Freaky Friday

Just got paid
Friday night
Crowd is jumpin’
Time is right.

Small but highly doable at local beaches this morning. 3ft 14seconds on the SF buoy.. but I think the long-period reading might be an aberration. It looks more like 3ft 8sec. out there. At 6:30 there was no wind. By 7 it was blowing gently onshore. The wind should continue to increase all day so get out it early if you have the opportunity.

I’m beginning to fiend for the surf really hard. I just want to drop in, pump and carve. I miss crouching down and trimming along at the end of a ride, trying to milk the wave to its final death throws. I miss hooting my friends into unmakeable closeouts. I miss hitting lips… or trying to. I don’t miss the crowds. I don’t miss duck-diving. I don’t miss huge wipeouts into 2 feet of water. Well.. I miss that a little bit. I miss the post-surf psychological warmth.

Cool. Thanks Reality Check and Neil for contacting me about venues for the niceness bash. You heads rock!

I travelled through time and space, past billions of particles and googolplexes of atoms to get these shots.

[darn.. it looks like the photos got currupted some how!? whattup with that?.. anyway.. one made it]

That reverse led zep phreaked me out.

Waves are small today. Gutless. We're gonna need a bigger board!

Homebreak was working last night. Got a bit crowded by 7pm though. Sean the lifegaurd was crackin it on his new longboard.

Posted by: Dennis at July 23, 2004 10:34 AM

jibjab hilarious. especially during the last election. jeezus has it really been four years?

dribblers out there. dribbling away. got a few that made me smile.

i second that big board idea. you are going to need every inch. not so you can get into waves, but so you dont sink when you stand up!

have a good day peeps

A few days ago, someone from Oaktown was looking for an apt. in the outer Richmond district. There's a place I noted in my 'hood. Here are the details:
2 BR, 1 bath, fireplace, free cable
$1700/mo. with Ocean View (a sweet one I might add). Contact 387-7141. It's a top or bottom flat (not sure). Good luck!!

nothing down south. wind already on it during my 5am alarm. yay.

anyone remember Masta Ace? e's first stanza reminded me of one of his old songs....bagel?

I just got paid...
It's Friday night...
I'm sittin on chrome...
And I'm feelin alright...

Posted by: hermosa at July 23, 2004 10:38 AM

saw e on the beach this morning. i was hoping you were going to paddle out. a good gentle day to get back on the horse. speaking of back how is it?

looks pretty crowded for a spot in south america.

Posted by: lerm at July 23, 2004 10:40 AM

OB: yup still small and gutless. Knee to tailbone w/sternum sets. Currently it looks even smaller than it did this am. Fun if ya don't mind those conditions. Eyes to the wind.

I am a big kook stoke: I got an elevator drop! I got an elevator drop! Tiny wave - maybe 3 feet - popped up at the top, wavelette sucked out, had that " Awww, #@$%!" moment - you know that oogy feeling...and the board dropped smack straight down, then continued the tiny ride until it mooshed out. Mini but it felt super solid. Pretty happy about that. Steep drops are wicked for me. Happened like that once, it'll happen again. Yay!

thedonk...classic! i always knew Britney was up to no good! (in all the right ways of course! ; ) the Beatles one was truly spine-tingling.

ss...nice!

Posted by: ck at July 23, 2004 10:55 AM

found some fun ones this morning. surprisingly clean lines with enough juice to power some turns on nice walls. actually went left...twice...and made turns (gasp!!).

three cheers to the guy out bodysurfing with no wetsuit this am from about 6:45-7:15. i don't know who he was, but he put me to shame with my earlier thinking that it was too cold and dismal to paddle out. BALLS!!

Posted by: can't go left at July 23, 2004 10:55 AM

lerm.. the spots near Lima actually get super crowded. i'm pretty sure that's where that photo is from.

my back is still sensitive. don't know when i'll return to the surf. I might take another week off.. rather take the time off now than in the fall. Plus! my guitar playing has been loving all this non-surf time.

Posted by: e at July 23, 2004 10:58 AM

I am an eyewitness to sharkbait's wave - from 50-75 yards away. Knew she'd be stoked on that one.

No wetsuit bodysurfer is a regular at that spot. That spot I will not name, but it is where Bill Hickey broke his neck in the late 60s.

Posted by: blakestah at July 23, 2004 11:08 AM

did the beach drive this morning - haven't suited up in a few days and didn't feel the love this morning. maybe as the tide fills in it will get better, but it's pretty weak out there.

e - you're not missing anything today. take it easy and work that hurt back pity - get a massage from some ultra vixen tonight.

Posted by: caveman at July 23, 2004 11:12 AM

Sharky- you go girl! Those drops that you make when you were absolutely sure you wouldn't are sooooo sweet. Nabbing victory from the jaws of defeat! And even if it was because of bad timing, not enough paddling, or whatever, you still sorta' look like you know what you're doing, right? HA! You'll be deeper in the pit than the 75 pound groms at the Lane before you know it!

My other favorite is the angled/steep take off where a couple of fins pop out of the water and you slide sideways down the face, but somehow recover.

Nice picture of "South America" -- I love to rip "South America" because I can ride my bike to it in winter. I wish the waves were like "South America" here today.

Shhh, it is a fucking secret spot nobody could ever possibly figure it out. I fart in your general direction.

Fake spot surf report:

Although the buoy data did not look promising, at the beach it was, in fact, DOH and clean. There were a couple aggro guys in the line-up at one point, but Free Willy swallowed them whole. He's the new "good vibe" enforcer. Unfortunately, the showers are broken, but the hot-tub seems to be holding up...even with all the extra traffic from the Reef Girls camped out there.

Posted by: Andrew on 44th at July 23, 2004 12:16 PM

i wimped out on buying that Super Reverb. It made some noise at volume. That thing might be too big and loud for me anyway.. i'm thinking of going for a Deluxe Reverb now. it's only 22 watts and has 1 12" speaker but everyone (harmony central, fenderforum.com, etc.) says it's the bomb and loud enough to gig in bars and small clubs without a PA.. any of you guitar heads have an opinion?

I used to play with a guy who used a Deluxe. Sounded good but was never loud enough for my taste. We played pretty loud.

What happened to the Traynor?

I've also heard some very good opinions of tone tubby speakers. Made with HEMP! A friend with a Mesa Boogie replaced the stock speaker with one of these and he said that he now has the sound he's been seaching for.

Posted by: e at July 23, 2004 12:45 PM

Trey uses 2 deluxe's, a black and a silver. Does that make up your mind E?

He also favors a boomerang, which is a fun toy. I imagine it takes on a whole new meaning when you can loop the shit out of some sick lines and watch 10,000 wookies trip balls over IT.

I myself ditched buying a blackface super and got the Mesa Blue Angel. Switchable between 6v6 @ 8 Watts, EL84 @ 15 Watts, and both together for 35 Watts. Haven't gotten it over 5 on volume with the 35 stage cause it is so damn loud. Cool to have the light, jazzier 6v6 for certain guitars and the EL84s for that sweet british break up with humbuckers.

e,

Have you ever plugged into one of those classic VOX amps. That is my dream amp, Vox Conqueror - 1967 always looking at garage sales for one.

Posted by: cadaver at July 23, 2004 01:05 PM

e, the Deluxe is probably pretty comparable to my Pro. It was fine for rehearsing and have-to-be-quiet gigs, but not enough bass punch for clubs. For shows I used to run a line off the speaker terminals (it's all pretty hazy now but I think I used a simple resistor bridge to bring it down to line level), and that into a homebrew setup with any old amp head (I think I used a Silvertone mostly) with the bass cranked driving a good 15" speaker in a biggish cabinet. So basically you get the sound of the Fender tubes and even the speaker coil distortion with the bass amped up; since the Fender is really defining the sound, the other stuff doesn't have to be primo quality. I think I got the idea of tapping the speaker terminals from Bob Mould :-). It was pretty loud, and clean enough when it needed to be. Anyway, getting the Deluxe as your main amp doesn't preclude adding more juice.

Congrats on the drop, sharkbait!!

Posted by: Klooless at July 23, 2004 01:08 PM

thanks kdalle and kookdom.. soo many amps, so little money!

kdalle - It's really interesting that you thought the deluxe reverb not loud enough. hmm.. that's my main concern with that amp and there's no way to really test it in the guitar shop. my current band is pretty fucking loud. that's part of the reason i'm looking for a new amp. Those Carr amps look sweet. I've heard other people mention them.. but none of them are very large or powerful so i wonder if they'd be any louder than the deluxe. the tone tubby speakers also look cool..

i was thinking about the trayner until this guy who used to work for trayner talked me out of them..

fuuuckk.. i wish the super reverb's weren't so damn heavy!!!

Posted by: e at July 23, 2004 01:08 PM

Scribble you are right on the money...it is where that fat, red-faced blonde GUY barks and blows takeoff after takeoff. He drinks too many Foster oil cans and basically needs to go back to LA.

Posted by: at July 23, 2004 01:13 PM

he's born and raised SF.

so ya can't blame LA

Posted by: at July 23, 2004 01:22 PM

He's not born and raised SF, but he is not born and raised LA either.

But really, making anonymous negative comments about other surfers who are not on the blog is in poor taste.

BTW, he doesn't prefer Foster's either. That's the short Australian-Polish red-faced guy that doesn't bark and blows takeoff after takeoff.

survey:
do all the shortboarders on this blog like to longboard when the waves are small?
what boards comprise your quiver?
next board?
me: i have just recently started to really enjoy the feel of a longboard. so much more fun to surf gutless waves.
5'6" mandala fish
7'6" coffey funboard
9'6" arrow boat that turns like its on rails (very straight rails)
want a bigger shortboard (pintail?/single-fin?) for heavier days

Posted by: tomstah at July 23, 2004 01:35 PM

e-you're right about the Super. I used one for years and then a Music Man 410 which was similar. Lots of gigging meant lots of lifting until we could afford a roadie. Then one day I sneezed and ruptured a disk.

At the risk of sounding all preachy...protect your back, protect your ears. Maybe get the Deluxe and turn down the whole band. I always found that the best guitarists can get beautiful tone at low volume. I think I used to compensate for lack of talent by crankin' it to 11.

BTW, a former bandmate of mine started an organization thats worth paying attention to;

Posted by: tomstah at July 23, 2004 01:42 PM

I don't really consider myself a shortboarder, I'll ride a longboard anytime, but when the waves lack guts you get much longer rides on something with more float.

Come to think of it, you get much longer rides on days when the waves are better on something with more float.

There is a cure for shitty fin systems....speaking of which, sold another unit today.

Posted by: blakestah at July 23, 2004 02:05 PM

E, if you've got a bad back, a Super Reverb won't help, unless you've got the Reef crew helping you lug it around. I had a friend in Detroit who played a Delux Reverb and ran another smaller Gibson (sometimes a Supro) off it. It'll give you stereo sound, and it was pretty kickass if I may say so. The other option: I've got a Dual Showman head that was gutted...it was refilled with the guts from a Fender Twin Reverb (pre-CBS, of course). It's f*cking amazing. Loud, crisp, reverby. You're a creative guy, I'm sure you'll find a sound solution. If you had a Delux, you could even run a Bassman head combo off it. That'll give you plenty of power when you need to turn up the volume. Go for tone. Sounds the the Super Reverb had a few bad caps. They are sweet though. Hound Dog Taylor used one with his cheapo TESCO guitar and created some down-and-out ass-shakin' tunes. Another suggestion: become a lead singer. A friend (who was a singer) once joked about load-ins: "All you gotta load in is your big c*ck." Keep rockin' in the free world...

Posted by: amigoism at July 23, 2004 02:07 PM

So my friend Rich (scarface) was living in some hell hole in Texas and playing drums in a local garage ban. Someone brings by this guy to jam. Plays lead guitar really well, Rich says to himself. Fast foward to 1983 and the release of Texas Flood. Yep, it was Stevie Ray. There's a story to tell the grandkids.

What a loss that was. He sobered up, cleaned up, and then died in a friggin' helicopter crash. I still remember the female DJ on KFOG crying when she made the announcement. And the memorial concert where even Clapton was having a hard time with some of his riffs. Surf like it's the last time.

Posted by: HIGHWAY SURFER at July 23, 2004 02:36 PM

Figure it out DUDE

Posted by: at July 23, 2004 02:38 PM

Highway Surfer, the period in time refers to the length of time before some kook will drop in on you. The larger the swell, the larger the time period. Thus, the larger the swell, the longer it will be before a kook drops in on you due to the challenging surf conditions. The smaller the swell, the shorter the period, thus be prepared for a kook drop in any second. Hope this helps.

thanks for the amp comments kdalle and amigoism! sounds like both of you know what's up in the jamming department. sick. Though i would love to fantasize myself a rock star, in reality i only play a few gigs a year and mostly just jam my face off in the studio. sooo.. the deluxe might suit my needs.. though.. hmm.. it would suck to be rocking at the fillmore and have nobody be able to hear my shit.. haa!!

anonomous poster - Lima is the best! hee hee. what do pictures on the internet have to do with localism?

Highway surfer - check out stormsurf.com, they have a tutorial somewhere in their website that's super informative. The "period" is the average distance (measured in time) between two waves. Soo.. this morning the SF buoy read 14 seconds between waves. I'm not sure all the details of how it desides which waves to count as the waves to measure the time between.. maybe waves of the average height??

Posted by: e at July 23, 2004 03:06 PM

Posted by: at July 23, 2004 03:24 PM

the lima pic was really cool e, your contribution to localism is this: you took it down. why did you take it down? did your cranium bulge with a request from a local "local" (or a local tranny acting like he thinks a "local" should act) to stop exposing the urban jewels?

don't become such a tranny e. are you selling out niceness so you can get waves at deadmans next winter?

Posted by: at July 23, 2004 03:29 PM

The donk's picture deserves a caption: "The new O'Neil 9/8 fully hooded wetsuit with liquid seams. Just don't eat a burrito before wearing."

E- I vote to delete the uber-aggro stuff and let us pretend that we live in a niceness world. I've met so many fantastic people surfing that I'm convinced there's not many angry types. How can one love surfing and be so negative??? Hell, it's your site; you can decide content. This ain't no democracy.

Posted by: bagel at July 23, 2004 03:31 PM

I like my tutorial better.

http://www.blakestah.com/surf/prediction.html

Waves travel in wave groups, that have a specific energy - described by the wave period. Today, there are mostly 7-9 second period waves, and a few 14 second period waves. The longer the period, the higher the energy and velocity of the waves. The 14 second energy has been predicted on my site for about a week, it came from a weak southern hemi storm. But its angle will not allow anyplace except those REALLY well exposed to the south to show, and it is only 1.5 ft in height. The buoy reads 3 ft 14 seconds because the total sum height of the buoy is 3 ft and the strongest component is the 14 second period. But, you probably will not notice any long period waves.

WRT the blog, as it gets bigger, there are a few ways to handle it. Ultimately, people will start faking posting as other people. The usual step is to force registration to post, which makes it impossible to post as someone else, and lets you track someone's identity through time.

Keeping surf spots out will be tough - there are too many people who do not think about the impact of their actions. If I say the sand bar is really good at Lower Fort Funstron right now, hundreds of people read it, and if only a few of them check it out, the cat's out of the bag. Posting something here is NOT the same as telling your friends - it is like telling your friends with 300 people you do not know eavesdropping.

Now that sounds downright unfriendly, but you probably treat your friends differently from how you treat people you do not know. You can be nice and encouraging and NOT TELL PEOPLE WHERE TO GO SURF.

Then you see anonymous insults directed at your friends from people who do not know them out of the water, and it gets REAL irritating. Can't we all just get along?? Like, I mean, BVB never dropped in on me at the Safeway, he's a downright decent fellow. Same with the big red-faced guy - he's super nice and has helped me out innumerous times on issues relating to surfing and other things in life. He does BARK a lot, though, even at me and his other friends/acquaintances. No one gets a free pass, it's all part of his charm.

I hereby declare this weekend to be "share a wave log weekend". Everyone is encouraged to ride a log and share a wave and hoot and holler the other riders on. Spread a little niceness.

Good vibes in this hear place until some dumbass thinks he is better then the rest.

Track their IP addresses, get their email addresses then let's spread the "love". The good thing about the 'net, everything is trackable!

Put the shot of Lima back up! That was a really cool shot.

Posted by: You Know My Name at July 23, 2004 03:44 PM

Ok... ok - the shot of Dead's is no big deal like anyone around here doesn't know ? Duh - already crowded so what the *%^*!
E - actually do you have any pics of the surf in Chile?

Find YOUR OWN place in the lineup - be respectful of others and have fun. NO drop-ins. Respect yourself and others will respect you.
Try surfing V'land all casual and happy?! Crowd is Not Fun but WHAT A WAVE!

As for all the chumps be postin BV-like diatribes to you I say keep trying - these dotcomsurferguys here are too nice even to respond to the slightest bit of surfing related negativity - they seem content to gloss over (delete) it by conversing about their dead head jobs, office cubicle dims, board length, surf reports, music, art, inflatable dry suits and high gloss fine ass Reef girls - go for it - free world.
From now on don't complain about your personal hatred or dislike or bring up incidents in the water as it will only fuel the just below the surface negativity.
The next 40 days or is the long stretch...
hang in there - we'll make it!

So E, please forgive those who have trespassed agianst your niceness blog. Even me at times...
All this banter about locals and tranny's and invaders and all that, is kind of a mute point these days. Travel anywhaere and you will run into the same darned thing.

The only harm I see here is in informing people OUT THERE about how good it might be on any given day OUT HERE - thus making the surfing waves (and parking) a bit more crowded.

Posted by: at July 23, 2004 03:56 PM

Posted by: B.V.B at July 23, 2004 03:57 PM

yo -

i just want to say I think it's MAJOR BS to give E a hardtime and say he's "selling out niceness to get waves in Lima". E is a sensitive and intelligent person who simply does his best to balance the needs and desires of all when dealing with these complicated questions of surf crowding and localism. He understands his report can have an effect on local conditions, and therefore chooses to act as responsibly as he can. So if he's chilled out on naming spots or posting pics, it's only in an effort not to offend anyone. He wants to share in the good Surf vibes, and knows we don't need to name spots to do that. Maybe anonymous is right that territorial people are stupid, but the problem is not our talented and cool site host, it's the surfing community's attitude about the waves we ride but fail to share.

E is niceness, and has nothing but love and respect to share with his fellow ocean goers.

If you want to do something constructive, share some waves. I'd personally like to see more of us working on 2 people riding a wave together. And remember: You don't own the playground -- and respect those who want to play next to you. Waves only last a few seconds... just like life... it all ends and we all catch our last ride some day... how was your attitude while privileged enough to dance?

Pics on the internet = localism when you use them to prevent others from sharing waves.

Yes, I use and enjoy your site, but I agree that it's hard to watch you start with good ideals only to join the local club and push the bad ideals. Call posts like this "negative" if you want, but the fact is your site is not niceness anymore-unless you are one of the selfish surfers out there. Then it's a fine way to share inside stories and boast about your surfing exploits.

Why bother with a post like this?, because this kind of behavior is not just happening in surfing, it's everywhere and it would improve if people were more sharing.

Looking forward to fall and winter, when I will continue to share waves--not just on a 2 foot slop day as blake encourages.

im so tired i havent slept a wink,
im soo tired my mind is on the brink,
i wonder should i go out and get my self a drink?

dont mind if i do, so long suckers..

On second look - you want something load. The Super 60 isn't. Delete!

Posted by: Dennis at July 23, 2004 04:52 PM

Dennis.. kick me an email at cranial_bulge@yahoo.com

I'd love to check out your amps. that would by tight!!!

J.O.C. - i'm not sure if i deserve the things you said.. but thanks homie!

"not blake or 3x5 or kdalle" i'm still not sure exactly what you're getting at.. but.. that's cool..

I've never mentioned this.. but.. the whole "niceness" thing is actually just a coincidence. N.I.C.E.N.E.S.S is actually a reggae song that my college friends and i used to sing. I think that Pato Banton sings it. We used to say, "niceness" as a slang word, like, "Hey Deni, mind if i snack on some of your pretzels? no? cool, niceness." I purchased the niceness.org url to stoke out my college friends. I think it was sharkbait or some early blog participant that started associating the idea of "being nice" to the moral norm of this online surf community.

have an awesome weekend headies! catch some waves all those who can't.

That mouse pic is the best thing since sliced bread!

I was reading this site for about 6 months until I figured out there was a comments section.

On wave theory: MIT has free notes on-line. Think of it as saving $30,000 a year and not having to be surrounded by Red Sox fans.

Ya know where I am. Drive south was fun but I got sidelined for a bit at Lot P south of HMB. I told ya Kaiser!


Posted by: Lizard Bruce at July 24, 2004 07:29 AM

Bruce...sweet pics! hope you got sum o' dat fo yoself, too!

e...it may not have been the original intention behind the URL, but you and the vast majority of the community here exude "niceness" spirit...both in their comments and, from my experience, in their actions. this is a chill group of ocean lovers spreading pos vibe and you have helped bring them together through this site and your attitude.

"not blake or 3to5 or kdalle"....i like what i interpret as the motivation behind/spirit of your comment. anyone who's willing to share when the conditions are sweet is a generous spirit fo'shur! the only thing that i'd disagree with is your position that deciding not to post pictures of "sensitive" spots and being a little vague about the loc of sensitive spots is a form of localism. everyone is entitled to their own opinion (of course), but, for me, niceness is about your vibe and your actions. letting others to discover which spot is best in which conditions is all part of the adventure...an adventure that some on this blog have been on for a long time and others, like me, are still figuring out.

hope all you heads score something fun on this weekend of smallness. peace.

Posted by: ck at July 24, 2004 08:01 AM

Jeez, why are all you so sensitive to a negative comment or two? HELLO? This is Northern California, home of the grumpy, irritated surfer who needs to try spending a month off the weed. It's been this way for a while folks, and putting an annonymous website up dedicated to the holy land is going to scouer some of the inner most feelings of some.

So fuck ya all!

STRAUNCH
SLURP
SCHWAGGLE
Wish I had a pic of me drinking a can full of guava juice flies one hot afternoon at Punta Abrejo's' - reached into the cooler, pulled the can out and drank;
-um'likeit'slike a right breaking wave in a small town featured in an old TSJ. Long strenctch of beach running S to N. Then the point and the bay south 2 miles.

General consensus amungst the mini-g's in my hood is
""WHHHHAAAAT?????????, What is nice.ness?!.origamieweed, -what!? what are you talking about 'Bad Vibe'????///?, JESUS.' Twitchy Face.
Staring Driver.
When I tell them about this here b.sbanter they get mad.
We roll our eyes reading the cute little surfing stories of how bitchen OB is like it was this morning at 6am - few people out in the CLEAN ankle slappers - like "the old days," duffers, stubbynosedshortboarders and old men on longboards wearing beavertail wetsuits. Then it got bigger with the incoming tide - when I left it was increasing with sets to 5 ft. in from the south - perfect direction. Plenty of parking.
Fun bowls all over the place and no crowd today!!!!!.
WEEEEEEEEE
Ceaslessendless fog - so many days gone by that we did not write about. But now you are.

Posted by: at July 24, 2004 02:38 PM

but then you post...dying to be be heard?

and to have something to talk about?

and everyone loves it when they see their name on the internet?

bad vibe bob...the nice guy at safeway.

how scared should we be?

Posted by: at July 24, 2004 07:42 PM

I surfed with a friend this morning. It reminded me how much good surfing has to do with good friends. I don't care how many negative posts show up on this blog. Delete them all, E. Niceness rules.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Owing to construction, Linda Mar has been moved for the weekend to Ocean Beach. Please make a note of it.
