E's Surf Report

arrr, skunked again. low tide + small swell + onshore tempest = wasted time & gas and no surf for me. arrrrh.

i wonder how far north/south the 'wind zone' is for these onshores? anybody??

bagel's art kicks ass.

e....i'm up for the long-underwear, chanting, bonfire ritual if it will help! well...'cept maybe the "forgo the pleasures of the body for multiple lifetimes" part. that seems a bit drastic...even in June. ; )

bagel...sic art, indeed!! when's your next show?

While dancing around the fire in our long underwear, wasted off of cheap tequila, I suggest we sacrifice something.

How about Gumby (No offense Gumby but Im just bummed that you and not I seem to be catching all the waves). Any other suggestions??

OB sounds like a mess, so I guess I picked a good week to be away, but I actually miss not only the frequency and availability of those steely waves, but also the workout. Here at a popular place a ways south, I was happy to discover that dp = diminished popularity. Only one surfer in sight, preceding me down the bluff by a few seconds. We had all the peeling waist-to-chest rights we wanted for half an hour (not as zippy as yesterday, but still fun) until a gaggle of interlopers arrived and simultaneously the waves lost size and consistency. Then it became what I guess is a needed lesson in jockeying for position and staying out of folks' way. But it's very difficult to get any kind of workout surfing here: the paddles out are trivial, and even if you crank on them you're waiting at least five minutes for another crack at a wave. I will return to OB soft and weak and will have penance to pay.

i'm over the morning sessions around here now, there's really no point. at least in the afternoons it's sunny. got some shitty/fun ones yesterday after work.

bagel you the man, definitely some inspiration to start drawing again.

gumby didn't get in today, said the offshores are killing it.

soooo...i present to you the most feared bounty hunter in the land....BOBA smurFETTe!!

Kirk to transporter room ...baja por favor

clarification: the onshores are killing it. if there were offshores he'd be killing it.

Kook, I was down in San Diego county yesterday. Great waves and long rides and I even had the niceness vibe in the lineup. I did notice that it really was not the the workout that I have come to expect from Surfing. As was evidenced by the two dudes who were 230lbs or more making what appeard to be their daily trek on 10' logs.

I am off to drive as far south as it takes right now...

ya, sacrafice is a must..if your gonna get all copius..

thanx for the props dogs..

i just finished putting together a little mini comic about surfing..free to niceness homies..ill have a bunch after this weekend

that is some cool art, bagel. got any shows coming up, or any stuff currently on display?

grr is right e. i rose at 5:45, and in retrospect should have waited just a few more minutes as today's early surfpulse report would have sent me back to bed. instead i made the drive to a hacked ob, and then down the coast all the way to pimpmoonbay, where i acknowledged defeat. might have ventured out at lindy or montara or the micro-jet if i had the log with me, but it was generally piddly and depressing out there. chris the surfline reporter must have had the rose-colored shades this morning - maybe next he'll be saying that Saddam is hosting an exhibit of his leftover WMDs for all his old al Qaeda colleagues in the surf zone at OB ... don't believe the hype!

stormsurf update from yesterday calls for the next swell to peak at 2.7 ft 15 secs on sunday, but as kaiser-stah noted yesterday, local winds are also forecast to be cranking up by then. sigh.

on the bright side, june will soon be past history, fletch...

Hey Bagel , nice art work. I've seen your work before. Here are pics from the north, Blakestah helped with the forecasts and there was a huge swell that we were unable to find a sweet spot for. Here is an excerpt frrom the impending story....

Far away from Southern California lies a land without strip malls and freeways. The land is vast and green and trees as tall as skyscrapers replace the buildings and cities. The beaches, coves and points are endless and desolate. The sun rarely shines and the clouds rise above the frigid waters and keep the wild coast lush and moist. Surfing in this part of the world often involves long hikes, year-round cold water, large predators, magical landscapes and sometimes very unfriendly locals.
Look at a map and it is clear that Northern California starts north of the Golden Gate Bridge. The main highway north of San Francisco stays well inland, far from the jagged coast. Finding waves in the North is not easy, the surf is hard to get to, and it’s rarely working. Many of the better spots are on long, narrow, dirt roads that take an hour or more to get to. After the drive a hike of a mile or more is often necessary just to see if a spot is breaking. If a certain spot is not working, there is no driving up the coast to the next spot. You’ve got to turn around and make your way back to the highway and down another long road to the next surf spot. Granted, the drive and the hikes are gorgeous, tall redwoods, madrone and big leaf maple trees line the roads and trails along the coast. I’ve learned to look at the surf as a gift in the north, the icing on the cake. You can get a wonderful hike through the woods… but only occasionally will you be greeted by perfect olive green cylinders.

Anyhow, feedback is appreciated... Off to Costa Sunday

A couple of Pacific Northwest pics from a few days ago

rad stuff Mexi!!

damn....this mo-fo ripped my homie carlos....

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2004/06/24/DDG6P7AB9G1.DTL

tom.. that reviewer is an idiot.

Mexi...enjoy the Rich Coast.

Go often to the town named after a high end tequila for a ride to those 2 reefs!.

Tom, Yeah that reviewer is a shmuck, and I'm bringing some nice fishing lures as a gift to my buddy with a boat.... i'm on those reefs!

OB: tiny enough to make shortboarding drops highly improbable, hard onshore and 2 foot mush or crossed up 2 foot closeouts inside making longboard paddling rather obnoxious. Great combo! BUT for the perpetually optimistic, if one is silly enough, leave the pride at home and very odd, uh, "rides" are quite possible. Maybe 5 people in and out today, varying board sizes. Consider it cold water meditation. Gumby would be ripping it up.

mexi....tantilizing tale. nice.

sick PNW pics, the lighting reminds me of early morn/evening sesh's in the fall back home.

re: transporters, what about this?

great tale mexi, my buddy lives up there on the lost coast, beautiful area. he is blessed with ******* just over the last mountain range from his little valley. there is a tiny break around those parts but the really cool thing about ******* is the ability to launch your boat and access miles and miles of coastline. I am trying to get him to buy a boat so I can come up there for a nice exploration. he knows all the locals and that helps up there, especially for any metropolitan guy like me. anyway, I am gonna try and do this in some fall conditions.

I used to go to school in Oregon and I always heard from many people that the ******* and ******* locals are very protective. never surfed up there myself, was too into snowboarding at the time. but that is a seriously rugged area.

delete names please, e.

its good enough for jerry lopez, and the goonies..

nice shots mexi!

thanks e.

Klooless- Exactly right, SC will spoil you. My body was once a finely tuned engine of rippling muscles and flexibility. Now, the results of those easy paddle outs and forgiving duck dives has changed my body-as-a-temple to a body-as-a-laundromat-in-the-low-rent-district.

Bagel- how do we buy your stuff?

Mexi- beautiful pics, man. Lessons for bruce when you return.

OK, who knows the UFO below? (This is an easy one.)

someplace less windy than here.

Thanks peeps, and Bruce, that's E...

ls - oh my, that last pic!! wow!

Are those last pix from Bali?

That photo is also of a spot less LINDY than here.

P-town offered up a fun, relaxin' session yesterday evening. Hope some fellow peeps enjoyed the spectacular sunset. San Francisco really is one of the most beautiful cities.

A friend of mine got a free 10-footer yesterday, but has serious delam issues. Anyone know of a site/link that can point to making it bouyant once again?

those pics are all from the ments. my guesses from the angles and water color are bankvaults, e-bay, and lance's left.

check out sickshots.com. My friend Dave Collyer gave up his job, marraige, etc, bought a digital camera and laptop, and set out on the road. He's supported himself by selling surf shots to travellers. He's now on a continuous g-land, ments, and north shore loop. Doing 6 months hard time on Jordan's Saraina Koat boats in the ments this season. How's that for a job?

Here's some of his g-land stuff from last season:

speed reef.

finger drag.

my "bring back the eighties" color scheme

thank god I have a job now, and I don't have to spend 2 months surfing g-land, like last year!

Keep saying that Lewis and maybe you can convince yourself. Sweet pics Lewis, you rip!

as a wee lad we always built sand castles on the beach when the waves sucked

bring your shovel to OB tonite for that longjohn druid dance

bagel...niiiiiicee!! shieett I forgot to talk to you about the jdz family portrait commission last time i saw you...one of these days...what are your rates anyway.

I want to dance like a druid in the pale moon light on the beach, drunk out of my skull on tequila. can anyone watch my kids???

damn...viewed sickshots.com and i'm pretty sure i will need a new computer as I just drooled all over this one. me want boat trippy!

flat spell antidotes....

growing up surfing on the outer banks
the flat spells were looooooonnnggggggg.
like june to sept. the best thing to do for
this is to get piss drunk. i mean falling down,
drive the porceline bus, sell a fleet of buicks,
wake up with cold tile and a grid on your face
drunk.

this almost without fail brought waves.
and when i was 19 i could surf those waves.....

the union suit/ boone's farm sponsored bonfire
sounds perfect.

when and where?

sickshots.com is well... sick. That guy gets around!

korewin- i'm with you ---anticipated seven second evening glass off forcasted tonite at 8:37 sunset. grab your long board and paddle out don't want to miss the wave (hopefully) set of the day. fire up the bombfire and mad dogg 20 20 imediately thereafter are snowboard long underwear ok for dancing? don't have any of the red flannel trap door type ---- can't say where, on account of were not sposed to name locations somebody just pick a spot... we'll find the flames

that pic of lewis in the barrel at G-land makes me want to get barrelled.

anybody else feelin' like this?

better than the trap door style would be:

some adult sized pajamas with the feet
you know the ones little vinyl pads on the
bottom. hear they work well on coral too.

too cold in sf for underoos.
although the aquaman ones are dope.
wish that t-shirt still fit.......

j —does that motivation meter go into
the negative?

mexisurf -- Dave the sickshot.com guy has the benefit of shooting perfect surf day in and day out, and he's shooting digital, so he can just shoot and shoot and shoot....

Seems like you're trying to go for the more fleeting moments, in fickle areas, shooting slide film. Which as I'm sure you know is a low-return game.

But you've gotten some gems with much richer color tones. It's a shame that the scans of your slides don't usually do them justice... You should do a slideshow when you get back from your travels.

Are you shooting any digital these day? I'm still shooting slides, but I've considered making the switch.

Lewis, still shooting slides, I will go digital when I can get 11 megapixels for a reasonable price, and I think even then I'll shoot slides on magical days.

It's that time.....

Speaking of slides-
Does anyone know where to get Fuji Velvia in SF for Cheap? (Bulk)

mexi do you use the 50 or the 100F

Velvia fresh and cheap... some places are cheaper, but none fresher.

http://bhphotovideo.com/

I've tried the 100 and I'm back on the 50, I usual overexpose by .3 stops.

bhphoto is a legit operation, too, unlike a lot of the cheaper places. if you're ever in NY you should check out their retail store, it's a different kind of place - all of the employees had these little pigtails coming from the side of their yamulkas. i can't remember what the term for it was though? oh, and their prices in store are the same as online.

i surfed in santa cruz county all morning and most of the afternoon. it was pretty glassy the whole time. when i exited the water (mid-town) at two o'clock, there had actually been a light offshore blowing for the last hour and it seemed like it was going to continue. my apologies to all the OB heads.

Thanks for the info- BH has everything.

I was always concerned that they pass package mail through those huge/ high power X-rays

As these rolls will travel half way around the world, many airport scans, I always have passed on the film mail order.

Any comments?

I like your artwork bagel. That broccoli guy looks a bit like me. That's why I wear a helmet. It's time for another trip. I'm heading down south for the long weekend. Maybe set my sites on a salty creek somewhere south of LA. Hope I can find a campsite this close to the holiday.

BH Photo in NYC is a must stop for any NY Trip. The store is run by Hasidic Jews. They all have the yalmucka (sp?) and hair thing going. The NY accents are to die for and there is a weird overhead cage system which delivers goods from one end of the store to the other. As Friday sunset nears they ring an electronic bell and you better get your Gentile ass outta there or the Sabbath will roll over you like a 2,000 pound security gate. Shalom.
And Bruce, I am way too old to rock, I cruise...but thanks anywho

now i've heard it all

floating bombs

Rocky got me up at 5:30 this morning (Friday) at the homestead on Portrero Hill so I made the drive to E's Beach. Didn't seem windy on my side of Twin Peaks, but it was blowin' once again in the aves. Sorry, I know you OB Homies are jonesin'.

Me? It's Friday and when the going gets tough, the tough head south for the weekend.
