Getting Weirder Wednesday Surf & Culture Report

 
Lost Boys & Co...

Waikiki... World's largest wave pool.  From Diamond Head to the Ilikai, it's all right here.  Buck and the Professor decided to go full-tour and rent a couple of long boards and move in on Queens...  Despite being run over by kooks, jousting with confused locals and teasing reluctant novices they had a fabulous morning capped off by drinks at the Hula Grill with Anaconda Burke!  THEN they got a ride to the airport by Calvin, who the Professor convinced had been a student of his at Farrington High...  Yeah, Bla-lah you failed Eenglish - TWICET!

Hot in the So. Bay starting out at 69.9 and 72.7 in the water.  10 miles visibility and a hot hazy sun.  High tide was at 9:23am +4.0' and low tide isn't so low at 2:08pm +1.8'.  A small SSW swell out of 213º at 2.3' and it was a cool zipping 1' to 2' and the crew made it look like you wouldn't want to miss it...  Mañana at 7am at Brother's...

#2 Here we have Mateus Leao, young pirate Portagee...  Don't laugh they kicked the Professor out of class in the 7th grade and sent him home to shave...  #3 features more pirates including, Fast Nathan, Lilly Panda Cheeseburger, Beckly, Ning-Ning, Bama, Anaconda, Ali Bab-Wa and Gunnar...  You've probably noticed the waves in the background... We cleared the line-up after this photo was taken and had a great sunset surf...

Talk to Yoshi about Happy Hour this week!  We'll be heading down (up?) to Mt. Palomar to attend the nuptials of Kris Hall and Taylor Stone.  Waves along the way?  We'll let you know...

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
