Don't Become A Monster Monday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Dodger fans have reason to celebrate now that the club has gotten into the World Series.  In far-flung Boise we have the stellar Alli-Babwa (or Alli B. if you listen to her show M thru F afternoons) showing off her Dodger swag (#1).  There's nothing more fun that watching a Dodger game with Alli B. and Anaconda Burke on the wide screen with you favorite beverage in hand...

Meanwhile outside fall was proceeding on apace with some spectacular foliage throughout central Idaho.  This Red Leaf Maple (#2) was a real standout...

The surf had some power this morning under cloudy skies and 10 miles visibility.  Winds were offshore by 3-4kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 66.3º and the water is still 70.9º.  High tide was at 11:10am +6.5' and low tide was at 6:17pm -0.5'.  We had a SSW swell out of 206º at 3.6' but it was focusing right on Hermosa and we got some 3' to 5' waves with some decent power.  There were also some nice peaks as the tide held things up throughout the middle of the lineup...

The Professor's new whip (#3) ready to hit the surf this morning...
  "I've gotta thank Boris, José, Jimmy and the entire crew at Mangiagli manufacturing for the great "Model Tio Model."  It rode like a dream and paddled even better.  What a great ride!"

Hermosa circa 1956 (#4).  Mom worked at Jean's Women's Apparel on the right about two doors down from "The Men's Shop", that the Jean family also owned.  A couple of doors down from that was the "Insomniac."

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
