David Matuszak has been surfing the waters of San Diego County for more than 40 years. One of his favorite spots is San Onofre State Beach on the northern tip of Camp Pendleton.
About eight years ago, he got the idea to write about the memories of his friend Wally Duesler, a pioneer surfer who first surfed San Onofre in 1937. He envisioned a 50- to 100-page booklet. But before he even began his research, Duesler told his surfing buddies about the idea and they wanted to share their memories, too.
“From there the project became a runaway train. What I thought would be a six-month project became an eight-year odyssey and labor of love,” Matuszak said.
