cwmac - <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" /> I too grew up on a surfboard. But the east coast waves, or lack thereof, finally took their toll and I got rid of my boards and switched to sailing beach cats. The wind was more reliable than the waves. I still have a beach cat, although not for long. Trading it and my house in on a real boat. Hey, get this >> just got some new shades a couple months back. With progressive reading "enhancements." <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> That way JL and Pep can use 'em, but not ark** - she's not old enough. WAT

Now, do I ship these as parishable?? Or would you like the dry ones? They're lighter - cost less to ship!

Serendipitee, I loved your comment about Florida-----> "God's waiting room." Made me lol <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> KiwiJ, Beachcomers no. Sperry Topsiders, yes. "Beach Preppy" was the look. Here in my part of so Cal there was a tennis shoe manufactuer, Vans, that made red ones. Very cool at mh H.S. People also wore those Mexican sweatshirts. Think Spicccoli in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" I knew people just like Spiccoli. "Yeeeaaah dude. The waves are gnarly." BTW, earlier you said bikini. I thought NZ & Aus was topless. My mistake. WAT, Beach cats are cool although beaches here don't really have long enough stretches for them due to rocks, jetties Oh and tourists. Clunk. "What did I just runover?" I think they go by sand/wind racers out here and used more often in the deserts. I was a so so board surfer. My first love was body surfing. Had the Duck Feet. Then I think I was one of the first owners of a Morey Boogie in my city. I can see a set coming in, "outside." Betrayed, Henley's Boys of Summer was me. Whole group of friends. Days at the beach. Nights looking for parties and chicks. But what does Henley say? "You can never look back, never look back." <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> Even now one of my favorite Summer days would be spent at the beach. Summer wetsuit on; in the water with my body board. Could spend hours out there; wave after wave. Hopefully a pod of dolphins would come by and catch waves. The "bushy bushy blond hairdo" is gone but I'm still a "dude" in my heart. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> cwmac <small>[ June 05, 2004, 02:02 PM: Message edited by: cwmac ]</small>

CW, you are DEFINITELY younger than me if you didn't wear Beachcombers. Topsiders weren't really a surfie thing here. More a "city" thing and very preppy/yuppie. TOPLESS! You have got to be kidding. In Oz they have beach police to make sure everyone's decent. Here, it never "caught on." I do remember once sitting down for lunch at home in my bikini and my father telling me to get properly dressed before I sat at the table. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Ah, it takes me back.... Unfortunately, that time of my life is somewhere I shouldn't go to now as OM was most of my life back then. (He was HS b/f). So, moving onwards but it's been fun hearing where everyone is from.

ok...that would be "live" not "leave". Us Southern girls sometimes have problems with using the correct words in case you haven't noticed <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

KiwiJ, You said... </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> CW, you are DEFINITELY younger than me </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">You said it not me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> I realize Topsiders were more preppie in most parts that's why I called it "Beach Preppie." It was much more casusal. Kinda it's own style. Kinda a cross between surfer and Preppie Are Beachcomers sandals? If so of course we had them but known as "flip flops" or "___ flaps" "Herraci (sp?) sandals, too." Didn't realize OM was HS BF. W's OM was her co-worker in early 80's. Lost touch. Anyway.... Hubby, Hey neighbor! What city you in? If you don't want to say, what area code. cwmac-----> (949) outta here, cwmac

cwmac...so your still a "dude" at heart. I can still hear Spacoli in Fasttimes talking. What a great movie that was, and oh yes, the boys of summer! H and I were living in Panama City FL then. Those were great times. I don't like the remix of that song. It was a Don Henley classic and should have been left alone!!

Lisa, I forgive you for not including us foreigners. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
Beachcombers, CW, were sneakers. They were always blue, had a thick white sole with a red line running through the white part. Does that make any sense?
My son wears Vans. He's vegan and they make "all natural no animal product" shoes as well as regular ones.
And, yup, HS b/f from when I was 13 to when I was 18 when I broke up with him but we stayed friends till I married H - and I mean friends - no romantic attachment on my side whatsoever.
