Don't remember the thumbs up. I remember calling natural art's surf report. I always enjoyed Fifer's sp? reports. Then I would call the shop number anyway and annoy the employees. OP was gay but Gotcha was still cool. Don't remember hot summer nights on ESPN and this was before fuel TV. I do remember being dropped off at the beach all day with no cell phone or anyway to get a hold of my parents if someone got hurt. Usually between Hangers and Natural Art. I remember when leashes didn't have the swivel and they would get twisted really easy. "The place" to be was always Sebastian before the jetty extension.
