Eddie
James
Anyone
that's familiar with surfing the Santa Monica Bay
and the point breaks further North has probably
crossed paths with Eddie James, this months Snake
of the Month. If you saw him sporting a cowboy hat,
you might confuse him for a descendant of Jesse
James......... |

Steven Gwin
The bible is filled with all sorts of references
to serpents, snakes and creatures of lowly regard.
This month's snake is of particular interest in
that he is regarded as a holy roller and appears
to be quite devout in his faith...... |

Cam Nesline
A lot of innuendos could have been used to write
this story and those of you who know our latest
snake would have to agree that burn and cut take
on dual meanings with him as well as his equally
heinous snake brother Johnnie. Only by a coin toss
did we choose Cam........ |

Greg
May
Greg Kealohaokauahi Napoleon May- His roots stem
from Hawaii and Ireland so through genetic affiliation
you would naturally assume he is a surfer and a
boozer. The truth be told he's never touched a drop
of liquor in his life and just began surfing regularly
last year at the age of 38........

Osama Bin Laden |
Osama Bin Laden was the favorite to win the snake
of year and we felt obligated to create the scenario
we would like to eventually see played out. Snakes
hide under rocks, in caves, are usually territorial,
and more often than not they catch you offguard
when they attack........

Johnny Nesline
His name is Jonathan Nesline but he's better known
by his contemporaries as"Nessie". After
watching his antics over the past decade I've noticed
some striking similarities between him and the ever
elusive "Loch Ness" monster (coincidentally
nicknamed Nessie)........

Richard Berentsen
We were on the fence about this months “Snake
of the Month”. The question posed by the staff
was whether Richard is a true snake , or a 911 phone
call waiting to happen. You see Richard is a gregarious,
talkative, friendly (almost too friendly) guy that
definitely makes his presence known in the line-up........

Chris Mukai
Like the red tide or surf contest, this month's
snake of the month is never a welcome site at Porto,
but after a while you learn to deal with it or work
around it. Fact: Chris Mukai is the laziest guy
in the world. He is as slow as molasses and no one
would ever confuse him with a Ph.D........ |

Dan Stoller
This months snake of the month is unique in the
fact he doesn't hail from Southern CA, in fact he
was raised about as far away from the water as you
can get-Nebraska, where watching corn grow is a
popular pastime. Although Dan enjoys surfing Porto
as much as anyone he is relegated to weekends so
that he can tend to his Monday thru Friday 8-5 job........

Mike "Sippy" Siprut
El Porto - 7:10 a.m. September 23, 2000. You could
hear the screaming from a hundred and fifty yards
away. I heard screams like that once when I was
a kid – some guy across the street was beating
the shit out of his wife. I was unfolding my paper
and taking a sip off my coffee when I saw these
waves stacking up on the horizon........
