Trombone Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

It's always a little sketchy when all those fish just keep swimming toward you and suddenly your in the middle of the school.  Holy mackerel!  How can the shark tell you from the fish?  Simple answer:  He can't!

Dammit, it's cold out there this morning!  Overcast skies with 7 miles visibility.  Winds are persistent out of the south by 5.2kts and the sea surface was smooth at checkout time.  The air temperature is 56.3° and the water is 57.2°.  High tide is at 9:26am +4.4' and low tide will be at 2:51pm +0.9'.  The buoy is reading a SW swell out of 220° at 2.6'.  Because of the high tide we're calling it 1' to 2' and poor.

Write this down:
Zoë Maggio wants you to know...
A group made up of business professionals in the South Bay called Networking Matters is putting on a Cinco de Mayo networking event, Wednesday, May 5th from 6 to 8:30 pm. at the new Miyako Hybrid Hotel and Gonpachi Restaurant across the street from PTN.  It should be a fun event and features "sake-ritas", "California taco rolls" and other hybrid creations. The hotel is fabulous! You will feel like you have stepped into another world.
All proceeds from the event will benefit Pediatric Therapy Network and Peninsula Seniors. Funds raised for PTN will go to Camp Escapades scholarships and the Eric de Bahia Scholarship Fund!
The new Miyako Hybrid Hotel and Gonpachi Restaurant is located on the corner of Western and 213th Street, 21381 S. Western Ave , Torrance, 90501
(Face it, your network has a few holes in it, time to get fabulous and go to a hybrid-hotel...  Ed.)

Hello All,
We are looking for a condo or small two bedroom place to stay in Oahu.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

While Paver was out hugging it up with the pink and green dancers, this homeless guy was hanging with Diane Cole, LoLa and Danger Girl.  Wait... is that the Professor?  Lookin' a bit sunshot...  maybe more emollients might take the edge off of that George Hamilton tan.  You might remember in the West Coast Tanning Championships in 1974, he finished second ahead of Hamilton's 3rd and Barbara "Barboon" Keesling's 4th (Barboon, over-did it and peeled three weeks before the finals.  She made a valiant effort, but remained a bit spotty at the end.)  Who won?  The Spaniard, Sabado Domingo from the Canary Islands.

Remember, today will be the last regular report for about a week.  We're going to be hitting the reef outside of Akumal on the Yucatan peninsula for some archeological exploration.  Where did all those Mayans go?  Word has it they went on vacation just after the Spaniards showed up and never came back...

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
