Religion.  It's given people hope in a world torn apart by religion.  John Stewart

Here we have E.T.'s Pat Ryan, with his most iconic shape, the Kingfish.  He was giving Boris some tips on the fin set-up and characteristics of the "Exotic Dragster Bottom."

Cloudy this morning with some odd raindrops falling on the parade.  7 miles visibility.  If you needed to see something 8 miles away you were out of luck.  Winds were on by 5.9kts early and then laid back mid-morning leaving a bit of slack and less chop.  The air temp was 65.5˚ and the water was 66.7˚ and coupled with the wind, left most folks in long rubber.  Low tide was at 10:03am +1.2' and high tide was late at 4:55pm +5.5'.  We had a SSW swell out of 206˚ at 3.6' and it was a critical 3' to 4' and dumped as the tide dropped.  Check it out mañana.  If the wind takes a break it could be good...

Guess who was in town?  None other than Brother's former employee Lance "Lanchito" Rutledge.  Looking good and in fine form, he talked story with the boys for a couple of hours, which ended up being far too short.  He's down south until later in the month and we're trying to convince him to come up and join us for the pig roast.  He said to say "Hi" to all his buds...

Speaking of PIG ROAST it's taking place with the usual suspects in the usual place.  Saturday, July 18th 5pm.  Lots of food, conversation, music, drink and hoomalimali.  Don't miss it!

Rasta Pete, sent us this photo to keep us from getting a good night's sleep.  Like, it's not enough that this wave is beyond critical, you have to throw a hundred foot shark into the mix...  Depending on how this wave shapes up, you might have a better chance with the man in gray...

Happy hour, Friday night at Samba at 5:30pm on the patio...  Ride your bike, vintage car or SUP...

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
