It’s Thursday Already Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

We had some standouts in the South Bay Scholastic Surfing Association's "Kickoff Classic."  Especially the Familia's own Milly Hostman (#1) who got 1st place in the Women's Longboard Division.  Coach Avery sent this out:

"After seven days of competition over nine weeks, we had the finals of the Kick-Off Classic in challenging, waist-to-chest-high waves.  We had an amazing contest, with many athletes reaching the event's finals.  Below are the highlights:

Congrats to freshman Milly Horstman for winning the Women's Longboard Division!

In Men's shortboard, Dylan Morrisroe lost in a heartbreaker with 30 seconds left to secure 2nd place out of 160 athletes.  Devon Russell had an amazing contest taking 4th overall.

In Men's Longboard, Coco Buffagni had his best contest as a Sea Hawk finishing 3rd overall, and Dylan Morrisroe finished in 6th.  

In Women's Shortboard, Abby Bosse also had her best finish, finishing in 3rd place out of 51 total athletes.

Other standouts:
Men's Quarterfinals:
Soren Roed 1st Place, 6th in Semifinals
Jake Kislinger 3rd Place, 4th in Semifinals
Charlie Lentz 3rd Place, 5th in Semifinals"

On the beach at Hermosa we had clear skies with 20miles visibility.  The sea surface was bumped with light winds out of the west.  The air temp was 47.3º and the water is 59.2º.  Low tide was early at 6:55am +3.4' and high tide followed at 12:38pm +4.8'.  It's a WSW swell out of 250º at 2.6' and it was a lumpy 3' requiring no small amount of patience to make things work...

Class is out at 8:15am mañana and all next week for the Thanksgiving holiday.  Let's see if there are some waves for which we should be thankful!

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...
