Gerry on Yoga

W WIND 25 TO 30 KT. GUSTS TO 35 KT. COMBINED SEAS 20 FT DOMINANT PERIOD 14 SECONDS.

"During my sophomore year at the University of Hawaii in 1967, I noticed a flyer about a yoga class for that evening. I think maybe it was the group of girls gathered around the announcement, all talking about how they were going to go check it out, that got my initial attention." -Gerry Lopez from Yoga or Something Like It

Per Paul Strauch: [The] Photo was taken in the 60's at Haleiwa at its best running 10 -12' on a NW with beautiful conditions... I remember the day well. It was a hairy takeoff because the guy on the red board dropped in on me and in a nano second, Joey Cabell was under me with George Downing in close pursuit. I think I crowded the guy in front of me into pulling out, but my memory stops there. Great day and super crowded since Haleiwa was the place to be!

...not a surfer.
“What can we do with the western coast, a coast of 3,000 miles, rockbound, cheerless, uninviting, and not a harbor on it? What use have we for such a country? I will never vote one cent from the public treasury to place the Pacific Ocean one inch nearer”
~Daniel Webster (American Statesman, Senator and Orator, 1782-1852)
Well...actually, there weren't any surfers on the west coast then...so maybe he can be excused.
