After 39 years, when he tells a joke and she laughs, you know it's a good one...  Or it could just be the mustache...  The mustache is funny until someone loses an eye... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it..."  The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... S ometimes you're praying for surf and suddenly you find yourself in San Onofre and it's a solid 4' with bigger outsides.  People are on 10'+ logs flying around like nobody's business and you're just trying to find a spot where you can get some waves and try this whole new place out.  I can can be a challenge, daunting and often discouraging, but if you keep trying, sooner or later it all comes together...  And if not here, some other place that's just right for you...  We've all been there...  (photo:  LoLa for The Existential Church Of Chumash Bingo ) P artly cloudy this morning with 10 miles visibility.  Winds were light onshore to 3.2kts and the sea surface started out smooth, but got progressively bumpy as the morning waned.  The air temp was in the 70's and the water was 72.1˚.  High tide was at 9:51am +4.3' and low tide followed at 2:53pm +1.7'.  We enjoyed a SSW swell out of 209˚ at 3.3'  but there were...

T his is how the Russian mafia and the Portuguese mafia seal the deal.  Jetski Vishnevsky and Francisco Carlos Antonio Jobim-Paim divvying up the Beach Cities.  No, Torrance is NOT a beach city and neither is San Pedro...  ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it..."  The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... A friend of Robin Fenlon, Keala Kennelly managed to get towed into this yawning monster at Teahupoo.  Absolutely incredible, it kinda hits you in the pit of your stomach every time you look at it...  So we can imagine getting towed in, but how do you get out?  That looks like a problem of major proportions...  like getting washed over the reef, surviving the surge and not getting hit by a boat full of photogs... M ostly sunny this morning with 20 miles visibility.  Winds were calm and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 68.8˚ and the water was 72.0˚.  High tide was at 8:40am +3.8' and low tide will follow at 1:21pm +2.2'.  We have a SW swell out of 220˚ at 3.6' and it was 3' to 4' with some nice ones if your timing was on...

Lost Boys & Co... T he 7th Anniversary party for Brother's Burritos wasn't as good as you might imagine.  No... it was BETTER!   Extravagant giveaways, great food and enough tequila to float this Barahona Surfboard that was the centerpiece of the live auction that raised $900 for the employees!  Clarky was the MC, rafflemaster and auctioneer.  The cops showed up twice and both times Mike Leko, being the tallest white guy present, was sent out to mollify their strident attitudes...  (successfully, by the way...)  L. to R.:  Ivan, Rogelio, Yoshi, Oscar, José, Madison and Quil.  Not pictured:  Scott, Elder, Ryan and Brandon.  (Photo credit:  Jetsky Vishnevsky for International Brotherhood of Foam Mowers ) O vercast this morning with 10 miles visibility.  Winds light out of the SW by 2.3kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temp was 69.3˚ and the water was an honest 71.2˚.  Low tide was at 9:17am +2.1' and high...

Lost Boys & Co... R asta Pete is the apex Hermosa local.  He said he'd never seen so many people on the pier.  We concur.  So we walked out on the pier to see just who was out there...  We walked all the way out to the Mark Levy plaque and didn't recognize anyone.  So we turned around and about halfway back we ran into CoConut and we all embraced, afraid to let go less we lose each other.  Then we saw Bobby Warchola and Bob Thomas and decided we could make a run for it...  Those crossfit folks are scary... G ray, but warm and 6 miles visibility.  Winds were on shore by 3.2kts and there was a light bump on the surface.  The air temp was 69.5˚ and the water was 71.1˚.  Billy Lefebre, says it's too warm and there's gonna be a hurricane...  Low tide was at 8:25am +1.7' and high tide will follow at 3:41pm +4.5'.  We have a SW swell out of 226˚ at 2.3' and it's 1' to 2' and small, but as fun as you need it to be...8 T he pier use...

Lost Boys & Co... A t his palatial dacha on the Black Sea, we dined with Boris "Jetski" Vishnevsky.  A scrumptious meal of several courses the show stopper was pork chiliquilles with over easy eggs, on a bed of cheese and pork and tortilla chips roasted in pork oil...  LoLa and Taylor directed the preparation... O vercast this morning and you could see Catalina, but not the sun...  Winds were onshore by 3.0kts and the sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 70.0˚ and the water is 70.5˚.  Low tide was at 7:11am +0.9' and high tide was at 2:01pm +4.3'.  We have a SSW swell out of 203˚ at 3.0' and it's 1' to 2'.  Maybe later this week... A wonderful day at the water park for our intrepid couple waving to the paparazzi.  Not such a great day for the kid on the left floating face down in ankle deep water...  For some undisclosed length of time...  Come on, 4 or 5 minutes doesn't cause that much brain damage...  He wasn't tha...
