We will be there again, maybe with a few friends.
I need to defend my best tiki title. Maybe this year, instead of a Duraflame, I will carve a propane tank.

So it will be International Tiki Day at Tin Can Beach!

(And how many of you out there are old enough to know what Tin Can Beach was without looking it up)

I was just a baby at the time, But I am pretty sure this was also called Hobo Beach
at one time.

It was called Tin Can Beach, I remembered driving by it many times when a student at LBSC home of the 49er's

Cool story, classic early Californiana. Sounds like a whole Eli Hedley village...well not quite on his level, but still an example how easy outdoor beach living was.

It's also "String Ray Beach". Be sure to shuffle your feet like mad while walking in the water. When they re-opened the Wet Lands to the ocean it became a breeding ground for them. Very painful!!! Ask Lake Surfer, he got nailed by one on a recent trip. Unfortunately the Boo's won't be able to come this year due to a body surfing contest down south. Y'all have fun without us now!!!

Only 9 More Days......WooHooooo! :)

I didn't know about the free light show, but I know that Don the Beachcomber is just down the street!!! Their Late Night Happy Hour may be a good way to wash the sand out!!!

In 2008, Tiki-Bong passed The International Tiki Day Beach Burn Tiki Torch to SoccerTiki and I. For the past 5 years we've kept the torch burning thanks to all of you who came and made this event happen. It is now time to pass the torch on....... If you are interested in being the next carrier of the torch contact us for details. Mahalo! Woohoowahine & SoccerTiki
