He made it through his first heat and had a second heat. I lost my first heat. My brother and I were walking around South Mission when we saw a poster advertising this surf contest on a telephone pole. The entry was something like $5, and you had to be under 14. We were relieved that we made the age quailfication. We went and got our dad, showed him the poster, and were stoked when he said we could do it, he would pay the entry. Money was tight in those days. I lost the first heat of the first contest I was ever in, which discouraged me from contests ever since. <a title=\"http:\/\/www.leucadiasurfschool.com\" dir=\"ltr\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.leucadiasurfschool.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0033cc;\">http:\/\/www.leucadiasurfschool.com<\/span><\/a> <a title=\"http:\/\/www.vintagesurfmovies.com\" dir=\"ltr\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.vintagesurfmovies.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0033cc;\">http:\/\/www.vintagesurfmovies.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><object width=\"480\" height=\"385\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/q3u1yRkQIfA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/q3u1yRkQIfA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stokednews.com\">www.stokednews.com<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<center>[ad#cor1]<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My younger brother and I were in this contest.
