C STREET NOT GOOD FOR YOUR SEX LIFE
C Street looks like a fun spot to surf. I lived in Silverstrand during the 80's so I had no desire to downgrade to the mushy crowded waves there. But here is an interesting story. In 83 there was a huge swell going on. I found myself on the pier watching while waiting for our reservations at the local restaurant. There was a lethal rip coming from the point down and through the pier. One of the kooks realized that it was too big and tried to paddle in at the cove and got caught in the rip. His fate was obvious. He was coming at me going at least 10 MPH when a huge set came through the pier. We made eye contact and I started screaming at the guy "TAKE OFF YOUR LEASH" He was petrified with fear and was under the pier when the first wall of 6 foot wall of whitewater hit him. All I heard was a sickening BAM!! Meanwhile my girlfriend started nagging me "They called our name, let's go" When I ran to the south side of the pier all that came out was half of his surfboard. With my girlfriend bitching at me I ran and jumped off the pier onto the sand. The guys leash was wrapped around a piling. He was conscious but dazed. He was just doing nothing to save himself. There was another set coming through so I had to swim out and pull him in. Meanwhile my girlfriend was freaking out over the reservations and screaming at me from the pier as I dragged this guy onto the beach. They wouldn't seat us because I was wet. Long story short, the guy lived and I did not get laid that night. I hate Ventura Point.

Davey Miller's legacy...
He's still around and still a total prick. I remember being a grom way back and Davey used to throw rocks at people from the beach at the Pipe and Stables. He got chased out of Hawaii, now he's making plenty of enemies here again. He's the type who thinks he owns any spot he paddles out at. Yeah he rips, but the guy is almost 50 now. He needs to pull the stick outa his arse, and just play jazz with his trio at Paddy's.

Girlie Wave
Watch out for all the girls surfing this spot. They'll get in your way. Please forgive them; they are just following the latest trend. Don't run them over either. You wouldn't want to ruin their pretty faces.(ha ha)
