Fat Tony's Basement

Crucial mysto sesh this morn w/only four others out spread across a couple beaches. One of them being Martin the Militant One whose wife gave birth two days prior (Congrats!) and homeboy was already out shredding as a proud father of three. Seems the family men (and FM) get the best waves around here, modems still don't surf...



The night before Frank Mezzogiorno lost his virginity at Patsy's Uptown (there's only one Patsy's and it's on 1st Ave between 117th and 118th), where slices are $1.75 and pies still $11. Note to Mr. Demarco...




FYI: Sorrento's of Long Beach (kitty-corner from the Laurel) is making ill Neapolitan pies, just ask Franco. He took the pic and is half Neapolitan...

Nobody Surfs More Than Franco

Sometimes it's so easy to run the hampster wheel regarding dims, fins, split toes or round, lobsters or mitts, poly or epoxy, keel, quad, single, bonzer or thruster, Parrish or Brewer, Drylock, Bohemia or R4 to a point where this becomes more convenient/enjoyable than actually paddling out and riding a wave. Here, Francois Michel Bourgeois momentarily off the wheel and saggin up afternoon leisure with what looks to be his widow/drama-maker and 'nobody out?!?!?' A term ex-specially relative to this locale, one of the more populated yet grinding jetties in North America where secretly we know Keone was in the water sharing the kine of aloha that comes with the name.
