July 4th in Ocean Beach has the traditional fireworks show and the traditional "Paddle-Out" for surfers who paddle their surfboards to the end of the Ocean Beach Pier to be directly under the fireworks. Every year about 200 surfers enjoy the fireworks this way.

4 JR and Woody 5L11.jpg (33389 bytes)

J.R. Showed up driving his '49 Ford Woody. Five years ago this car was serving as a chicken-coop in Morro Bay, California. It's now "cherried-out" with an ultra-hot 302-engine. This is the kind of car the Beach Boy used to write songs about. This man is a real surfer with a real surfer's car.

Of course July 4th in Ocean Beach would not be complet without it's traditional yet un-official bike parade.
