Tow-in surfing has its ups and downs!

Due to the red tide and numerous reports of lower intestinal tract disturbances, the state has posted this sign at the kiosk. Since California is now more then 50% hispanic, all state signs, flyers and other printed matter are to be printed in spanish.

RATTLESNAKES INVADE SAN ONOFRE

While walking across the bluff this morning to check the surf I damn near got bit by this rattlesnake. In fact, as I looked around, there were dozens of them and all at least 6 feet long! According to the state biologist for the area, these snakes are congregating at San Onofre in part from the wet winter and the current heat wave. Their favorite food just happens to be ground squirrels, rabbits, and puppies, all in large supply. This particular speices of diamondback is quite territorial and will defend its area with a vengeance against any and all intruders. There is no antidote for this speices and once bitten, death will occur in seconds. Beachgoers are advised not pretend they're Steve Irwin and pick one up.

PIRANHA AT SAN ONOFRE!

Here is a photo I took looking up at some tourist on a boogie board. What I did'nt realize at the time was that the fish swimming by that I thought was a surf perch was actually a PIRANHA! There were hundreds of them out there! According to Scripps there is a highly aggressive salt water piranha that has been migrating north from the tropics and makes its fresh water relatives seem like pet goldfish. Surfers are advised to use caution if they have any open wounds and all those female types need to stay out of the water during that time of the month!

Well San Zoonofre lived up to its name this morning. The south wind was on it first thing this morning, with a crowd you wouldn't believe. At 6:30 there was already 50 guys out at the Point. The swell has finally hit but, its lumpy,bumpy and blown out. There was a cry baby at the gate this morning in his tricked out Ford 4x4 van. He was parked in the dirt just to the left of the gate when M. in her motor home and J.&M. were behind her, then I pulled up behind them. When the line started to form down to the power plant entrance and Don-on-the-gate showed up this clown walks up to Don and asked if he gets to go in first because he was there first and Don told him he would have to get in line he started crying, but I was here first so I told him he may have been but he was illegaly parked in the dirt and the line forms in front of the gate so he storms back to his van and while hanging aright turn to go the the end of the line he almost hits Weenie-dog Don who was talking to J.&M. next to their motor home, then speeds down the road and down to the end of the line behind "Kemp-R-Rick" who decided to drive about 5 mpr down to Old Mans with this clown fuming behind him. This is going to be a fun summer at SanO. More later--------maybe

The secret spot at SanO known only to Puttzle, Dingo and the Mayor.

I was lucky enough to snap this photo of Sparky's Mom as she checked out Dingo who was taking pictures of Sparky on the reef at Old Mans.

While taking pictures of the StingRays, the Mayor snapped this photo of Sparky our resident White Shark cruising the SandBar.

A Bigfoot was seen walking the beach at DogPatch looking for handouts.

The Mayor took this photo yesterday at the SandBar. The StingRays are back.

From The Mayors Office

The Mayor got wet today for the first time in almost 3 months because of his torn tendon. It felt great to get wet and the reception in the water was very warm (so was the water). JB told me I could have Carte Blanc and he would give me any wave I wanted up until Aug. 15th because I was out of the water so long and missed so many waves (Thanks JB)! Glad to see Puttzles back on the Blog, I guess he couldn't stand all the days with a certain person not blogging. The red tide is almost gone from SanO but, with water temp rise the StingRays are back in numbers. Please take notice that the speed limit at SanO from the entrance all the way to roads end is now 15 MPR and posted. The Rangers have been going in early and watching everyone coming in and warning those who are speeding but , the warnings won't last long and then the tickets will start! Same thing with your dogs, they can't be on the beach and must be on a leash no longer than 6' in length and they must not be left unattended while you go surfing (this is a heavy ticket). I know this sounds like I'm preaching but, its only to make the day at SanO fun for everyone. Its a great place so please lets try to keep it that way. I know there's a few who feel rules do not apply to them but, what they do by not going by the rules is to ruin not only their day but someone else's as well. See you in the water. And for those of you who want to Kayak at Sano, please remember that the only place you can launch and ride your Kayak is at DogPatch at roads end. Thanks for listening and hope you liked our show.

This photo shows a cold war era russian nuclear warhead that surfaced off San Onofre. It became dislodged from its resting place by a fishing trawler and floated to the surface. Military authorities are afraid to get near it as it could potentially wipe out the population of Orange county. They are hoping it drifts to Mexico and does not wash ashore here.

This is the only known photo of the old whaling pier after the great hurricane of 1900. The pier was located at what is now Old mans and there are still a few pilings left just south of the shack. San Onofre was considered the whaling capital of the west coast in the late 1800's.

Inspired by his love of the latino culture, Tubesteak proudly displays his new ride.

Sunday morning's minus tide revealed dozens of unexploded world war ll shells all over the reef at Old mans. Park rangers believe that an old ammunition ship sank off San Onofre during the war and is finally breaking apart. Each one of these weigh over 500 pounds and could level a city block. Beachgoers are urged to use caution when playing with these.

BREAKING NEWS!!

Here is a photo of the "dirty little secret" that the State parks don't want you to know. This undercover shot was taken at the maintenance yard on the access road. What you see are some of the thousands of man-eaters the state has been secretly fishing out of Old mans every night. They fear that if the public ever caught wind of this, all hell would break loose and revenues would drop. More to follow.....

I had my brand new disposable water proof camera to take some surf shots when this swam under my board. It was as long as my 10-6!!

Ever wonder where the Red Tide comes from?

From The Mayors Office

Its good to hear from Unt Puttzle. The surf sucked today with it being 2to3 this morning with the South wind blowing right off the bat. I was set to try my foot today but the wind bummed me out. Friday I hope I can get my foot wet, its only been 3 months since I've been wet. I wish Puttz was here to go in with me. There was a dead Sealion on the beach this morning, looks like Sparky and fluffy are back. More later--------maybe

STINGRAY INJURIES AT SAN ONOFRE

Mon Jul 4, 1:06 PM ET
Lifeguards along the North County coast are warning beachgoers Monday to be on the lookout for stingrays after 347 people got whipped by the barb-tailed creatures at San Onofre Surf beach. Ranger Hal Dairywimple said a weak swell and small waves made it easy for the rays to get into the surfline, and the number of people stung Sunday was many times the number of encounters on a normal summer day. He said the bottom was carpeted with the things. "It's almost impossible not to step on at least one"! "They love the red tide" said Dr Ralph of the Dana Point Stingray institute. Lifeguards recommend pouring cool water and urine over the wound to ease the pain and seeking medical help if the barb becomes lodged in the flesh.

TWO HEADED SNAKE FOUND AT SAN ONOFRE

Scientists say both heads are working well This two-headed snake is being studied by scientists at the San Onofre Nuclear Power plant. The biological curiosity has four eyes and two tongues. It also has two sets of fangs and is very poisonous. Zoologists from the State Parks say the rare reptile can eat using both heads at the same time. They hope to discover if it has two separate digestive tracts and whether one head is dominant over the other. The baby snake was found by a painter named Moe at the nuclear plant It is believed to be a few months old and is lucky to have survived in the wild. Eating is a slow process and the two heads have been known to fight each other for food. Other double-headed snakes have been found at Trestles, Trails, and Surf beach.

Local Surfers Accidentally Break World Record

Fiftyseven Surfers Ride 'Party Wave' At Point!

SAN ONOFRE, Calif. -- Surfers at San Onofre state Beach unofficially broke the world record for a "party wave" by riding the same wave simultaneously, according to Murphy the Mayor.. After numerous hops, 57 surfers managed to get up on a single wave for at least five seconds Wednesday, said Murphy. The record now listed by Guinness World Records was set in Australia in December 2002, with 38 surfers. "It was out of control out there, but we accidentally beat the old record by 19," Murphy said. About 500 surfers paddled out, which is about 100 more then normal for the point.. Three professional surfing judges who happen to be stuck in the middle of it will provide documentation to Guinness to validate the record, according to Murphy, who said he intends to start surfing at Dogpatch..
