I believe it was the first one built in Florida and one of the first in the country. This picture is an overview. On the left was a high takeoff point and you dropped into the bowl and then snaked your way back on the smaller banks. On the right is the freestyle area. No pro shop, no place to sit and no rules. Nothing but a fence with a guy at the gate taking money

To stay on topic I found a few old pics to check out. First one was taken in 1984 underneath the Huntington Beach pier as some guys put on their own little exhibition during the OP Pro surf contest. The second pic was taken in Cocoa beach but I can't put a date on it.
