Sometimes On Sunday When There's Collateral Carnage Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Of course the big news on the Boogie™ scene is that Doc Scale was in the line-up this morning.  He sat outside waiting for the set waves and didn't disappoint as he and A-Aron vied for position.  It wasn't carnage but it was something close as Doc pulled ahead and then what appeared to be through A-Aron.  Everyone in and out of the water waited to see who would surface and to their great delight and relief both washed up on the beach simultaneously.

Kathy Welch debuted in her matching boogie and outfit.  She too waited on the outside and Tom gave her pointers as she stretched to the inside.  Speaking of Tom, we guessed his foot was a size 12.  Nay nay, it's a 14 and once again he shunned fins for obvious reasons. 

 "Big Drop" Burnsy was rockin' the leap as she took off late on both the Rocket™ and her boogie.  Two great rights that demonstrated her aquatic skills.  Rocket Miller rode the "Tuna" today to great advantage and mangled the inside sections.  Supah-Anupa blew some great spray in her straight off takeoffs and classic bottom turns.  She was coming off of a successful fishing derby yesterday at Topanga.

Also rocking the Rocket™ was José Bacallao on the south side of the area almost to "Annaland."  He shows amazing control on whatever he happens to be surfing.  We were glad to see Tarsan and Claudia get in the water and body surf with the boogers.  LoLa also ditched her board for a bit of body surfing as she did her patented "Outrigger™" angle.

If you didn't make it today there's one more day of Boogie magic and Labor Day celebration.  Word is that the surf is going to be coming up and we may have to ditch the boogers later this week.

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!!
