Tequila Tuesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...
Here (#1) we have our man Christiano Von Stutzcanhang giving it a bit of lean to stay in the exact position he's charted.  Yes, he rode 90% of the wave basically hanging ten.  The savages on the beach went wild and vowed they would make him their king.  He declined the honor but said he would take the first prize of a special margarita as a gift.  Such humility and grace is seldom seen these days, but he is a great example of both attributes...

Meanwhile here in the frozen north we woke up to 46º air and 59.4º water.  Winds were off at 5 to 8kts and the sea surface had a rolling bump.  One low tide at 12:24pm -0.5'  There's a SSW swell out of 212º at 3.3' and it was a slow 3' to 5' with some deep holes in the middle of the break.

Redondo went head-to-head with PV this morning at Hermosa Pier and the Seahawks prevailed 86 to 61.  But the real secret to the Seahawk success was the women's heats.  In the shortboard heat it was: Keani Honda-Snow 1st, Abby Bosse 2nd and Karis Bruno 4th, for a combined total of 14 team points.  Dominating longboards were Soryn Preston 1st, Bridget Swift 2nd, and Keani Honda-Snow 3rd for 15 team points.  That's a total of 29 team points from the women and the basis for a compelling Seahawk victory.  Way to go ladies!

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
