I Started surfing at Cowell’s in January, 1964. The crowd consisted of me, my friend and his dad. My friend had gotten a Tiki brand surfboard , a pop out, for Christmas. You could rent boards from a guy named Otto who operated out of an old service station very close to the beach at the bottom oc Cowell's. Most boards were balsa logs and Otto had a monkey with a chain around his neck who lived in a cage atop a high pole. We lived in Los Gatos and surfed The hook after school in 66 & 67 with no one out. Population of California was about 12 million then and 40 million today. Surf as much as you can cause it always gets more crowded!

It was a heck of a workout lugging those boards over to Cowell's. Great point about the population, 20 million in 1979 since new melonie's dam was built. Now we have 40 million and no new dams since. Wonder why there is no water:)

The longest wave I surfed was from Indicator at Cowells all the way to the beach in front of the Dream Inn, circa 1968. I was hoping to kick out at the beach break, but legs gave out and I did an ungraceful drop to the knees and then overboard just prior... , ha. The wave flattened out and bult up just like the Lane wave and I had to cut back here and there to stay in the wave before it built up again. It depends partly on the sand bottom as well as the swell direction.

Check this out: In the giant south summer swell in 1993, 1994, or 1995, I went out at the Lane. Because it was a south, there was no middle peak, as always. Only the point and the slot. It looked so big that it looked like the end of the world. We got waves from the point to the Dream Inn. Only time I've ever seen the point connect to the Dream Inn. Tom Powers was out on his Mav's gun. Same here. My Haut 10' 4." The crew that went to Big Sur? (Out of their fucking minds to drive south of Monterey on a South swell that size. If you know Renneker, you know where they went. Jeff Clark, Mark Renneker, Grant, Don Curry. I don't know who else. Don was in such good shape, Jeff Clark told me he was the only one who didn't almost drown.

So perfect..., except for getting sucked backwards over the falls when tangled up in kelp. But there were positive highlights too. Ah memories.

This wave looks like so much fun whether your a beginner to head high swell and lengthy rides that features many different styles/conditions of waves mixed all into one; It also appears to be one hell of a lengthy ride for any surfer of any degree/caliber however an experienced rider could easily rip this entire wave with an ease unlike many others because it appeared to have lull points where you could just glide and kinda regroup for the next gnarly rip-able section approaching ! Stay Groovy, Keep Rippin’ !!!
