Enthralled With This Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

Showing the crew how to drop in steep and late, Marco works out the kinks on his new Becker.  Jimmy Barahona decided that the Shark needed a stick worthy of his name.  It was shaped by Phil Becker and the drawing on the bottom was done by Brian Bent in his signature style!

An absolutely beautiful morning here in So. Cal.  Cloudless azure skies and 22 miles visibility.  Winds were offshore by 5.5kts and the sea surface was smooth to near glassy.  The air temp was 50.6° and the water seemed warmer than the advertised 57.0°.  High tide at 9:43am +5.0' and low tide will follow at 4:01pm +0.1'.  The buoy is reading a strong west swell out of 268° at 3.6' and we'll call it 3' to 4', with some fat outsides.

Every once-in-a-while Sapphire will break through the high tide, like this morning.  If you're on it, it can be kinda special.  Ché made it look as good as you can imagine.  He got at least 3 615's and on one of the one's we saw, he got covered up, shook it off and zipped down a cool speed run all the way to the sand!  He just kept racking them up, one after the next.  Then the Queen herself was pulling into these fat right cylinders, anticipating how her new blade might make the same attack.  We're thinking faster and more drawn out lines...

Keegan's tomorrow night for the Pheasant Pluckers.  Action starts at 7 and goes until 10.  Dancing, food and strong drink...  1434 Marcelina Ave. Torrance, 90501

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...
