No One Told Us Thursday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

All of the atmospheric conditions are absolutely perfect.  Skies are clear, winds are offshore by 2 to 4kts and the sea surface is smooth.  The air was winter-like 48.8º and the water is still holding at 62.6º.  High tide was really high at 9:06am +6.7' and low tide was really low at 4:41;pm -1.2'.  There were patches of dry sand inside the harbor.  We have a weak west swell out of 270º and it was almost 1' and looked like someone had left the pool cover on according to Jetski.

Familia!  Familia!  Familia!  You have no idea.  It's possible that we just solved your last minute Christmas gifting problems.  In a move as unorthodox as you are, we have created a SRUF Familia T-shirt.  If we were to say nothing else, the term "RING SPUN COTTON" should throw you back on your heels.  They have been painstakingly cut and assembled in our secret factory in El Salvador (thank you Oscar) and have been hand-printed using the highest quality camel oil aniline pigments.  They have a printed tag attesting to their originality and numbered accordingly.  Lucia Faloni sells a similar T for $140.  At Tom Ford these shirts would be a cool $130.  At Henry Ford, they're not available.  A TravisMatthew will set you back $59.95.  But for YOU, our familia, our dearest friends, our tutti d' tutti frutti, they are $32.00.  Those lucky folks on your gift list will love you forever!  Isn't that what it's about!  Love! Art! Money!  But mostly love...  Yes, let us know while we still have most sizes in this initial run, so you can say you had one of the originals...  There will be a website, but for right now text the Professor at 310-626-7014...

Thank you for your consideration and there is a story behind SRUF.  All will be revealed...

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
