Was THAT A Debate Wednesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

A memorable first presidential debate of this election cycle.  A bit chaotic (to say the least), but we have an idea.  Let's have both President Trump and Vice President Biden debate naked.  No podiums.  Hand held mics and an audience in the round.  We're thinking it would take on a gladiatorial aspect as they circled the stage and unleashed their barbs at their opponent.  Also coming out at the bell they could jump right in on body shaming and thinly veiled or obvious sexual inadequacies.   Ratings through the roof on that one...

Meanwhile, Ché and the Professor got into the shaping bay and mowed out a bullet for Mexico (#1).  23½ wide, 3¼ thick and 9'6" long, it's a log for all seasons.  Includes a fair amount of magic as well...

Clear as a bell this morning and the winds were offshore by 3.7kts for a beautiful fall morning.  The air was 67.1º and the water is holding at 70.7º.  High tide was at 9:25am +5.1' and low tide was at 3:17pm +1.2'. We have an oblique SSW swell out of 198º at 3.9' and it was 3' to 4' with some sweet peaks between the pier and 10th St...

The Buck and the Buckaroos tour with Buck Delameter and the boys, including Luke, Jetski, Clarke and the Professor (#2) before Buck Owens made them change their name to "Buck and the Aloha Mutineers."  (#3) was some rehearing in the campground at San Onofre.  Two instruments that aren't naturals together are accordions and ukuleles.  Buck plays a B flat button box and playing a B flat on the uke is a pain-in-the-ass...  But there was a certain magic about the pairing...

Sound check at the Hollywood Bowl (#4).  Jetski and the Professor hiked to the top to make sure everything was perfect.  The entire group brought bowling balls in designer bags...   The album:  "Lucky Strike:  The Aliens at the Hollywood Bowl."

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
