I remember one big day in March Huge east swell peaking up at the end of the Jetty, bomb drops and just cut back after cutback keeping close to the peak , then it would hit that sandbar on the inside and reel, That day the Coast Guard had a boat out there cutting into the crowd trying to chase us all from the water, the sherrif was on the jetty with a bullhorn trying to call us in and we all dodged the boat and surfed till we dropped oh those were the days probably 1978 or 79

caught it so good half a dozen times from 83'-87', then once with Dunny in 95', but they r militant now! do yall know about the 2 wave, n. side set by the big cruise ships and nuc sub? if not, u dont know shit bout da jetties! gig a 12lb flounder after surfing 6' fire all day! use to freedive it on slack tide as a grom and pull up windcheaaters, mirolures, and big bombers! most of your bucktails where 2 hard 2 get outta da rocks! my bros TA and DB(God rest his soul) use to rape that inlet on da Trips!

early eighties maybe 81 after a tropical storm pushed theough from the south, watched a very young KS get some sweet barrels and then a stylish cutback

Old and Slow can be stylish if you eliminate the jerky part

u never saw KS surfing there in 81! he was still on a boogie board! i should know, i was on his first surf team, CATRI, 82-85! todd holland and i maybe, but, not any of the Slater boys b4 84; GUARANZE! i know, im an original CC RAT!

Yeah, you made me try to think back, I'm sure it was before '84, right after a tropical storm had come up from the south. My friends said he was 9 years old.

I'm thinking it was Dennis in '81, caught it after David in '79 also. For sure I could be wrong but just the year

Bill Eberwein and I surfed inside the Port Canaveral Ship Channel before surf leashs. If you lost your surfboard, it would hit the rocks, unless someone saved it for you. We would ride almost to the middle. The fishing and tug boats would sound their horns. The Coast Guard told us, there was a risk when a freighter came through ,we could get drawn into ships propellers. Great rides in the Winter when anywhere South was rough.

On flat days in the summer we would go there and wait for the freighters. There passing would make 10 to 12 3ft waves that peeled forever inside. 69/70 there was no one there to harass us. the 4th thru 7th wake were the bigest.
