Hello to everyone @ Swami’s. Have a Happy Christmas & Merry New Year. Our weather is what
San Diego is all about this time of year, pretty unreal. Where else could you have, a dry cold Santa Ana, glassy conditions
and great little waves for almost a month, nowhere else, except here. Well that’s what it’s like in the city of
the Poinsettias during Christmas time. For those who didn’t make it to the Christmas party what a great evening they
missed. Food with friends and a good time. The band (Coastal Eddy) was excellent. It was a real treat with Mark
Adams on the harmonica and Coastal Eddy clearing the fog. Mike Emerson and Bruce St Jean were killing it on the dance floor.
I would like to thank Roger and Jody Collins, Bruce and Sharon St Jean and Marcello and Dawn for making the Party a great
success, it wouldn’t have happened without them.
The Wind and Sea Surf Event at La
Jolla Shores was just about perfect. The waves were waist to shoulder high with real good form, kind of glassy all day,
with a slight wind. Mike Emerson took 1st in men’s and Jim Phillips got 3rd in the Legends. Swamis took 6th over
all. I got to enjoy the event with the RQR’s on the judges stand both days and had a great time. The food was
really good and I had the best hamburger I have ever had at Hennessey’s in La Jolla. Thank you W&S for the great
time and fun.
The next Coalition Surf Event will be The Doheny (DLSA) Gathering of the Tribes at
Churches in San-O- January 7-8. If anyone is interested in surfing the event please contact myself @ 760-945-8234 or

One last thing-The Polar Surf @ Swamis 7-8:00am
January 1st starts out the New Year right. This is a good chance to Polarize your Surfing. I would like to thank the
whole Swamis Board and Eric Klockenteger, Sean Tully, Ben Pratt, and others for such a great year. Thank You All Very Much!
