Don’t forget California was Northern Mexican Territory Nauatl Indian land northern Aztec and a mixture of Spanish-Mexican peoples. There was some”Pocahontas in social tends where it was being Amnative was more accepted than truth that you were mestizo Mexican Spanish There was a Mexican fortress in San Diego and Mexican soldiers mixed with native Indians and Spanish Priests also had offspring with native Indian women, not necessarily clearly documented but disguised as a miracle birth to hide guilt by Priest who enslaved the Natives. In the name of Colonialism for Spain. Father Juniper Serra was no Saint.

Wondering if the ink would spread more is the T-shirt is slightly damp like what you do with tie dye?

I remember Danny Quak. He was a small guy and fantastic surfer.

I surfed the Wedge and The Point in the 80s and 90s.

I bought all of my wetsuits from the Frog House.

So cute. Thank you

Hi David is Mike Davies, I'm still in San Juan, where you at?

What a good educational video! I am just learning that my great (x4) grandfather was born in Aguanga. He was brought to San Juan Capistrano and raised Juaneño according to his records. But it’s possible he was actually Luiseño (Payómkawichum?)… I’m looking forward to finding out more. Thank you to everyone who has worked through the ages to keep the records, culture and identity of indigenous heritage! ❤ ‬

Your wrong the little dick heads our always pissed off they take it way too serious.

I love this guy 😅

OC In the 60's. Was fun 😅

Ima Quijano I wana learn more bout my tribe

living surf history right here

Beach road. Lived there had the time of my life

Don JOSE A. SEPULBEDA WAS MADE COMMISSIONER OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO MISSION IN 1836, Y FATHER THOMAS B. SEPULVEDA WAS BORN ACROSS THE STREET OF THE MISSION, MY GRANDMOTHER WAS A DESCENDENT OF THE AGUILAR FAMILY , IN FACT CRISTOBAL AGUILAR WAS NAMED ON THE WILL AND TESTAMENTO OF MY GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHERS WILL…!

Early seventies was an amazing time to be there. Got too crowded by the late 70s

What a great story! This would be so neat to travel back in time and see the animals grazing ocean front. That Mexican cowboy story is astonishing!

Trespassed on Dana Point in the late seventies. Before they built it up. There was one abandoned house right on the cliff what a great time to live there

I did try it. And it turned out awesome!

That's awesome 😊

Raciest crazy old evil man is what you are!!!

This is so wonderful to see members of my family ❤️ Chief Clarence Lobo was my great uncle.

What a hoot... this was my crowd, I lived in Dana Point and went to San Clemente High, class of '68. One cold ass stormy winter day 3 of us had Uppers to ourselves riding stand up barrels until we had to come in frozen to the bone. No one was around so we lit a fire and stood there hard rattling, blowing seawater out of our noses, until we spotted a lone Marine walking our way. It was decided to take this guy on and get him to let us walk away instead of facing that brutal ocean with the strongest North to South current we had ever been in. This plan went to shit as soon as we saw his Captain bars, and he started barking orders to put our boards down, and talking into his hand held radio calling for the truck. I feigned defeat but never let go of my board, waiting for my chance to bolt. He fell for the oldest trick when I sold it, "Is that the truck coming now?" I had a full step and a half lead by the time he looked back and lunged to get me, which gave my buddies the opportunity to Y off an escape as well. We almost drown laughing... I bet he never lived it down, loosing 3 prisoners in a matter of minutes. One__of many stories. ✍))

I am a Orange County Native American and want to learn more about my people and ancestors.

Great idea ❤ thank you 😊🇦🇺

What a cool idea!

Hi Rosie, I am Raul, Lili`s cousin. I saw on KZbin the Ceremony in which your Dad was honored. Congratulations!!!!

This gentleman is Spanish American Indian. Rather than Mexican. Listen to his background and you'll see the difference.

David my name is Lucien I went to the camp when you ran your camp with Chris Sandoval I would wish to get back in contact please reach back

My dad was hired by Transocean sometime in 1954 and was immediately farmed out to Iranian Airways, a subsidiary to Transocean! His name was Captain T. K. Delahunt based out of Oakland CA

Magic! Thank you for sharing.

In my opinion, the Army Corp of Engineers ruined the Wedge during their last repair. The impact zone of the large waves caused the massive jetty boulders to slide down in the sand away from the jetty. Instead of just putting them back where they belonged, they put much smaller boulders and shards of granite. This changed the slope of the jetty and affected the side wave. The shards would bounce off my head. Really a bad job of fixing the jetty.

Fantastic first hand account of local history

This is a great tutorial.

THANKS, I really needed a short tutorial. Greetings from Mexico 🦅🔥

Much love to the family who worked at the mission my family did to in south Dakota aho

It's look more real if you colour it under the plastic. Sheet

I love the recipe but the planet is not at risk from being destroyed but the human race is .

Love this. Great view of the sport and times.

This is my tribe , just starting to learn more about my roots lived in Orange County my whole life

Thank you for sharing this lovely tutorial.

What type of pumpkin do they use

Papa Paepo’o prone-style , no skeggs just flat bottom wood boards. Riding a 3/8” - 1/2” thick plywood is surfing. Until surf foam came along n sponge boards, it’s not paipo cause paipo is made out of wood..
