There was some rough and ready surf life in the Sixties in Bolinas, though, wonderfully over the top as might be expected. But still no Woodies. This long season of our Woodie deprivation must stop.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShJXGnM1SYo" rel="nofollow">This Little Woodie by the Fantastic Baggys, for Ron</a>TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-28584066802342328712009-11-12T11:12:34.527-08:002009-11-12T11:12:34.527-08:00Bob,

For those, you had to go to Marin county. The folks I knew who had those were in fact part of the folk scene living around Van Damme's house boat in Richardson Bay.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250950725876683923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-24732880368700836992009-11-12T05:42:36.432-08:002009-11-12T05:42:36.432-08:00Tom,
