Seaside, NJ 1966 video
Sak sent me this and I had to post this. Even has a small open right hander at 1 minute and 42 seconds.
I guess back then they didn't allow surfing between the hours of 9:30am to 6:00pm either.
Brings me back.

Hello Everyone,
John here again, Allan's friend and web guy.
First off, I want to thank all of you who posted well-wishes for Allan last week. You really blew his mind, and I think the positive messages you sent his way are really helping his recovery.
Yes, that's right: I said recovery. I just spoke with Allan a few minutes ago, and he is home from the hospital, healing from a 2-week ordeal that came very, very close to claiming his life. He asked me to update you all with this information, and said he would be in touch with all the gory details as soon as he's able to write. Right now he's very weak and still a bit addled by the pain meds they've had him on, so he's unable to really focus enough to write a full update for you. So I'll give you the basics, as per his request:
Allan was rushed to the ER in Southhampton early on July 2nd, where he underwent immediate emergency surgery for a perforated ulcer. The perforated ulcer had caused severe infected Peritonitis, a life-threatening condition caused by the leaking of stomach contents into the abdominal cavity. Peritonitis brings with it a slew of other problems if left to go too long -- if you want to look into it, check out the Wikipedia page on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peritonitis. It appears that Allan may have been experiencing symptoms for quite some time, blaming his Lyme disease instead, so the condition was very serious because it had gone untreated for far too long.
Then he caught Pneumonia in the hospital. To fight the pneumonia, the doctors basically induced a coma by sedating him and intubating him (breathing tube, not the kind of tube he's used to). He was unconscious for several days.
He beat the odds, so far. According to Wikipedia:
If properly treated, typical cases of surgically correctable peritonitis (e.g. perforated peptic ulcer, appendicitis, and diverticulitis) have a mortality rate of about <10% href="http://www.banditobooks.com/guestbook.php">www.banditobooks.com/guestbook.php .
Thanks again to all of you for your concern and support.

Hello Everyone,
John here, Allan's friend and web guy. Many of you may be wondering why Allan has not responded to inquiries and feedback related to his last DSP about his return to Costa Rica. The fact is, Allan is seriously ill and has not been able to check email.
Friends have asked that I keep the details of his illness private for now, so I'm going to respect their wishes and say only the following: He is seeking treatment and his condition is treatable (as in curable) if things go well in the next few days; though, as I write this, he is fighting for his life.
I have set up a message board/guestbook for those of you who would like to show your love and support for Allan. Please take a moment to sign it and send some positive thoughts his way. Your support has always been extremely important to him... now more than ever.
The message board is at www.banditobooks.com/guestbook.php
Thanks,
John BenedettiBandito Books
