Not Any Tuesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...
Thanks to all the folks who turned out for Annie's Birthday party this morning!  Special thanks to Dane DeLuca who provided the cake with the impressive and appropriate bicycle themed birthday decoration (#1 & #2), party favors (bubble blowing kits) and half-plates that made it look like you were having a reasonable amount of the extremely rich cake.  For those having trouble blowing bubbles, we suggest taking advice from Lauren Bacall in "To Have and Have Not"...  "You know how to (blow bubbles), don't you Steve?  You just put your lips together and blow."

Meanwhile, yards away on the beach, the skies were clear and then clouded up and then sprinkled a bit!  Visibility to 10 miles.  Winds were offshore, according to the bubbles, and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 55.0º and the water is 63.7º.  Low tide was at 7:30am -0.8' and high tide will be at 2:36pm +3.1'.  It's a building SSW swell out of 209º at 2.3' and it was 2' and breaking in 6" of water...

Finals of the South Bay Scholastic Surf League will be on Thursday at 38th St. El Porto.  Event starts at 6:30am.  Our advice is to ride your bike and avoid the crush going in to the parking lot!

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...
