Why Is Everybody Laughing Wednesday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

Why are these men laughing?  It's got to be Boris...  No wait...  It's got to be Clarke...  No,   Maybe it involves Michael and his cat, well, it's actually Sarah's cat...  Maybe it's Karg?  Hey we need our Swiss-Fix...  AND a trim.  Just a trim, nothing crazy...  Okay, crazy is okay...  Waiting for the 24th of October and his triumphal return...  Scissor kick... BOOM!

Gray and windy again today!  What the f**K!  Only 6 miles visibility under overcast skies.  Seas were choppy and the air was 64.3 and the water was 65.3.  Low tide was at 9:20am +2.7' and High tide is at 3:53pm +5.3', as though this would make a lot of difference...  So we have a SSW swell out of 205º at 3.0' and it was blown out and 1' and poor... damnation...

On a sadder more serious note, Uncle Charlie (Paine) passed away last night after a brief illness.  "Uncle" Charlie was actually the Professor's and Boomfwappa's biological uncle, but he was also "Uncle" to untold legions of surfers, Portagees, sweater boys, low riders and festa celebrants.  He was 90, but a young 90.  Meaning that until about 3 months ago he was doing 50 push-ups every morning, riding his Harley and flirting someone else's ass off.  As only he could say, "SHUT Uuuup!"

Why is this woman laughing?  It might have something to do with whom she's married to.  No, you're not supposed to end with a preposition...  So "something to do with to whom she's married."  That doesn't flow somehow...  How about, "her husband is a f**king weirdo."  That works...

Yeah, yeah...  We get it...

By the way we're headed to Idaho for yet another jaunt in support of all of the family who have been thrown out of California.  It's a long story...  See you next week...

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
