I had posted this in another thread asking for Dr Z and Sabus help, and Hakalugi directed me to this thread.(Thanks Hak!) and after reading this thread, I guess I'll be the one shedding a little bit of light here....

Redondo Beach Dive n' Surf has offices located in an old A-Frame structure, 500-600 block of N. Catalina...It was formally a bar for many years...I called Dive n Surf to get details, but the details were vague and the only name that was given to me, was "The Flying Jib". That was the name of the former bar prior to Dive n Surf taking over the defunct bar. But, I'm wondering if it carried another name prior to "The Flying Jib"?...I'm told that it might have been called the "Sugar Shack" at one point, and that bands like Jan and Dean among other top surf bands used to perform there regularly. It was also told to me that it was polynesian/surf themed, and ALWAYS packed. Any more ideas?
