Freestyle Friday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

The Seahawks really did a great job this morning!  Marian fielded one of the better teams she's had in recent memory, and they did a great job.  RUHS got first in every heat and we'll just show the number 1's.  Next week will be Redondo against rival Mira Costa and you can bet there will be some amazing surfing!

The #1's:  Heat #1 SB:  Kai Milan-Thomas,  Heat #2 SB:  Dylan Morrisroe (with a 12.03 for the highest heat total of the day!), Heat #3 SB:  London Meza, Heat #4 LB: Sheamus Swift (who by the way was just accepted to UCLA!)  Heat #5 LB:  JuJu Sleeis, Heat #6 SB:  Parker Murphy, Heat #7 SB:  Charlie Lentz.

Cloudy this morning with low overcast.  Winds were offshore 2 to 5kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air was a damp 57.9º and the water was even damper at 63.3º.  High tide was at 5:26am +5.0' and low tide follows at 12:55pm -0.6'.  It's a 2.3'SSW swell out of 194º and ity was 3' to 4' breaking off of a particularly good left sand bar out to sea from Brothers.

In #1, we have Anna as cinematographer to the stars bobbing in the warm Pacific in Costa Rica.  In the "International Wild Hair Competition" #2, She was working her curls in the back of the Toyota at mach 3 and found herself in front of the camera.  One of her super powers is the ability to stay underwater for ages.  In #3 she's taking her time to get to the surface.

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...

Adventurous Trial Tuesday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... R ead in "The Surfer's Journal", "...which retells the Homeric tale in a series of collages where it's heroes are constructed of black paper cutouts, irrevocably reimagining the aesthetic of the narrative, while asserting the universality of the human quest for self-realization through adventurous trial." ...And we merely thought we were going to go surfing (#1 The Professor, Jah, Jetski and Rasta Pete in the background.) O vercast today (why should it be any different than yesterday?) 7 miles visibility.  Winds were light onshore, 1 to 3kts and the sea was more textured that it should have been.  The air temperature was 64.3 º  and the water is 67.6 º .  High tide was at 9:27am +3.8' and low tide will be at 1:40pm +2.9'.  There's a south swell (which should tell you something right there) out of 199 º  at 2.3' and it was 1' to 2' and poor. W ith an abundance of caution the lifeguards closed the beach from the Re...
