Endless Session, Day 251: El Salvador and Whitewater Fireworks
By Morgan Sliff The crash of big plane wheels hitting the tarmac made reality finally hit the group of tired surfers — the blonde bombshell Taylor Stone, her boyfriend, South Bay longboarder Kris Hall, Taylor’s mom and photographer Pegi Stone, and me.

Selfish views of a noisy few Dear ER: CenterCal’s Redondo Beach Waterfront project has been blatantly attacked by a very small group of boisterous people within our community. I cannot help but think that the opposition’s views are less about the project and more about egos, pride and frankly, small-mindedness. As someone who has seen […]
