We Don't Mean To Complain Friday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

You know when people say "they don't mean to complain", you know they damned well do.  So we have been lucky enough to suffer with a bout of sciatica, which has rendered us, appropriately "pained," grouchy, short tempered, ugly and unreasonable.  It kept us up most of last night and then continued to annoy our ass all through the morning and now into the afternoon.  We have taken, in no particular order Motrin™, Naproxyn, Advil™, Aspirin and two things that Miloe gave us that we refuse to take again, unless we're cleared for takeoff at Zamperini Field.  We write this to say that we often make light of people who are obviously suffering, suggesting that they "suck it up."  Well, we'll guess that we still think that, except we're adding ourselves to the mix...

A beautiful morning, sunny and clear.  Winds were offshore and the sea surface was smooth.  The air was 65.5º and the water is nice at 71.6º.  High tide was at 9am +3.7' and low tide follows at 1:05pm +2.8'.  The buoy tells us that we have a west swell out of 278º at 2.6' and we'll call it 2' to 3' with some fun ones...

What we have here (#1) is an opportunity for you to compare and contrast.  On the right we have baby Rylee, a newly minted 1 year old and on the left we have, representing the geezers of the world, a 74 year old Professor.  You'll note that Rylee is smooth skinned and apart from some very cute laugh-lines is basically wrinkle free.  She has a crown of downy hair and cherubic pudge.  The Professor's hide closely resembles a tanned saddle and his eyes the saddlebags.  Hair springs from various orifices and his eyebrows appear ready to launch themselves down his nose to meet his mustache.  As near as we can tell his face is melting into his t-shirt.  It's not all dismal, they both have great eyelashes!

Teach A Fish To Fly Friday Surf & Culture Report

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!!
