Three Men In A Tub Friday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Here we have (#1) three fellows who have surfed a few hundred thousand waves between them.  On your left is Fred Tisue, the best surfing dentist ever.  Now you can argue that Doc Ball was the first, Barney Wilkes was an innovator in both dentistry and surfing and Don James got the most shots in the mags.  But none of them ever caught more waves, bigger waves (Mexico, Tavarua, Hawaii, etc.) or rode as long as Fred.  We still have his fillings in our heads after all these years.  Then there's Capt. Donaldo, who's record speaks for itself.  If you don't know Donnie, you don't know surfing in the South Bay or Mexico or Hawaii.  There's only one question:  "Do you know Don Souther?"  The Professor has a tattoo...  (That's the best we could do...)

Overcast with 6 miles visibility.  Noticeably cooler.  Air 66.1º and the water is down to 67.8º.  High tide at 8:08am a wonky +3.9' and low tide follows at 12:08pm +3.1'.  It's a SSW swell out of 203º at 2.6' and there were weak two footers close to shore.

Think about longer wetsuits this weekend...

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!!

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!
