Thursday, March 10, 1983: Two boats roll over trying to avoid surfers. Harbormaster Lee Davis says "the entrance waters between the jetties is federal property and there's to be absolutely no surfing in the harbor area."
One surfer's response was "maybe it's illegal, but it's also pretty stupid to build a harbor that has surfable waves across the channel."
Commentary: Photos show surfers now doing modern maneuvers. One surfer is shown going vertically up the wall, the tail clear up even with the lip.
