Kafkaesque Friday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
As we traversed the backwoods of Idaho, we stumbled upon this one-holer knee deep in brambles. We knocked and no one was home. The Portagee family that lived in the basement was on vacation in Hanford. Meanwhile at elevation the Professor, stumbled across what appeared to be a perfect Christmas tree just ripe for the cutting. A few swings later and he was ready to haul it down the hill - except the folks who lived in the shack returned and were a bit perturbed by the removal of their nascent shade tree. Do you know how much those fresh trees cost?
A balmy Friday morning here in the frozen south. The sun blipped up first thing in the morning just like in the movies and we had 15 miles visibility, through the as per usual haze. Winds were calm and the sea was glassy. Some distant whale action, except anywhere where Danger Boy was looking. Air temp was 60.2° and the water is 62.2°. High tide is at 10:59am +6.3' and low tide will follow at 5:30pm -0.0'. The buoy is reading a 2.6' swell out of 266° W. The high tide is giving it problems, so we've got a 1' to 2' situation breaking really close. We heard a bunch of boys hit Torrance and surfed it close...
Some folks didn't believe the part about the Easy-Up™ in the living room. Tim Burke's living room in Eagle could hold three - no problem...
Mailer Demon:
Paver sez:
The new blade looks like a stealth fighter or a cruise missile -- phallic to the max, Dr Freud.
With those beautiful Idaho taters, probably pulled fresh from the garden a short while earlier, it looks like an old fashioned Irish celebration of their patron, St Spud.
(Sometimes a cigar is just a dick... the potatoes on the other hand...? Ed.)
Check out the post from Lost Boys Surf blog. I pointed people to your GN (Greg Noll) shaping footage....wonder if you see any hits for the videos???
Have not heard anything in a bit if you get a chance update me.
Da Swami
(It's got to have at least one, because we watched it! We'll check it out... Ed.)
Two things: One, We've been spreading rumors about happy hour at Samba tonight at 6pm. Turns out that it's true so it's no longer a rumor. It's south of Ruby's and west of Louey-Louie's. If you get there early check out the classic cars at Ruby's and meet us when your gear-head is sated... Two, Boomfwappa and the Rhythm Bombaderos will be playing at Keegan's on September 17. More info later...
