Walking into the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano on Saturday night it was as if I had been teleported back to 1969. Incense and the piercing ping of psychedelic guitar riffs mingling in the airwaves, bearded long-hairs and cute hippy chicks shimmying together, David Nuuhiwa and Herbie Fletcher sharing a laugh and a cold beer, and an eclectic collection of single-fins stashed in a corner bearing silent witness to all the subsequent mayhem (that would later be auctioned off to help local boy Kevin Krushinsky who's on the mend after a serious spinal cord injury). The only real discernable difference was that, whereas the ’60s had Ken Kesey and the Grateful Dead to stir the pot, this time Eric Diamond was behind the wheel of the magic school bus steering through yet another wildly successful Cosmic Creek Challenge.
