Killer Dana, California RIP
August 29, 1966. “Dana point focalized
more wave energy than any spot 75 miles
to the north or south. Summer or winter,
swells wrapped in, peaked and pealed
over a half-dozen distinct reef sections
with names like Mepees, Indicators, boneyard
and Garbage Hole.” Surfer’s
Journal Volume 1 #3. -more- |
