Mr Ride The Right Board - Sad this about this place is it used to be a real performance wave. Now it's so clogged up with fat ass transplants on longboards that a real local surfer has a hard time getting any waves. Same thing at any wave with a big channel I guess, you get these fat lazy slobs who somehow are able to stuff their fat bloated beer guts into a XXL wetsuit and flop on their 10 foot surftecs like a beached seal and just stink up the lineup. But if you get there and you see that it's to crowded with old fat guys on longboard just ask around the parking lot for a guy named Muta, he gives free B.J.'s to visiting surfers!

Surfing Pt Areana in the 1970's - We locals back then consisted of Myself and Joe Hancock from the Air Force Base,Ron Vetterli was in the Coast Gaurd at the Lighthouse, Rick Caroll was in the Coast Gaurd at the Loran Station,Paul Akland was a senior at Pt Arena High and Randy Vetterli was a shaper for Haute Surfboards.
We mostly surfed Schooner's Gulch,Mote Creek,Whiskey Shoals,Irish Beach,The south side of Arena Cove pier and of course the Rights. We watched the rights for almost a year before we ever surfed it. We didn't have leashes back then. We all had single fin shortboards. We eventually started fabricating leashes when we surfed the rights. It was so hard to hold on to your board when the cleanup sets came and you didn't make it to the bullkelp. Back then we called it "The Warf". I have surfed North Shore and alot of other places but the longest I have ever been held down was the "Warf Rights".The only other surfers we ever saw were some longboarders from Casper at the south side of the pier. No localism back then...we loved to see another surfer.
Bill and Delia Hays owned the ranch at Mote Creek and when we surfed there Delia would find our clothes and hold them up till we would paddle in and pay her $5. It was worth it when a good south was hitting.
Fun Times...I miss it.
I now live in Ojai Ca. and surf Ventura breaks.
