Riding Flexi Racers in La Jolla – Via Capri and Hillside Drive

March 30, 2022 by Albert 1 Comment

A Flexy Racer was essentially a Flexible Flyer with rubber wheels. No need for snow; all you needed was a nice steep street and a high tolerance for friction skin burns and broken bones. You could steer it like a sled, and it had rudimentary brakes on the front wheels. However, the only reliable stopping method was to veer off onto somebody’s yard and roll off or hit a curb … [Read more...] about Riding Flexi Racers in La Jolla – Via Capri and Hillside Drive

End of an Era in La Jolla – The Way We Were, by Tommy Carroll

July 20, 2010 by Albert 27 Comments

I was sent a w, and even if it is a bit before Mac Media, it is a classic of what La Jolla was in the late 1940s and set the foundation for the craziness and bizarre times of the 1960s and 70s. Thanks, for the Tommy Carroll,  many of you would have forgotten the 40's. These are the people who laid the groundwork for the surfing, diving, fishing and let's not forget partying. … [Read more...] about End of an Era in La Jolla – The Way We Were, by Tommy Carroll

Police Raid WindanSea, La Jolla – Mac Meda July, 1968, Convention

May 25, 2010 by Albert 11 Comments

Brian Munoz probably summarized it best; after getting a few "to-go orders"  for a beer run, he went to the Liquor Box, filled his truck with cases, and when he started pulling out of the parking lot  heading down Nautilus St -  that’s when he slammed on his brakes. He suddenly had become the caboose of a freight train of police cars heading to WindanSea Beach. It was known … [Read more...] about Police Raid WindanSea, La Jolla – Mac Meda July, 1968, Convention

La Jolla – Car Goes Over Torrey Pines Cliff – Blacks Beach

October 9, 2009 by Albert 15 Comments

Blacks Beach's for surfing and nakedness, and 3) for pushing cars off. Okay, the first two are still what the cliffs are known for, however the third, it is been outlawed for obviously reasons. Back in the late  1930s Torrey Pines was a quick way to get rid of that junker, you know those white elephant Model Ts (now worth their weight in gold)  that  were a dime a dozen … [Read more...] about La Jolla – Car Goes Over Torrey Pines Cliff – Blacks Beach

La Jolla’s WindanSea – Surfers, Flexy Flyer, Nazis Riding Storm Drains

September 26, 2009 by Albert 8 Comments

Back in the early 1960s, everyone in California knew there was something different about the La Jolla's WindanSea crowd and surfers like Curren, Mike Diffenderfer (RIP) Tiny Brain Thomas, Billy Graham, and Butch Van Artsdalen (RIP)." Pat Curren and Mike Diffenderfer were known to hang at the Birds Rock's  Sip and Surf and Red Mountain Inn and Tiny Brain Thomas was a bartender … [Read more...] about La Jolla’s WindanSea – Surfers, Flexy Flyer, Nazis Riding Storm Drains

Mac Meda Mexico Convention – Kegs, Drunks and Federales

September 12, 2009 by Albert 7 Comments

Sometime in late 1966 another Mac Meda Convention, had to happen ...  and it had to be the best one to date ... but where could you go without the hassle of the cops? "Well,  there is this funky and small bar and restaurant called Concheria at Lecerito or Cerito beach," someone mentioned. "Lecerito, Cerito Beach ... where the hell is that?" Oh about 20-30 miles south … [Read more...] about Mac Meda Mexico Convention – Kegs, Drunks and Federales

LA JOLLA BEACHES BEING ABUSED BY COMMERCIAL VENDORS
Some bad things are happening to our La Jolla beaches and that is, vendors are blocking off areas for private parties and making large profits off public beaches. Now as the law reads, these vendors can get a permit to have a private party and that permit is ONLY for 50 people, BUT, they CAN NOT ASK or MAKE you leave (even if they show you your permit)  if you are sitting in a spot they want to have their party at ...
