10. is Kent. that shot is classic. I was either at work or sleeping....because I used to go to the beach in the early mornings even if it was raining most of the time, but if I was ill or very tired because I worked alot or the drug dealers on the Ocean Front Walk were making noise all night, I'd sleep in.

4 looks like Kurt Nelson, Chris Cahills half brother, 7 looks like Donald Schwartz, 8 looks like Joey Lee, and maybe Jay Schwartz for #3. None of those guys were the biggest of chargers back then, which would explain why they were sitting up on the tower. Jay Adams was probably up there cause there were some doobies being passed. He was not one to stay still very long. Must have been a real cold day , what a classic shot. It must have been very big or very marginal, maybe both, but to have everyone there staring seems kinda unusual.

# 9 looks like Scott Herman, He had an older brother named Parker, some really cool dudes, scott and I surfed a lot together, i went back last year and was in the old Zephyr shop, ran into an old freind and she said he had died. Bummer.
Those were the days.

Yeah, 2 could be bear, the legs and neck look like his. I see what you mean, venicepix, about alva, that would make sense.

South Jetty/Lifeguard Headquarters.. Same thing.
venicepix20-Jun-2005 03:41
It is the south jetty Anton, and I scanned the the frames from that day, looking the other way and posted them here . Can anyone recognize who was surfing?.....back in the day when wet suits were all black!
And I'm pretty sure #2 is Dennis, hanging with Jay. I think I remember the hat. Alva doesn't look all that sure of himself in this crowd...
Guest 18-Jun-2005 23:00
Yes, it's definitely the jetty they're looking at....
I wonder who 2, 3 & 4 are?
Anton 17-Jun-2005 21:05
I know all those guys, used to hang out with and at the same spots as most. I've seen this pic before...it's right next to the Venice Lifeguard Headquarters on the south side, they're probably checking out the jetty. I just can't remember everybodys name! 5 is definately John Kiers, knew him well well and saw him a year ago at the ASR...he's now an optometrist! 6 is Billy Yuron, 7 is Jim Davies, 8 looks like John Mahoney, 9 kinda looks like Dicky Alexander but I'm not posative, 10 is not Kent Martin and definately not Roach, it is definately John Medina, 11 is Nick Styman, 12 looks like John Hands 13 is Tony Alva
Guest 17-Jun-2005 19:39
With more consultation with CJ, 10. is definitely Kent Martin, 11. is Nick Stiman, 8. is defintely Mahoney.....
Guest 17-Jun-2005 19:15
Oh, and its possible 5. is Bear. and Adrian, are you 10.?
Guest 17-Jun-2005 19:11
I think 9. is Scott Hermann and 7. is Jimmy Davies. It looks like it was one of those days of a big winter swell...12. Looks like John Hands. 8. could be Mahoney. Everybody else looks so familiar....
