Four Escape Death – 200 Foot Plunge off La Jolla Cave Street
Mac Meda people have always cheated death and quite frankly, some we are surprised that they have lived as long as they have. No doubt, this post is probably one of the luckiest ones. Back in February 1968, Richard Krug's friend, Larry Cornellius, asked to borrow his brand new pickup. Richard hesitated, then gave him the keys. Hours later wondering where his truck was, … [Read more...] about Four Escape Death – 200 Foot Plunge off La Jolla Cave Street
La Jolla Outrageous Parties, Drinking Beer and Wild Women
Occasionally, when reading surfing publications, there is a reference to the ‘Mac Meda Destruction Company’ of La Jolla, California. The writer often makes a reference to outrageous parties, drinking beer, wild women, tearing things up, surfing, and generally having a really bitchen time. The Mac Meda Destruction Company was started in the early 60’s by Jack Macpherson … [Read more...] about La Jolla Outrageous Parties, Drinking Beer and Wild Women
La Jolla Abalone Dive – Mac Meda Contest
Why would anyone brave cold and potentially dangerous surf, unpredictable currents, and stories of bull-shitting, man-eating sharks for abalone? Strangely enough, ab divers spend an estimated $6,000,000 and $10,000,000 for abalone and at $100 per pound in places, we are talking a serious shellfish. Presuming it's unlikely that all of the estimated 40,000 recreational … [Read more...] about La Jolla Abalone Dive – Mac Meda Contest
Steve Manns – A Meda Legend – La Jolla & Pacific Beach
Steve Manns at one time was one of the hottest golfers in California. He lived in his parent's garage in Pacific Beach, but hung out in La Jolla and with the Mac Meda crowd. He was unreal on what chemicals and alcohol he could consume and still be standing. Seen here after a 3 day bender in 1975, this one-armed golfer and carpenter (other hand always held a beer, cocktail or … [Read more...] about Steve Manns – A Meda Legend – La Jolla & Pacific Beach

Dave Calloway, Eber, and Jeff Mullis – Mission Bay Landing
This infamous group looks like a bunch of bikers that would have you shitting your pants if you ran into them in a dark alley. Needless to say, you could not get a better group, providing you fished, dived, surfed, body surfed, played Over-the-Line, volleyball, raised hell, hung out at Tugs (defunct PB bar) and/or Ocean Fresh, and drank a ton of beer. Dave Calloway (l-RIP) … [Read more...] about Dave Calloway, Eber, and Jeff Mullis – Mission Bay Landing
La Jolla Mailman – Jack MacPherson Postal Worker
Born and raised in La Jolla and with a great personality, it seemed logical he would become a mailman. Everyone on Jack's La Jolla mail route knew him. He used to love Christmas - his tips weren't a few bucks or coins, but 6-packs and/or cases of beer. Many would asked him in for a beer or invite him to their Christmas parties. He was well-liked and knew everyone by … [Read more...] about La Jolla Mailman – Jack MacPherson Postal Worker
