THE LEGEND
every beach has a guy. in pacific beach the guy is TIMMY SHOREPOUNDER.back in the mid 90s Timmy’s career was going OFF. sponsor stickers on the nose of his board. pics in the magazines. he was on the pro tour flying all over the world doing ARS's and el rollos in front of judges with clipboards. people said he had the best invert in all of SoCal. people also said he never smiled 4 the cameras. both things were true. then in the winter of 97, in the middle of a final, timmy caught 1 last wave all the way 2 the sand, peeled the stickers off his board, left his contest jersey on the beach, and drove home to PB. he never surfed another heat. EVER. he has surfed pretty much every day since. not 4 points. not 4 pics. 4 himself. the ocean scores what you feel." -T.S. THE JARS
ok heres the part nobody believes. at the end of EVERY session, before he paddles in, timmy dunks a glass mason jar in the water right where he caught his last wave. lid on tight. he writes the session #, the date and the spot on a piece of masking tape. never the conditions. "the jar knows." then he takes it home and puts it on a shelf with all the others. he has a jar from every session since 1989. THOUSANDS of them. the garage is full. so is the hallway. AND HERES THE THING: timmy can open any jar, take 1 smell and 1 small sip, and remember everything about that session. swell direction. wind. water temp. every wave he caught and every wave he blew. who was out. who dropped in on him. what he ate after. locals have tested him. nobody has EVER caught him wrong.  >> CLICK HERE 2 SEE THE JAR ARCHIVE << THE INTERVIEW we found timmy on the sand by crystal pier wringing out his fins. he gave us 10 minutes. he used about 4.
