    "The Surfing Program began at "Aviation High School in Redondo Beach", California, 90278. The surf team at Aviation High School , which took the championship in 1982, against Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach, California , 90266. We know Oliver Theess was on the championship Team. The surf was about 4 to 5 foot in Manhattan Beach. This created the program which in the South Bay schools started even way before that time. It just was reinstated. " For the KOOKS that didn't know" No Bozos."

    "This sucks... I surf everyday in either Venice, Malibu or Huntington and this scares me and the rest of my surfing brethren. Theres been 2 attacks in less than 10 days in Socal. Im not saying we should kill sharks but we should do something to protect our fellow man.

    Moms would be pissed if she got a call about me getting attacked by a shark."

  • Former quarterback tosses paper airplane a record 226 feet, 10 inches

    Airplanes are kept in hangars and flown outdoors, but Joe Ayoob on Sunday set a potential world distance record with a flight that never left its hangar at McClellan Air Force Base in Northern California. Ayoob, a former college quarterback, tossed a paper airplane that soared a remarkable 226 feet, 10 inches (see video). If verified by Guinness World Records, the toss will shatter the existing indoor record of 207 feet, 4 inches, set by Stephen Kreiger in 2003. (The event was staged to conform with Guinness rules, and Kreiger was on hand as a judge). Ayoob, who was a star at the University of California at Berkeley, was quick to credit John Collins, who designed the aircraft. Apparently for some, this is much more than a hobby.

    lollol... "and the crowd goes wild!!!" the way they reacted, u would think that he just made a game-winning shot, or more fitting, threw a hail mary that was caught for a touchdown.

    i use to make that kind of airplane when i was in elementary school, but many kids think it cant fly far. I had made mine stay up in the air for less than a minute with a slight wind and every kid who saw it was WOW, but has no video proof, i was a kid and it was recess, cell phone back then was still analog. The kid went and told the principle and I thought I was in trouble cause I lost my paper airplane, but the principle wanted me to make one and put it in the fame class window.

    Yahoo posted that this is no longer available. I get this message for half of the stuff on Yahoo. It is disappointing to look forward to a video, and then be refused by Yahoo, Boo Yahoo...
