You’ll find Paul Saccone on the beach or pier holding up his wands into the sea breeze.

There are several “bubble guys” in Ocean Beach and San Diego, but there’s only one, Paul Saccone, with a boomerang.

Just missed a car

You’ll often find him on the beach, or pier, holding up his giant soap-dipped wands into the sea breeze, creating big bubbles. Kids squeal as they chase them, tourists and locals gather to take pictures, and it’s really a beautiful thing … until the boomerang comes out.

Boomerang in Saccone's bucket. Lifeguards will ask him to take it somewhere less crowded.

“Isn’t it a bit crowded here for that?” I overheard a man say as Saccone’s boomerang unintentionally landed in the street.

Complaints are being posted on a private Facebook page stating that people left the beach because they were afraid of being hit by it.

“Hit me in the shin, and then almost hit a lady in the head. Get a clue, buddy,” said Matt on Facebook.

“The other day he completely broke a seagull's wing and walked away like it was no biggie,” wrote Jane on Facebook. “I had to put the seagull in a box and call Project Wildlife. Poor thing was bleeding and screaming.”

Saccone was happy to explain the incident: “I was throwing it [boomerang] like I do all the time, the bird came out of absolutely nowhere, I think it came from behind me to tell you the truth, and like as it came out of my hand I saw it and it hit the tip of its wing, and its wing fell, and it kinda fell, and then I was like aw nah — that’s the last thing I wanna do — anytime I see any birds coming I’ll always stop and wait for it to go by, always ... then it hobbled away and then some people went and made a phone call to whoever they needed to make a phone call to, to come get it, and then somebody came and got it and I hope they do something for it.”

Several lifeguards on duty said they haven’t seen him boomeranging but if they do, they will ask him to take it somewhere less crowded.

A representative from Project Wildlife was not able to confirm if this particular bird was rehabilitated or euthanized.
