Tiki Bar Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Sunrise, sunset swiftly go the days...

Partly cloudy in Maui this morning.  Winds were calm at checkout and the sea surface was glassy (kinda unusual for this time of year.)  Air temperature 82〫and the water is a delightful 80〫.  Swell is 1' to 2' out of the SSW and the waves are in the ankle snapper category - kinda looks like paradise...

I went there a few years ago with a co-worker/neighbor and we had it all to ourselves, the proprietor and his buddy…4 people total.

They pick you up at the airport in Mazatlan, deliver you to the locale and take you back at the end of the trip.  Pretty core adventure with fewer amenities than others I know of.

I'm keeping an eye out for this fall and a good window of surf.

There is a guy who was on Fox News AM today who taped with a Go-Pro Camera two White Sharks of SD CA beach as he was stand up paddle surfing. Also here is a story about more sharks showing up.  The cove is a great place for bigger sharks to follow in the White Sea Bass that are in or were just in last week I think.  http://www.petethomasoutdoors.com/2010/08/are-white-shark-numbers-growing-off-california-.html

Leopard shark sighting at hags quite a few years back . It was only bout 3 feet and in shallows . 
I've been on north shore oahu all week and no surf . Lots of wind and the kitesurfing has been real good . It s nice to get back into something that you truly enjoy and have not done in a few years . We had our own private photographer yesterday , will try to forward a few pics . Kiting is full throttled fun .

Hi Professor,
Don't know if you picked up yesterday's Easy Reader.  The writing and photo contest winners were announced.  I can't write but check out the winning photo, on the cover.

Hi All.
I wanna go to Sinaloa also.  The picture is worth a thousand words.  Hopefully Big Wave Dave will organize a trip for the Lost Boys...soon...at a great cost.  Come on Dave get with it and organize us.  [I just had successful back surgery at L5 for sciatica pain in legs and am progressing well.....and can surf again in Sept.  Maybe the water will warm up by then!)
Frank and Annie and the Boomfwappa gang....have a great time in Maui.
I have seen (surfing the cove one time and snorkeling 2 times) Leopard sharks well over six feet and they certainly get your heart rate up.  Of course it is easy to say that there are NO Tiger Sharks in this area....and that will be true until ...it isn't.  Things change.  ------ The last Tiger shark I saw, was silhouetted near the crest of a very large wave, 1/2 hr before sunset so the light was from the back of the wave, at a place called Flies on the S shore ofOahu.  5 of us paddling toward the wave ( a big outsider) agreed (later at the shower area) it was about 15' and moved so gracefully, and so rapidly, it was scary and amazing.  I caught the next wave, proned it in, with my friend yelling from the inside Why didn't you stand up ...it was a perfect left?... to which I responded Big F...ing Shark...and we got out of the water.
Hey Frank, think about that in Maui....as you paddle over the resident Tigers!

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...

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!!
