Okay, I'm a copycat. I even think I took the pic right after you...with you in the picture?

Pssst, it's for the bezel police.

Got to spend a couple hours there on Saturday, met a few people, and wandered around.

Cruisers everywhere.

How is everyone cleaning their rigs of all the sand? I did a spray down with the garden hpose and it didn't do much. Any good ideas?

You might need to go a bit more more high pressure but not so much you do any damage. You could also go to the car wash and try the foamy brush if your paint is a bit older if it's newer stick to a hand wash. Normal car wash solution should work fine after the rinse and will neutralize any remaining salt.

I place a sprinkler head under the rig and run it for several minutes to rinse off the underside of the rig too. Move it around several times to get everything.

Sorry for the hijack guys.

That is our customer. I guess the warrantee just ran out on all the work we did on that truck That thing weighs like 7500 lbs with all the stuff on it. I guess the turbo works pretty good

So, I am still getting sand out of my boots, clothes, teeth, and everywhere!

Once again, a HUGE thank you to Jim and Katherine for putting on another fabulous Surf N Turf! And thanks Jim for calling up like, the best beach weather you could have!

I love the feeling of this "tribal" gathering at the beach--getting to visit, eat lots of food and meet old friends and meet new friends. The fun just keeps getting better and better

Looking forward to the next one!

Vacuumed when I got home to remove 2lbs of sand and hosed down the exterior to get the 'salty air' and blasted sand mostly off. Will wash her someday...

It was cool meeting you Brent

I did the same thing, hosed off the rig on Monday and tried to get some sand out of the interior. I think I will hand wash it this weekend.

Big Props to Locals Miles and Jo. And Also to my bud Matt who hooked us up with the locals, and let us use his rig for driving around in.

First ride out Both DomSmith and I busted our rigs. I found out
that I really did not have the clearance needed between my water pump pulley and my electric fan. Dom, well, I'll let him tell ya all, but he required parts too.

We went to local junkyards, Friday night and Saturday Morning. Came back empty handed. On our return from Saturday Morning, I had a message on my phone that Miles and Jo had sourced out our parts. They brought me what I needed, and Dom had to travel out to SLO area to get his. We got our stuff at rock bottom prices when we could of been raked over the coals.

I made the poker run, and Dom was ready for Saturday nights adventures. Most importantly we were able to drive back home under our own power.

Thanks Guys.

not a problem, always happy to help a fellow cruiserhead. this is the first surf'n'turf ive ever been to where i drove my cruiser around and helped people instead of fixing it. i also drove home un afraid which is a new feeling for me hahaha.

You too Nat. That's part of the fun of SnT is getting to meet 'people you've come to know' here.

I missed meeting Woody - he must've gone thru the other line at checkpoint 1 on the poker run.

We've got to work on getting Cdan out here someday for this now! We had the pleasure of Beno's company. American Toyota sticker will be going on cruiser once she's clean! Thanks Beno!!

Surf N Turf 2008

My fifth year in a row visiting Pismo Beach, I’m so lucky to able to wheel as much as I do… even with my truck down for a few months…thanks Beno for your words, but you know that Joe was the real brain behind it…
For the first time ever, I was not camping with 80’s NorCal group, neither SoCal groups. The reason for that is that I brought new faces/rigs to the event, so I was taking care of them instead of sharing time with my old friends. I wanted to be sure that the newbies engaged with the event.
We arrived on Friday just in time (late) for the Sand Chef competition. We had a blast there, cooking, laughing, eating, chatting, all that stuff that is a unique characteristic of the 80’s NorCal guys, because they are not a club, as they said.
The secret ingredient was Chocolate, so we split our tasks and each one of us cooked the best we could.
• Roberto Alves cooked some bananas with white cheese (queso fresco) and chocolate.
• Pepe was in charge of the shredded beef with Chocolate Mole sauce.
• I did an experimental dish. I cooked biscuits dough at camp’s fire. I managed to wrap the dough around a stick, and use the fire’s camp to cook it. The result was some kind of shell, covered with some butter and sugar and then I filled with Nutella. I was expecting some point for originality, but our presentation sucks compared to the winner team. Their work was out of this world, in terms of camping. Kudos to the Gallivanting Gourmands team.
On Saturday, we had arepas filled with shredded beef as breakfast, meanwhile, the five miles run was taking place at the beach. Carol and Noah joined the group but I’m not a running person at all, so we stay chatting at camp. Last night, we realized that Pepe and I were neighbors in a village (Corralito, Los Teques, Venezuela ) with no more than 20 houses. That happens 30 years ago, when he moves to the States and I lost contact with him, so we had a lot to catch up.
We decided to do a pre run over the dunes; we got our poker run cards and have some fun while waiting the starting time. Doing that, we damaged the Tundra’s front DS shock absorber. We returned to camp, removed the broken piece and drove to town looking for a spare. We found a shop that took care of our problem. We knocked several doors before getting with that place. We missed the poker run, that’s a bummer.
When we returned to camp, the perfect weather changed a little bit. It was really windy, people doing kite surfing were having a blast, but people with tents, well, not so fun for them. We focus on getting the truck running again and keeping our stuff in place. There is no way that we can cook under those conditions, so we had sandwich for dinner that night. We also had some delicious pork, courtesy of the 80’s NorCal crew.
The wind blows all night long, and the next morning was windy as well. We packed all our stuff, drove over the dunes one more time and stopped at main camp to say “Nos vemos pronto”. We had brunch at a local place in Pismo and drove to OC without any issues.

Thanks Jim, and all SNT people...

Roberto L. Miranda.

I use the sprinklers too. Only I park over one of them in the middle of my lawn and turn them all on. Rinses underside and most of outside. But first rinse with a hose from the top down to get that sand off.
