Still my favorite adventure: Newport legend Patrick Hanifin and I
scheming ways to make night-surfing more visible. We came close to
making national news, then remembered the reason it all started: to
get AWAY from the crowds.

Here’s a great link if you’re a Los Angeles bound surfer.

It’s my personal wacky guided tour of the SoCal surf spots, complete with local interviews and restaurant guides.  I wrote this for Swell.com/ Surfline.com a few years ago.

YOU MAY HAVE A SHARK PROBLEM IF:

All the radio stations are playing the theme from "Jaws".

The seals are wearing Kevlar.

The lifeguard wants you to fill-out an organ donor card, and anybody going in the water gets chained to three barrels.

You see a fisherman using a whole cow for bait.

Back at the surf shop, a guy named "Stitches", tries to sell you a wetsuit with a leg missing.

You see Dick Cheney is taking Bin Laden waterskiing.

A camera crew shows up, and Johnny Knoxville dives in naked with half  of a tuna.

.... THAT's when you know you have a shark problem. ... Jaz
