SAN ONOFRE, Ca. - After Park Rangers fired 22 shots at a fleeing man without hitting him, the state park says they'll pay nearly $7,000 to repair bullet holes in vehicles and surfboards that were hit during the wild confrontation. According to insurance claims filed by both drivers and surfers, shots fired by four rangers in pursuit of 39-year-old I. M. Hopper, hit doors, windows, surfboards, speeding SUV's and a gopher. No one was injured in the March 9 chase. San Onofre is a beach of about 11,000 surfers surrounded by the Camp Pendleton. The shots came as rangers tried to apprehend Hopper, who had been the target of a manhunt after he was accused of "dropping in" on every wave he could regardless of who is riding. He was arrested May 4th less than 100 yards from the point. After a short car chase, Hopper drove through a patch of bamboo and over a new Talega Surf & Sport board before crashing his car into bathroom #4.

Mr. Hopper was heard yelling upon taking off, "Its my last wave" but would paddle out and do it again according to 2 of the new Rangers, Ranger Smith and Ranger Wesson!
Where is Talega Surf & Sport? I live in Talega and can't find it anywhere. After visiting this web site, I want to start surfing like all my neighbors have done and I need a board. Do they give lessons? Is there a shuttle to your beach from Talega.
Thanks,
