A General Admission Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

You've been with her at concerts, rock shows and the philharmonic...  Ladies and gentlemen may I present General Admission.  She was surprised that we recognized her in her civvies, but we said, "Hey, there's a sign!"  She was a good sport.  We have to admit we've actually known her since she was Corporal Admission...

A beautiful morning as the Surf Famiglia hit the surf.  Talk about a crew!  Jah Morgan and Christian made the call and were quickly joined by Kirra Bones, Brendan and José Bacalao.  Up rolled Jetski and in short order Suzi, Joey and the Professor.  We met up with Tucker and Capitan Donaldo who was already in the lineup.  It was 55.0 in the air and 58.6 in the water.  Tide was high at 10:18am +4.5' and low tide was at 4:05pm +0.7'.  We have a steady SSW swell out of 209º at 3.6' and it was 3' to 4' with some fatter outsides if you were patient...

#2 photo in a desperate attempt to gain a bit of altitude this seagull decided to light on his buddy instead of the usual sand landing.  We know what you're thinking, but there was no funny business going on here.  The guy on the bottom would look to the left, while the bird on the top would look to the right.  Maybe a survival mechanism.  You just might start seeing it everywhere on the beach.  You saw it here first...

#3 is a backlit shot of part of the crew getting ready to hit the surf this morning.  L. to R.:  Tucker O'Shia (who nailed one of the highest air-revo's we've ever seen in person,) The Professor, Jetski (the darling of the water photographers this morning Joey recorded his tube takeoff for posterity while nearly getting eviscerated,) Joey "Lenscrafter" Anderson and Suzi (with her handcrafted SUZI board)  photo credit: I.

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
