Dumpster Diving Thursday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Doc had us all in stitches this morning recounting his adventure dumpster diving behind Brothers looking for his Invisalign™ retainers.  He takes them out to have brekky, puts them in a cup of water, then puts them back in when he's through.  It seems that in his haste to leave yesterday, he forgot about them and tossed all of the cups and breakfast detritus into the trash can.  He came back at 2pm and as luck would have it, Yoshi was still there!  Yoshi took him around back to the dumpster, looked in and said, "See that bag?  That was the outside trash from this morning."  So Doc started to jump into the dumpster, Yoshi stopped him and got him a pair of gloves.  After some quality dumpster diving (noticing in the process just how much food people waste, "That's an untouched bowl!"  "Lookit those burritos!"  "Whoa a head of lettuce!") He amazingly surfaced with the upper retainer, the lower unit somehow getting detoured to 9th ring of dumpster hell.  Do you know how hard it is to get that orange grease out of a retainer?...

Partly cloudy this morning with 9 miles visibility.Winds wee wonky out of the SSW and the sea surface had a bit of tack as the morning wore on.  The air was 63.2º at checkout and the water is 70.7º.  Low tide was at 5:37am -0.1' and high tide follows at 11:56am +5.5'.  It's a SW swell out of 220º at 3.6' and in the 3' to 4' surf we got, we all got a couple of good ones.  Ronnie and Chris Miller ruled the lefts and got some blasters through the inside!

NO, this (#1) isn't Brad Pitt.  This is one of our newest friends Anton Matinlauri.  He got a job in Southern California and left his native Finland for sand, surf and soccer.  He's the strength coach for the LAFC, so you don't want to cut him off and get him mad.  Actually, he's the nicest guy and we're stoked to have him join us!

Lost Boys & Co... Wouldn't it be nice to have some surf to report about?  The simple answer is "yes."  But, and it's a big BUT, we're going to forge ahead and give you the particulars anyway.  5 miles visibility and pretty hazy conditions although it looks like the sun is trying to melt the haze.  Winds were offshore by 1 to 3kts. and the sea surface is smooth.  The air temp was 64.5º and the water is 65.8º.  High tide is at 10:14am +5.6' and low tide follows at 4:55pm +0.6' (Maybe good for a walk on the hard sand.  Don't step on a bee.  Been lots of them on the shallow sand.)  SSW swell out of 206º at 2.3' and it was half of that on the beach.  Just to whet your appetite we've included this shot of the Professor in Nicaragua at "Soupbowls", or "Chicken Soup", or "Noodles".  They were all lefts... Some of you know that the Professor has sparred with some health issues recently.  He submitted this (Attachment) t

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!!
