Maybe Tryptophan Poisoning Monday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

To get the holiday started off right, we had a warm-up with Aunt Vania, Uncle Christian and Jah Morgan (#1).  This anticipated all of the turkey and sides that would be adding not only a prodigious amount of tryptophan to our tortured systems, but carbs in all their insidious iterations...  One word:  yams...

Clear skies this morning and winds out of the northeast by 2kts.  The sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 54.0º and the water is holding at 61.2º.  High tide was a full-moon addled high at 8:16am +6.1' and low at 3:28pm -0.4'.  We has a SSW swell out of 205º at 3.0' and it was 3' but you had to wait until the tide went out enough to make it work...  We're hearing that it's supposed to be getting bigger by the end of the week...

As we pulled up behind this truck (#2), all we could see initially was "Liquid Death."  Couldn't tell what it was or where it was going, but there it was "Liquid Death."  Our first thought was that they finally got the cocktail engineered to give to the next guy on death row, but no, it said "MOUNTAIN WATER."  Oh yeah and it comes in regular or sparkling, naturally.  Pulling up alongside didn't help.  "Murder Your Thirst" it proclaimed in concert with an image of a torso with eyes where you typically find nipples, a can of Liquid Death gushing out of the neck and several severed heads flying over the hatchet (properly bloodied) wielding monster.  So, we wondered who exactly is the target audience/victims?  12 year old boys come immediately to mind.  And what happens when you walk in to the store and you ask the clerk, "Say there buddy, got any Liquid Death?"  "Sparkling?"  This is right before he pulls out the Glock he keeps behind the counter and says, "No, but how about some lead poisoning?"  "Okay, okay, I'll have a Fanta..."

Everyone is having trouble with 2020 including Santa (#3), who predictably fell off the roof on top of the guy who initially put him up there...  Coal for everyone!

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
