Feeling Presidential Monday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Like father, like daughter...  Our first two shots feature Boomerang Dan and his daughter Katie.  Dan favors soft boards, baseball caps and boomerangs.  Katie rides long boards and gets out every chance she gets.  This was Friday when that offshore gale was howling from the southeast.  In retrospect that hat was a good idea...

Some high clouds this morning with a hazy sun burning through the am moisture.  20 miles visibility.  Winds were offshore at 2.3kts and the sea surface was smooth to glassy.  The air temperature was 43.4° chilly-willy degrees and the water was 56.8°.  High tide is at 11:11am +4.5' and low tide will be at 5:05pm +0.4'.  The buoy is reading a WSW swell out of 255° at 3.6'.  Topaz has some nice waves coming through at 3' to 4'.  Sandyland is a bit smaller, but the rising tide could make things shape up to a pretty good morning.  Put on your polar-tech and get out there...

Sharp-eyed Lost Boy:
there is an extra pair of feet in sandals between don and sandy . Is this an optical illusion, Photoshop or gnome? 
Larrr.
(YES!  Good-on-ya!  Those feet belong to none other than Leonard Treadwell.  How the rest of him managed to escape capture is almost unbelievable.   Ed.)

What do you do when your kid writes and says she needs a model of a wave for her school project?  If you're Oscar Barahona, you get a piece of foam, some 6oz. glass, a paper tube and laminate this little peeler.  With a little artistic help from Keone, you have something that's guaranteed to get an "A."
