Weak Willed Wednesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Here we have Auzi (#1) getting some speed down the line and trying not to tag our photographer (Jah Morgan.)  He and his brother are from Santa Monica and are regulars with Marion Clark...

A man walks in to a bar and orders a a Corona and two Hurricanes...
Bartender says, "That'll be $20.20

We walked out on the pier this morning and it looked like there might be some possibilities.  By the time we suited up the wind had kicked up to 6 to 9kts and the sea surface was chopped and uneven.  It was cloudy and the air temperature was 67.3 and the water is 70.0.  Low tide was at 9:48am +2.6' and high tide was at 4:34pm +5.5'.  There was a west swell out of 260º at 3.9' and it was 2' to 4' with a strong push, but chopped up conditions that made it really unrideable...  Maybe mañana...

Now here's something you don't see very often.  We have Mr. Christian (#2) suddenly coming to the realization that he's abandoned his ride and is now holding forth sans surfboard.  The amazing thing is that he made it another twenty feet before he noticed he was skidding along on his feet...  got in a couple of turns though...

Then there's Suzi and Joey (#3) showing off their matching forearm tats...  Kinda cool how they combine to make a symmetrical design...

Then we have this cool black and white shot of Jesse Rae (#4) hanging five and a bit more.  Jah told us that when she saw this shot she imagined that Jesse should have wings and that it would be an angelic kind of pose.  With or without wings, she's always really composed while noseriding...

(Note:  We've gotten word that some of the photos aren't cooperating when you try to enlarge them.  We're working on those formatting glitches and trying to get them to work properly...  Ed.)

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
