Get Off the Throne Thursday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
Our first shot this morning was taken by Lethal Keithal in the snow at Red Square. He said that it was still -22° and that his camera would barely open up to take the picture. He was fascinated by the cobblestones paving the square. They were worn almost perfectly flat from the years of marching and foot traffic. He said it looked like they had been waxed and polished!
Thousands of miles away in California, we're having a beautiful morning. Visibility is 25 miles across the bay and beyond and the skies are clear. Winds are offshore by 3.9kts and the sea surface is glassy. The air temp is 55.4° and the water is 59.0°. Low tide is at 9:38am +1.2' and high tide follows at 3:15pm +3.1'. The buoy is reading a 2.3' swell out of 249° WSW and we're calling it 2' and poor. Wetsand tells us that the swell should be building and by the weekend we're supposed to have some rideable waves. Not only that, but by the 13th it's supposed to actually have some size!
We walked the checkout with Birdie this morning and had a great time discussing medical problems, dogs on the Esplanade and old time Redondo personalities. We have come to the conclusion that if the Coach doesn't know them and the Professor doesn't know them, Birdie does!
Our second pic is also from Lethal Keithal's Russia scrapbook. This is the Kremlin. We asked if he got to take the tour. He said, "What tour? This isn't like the White House! They've got the placed ringed with these ominous looking guards with heavy coats that no doubt have heavy artillery secreted beneath them." Okay, we'll just go across the street to Starbucks!
"When the surf breaks, We'll fix it..."
The Professor!!
