This was our beach in the 1971 era. It was literally our beach in the winter. Typically, no one but surfers went out there. Want to take your dog to the beach? No problem. Want to jump off the pier? No problem. Want to park at an empty beach house? No problem (most of the time).
Check out the lack of tall buildings and people, the car on the pier. How about that early model twin fin – probably a Blue Cheer, with the the fins so far back and the chopped off tail.
Yancy 3 had a dog named Blackie. I wonder if that’s him?
