Hurracaine David 1979 - It was the first time I saw this beach breaking over 5 feet. The takeoff was about 15 yards behind the rocks and the ride was pretty solid tubbing. Never again I saw this place swell up like it, thanks hurracaine David. P.S. Back then the hotel was called the Sheraton and the fire still didn't happened, damm... Im dating myself, oldschool surfer... Playero puka wearing skateboarder in the halfpipe at Tacomaker Isla verde.
