Nicola Tesla Tuesday Surf & Culture Report


Lost Boys & Co…

Thank you, we're back...

What is it about electricity?  Ours went out and we've been computerless for three days.  But it only went out in certain spots, one of them running the Wi-Fi, internet and computer.  Not to mention the sprinkler system, the heater and the tunes.  Good news, the fridge and the garage door are still running.  The electrician says it looks like a short, but we're thinking it could be a long… As in the electrons are looking for another path but it's too long to make all the aforementioned stuff work… Nicola would be proud…

The ocean looks like chocolate or actually more like Yoo-Hoo™ chocolate drink.  Red tide.  10 miles visibility under partly cloudy skies.  Wind were out of the NW by 2 to 4kts and the sea surface was ruggedly textured.  The air was 53.6º and the water was 57.2º despite the 64º reading on the Lifeguard board.  High tide was at 9:16am +3.6' and low tide will be at 2:08pm +1.8'.  It's a SSW swell out of 199º at 3.6' and it was 3' to 4' and the rising tide made it difficult to catch anything good.  Later it looked like Laurie and her friends had better luck closer to the pier.  Location, location, location...

How many bowlers do we have out there?  Actually more than we imagined.  Here (#1) we have Jetski demonstrating his form and how it lead to him pull a groin muscle.  We always stayed away from bowling alleys because they were loud, smoky and were dens of iniquity.  It turns out they were dangerous as well...  There are better ways to pull a groin muscle...

Some Days Are Wednesdays Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... O ut here in the great wilderness we spent most of a week with Brother Miloe and Billie Bob Mason skidding down the various slopes of Brundage Mountain near McCall, Idaho.  Conditions varied, but for the most part it was spring skiing and the last couple of days were downright hot!  Temps were in the 50's and when you're skiing that tends to warm things up a bit.  We were down to bare knuckles and T-shirts under our nylon shells.  No crowds! (#1) A good time was had by all until Julia got stuck in some gooey snow and pulled a hip bone.  Nothing serious, but they wrapped her burrito style and the Ski Patrol slid her down the mountain where she began to come around fairly quickly...  This is what happens when you go slow! W e have no idea what's going on with the buoys!  The 46221 Buoy had the water temp this morning at 56.8° which is the coldest we've recorded this year!  Brrr!  High tide was at 7:23am +4.7' and low tide is at 2:24pm -0.4'.

We Came On Different Ships, But We're All In The Same Boat Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... F ound these cool sweatshirts (#1) at Spyder on the Plaza.  They show all of the cool South Bay surf spots and wave magnets.  We managed to get these cool women to show off the threads... H eavy overcast and not quite 7 miles visibility.  Winds were onshore by 2 to 4kts and the surface was generously textured.  The air was 58.5º and the water is 58.5º.  Overcast, windy and chilly, this isn't sounding great is it?  Low tide is at 11:46am +0.6' and high tide follows late at 6:44pm +4.3'.  It's a SSW swell out of 212º at 2.3' and that's about how big it was with a few fatter outsides. F or those of you who knew Brian Sullivan his funeral will be held at St. Lawrence Church at 1pm on Saturday.  Still can't quite believe he's gone... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... Out on the Gulf of Mexico riding some interesting three footers in Freeport.  So here we are with the Maharishi after riding the outside at the "Octagon" jetty.  South wind is blowing at 10kts and it's bit textured, but it was fun and a great workout! More as we explore the area! Hope you all had a Happy Easter! "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!
