Annapolis Surf Club
"The Wipe-Out Members"

The "Wipe-Out Chapter" of the ASC consists of those who have deserted the
fine Western Shores of the Chesapeake for waters elsewhere.
Alex Rodgers
Bodyboarder - Wilmington, NC, formerly of Arbutus, MD

My dad turned me on to wave riding. I started on a Morey Boogie Mach 7+7 that my dad won in an ESA contest. I used to skim board but now just stick to bodyboarding.  Started in Cape Hatteras and Ocean City but my favorite spots now are in Puerto Rico.

Brian "Grumbling Snowman" Gable
Shortboarder - Orange County, CA, formerly of Washington, D.C.
Moved Spring 2004.

Born and raised in San Diego, CA.  Dad taught me how to surf at around age 8. I surfed all the way through High School until I left for school at JMU in Harrisonburg, VA.  I would return home often and surf breaks like Black's Beach and the reefs in Point Loma during Summer, Xmas, and Spring breaks.  After college, I moved to DC, and after buying a board out here, began surfing Ocean City, MD, Assateague, and Hatteras on a regular basis. Basically, when the waves are up, and the winds are right, I am going no matter what.

I am trying to find a way to get some folks together to go exploring some of the barrier islands off Chincoteague for a little surf adventure! Anybody got a boat?

Just got some new rubber, and am pumped for some cold water surfing!

Chris "The Negotiator" Peterson
Longboarder - Central Florida East Coast, formerly of Lutherville, MD
Moved June 2004.

Surf History: Chris and Neal Carver go way back as kids growing up in Calvert County. "He was with with me on many of the surf adventures I took in the VW camper. He was one of the guys that was with me during that trek to the "Wedge" many moons ago.  Chris and I didn't know it even had a name back then."

Francisco Calderon
Shortboarder - Denver, CO, formerly of Crofton, MD
Moved June 2004.

Started surfing as a 12 year old in PR. Surfed intensively until 25, shaped boards to support my traveling. Moved to Michigan a few years to work on my PhD, lack of surfing during that period left me with an urge to surf that I will never be able to get rid of. Lived several years in Northern CA, and rode Santa Cruz often. I now work as a scientist for the USDA in Beltsville, Md. I like to travel and have ridden Costa Rica many times, the Canary Islands, Hawaii, France, Brazil as well as several other places. I like Asseateague locally and Hatteras. My best surf ever has been in Roca Bruja CR, Pavones CR, Las Palmeras in the Canary Islands, and Wildo PR. I also enjoy windsurfing, skiing, cooking, scuba, homebrewing, reading.

Robb "The Muffin" Smith
Shortboarder - Annapolis, MD
ASC Surf Boat Captain

Muffin moved back to Tampa, FL during the winter of 2002-03.  He just didn't want to stay for our record breaking snow.

Rod's Note to the ASC Listserv:

<>This really isn't what I had in mind for reactivating the GuidoPalooza
<>listserv in 2003 :(  Sorry to hear Mr. Muffin is leaving us, we being the
<>GP but also the Annapolis Surf Club... very saddening... to lose such a
font of fun... after all, this is the fella that was awarded 2002's Panama
Monkey Trophy (awarded to the GuidoPaloozer who most embodies the

<>PanamASolas spirit of fun and challenge as the biggest party animal, as symbolized by the memorable imbibing of rum and warm strawberry soda. 

There's also a special story that goes with this pic.

The boy simply ripped on my Hot Curl: Pic #1 and Pic #2.

And who can forget the Budweiser Cooler in the Line-Up at GP:

Aloha my good friend!

Is he a muffin or what???
