I worked at the pier through high school running rides etc. Myself,Paul Resnack(that Resnicks you refer to) and a handful of others were surfing it practically alone,Dora didn't show up until some time later.Never more that 6-8 friends as the crowd.This was'62-'73 before those z-boys took over.I was already gone to HI.by then.Also the north side held big southswells in the summer.
watch my video "Is John Severson my Father" part 1 and part 2 to see how I learned that my father might be one of the biggest names in surf media history and how he responded to my request for the truth
Serious legend video. That surf spot is gone. I have a friend who showed me spots I never surfed and couldn't believe it was good! 2nd st Hermosa and the Venice jetty area and POP had lefts that piped for two years back in 1995-1996! Now there's garbage ever since. And I thought it was like that all the time. Same with 30th street, it used to break like El Porto back in 1991-2 but had 1/10th the El Porto crowd.
he was (perelta) was contracted for a minute to do a doc on dora (they had a meeting or two)-it fell thru hey, by the way eat a dick man Whys everybody always trying to hate on the S.P

@TheGreatCorneliuski I remember going to POP as a kid in the late 50's before it burned down. I know right where that spot "Resnicks" was.

Yes, it's the same pier. Watch the Dogtown and Z Boys documentary to get the whole story about POP.
