First Monday of the Year Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
"When boards were wood and men were iron." Okay, maybe they're just full of iron. You know how those One-a-Day's can make you spit nails. Here we have surfer/craftsman/shaper/woodworker Joe Lopez, with the Professor, sporting some serious wood. Joe was over taking some measurements as he put the finishing touches on this 12' redwood reproduction. Unlike the Professor's stick, which sports those light balsa inserts, Joe's is solid redwood and weighs in at a cool 100lbs. We'll let you know when he's going to take it out, so you can get out of the way!
A gorgeous morning with some high clouds and 22 miles visibility. Winds were offshore by 5.6kts and the sea surface was smooth. The air temperature was 50.4° and the water was 59.2° and felt at least that cold. High tide is at 11:15am +5.5' and low tide will be at 6:06pm -0.5'. We have a slightly diminishing swell from the west (265°) at 2.6'. We hit Hermosa mid-tide and scored some 3-footers. They were fast, but we managed to get to the corners on a couple of slick ones.
Our second shot is of Brian at Buck Head, Utah. Wait, uhh, that's Buck at Brian Head. Yeah, we're sure it's Utah...
"When the surf breaks, we'll fix it..."
The Professor!!
