Bomber Bill from up the hillThursday, August 20th, 2009 by MC |
Back in the day when we used to go down to Ol Mexico on a semi regular basis, “Bomber Bill from up the hill” was one of the underground chargers. Some time in spring, Bill would drive to Mex, and he’d stay till the southern hemis stopped coming in fall. A 5′8″ish goofy foot with giant hands and a penchant for massive beachbreaks and high grade reefer, Bill was a tile setter or carpenter in the States. In Puerto, he lived up in the hills and charged harder than everyone else when the surf got huge.
You can witness some of Bill’s antics in the original Puerto Underground.
Anyway.. the name of the new hurricane “Bill” reminded me of the old times in Mexico.
Here’s hoping all you SQUIDS get shit shacked like Bomber Bill Himself.
In NJ, look for surf from “Bill” to start filling in sometime Friday and escalating until Sunday when it may be difficult to find a spot that is rideable.
Be safe and charge hard.
