My apologies on misspelling Dick Pollock's last name. There are a couple really old surf mags with some very good photo's of the Sebastian Inlet including a few of Monster Hole. One article was titled "I Love Cocoa Beach" and it had some insane pictures of first peak with Mike Tabling and Fletcher Sharpe. It mislabeled some of the pictures as Shark Pit. I think MT might have written that article but not 100% sure. Also another article titled "Florida in 250 Words or Less" and I think Gary Propper was the lead on that one. That article included a couple priceless pictures that showed just how good it was. There was a picture of Dick Catri on a giant perfect right at Monster Hole, another picture of Buzzy Foye on a beautiful lime green wedge, another pulled back picture showing a long period swell creating a "first peak" wedge that due to the long interval is shifted way to the north and it was very open angled wedge unlike the tight over wedged waves that plagued it before it's final demise in 2005 or so. The was another pictorial that Alan Margolis did that called it "Morning Side Drive" which was probably around 75'. It had some great pictures of 1st peak with JC, Greg Loehr and Doug Wright. Besides the jetty rebuild I think the sand accumulation all around the inlet is what ruined it. Early on it was really deep all around the inlet.
