...Over heard on the beach during the San Onofre Surf Club Contest....
"After surfing one afternoon at Haleiwa, Manuel found a bottle while walking up the beach with his surfboard...."
He opened the bottle and out popped a Genie who granted him two wishes for releasing him from his glass prison.
Manuel thought long and hard and then told the Genie he wanted him to build a freeway from Haleiwa to his homeland of Portugal so he could drive there. You see, Manuel didn't trust airplanes.
The Genie pondered and
suggested that Manuel wish for something else
because of the difficulty in making a freeway
from Haleiwa all the way to Portugal. The Genie
asked him what he wanted for his second wish.
Manuel thought about it for several minutes, and
then told the Genie if he had to give up his
first wish that for his second wish he wanted to
be the smartest person on earth.
The Genie immediately asked Manual how many lanes
he wanted on the freeway."

Simple Pleasures...
...Every Sunday, most
of the club members arrive at Sano and park in
front of "Four Doors" in the reserved
parking area for the Hawaiian Surf Club. Not! We
just get there so early that we don't have to
worry about space.
Slowly the cars pull up and the weekly ritual
begins all over again. Everyone gets out with
their coffee mugs full or pours in a second cup
from the thermos.
The group gathers and morning greetings are
muttered while scanning the horizon for whitewater
activity. The serious surfers say no to the
donuts while the social minded ones usually have
both hands full.
One day anxious to get out into the surf, I got
roped in with several other members to a long
story by Frank Marasco. Frank is such a great
story teller. He also has the greatest laugh,
too.
Well, when he finally finished his tale, I looked
at the logo on the front of his fleece jacket
which read, "Simply Hawaiian", and said
to him, "Isn't that "Y" on your
jacket supposed to be an "E"?
After thinking for a moment, Frank looked back
quizzically at me and said, "No, why?"
Ooooh, my shoulder still hurts from the punch I
took from his wife, Helen! Courtesy
