San Onofre

San Onofre is truly a great and fun place to hang out... to surf, learn to surf, drink in the sun, throw horseshoes or just lurk and watch the surf..
Pelicans are the best surfers....

Bakker and his grom get a few...




Grom gets a big fish and takes over 45 mins to land.


Badfoot enjoys a beer in safety in international waters.


Uncle Steve gets a few shots on his Waveski!!!


And remember, there are no dogs allowed in the Dog Patch
