Love Ponto! I moved to Leucadia as a teen from Florida with best friend in 1977. We had started yoga at 16/17 (us two High School boys were the only males in yoga classes back then) and we were headed for Encinitas to be near Yogananda's Temples as we belonged to SRF as kids too. Our first home for a few months was right on hwy 101 near the 7-11 near Ponto. I played music full time so I had my days free....surfed many mornings by myself at Ponto right in front of where you are standing.....and most times with just a few friends. It's nice there to go out to the ends of the two rock jetties. I moved to Oregon to help build a multi-home spiritual retreat community in 1979 but recently returned here (just in time for Covid-19!) and aside from more people it is still a great place to be. Blessed New Year in 2025!
@@gabrieln3613 thank you for sharing your incredible journey! You were part of the foundation that made that whole area. So beautiful and spiritual. I hope you're glad you came back! It's sad to see how much development has happened, but one of the things I really appreciated on my walk that morning was seeing how much community there still is. People hanging out at the coffee shops and talking and walking their dogs. It'll be forever favor a spiritual place. Even with roads and apartments everywhere.
