"End of Summer 1999
The San Clemente Body Surfing Club had a fantastic summer with many new members, lots of great waves and best of all, many new friendships were made, and old ones cemented!
The summer started out with warm water and sunny skies, good friends and some mild swells. Then somehow Seattle sent it's weather patterns down south and we had weeks of overcast and worse of all -- the water went from 70 to 62 overnight! However, this turn of events did little to detour our devoted (crazed?) members.
Every Wednesday night the crew would gather under the palapa at North Beach. The regulars included - yours truly (Scot E. Ferris), Don and Susie Long, Mila and Kurt Finlay (who always brought a giant basket of fresh home-baked Snickerdoodle cookies!), John 'Dr. John' and Eileen 'Dr. Eileen' Seibert (thanks for the firepit and wood!), Al 'The Hooded Wonder' White and his awesome salads, The Saunders Clan (all seven of them, Bill, Sherry, Kerri, Scotty, Bridget, Dennis and Kurt, Tim and Scott (with two 'T's'), Eric, the police dude with the Fu-Manchu who was always on patrol, and the homeless guy who always had his bedroll and 'house' rolled out under the palapa when we showed up. I know I've forgotten somebody, so let me know and I'll add your name to the list."
