Something Extra Saturday Siurf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

#1 describes Buck on his rail-to-rail transition down the line.  He had just spanked the lip and is now setting up a rather quick trim through these inside sections.  Hard to see how fast he's going here...

A beautiful morning here in the So. Bay with sunny skies and offshore winds.  The surf is smaller, in the 2' to 3' range.  Supposed to get bigger tomorrow and Monday, but these things are always a bit vague...  Maybe if it's big enough you can make it Vogue...

#2 shows Capitan Donaldo swinging a wide arc on this mushy peak to build some speed up for the bump.  The brown water and boat in the background make it look a bit like Indo.  It had rained gatos and perros the day before so things were still a bit muddy.  It rained so hard at Sunzal that the river was even with the road!  We were watching as it crested and in the middle of all the debris and flotsam came a Sony TV bobbing along the flow!  It was a big full sized TV like 2' by 3' by 18" and it was floating like a cork.  When it hit the ocean it took off out to sea and in ten minutes it was out of sight.  Hoping that someone on a deserted island found it and dried it out...

#3  The Professor was urging Jetski to torque it up, as he straightens it out a bit to gather some speed.  These waves required a bit of finesse to stay in the right spot and get the max out of your ride.  Jetski was doing everything right and adding a hand drag to make it tres casual...

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
