Hello Team!! I am working on your LG Nationals with Charlotte Graham and we need volunteers throughout the event to help us make it happen!! Please reach out to your LG family and friends and invite them to spend a day or more with us at the beach and volunteer! I am looking to fill full or half day shifts from roughly 8am-5pm, Aug 10-13. This is a great way for them to experience our event. Please spread the word!! Message me for sign ups and more info..
 
 
 
 
   
A beautiful morning today with 15 miles visibility and clear skies.  Winds were from the SSE by 3.5kts and the sea surface was smooth to glassy.  The air temperature was 63.5 and the water is 70.0 at the buoy.  High tide was at 9:54am +3.9' and low tide will be at 2:38pm +2.1'.  We have a SSW swell out of 198º at 3' and it was a solid 1' damn near on the shore...

Remember that Morgan Sliff will be completing her 366 days of surfing this Thursday, July 21st!  There will be a commemorative surf at the Hermosa Pier at 7:30 then brekky at Brothers (with Rogelio's pozolé.)  The Becker store will host a BBQ and party starting at 2pm and going until 8.  Sure to be lots of fun!  Photo #1 is the Brothers Burrito Surf Squad:  Kirra, Ronnie, Jetski, Paul, Capitan Don Congrejo, The Professor, Max, Chelé, Bacalao and the woman of the year Jah Morgan.

A fast way to get from Amsterdam to Paris is the high-speed rail.  The GPS clocked our ride at 187mph! 

Notre Dame.  The real one.  Not the one in South Bend.  They don't have a football team and if they did, it would be "fútbol!"

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
