Fish & Game Friday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Men's March Madness head to head surf comp was all that it was advertised to be.  Went down to Jake Kislinger vs Dylan Morrisroe in a final that had just about everything.  Jake lead for 19 minutes of the 20 minute heat.  But just like in the movies, in the last minute Dylan (#1) found a wave that allowed him to slide past Jake and take home the gold.  Exciting and great surfing.  Week after next will be the girls March Madness!

Clear skies, offshores at 1 to 3kts and smooth conditions.  The air was a chilly 46.4 and the water is 1.8 at the buoy.  Low tide at 10:21am -0.2' and high tide follows at 6:19pm +3.3'.  We're having a west swell out of 263 at 3.3' and it was a fun 3' despite the cold water.  Could it be that this is the nadir of the ocean temp and things will be getting warmer by degrees?  This is our hope...

In Studio "A" in the Wiggly Bus (#2), the Professor interviews Nup's and learns about the project and petition to save the barred sand bass.  So often we give lip service to these worthwhile projects and don't do anything.  This is an easy way to get involved and make a difference!  We're thinking about possibly turning these interviews into podcasts and we'll let you know if and when that happens.

"When the surf breaks, we'll fix it"

Twist & Shout Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... W e talked about how much building is going on in China.  There are so many new bridges across the Yangtze that they haven't named them all yet!  There are between 50 and a hundred going up between Yichang and Chongqing alone.  In our first photo, the bridge and road are so new that the road crosses the bridge and then doesn't go anywhere!  We watched them welding the superstructure in #2 and to our amazement we watched a guy put on a belt with eyes on the hips and get hoisted up a couple of hundred feet to near the top of this tower.  No nets, no additional straps, no hat - just flying there with a portable welding rig, sparks flying.  We actually saw guys spot welding stuff without dark glasses!  There are some tough guys up there!  Dude, you like gotta have a hat... A beautiful morning, with a few big clouds bumping along and 20 miles visibility.  Winds started onshore from the crack and they were light at checkout...

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...
