Multiple Personality Monday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Deep in Mexico you'd be surprised at how many vintage VW buses are still plying the highways...  Spotted this flat gray primer model (#1) in Puerto Escondido outside of Kika's Circus bar...  If you find yourself there, order the café au lait.  You get two for the price of one and if the barkeep flips the lid from the mezcal bottle and you catch it you get another one...  Don't worry, by the time you've had three you couldn't catch the plague...

Beautiful morning with just a bit of sideshore from the southwest at 2 to 4kts.  The air temperature was 53.9º, but warmed up very nicely and the water is 60.6º.  One tide today and tomorrow and it was Low at 10:33am +0.5'.  We had a SW swell out of 232º at 3.9' and it was 3' to 5' with some ledgy right lines.

Tarsan (#2) thinking about what tattoo he should get to commemorate the trip.  That didn't require much cogitation, he had been feasted upon by the local mosquito population down at the beach.  Funny, if you had asked Don Congrejó, LóLa or the Professor, they would have told you there weren't many bugs at all.  But Tarsan would tell you that they came in dark clouds from the lagoon and feasted on the flesh of the pure of heart.  To appease the mosquito gods, he did what you do, he got a tattoo of an anopheles blood sucker (#3) and voilá, not another bite after that...

Big celebration for Aubrie this weekend down at Burnout.  Here we have her riding shotgun as the wedding party pulls up to the parking lot (#4).  The weather cooperated, the celebration was sweet and short, the taco truck was on time and we danced until 2am...  Congratulations to Mr. Adam and Mrs. Aubrie Hinshaw!

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
