Mike Curren left early on the morning of December 30 on what he promised to be “the ultimate road trip.” As per his usual, he left no hint of his route or destination or even how long he planned to be away. I’m guessing that he’ll be visiting long-time friends Ronnie “The Fox” LaPolice, Weasel, Bob Dawn, Von Ton the Atom Bomb, Pell Mell, and the Rag Man en route before meeting up with his parents and myriad other friends (whose names he could never remember but they always had a good time whenever they met). There might be a few casinos and racetracks to be visited before reaching the final destination which will probably be a broad beach where the Over-the-Line courts are already set up. The Good Lord knows that there will be drinking on that beach and the BCs will be iced and served without limes.

Mike was a proud child of Mission Beach, attending Mission Beach Elementary before moving on to Pacific Beach Junior High and La Jolla High School (Go Vikings!). His studies at San Diego State were interrupted by the Korean War although he was fortunate because of surveying training to spend his time in service mapping the Philippine Islands. Returning to San Diego, he was able to earn his degree in civil engineering although it took the assistance of a fellow bowler who happened to be the Dean of Admissions and Records at SDSU to get it posted.

Mission Beach was different then; it was a place where folks without a lot of money lived. During the Depression and war years, most parents were doing their darnedest to keep their families afloat and the kids were left to their own devices. Friendships and competitions abounded and were long-lived. Over-the-Line was just a game to be played between body surfing and volleyball. It was the interest in volleyball that prompted the establishment of the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club (so members could get into the better Southern California beach tournaments) but it was Over-the-Line that took hold as a tournament that welcomed players of all levels, genders, and abilities from around the world. It helped if the player or fan had an irreverent sense of humor.

Mike was proud of his association with OMBAC as a founding member and served in all club offices and roles from the presidency to the grunt work (which was frequently the same). He was recognized as the founder and chief promoter of the World Championship Over-the-Line Tournament which grew from eight teams to more than 1300. But he would be the first to tell you that he was only one member of OMBAC and there were many, many more who were not recognized but who contributed significantly to any and all of OMBAC’s sponsored events.

Mike was a licensed land surveyor who happily plied his trade for almost seven decades. The son of surveyors (his mother was the first female land surveyor licensed in California), he was an avid student of San Diego’s history and enjoyed being informed by the land and the people. He wasn’t quite so fond of the bureaucracy.
