Wayfarer Wednesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co...

1.  On a deep pocket, swinging his butt around a nice Knob Hill/Tres Palmas right.  #'s 1 & 4 show his commitment to going deep.

Colder than brisk this morning with 20 miles visibility and a few high clouds early.  Winds were offshore by 6.5kts and the sea surface had a bit of offshore ripple.  The air said 42.2º, but we're calling it colder with the wind chill.  In the water it was 63.3º, but Roddy Williams pulled a 61º at the Hermosa Pier.  Low tide was early at 6:04am +2.6' and high tide was in the am at 11:51am +4.8'.  We have a west swell out of 261º at 2.6', but it was a bit bigger with 3' to 4' waves working on the rising tide...

2.  He never minded going left if the situation presented itself.  This was a chilly Sapphire morning, but he acquitted himself well in the big lefts at Cardon in Mexico a couple of summer's ago.

3.  Interesting wrist action in this one and #4.  Looks like he wasn't quite done paddling.  #4 was a Sting Ginther shot, from the beach at Sapphire.  It and a couple of frames before and after made a serial montage that DB had on his wall.

5.  Giving it a once-over before going back into the fray.  He used copious amounts of sun block even on the cloudiest of days.  Still he managed to keep his rosy complexion...

6.  A cloudy spring morning at Knob.  A go-out on a day like this might include One-Nut Mike, Sea Wolf, Leithal Keithal, Sandy, Paul Brede, Bombora Scott, The Coach, TJ, Maluka, Water Buffalo, Easky and a cast of the curious and amazed...

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...
