Florid Eloquence Friday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

Meanwhile, Boris and the Professor practice their stalking skills.  The use of video is very important.  First, it helps hone one's technique.  Second, you can show it to your friends.  Third, it can be used as evidence at the trial. 
"How do you plead?" 
"Insanity!"
"You plead insanity?"
"Yes your honor, I was crazy about that girl!"

Clear with winds from the south at about 4kts this morning.  The sea surface had a bit of a bump, but the swell was strong.  The air temp was 61.8 and the water is 66.0.  Low tide was at 5:02am +0.4' and high tide followed at 11:16am +5.3'.  We have a WSW swell out of 250º at 3.3', but it was hitting us straight enough to be 3' to 4' with some fatties on the outside...  Typically one of  the busiest weekends in the water, all of the kids who've been in school their first week are stressing for the weekend...

When we first saw this ad (#3), we thought it said "Park", but no, the heart is supposed to be an "O" and it's pork.  Then we thought the BBQ was a suitcase which fed our own delusions, but didn't make it any funnier...  Great slogan though...  It's been popular throughout the south...

Sensei Joey on the Mondrian Board (#4).  Not only is it a work of art, but it surf's like a dream as well...

When you need a martini and nothing else will do...  Shade for happy hour this evening.  5:30pm.  No pets, No service animals, No spirit animals...  They kicked the Professor out when he said his spirit animal was "steak."  Ruthless and unnecessary...

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
