It's Another Frijolé Friday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... W hen you"re on the road essential services are sometimes at a premium.  Take the case of Cat Simmons who had scheduled a skin cancer surgery only to have a surf trip come up and whisk him away.  But no worries!  Here at our "Mobile Auxiliary Surf Hospital" (M.A.S.H.) our anesthesiologist Dr. Souther and head surgeon Prof. Dr. Paine went right to work! (#1)  An outpatient procedure, he was back in the water for the afternoon session.  A biopsy revealed that instead of being cancerous the lesion was a bit of frijolé from breakfast.  Better safe than sorry, we say. 10 miles visibility under mostly clear skies this morning.  Winds were off by 3 to 5kts and the sea surface was brushed smooth.  The air was 45.0º and felt like 32, while the sea temp was 57.7º and felt just like that.  High tide was at 10:51am +4.9' and low tide follows at 5:47pm +-0.0'.  It's a west swell out of 262º at 2.6' and it was an amazing 3' to 5...

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...

Surfing With The Barbarians Friday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... W e were watching Brendan Simmons (#1) in the water the other day and were thinking he reminded us of someone, then it donned on us that it was Donald Takayama.  That same quickness and cat-like approach, then a big move at the end of the wave to put a cap on the entire proceedings.  He also rides a number of different shapes like Takayama did, but he might be a better shortboarder than D.T. T he ghastly crumb foggies were obscuring the surfline this morning.  Winds were variable to 3kts. and the sea surface was smooth.  The air was a soggy 51.3º and the water is 57.7º.  High tide is at 10:41am +5.7' and low tide follows at 5:57pm -0.5'.  It's a typical WSW swell out of 257º at 3.3' and it was (according to people who claimed to see it) 3' to 4'... O k, so we're heading down to Mexico with the crew to do some jungle recon.  We're trying to decide if we should bring our iPad down to stay in contact or wait to inundate you when we g...
