Theorbo Thursday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
Our photo today is of one of a series of drawings that commemorates some of the early skaters in the So. Bay. This happens to be the Professor at Riviera School skating for Magic Arrow with Steve Takata, Glenn Hiramatsu and Fred Grabert. They had just put up barricades on the "Riviera Bowl" culvert on the south side of the school so they were exploring the other side of the campus. He's riding a Magic Arrow "Elf Shoe." It's an okay drawing, but we're wondering about the right great toe... It's like really great!
More than overcast, barging into cloudy as the morning progressed. 10 miles visibility and the wind was kicking up out of the SSW by 10.9kts, turning things to a pretty choppy mess. The air temp was 61.2°and the water was 62.2° at the buoy. Low tide was at 6:38am -0.2' and high tide followed at 1:32pm +3.5'. The buoy read a swell out of 230° at 3..3' and we were calling it 3' and a bit mushed out with the tide. We surfed Hermosa Pier and once again the wind kicked in early and blew things out of shape.
Tomorrow will be the last regular report for a week. We'll be trekking through Alaska looking for waves, Kodiak bears and northern lights. If the internet really works like they say, we'll try to send a few reports down from the land of the midnight sun.
"When the surf breaks, we'll fix it..."
The Professor!!
