Surf Festival Friday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

So when the going gets tough, the tough go to the track!  Celebrating Ronnie's birthday (which is really today, we think) the crew headed down to Del Mar and instead of taking a right turn and going to the beach, they made a left and went to watch the ponies.  Everyone looks happy (#1), but we couldn't take our eyes off of Clarke and his very stylish stingy-brim.

While here in the So. Bay we're getting ready for the International Surf Festival (starts tonight at 7:30pm under the lights) and trying to make things out in the fog.  Sometimes less than 200yds visibility, the fog horn let us know where to find the end of the pier.  Winds were light onshore and the sea surface was lightly textured.  The air and the water were both 63.0º.  High tide is at 10:00am +4.0' and low tide follows at 2:28pm +2.5'.  It's a WSW swell out of 241º at 2.3' and it was 2' with a bit of a push. 

Of course the big news was that after more than a year, Jetski, made it back into the water.  He paddled out, spun around and caught the first wave of the set.  Looked like he hadn't missed a day.  We're not saying he was stoked, but he's looking into changing his work sched.

#2.  Shows our man Stutzcanhang strolling up the beach after a session.  So look at the sand dunes, the little creek and that etched blue sky.  He must be in Spain?  Brazil?  Africa?  No!  He and Jah Morgan are in DENMARK celebrating their honeymoon.  How fun!  He is looking pretty damned Danish!

We'll be traveling next week, but we'll attempt to keep you in touch with our visit to Crescent City in Nor. Cal.  We remind you to send us some travel pics as you roll through your summer!

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!!
