Too Thin Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

In our first shot Danger Boy is endeavoring to keep his nose dry, having had it sliced a couple of waves before.  With all his connections we're sure it'll be fixed in no time.  Also keeping his nose in the air is the Professor, but it looks more like he's trying to show off his new paint job, rather than keep anything dry.

Looking picture perfect out the window this morning.  Blue skies and 20 miles visibility, with only a bit of marine haze over the water and across the bay.  Winds were out of the east by 3.8kts and the sea surface was smooth at checkout time.  The air temp was 55.2° and the water is trying to warm up, with a 58.1° this morning.  High tide is at 10:12am +3.7' and low tide will follow at 2:57pm +1.8'.  The buoy is reading a west swell out of 261° at 3.6', but it's getting amped along the way and today was a good 3' to 5' with some head high outsides.  No one expected this swell to last, let alone produce such good waves.  Check it out tomorrow and see if it holds!

Big Daddy swears this is a true story...

An Irish woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice in reviving her husband's libido. 

'What about trying Viagra?' asked the doctor. 
'Not a chance', she said.. 'He won't even take an aspirin.' 
Not a problem,' replied the doctor. 'Give him an 'Irish Viagra'. It's when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee. He won't even taste it. Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went.' 
It wasn't a week later when she called the doctor, who directly inquired as to her progress. The poor dear exclaimed, 'Oh, faith, bejaysus and begorrah! T'was horrid! Just terrible, doctor!' 
'Really? What happened?' asked the doctor. 
Well, I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate. He jumped straight up, with a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely! With one swoop of his arm, he sent me cups and tablecloth flying, ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop! It was a nightmare, I tell you, an absolute nightmare!' 
'Why so terrible?' asked the doctor, 'Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasn't good?' 
'Feckin jaysus, 'twas the best sex I've had in 25 years! But sure as I'm sittin here, I'll never be able to show me face in Starbucks again!'
Paver needs a blade...
LONG BOARD WANTED.  Ahoy, LB et al,  I would like to continue last summer's tentative entre into surfing.  I'm looking for a long board probably about a ten footer -- or close.  Does any LB have an old one that they really don't use anymore, or so rarely that it mostly takes up space in the quiver?  Alternatively, suggestions for finding such a beast, resellers, Craig's, ?
gracias, aloha,

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!!

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...
