Synopsis

When people refer to their childhood, they often say it was a simpler time. When I think of being a teenager raised on the shores of Southern California, I know that is untrue. Without cell phones or the Internet we had more time to get out into the real world with each other and tangle up our lives in alcohol, drugs and too much sun. We made our own families from our group of friends. We had our own pecking order that was established on looks, popularity, surf skills, musical talent—and raw aggression toward anyone attempting to displace us from our thrones within our rightful territory. This was our home: the beach breaks, the bonfires we hid from cops, the dirty music venues and the spontaneous house parties. Our erupting hormones urged us into careless choices, unleashing both our angst and devotion. We were a lost tribe defining ourselves by the other lost tribes up and down the coast, but we didn’t know we were lost. Only looking back at what became of our “brothers” and “sisters” is it apparent that many of them never really did grow up. Some we lost to drugs and alcohol, others remained stuck in the rage of puberty long past an excusable age. This was Oxnard in the 1980s. This was our heaven on earth. The following accounts will take you inside that circle of surfers, skaters and punk rockers at Silver Strand, Oxnard Shores, Hollywood Beach and Hueneme Beach.
