Under One Tent Thursday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

We didn't realize how popular the '56 Chevy Blue would be until it started cropping up on toenails...  Guess the foot (the little toe is the giveaway).

Overcast skies with 5 miles visibility.  Winds are light offshore 1 to 4kts and the ocean has a light tack.  The air temp is 50.0º and the water is 57.9º.  High tide is at 9:09am +6.4' and low tide will follow at 4:12pm -1.2'.  It's a west swell out of 270º at 2.3' and it's 2' to 3' breaking pretty close to shore and closer as the tide rises...

Once again we feel the need to recon some faraway places to determine surf and recreational opportunities.  So this time it will be Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.  Tops on the list are Koh Samui in Thailand and My Khe (China Beach), but we're ready to check out some other possibilities!  Leaving tomorrow evening and be back on the 28th of February (hoping to avoid some chilly February weather here!)  Probably few if any reports, but we'll have plenty to interest you when we get back!

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...
