Test Ban Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

#1)  Do we ever get tired of seeing Morgan on the nose?  The answer is:  NO!  Here we see her at Malibu negotiating competitors, disorganized canoe paddlers and eventually the pier.  The good news is that she was successful on all counts!

10 Miles visibility under hazy sun.  Wind was up early out of the NW by 5.1kts and the sea surface was rippled up.  The air temperature was 66.8 and the water is nice at 70.3.  Low tide was at 6:12am +0.2' and high tide is slated for 12:43pm +4.2'.  We have a west swell out of 261º at 2.6' and that's just about what it was...

Charlie playing one of her originals(#2).  We need to learn a couple of her songs so that we can accompany her on our European tour in 2019.  Yes, we'll be joining Buck and the Button Box Brothers in Croatia, Slovenia and Amsterdam!

#3 Nephew Kawika Ching characteristically in the right spot.  He's the man behind the "Surf Blessons" and you can spot him most mornings with us on the southside...  If you get the chance, watch his hands - he leads himself through sections, over white water and makes 90% of his waves in what looks like an aquatic hula...  Awé!

Portagee sausage toes (#4) after catching a falling BBQ...  Hurt fo' days!

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!
