Thornbush Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...
 
Looking from the lanai out past Canoes, to Pop's and beyond.  Kinda looks like the world's largest wave pool.  Shot number 2 is from "Duke's Barefoot Bar" looking toward Diamond Head, just a little after sunset.  One of those views of which you never get tired...

Windier this morning than yesterday and a bit choppier, from the west at 7.5kts, with low clouds and some overcast.  5 miles visibility.  The air temp was 67.1° and the water is continuing to drop.  It's a chilly 61.0° (like November temps!)  High tide at 10:54am +5.0' and low tide will follow at 4:48pm +1.3'.  The best news is that the buoy has jumped to 4.3' out of 192° SSW.  There are some waves in the 3' to 5' range, but it's chopped up and not the best shape.  Maybe tomorrow if things even out...

This is true...

Long ago a momma shark and baby shark were swimming along…

They came across a group of shipwreck survivors…

The momma shark said to the baby shark… 

Lets swim around them 4 or 5 times before we eat them…

So the momma shark and the baby shark swam around the terrified survivors 5 times…

Then they ate all the survivors… (which effectively ended their status as survivors...  Ed.)

After they were finished eating all the survivors, the baby shark asked the momma shark;

Momma why did we circle them 5 times before we ate them?

And the momma shark explained;

Because they taste better without the $#it inside!

At least that is my story and I'm stickin to it…  P-))

Professor:
With your "new" moustache curl, you are looking more the Paisan than the Portagee.
The Portugese are rumored to be ecstatic!
Big Daddy
(The Professor has contemplated filing for Italian citizenship, but it turns out they want him less than the Portagees!  Albania has yet to respond...  Ed.)

Hiya Professor!
Is it my imagination, or do you have more fun than 99.8% of the people in this world?  I'm just askin'... (as I prepare my syllabus for the new semester).
Keeks
(It's actually 97.3%, but I'm working on the additional 2.7%.  I've come to the realization that a lot of folks retire to do nothing.  I retired so I could do something!   Good luck on the new school year.  Your students are lucky to have such a talented, famous instructor!  The Professor!!)

I like the Ukulele shot - it's a classic!
TJ
(Do you know how fast we had to run after we grabbed those ukes?  We barely had time to take the picture.  For such big guys they were fast!  Ed.)

Photo #3.  Fish hiding in spiky-thorny coral.  Don't touch!  Yeah, we got that...

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...

Riding The Gulf Monday Surf & Culture Report

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! More as we explore the area! Hope you all had a Happy Easter! "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!
