Lost Boys & Co.

Lost Boys & Co... There are two kinds of people who look at this photo (#1).  The first look at the pic and say, "Hey, that's LoLa on a beautiful meadow in Colorado."  Then there's those who say, "Isn't that the mountain range they show on the cans of Coors? (On the silver cans they turn blue when chilled!)  Stop!  You're both right! Cloudy this morning turning into bright sun and then getting cloudy again and looking like there's a storm brewing.  Winds were onshore and the sea surface was textured.  The air temperature was 58.8º and the water is 62.8º.  High tide is at 7:44am +3.6' and low tide will at 1:00pm +1.4'.  Swell is out of the SSW (209º) at 2.6', but it's doing a fine job of missing us and it's flat to 1'... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... A nd it's a happy birthday to Chris "Sancho" Urchita, Chris "Toph" Miller and the Professor!  Makes you wonder what was going on in late September? C loudy and quite frankly looks like rain.  Winds are onshore by 3 to 6kts and the sea surface is textured.  The air temperature is 60.1°and the water is trying at 63.1°.  5:45am +3.5' is high tide and low tide will be at 11:56am +1.0'.  We wish we had a bigger SSW swell, but it's 2.6' out of 213° and it's passing us by, leaving us with 0' to 1' mush burgers... H ere (#1) we have Burnsy and the Professor introducing Anna and Morgan's film, "To Be Frank" at the Telluride Mountain Film Festival.  It goes into general distribution tomorrow and we'll be sending out a link for you to watch it.  You might be in it, so take a look! ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... H ere we have Christiano Von Stutzcanhang (#1) riding this little slider near Crescent City to the excitement of the locals and curious visitors... A little  different at home with 3 miles visibility under overcast skies and winds out of the west by 3 to 4kts.  The sea  surface sported a rather heavy texture and no one seemed eager to try it out.  The  air temperature was 58.9° and the water is 62.8°.  Low tide  at 7:51am +0.0' and high tide is at 3:51pm +3.3'.  We have a SSW swell out of 205°at 2.6' and it wasn't even that at 1' to 2' and poor but it was the wind that put it out... B ack on Monday with the report from Colorado and some news on how to stream Anna and Morgan's film!  ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... I s this technology or what?  We'll beheading to the home of tellurium on Thursday for another showing of Anna and Morgan's film  "To Be Frank."  Our plan is  to make  those mountaineers jealous of the beach life.  Of course we tell them we're from Venice so they don't end up surfing the south side of the pier... O vercast this morning and drizzling to beat the ban.  Visibility was less than 2 miles and objects were moist to the touch and closer than they appear in the mirror.  If that wasn't enough  the wind was light onshore and the sea surface was sporting a bit of texture.  The air temperature was 61.0° and the water is 62.2° which actually feels pretty good.  Low tide was at 6:58am -0.3' and high tide will be at 2:25pm +3.2'.  It's a SSW swell out of 206° at 3.0' and it was 2' to 3' Waikiki-style and there  was Tamara  and Steve on the north side and  the Professor here (#1) at Annaland...

Lost Boys & Co... 2 miles visibility under heavy overcast skies.  Winds were light onshore and the sea surface is smooth to lightly textured.  The air temp was 59.8° and the water is 62.8° fine spring degrees.  High tide was at 9:40am +4.0' and low tide follows at 2:43pm +1.4'.  We have a 4.9' SSW swell out of 196° that is just missing Hermosa.  You can see that Bob Thomas (#1) wasn't all that impressed with it trying to break.  Since we'll be at 26th St. mañana, we'll let you know how things looks there! A nd why will we be at 26th St.?  For the annual Redondo vs Mira Costa surf contest!  Get your sorry ass down there to witness some damned good prep surfing and some excellent coaching as well, we might add... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... M ustaches were in profusion at the Donovan Frankenreiter show at the latest Beachfest.  Here (#1) we have a couple of gents who fit right in... M ore than just your average overcast.  We're calling this one cloudy and 5 miles visibility.  Winds were light onshore by 1 to 3kts and the sea surface was lightly textured.  The air temp was 57.3° and the water is 62.4° which  would be nice if the surf would cooperate.  High tide at 8:49am +4.1' and low tide will be at 2:10pm +1.0'.  It's a SSW swell out of 200° at 3.6' and the tide would have to have been quite a bit lower to make it break...  It  needed to  break before we  could fix it... R emember RUHS  vs Costa, this Friday, 6:30am at 26th St... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Lost Boys & Co... H ow did we get to Trotsky from Lev Davidovich Bronstein?  You start looking things up and who knows what y ou find!  Like he was assassinated by being hatcheted with an ice axe.  All the more unusual when you realize he was in Mexico at the time... P ut  away the ice axe, spring (May Gray) is coming to the South Bay.  It was overcast with 5 miles visibility  and onshore winds 1 to 3kts.  The sea surface was smooth.  The air temperature was 59.0° and the water is 60.6°.  High tide is at 7:54am +4.3' and low tide will be at 1:36pm +0.6'.  We  have a 4.9' SSW swell out of 200° at 4.3' and it was 3' to 5', but once again a high tide that shut things down for the most part. T he Professor's sled (#1), the ever popular "Wiggly Bus."  Mr. Wiggly just got a new clutch cable and there's nothing like crawling under a vintage VW bus for a little grease bath.  Let's see... he's got his wetsuit, surfboard, towels...
