SURF IN THE CITY

Ocean Beach

San Francisco

I first visited Ocean Beach in the summer of 1968.  I was starting my first year at the California College of Arts & Crafts in Oakland.  45 years later,  I still frequent Kellys Cove near The Cliff House.  Most of the locals from that era have been long gone  but this year there will a reunion for a group of the "Old School" longboarders.  The theme is "Off The Wall" and will feature a surf film, animation, and surf music at the Balboa Theater on Saturday, September 28,2013.

NIGHT MOVES

The new East Bay Bridge 

opened last night 

for the first time 

on September 2, 2013

Labor Day.

The new gateway to The East Bay Span is beautiful, day or night.

I first crossed the old Bay Bridge exactly 45 years ago 

en route to Oakland fresh from Honolulu via SFO Airport. 

This was my first trip to the "mainland" continent from
Kauai, my original home in the Hawaiian Islands.

It was 1968, 45 years ago, when I started to attend art school at 

The California College of Arts & Crafts in Oakland.

(Now Known As The Caifornia College of The Arts

in both San Francisco and Oakland.)

The old bridge will be dismantled slowly, piece by piece.

This day begins a new era for crossing the SF Bay from The East Bay.

I look forward to cycling and walking over the bridge

in the next 2 years ~ 2015.
