Thrombolytic Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

You know how stoked you get when you arrive to get that custom blade shaped.  Here we have Andrew Staich and José, discussing some fine tuning on an older prototype.  We'll see if we can't get a shot of the shaped blank as it goes to Dave in airbrushing.  Andrew says he wants his equipment to be memorable...  Gotta like that!

A beautiful spring morning with 12 miles visibility, under a hazy sun.  Winds were calm and the sea has a slight tack on a smooth background.  The air temp was 51.4° and the water is up another degree to 59.5°.  High tide is at 10:51am +3.8' and low tide will follow at 3:58pm +1.5'.  The buoy is reading a SW swell out of 225° at 3.0'.  The surf is right there at 3' and there were some good ones if you were patient and picky.

Here we have the remainder of the Redondo High Men's Volleyball Schedule.  Duncan Avery, Knob Hill local and Pineapple Paul's son-in-law is their coach and doing a rather good job!  Support your local prep athletes, it's surprising how many of them go on to college and Olympic fame...

Lost Boys & Co... P rofessor, This is a shot taken last week at a secret spot that is less than 30 miles away from you guys. Any guesses?  My buddy Dave sent it from Salta Verde Point on the backside of Catalina. Only accessible by boat or if you know someone with the key. Tip: The guy in the pic is the guy with the key! Sea Wolf... S o, apparently if you decide to leave Avalon and head to the backside you might score on a south swell.  For some reason this place looks like there might be some rocks on the inside.  No indications of that other than the boils following the guy with the key... C loudless skies this morning with 20+miles visibility.  Winds were off to 2.2kts and the sea surface had a residual bump that held all day.  The air temperature was 79.3˚ and the water was 66.4˚, apparently affected by the wind and upwelling.  High tide was at 6:55am +3.9' and low tide will be at 11:46am +2.8' for a little less than a foot differential.  There's a SW swell out of

Lost Boys & Co... S ancho, on this morning's Sruf Familia thread said it best, "Somber rainy day for Jimmy."  J immy Buffett died Friday, September 1.  He was 76 years old and had recently been struggling with health issues.  A Lost Boy of the first order his music was the sound-track for our lives. B ut he might have said it best: "But there's one particular harbor/ So far yet so near/ Where I see the days as they fade away/ And finally disappear." S ail on Jimmy Buffett and we hope on the corner of that one particular harbor there's a wave that you can surf through eternity.  Aloha Jimmy... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... W ho's behind those Foster-Grants?  Well, we'll bet that he's NEVER worn a pair of F-G's.  Are those Oliver People's?  Cartier's, Garrett Leight's?  We'll say Tom Ford's and he should be their poster boy.  Yep, it's Jetski in the arena at the US Open.  Looking rather trim in his court-side togs, we're waiting for his description of the action... W e continue our assault on some of the smallest waves ever ridden!  We'll have to check the Guinness book, but we think we're on to something.  So it was ten miles visibility under partly cloudy skies and winds were offshore by 5 to 7kts.  The3 air temp was 63.9º and the water was 70.7º at the ever popular #46221 Santa Monica Buoy.  High tide was at 11:01am +5.5' and low tide follows at 4:52pm +0.7'.  It turns out we observed that low tide and even with the afternoon south wind howling around 10kts, Sapphire still looked fairly smooth.  We had a south swell out o
