My Favorite Surf Shop
The only drawback is that they have a very limited selection of surfboards. In fact, now that I think about it, in the hundreds of times I've been there, I don't think I've ever seen a surfboard or a wetsuit. But it's still my favorite surf shop.

MEDICAL WASTE AT SAN ONOFRE...
This poor man was wading in the shorebreak when he knelt down to rescue an errant Sea Hare that had become entangled in the kelp. To be ironically rewarded for his good deed, he ended up kneeling on an old rusty syringe full of some sort of yellowish fluid. To add insult to injury, the angle of which he knelt coupled along with his rather large girth forced about 3cc's of the fluid directly into his knee. He is undergoing AIDS testing at this very moment.

Congratulations Rich
HUNTINGTON BEACH – Surf history was embraced Thursday morning at the 15th annual Surfing Walk of Fame, where inductees spoke about favorite memories, and what it means to be honored in front of Jack's Surf Shop.
For local legend Rich Chew, pictured above, the Southern California way of life was perfect.
Checking out the good looking ladies while lifeguarding during summers, then off to Hawaii to surf in the winters. Of course, flights to Hawaii back in the day were only $99. And gas was a whopping 50 cents.The former San Clemente lifeguard, who still surfs five days a week, recalls being able to drive down Pacific Coast Highway and know everyone on the beach.
Chew – like many of his fellow honorees – recalled the good ol’ days during the Surfing Walk of Fame ceremony in front of Jack’s Surf Shop, an awards ceremony now in its 15th year.

You can get a real hodgepodge of images that have appeared at San-O Daze, and through the magic of Google, even some that haven't.

ARCHY RICE DEMANDS RETRACTION
if the information in this public forum can not be made to be without hurtful and untrue statements about Archy Rice , sanodaisy should be removed from the public forum. i for one am sick and tired of the tireless attacks on archy. he is much too humble a man to stick up for himself so i am defending him. shotzy hereby demands a retraction of all stories, clips, quips, and doctored photos. if my demands are not met i will retain sydney carton esq. to seek damages for undue duress, and intentionl infliction of emotional distress.

This clown was observed at sano's luau last week riding a 99 dollar pop out soft top. it just goes to show you, equipment is irrelevant, when you have this sort of talent.

Panaman Demands An Apology
Evidently, previous posts by this contributor were extremely hurtful to Panaman aka Howard Fischer. It has always been my understanding that San-O Daze was strictly satire, comedy, poking fun and teasing of people, places and things. Making a farce out of the goings on at San Onofre has been the mantra. I was thoroughly dressed down by Panaman on Saturday and he let it be known to all that he is pissed off and that I am an evil person. Meant to be funny previous posts by myself and others regarding Panaman's rock borrowing from San-O and his and mine competition regarding a Burger King commercial were taken extremely personal by him and he is very angry and obviously hurt. San Onofre is not the place to harbor bad feelings.
Panaman, I am formally apologizing for anything I have ever posted about you that may have been hurtful. It was supposed to be all in fun and I can now fully understand that you did not take it that way. Hopefully you are man enough to accept my apology. I invite you to discuss this face to face if you wish and iron out any ill will.
Sincerely,
Spin Evans aka Ron Chamberlain

Jesse Jackson Drops The "N" Bomb.
The same Jesse Jackson who called on the entertainment industry, including rappers, to stop using the N-Word, and who also urged the public to BOYCOTT the DVD set of "Seinfeld" after Michael Richards was taped using the word during a rant at a Los Angeles comedy club in 2006 - 8 years after after the TV series was over, used the N-Word himself when referring to blacks when he said Obama was telling them how to behave.
Story here, and, tomorrow EVERYWHERE.

Special Report
EXCLUSIVE
From John R. (Special to San-O Daze)
San Onofre, CA. - A 48-year-old man was charged Friday with disorderly conduct for allegedly lying about seeing two great white sharks, one off of San Onofre and the other off of Doheney State Beach, authorities said.
San Clemente police Chief Bob Kiefer said Archie Rice warned people to get out of the water at San Onofre State Beach on Thursday. Rice claimed he had seen a shark about 22 feet long and 3,000 pounds while he was on a stand up paddle board just off the power plant.
Officials closed the beach, but Kiefer said investigators later determined Rice was lying.
When asked by detectives where he got the board, Rice became very combative and was suspected of being high or drunk although no tests were administered, Kiefer said.
There was no listing for Rice in the city's directory. Kiefer said he had heard that Rice had asked attorney Sidney Carton, Esq. to represent him, but he was turned down.
A second beach, Doheney State Beach was closed because Rice was seen "chumming" dog remains from his kayak and then claimed to have seen the second shark, slightly larger at 28 feet and 6,000 pounds— a short while later a retired lifeguard from San Clemente said he had seen the great white shark as well.
The beaches were reopened Friday.

SURFER TRAPPED BY BEACH BALLS
It seems that surfing at San Onofre can be a little dangerous…
A man got a nasty surprise when he tried to get out of his beachchair and found his testicals had become stuck between two slats of wood. BK had been surfing naked off Old Mans beach and his testicles had shrunk in the cool sea. When he sat down they slipped through the slats and then, as he lay in the sun, expanded back to normal size. He was freed after he called Park Rangers on his mobile phone and they sent a Ranger to cut the deckchair in half.

The Toll Road, The Right To Bear Arms, The Alcohol Ban, Free Speech, Gay Marriage, The Point, The Dirt Road
It's a privilege to be here in the USA, free to discuss and debate these issues, and others. As we celebrate our independence and the founding of our republic, I am mindful that this privilege is secured each day by men and women serving in our military.
I saw this picture of a U.S. Marine, from the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, who was caught, without his helmet, by Taliban fire in Afghanistan on May 18, 2008. Obviously, he did not hesitate to stand up with the others in his squad and return fire. It reminded me of the sacrifices that those serving in our military make for all our citizens.
He was not hit and is okay.
