E's Surf Report

what did i win?

Congrats, you won a day at work!

Only the esteem of those present.

i'm truly blessed. Hb, the nooks and crannies must be up to something down your way??

E, good sound. Post more as they come.

thanks tsm. rock on.

who scored waves this morning?

Kaiser, regarding your display streeming video on TV question yesterday. I have tried multiple iterations of the process to no avail. Resolution and refresh rates of tv screens are totally different than computer monitors. If you have a DVI output on your computer and a DVI input on your TV, that is a start in the right direction. Otherwise, you will be looking at blurry video made worse by bad transfer from teh video card.

E,
Excellent music. They are both great jams/songs.
Keep it up. Gracius.

Nice E. Time to hit the club circuit.

Are you going to the right coast this holiday? I'm going to try to hit it in NJ. Looks like a short swell will be arriving around the 27th and expect to be hooking up with a North Jersey guy while I'm out there.

Brrrr. Water temp 45, Air temp 32.

Cole dropped in on my at M _ B_T_ _ T _B's this morning.

I only got 2 waves. Water was clean, pretty warm, a wierd warble about half way through, not much wind, it did come up strong a few times. Otherwise, pretty mellow.

i've had "playing with foam" stuck in my head for the last hour. groovy grooves E

kaiser sose, been there, did that. Here's how...

I have a projector. Pulled the URL for the ASP webcast, full-screened it, and ran it out the video out on my laptop to the projector, which is the equivalent of three component video output. With a DVD this process gives better image on the projector than VHS or straight video signal can.

However, what is the point of taking highly compressed video and blowing it up? So you can see the pixelation on the big screen? I don't think it is worth blowing up any bigger than half a laptop screen, really. But if you want to do it...go for it.

This issue is the reason I got the DVD BUMPS. I've seen all the Surfvid.com content over the last few years, and am a friend of the video guy. But when you get the DVD you have DVD resolution, uncompressed, video of NorCal surf over the past five years. Good OB days, good Pacifica days, a few contests including the last Mavs contest.

Uh...did anybody notice the CA buoy hit 30ft this morning? I'm going to paddle out at Mavs tomorrow morning before dawn, on my 6'4"...
Who's with me?!

Timmy Turner in a month-long coma

We (surfline) received this letter from Jessica, Timmy Turner's wife:

I am just letting you know that Timmy is in the hospital very seriously sick. He had brain surgery on Sat. night.

He is still in serious condition.

He will be in a coma for the next month.

He had gotten Staph infection throughout his body and through part of his brain.

I am just asking you to put him in every prayer you pray. Pass along the word so that everyone you know can pray too! I'm sorry you had to hear this way.

His loving wife, Jessica

Shameless Bstah. ;^) But I too have the video.

wow that is a huge bummer. poor guy.

timmy turner

so sad. what happened? keeping thinking of his sweet little blond face and funny socal accent in "off the map" is that what it was called?

timmy turner's "second thoughts"

Serious bummer about Timmy. The chronicles of his travels are well worth viewing. The general vibe they evoke is a genuine love of surfing, travel and the people he has met. Having been to some sketchy places over the years, I know how hard it can be sometimes to stay healthy; but this points out how important it is to stay on top of all those little cuts, scrapes, bug-bites and funky fish dinners. He's in my prayers.

no "burning the map" is the one i was thinking of. he was younger, bright faced, innocent. hanging out with the local kids in indo.

The charging charger is with you Surfseeker.

speaking of charging chargers..i feel this post from last night should be posted again because of its extreem funny-ness. dot gonners, oy ve.

yeah, we named it. we're big, we're cold and we're nasty, just like the waves we ride. We are the SUNSET RIDERS and when we're not at our computers geeking we're throwing buckets and turning heads. And if KCLB doesn't like it we'll hack their Suicide Girls accounts. We're tranny and proud. And you thought we were dot goners.

this "owned" guy needs to get owned.

Owned, Did you just post a pic of a child being punched in the face? What is wrong with you?

dude, take a number..

and you are retarded

in a nice way though..

E, I really like the groove of the band. That lead singer gets a annoying with his grunting but maybe that comes out better live. Didn't you have a girl lead before?

Well, off to low tide. And yes 3to5, going to check a spot that might enjoy this very W swell the next coupla days.

Timmy deep in the local culture...

thanks for the feedback HB.. yeah.. we used to have a female singer but she pulled the premadonna move on us and only wanted to play her music.. it's a long story. This new singer is the drummer from my old band. He's not really a singer, per se.. but.. none of us can sing very well so he's been filling the roll.

have fun shredding!!! jealous.

headed to puerto vallarta area over xmas with the fam. thinking the westerly angle of these swells will help for some surf down there. anyone familiar with the area that would want to share which spots will be picking up these series of swells?

WHAT???

here's a more detailed message on timmy turner...

Below is the email that was passed along to us:

To All: Timmy Turner had a sinus infection that he knew nothing about. His infection spread into his brain, hence the 103 temp (fever) and had to be induced into unconciousness (HE IS NOT IN A COMA) because he was trying to pull out his IV and and breathing tubes in his sleep. An MRI was performed this afternoon and Dr.'s and family are waiting for results at this time. His Dr.'s are saying he may make a full recovery but there is the risk of brain damage from the fever..........at this point they are optomistic because Timmy is young and strong. I just spoke to his immediate family to get this update.

nice work on the axe, e.

Nice tunes, e, congrats!
Good luck with your album Tait
Hope that dude heals up fast- staph is serious stuff.

Damn, I wasn't so busy, a trip to SB the next few days might be epic, 10 days too early (for me)!

mmm mmm good

hey PV,
you will be at a good spot in mex for these swells. Anywhere in the PV region should have waves. Swell direction is good for PV area.

dude, berkeley is going to be going off tomorrow.

stop kissin' the dude's ass... it's obvious.

ha! thanks for the honesty. agree on the mediocrity.. that might be putting it nicely.

surrf.

It's prima donna
not pre-madonna (sorry, I'm over 21)

In an email received by Surfing Magazine today, it was revealed that Huntington Beach pro surfer and legend Timmy Turner was admitted to the hospital with a serious sinus infection.

Below is the email that was passed along to us:

To All: Timmy Turner had a sinus infection that he knew nothing about. His infection spread into his brain, hence the 103 temp (fever) and had to be induced into unconciousness (HE IS NOT IN A COMA) because he was trying to pull out his IV and and breathing tubes in his sleep.

Say a prayer and think good thoughts for Timmy and his family.

SURFING will bring you more information as it becomes available.

Sinus infections crossing the brain barrier is quite rare. It's probably hard for some people to imagine a sinus infection going unnoticed like that, but it happens. The infection comes and goes, can linger for months with or without obvious symptoms, then even occasionally "hides" a little while in the back or deep/upper sinuses waiting for an opportunity.

My ENT discusses this with me, so the source is reliable. The infection can be treated with injectable antibiotic, but it might take a while to take it down. I really feel sorry for this guy, it's one of those sneaky little nightmare scenarios we all have to deal with as surfers.

Looks like Ambrose is in business, anyone know the prices$$?

Anybody else thinking of driving South tonight to catch some clean swell tomorrow?

web,

trying to figure out if i should bring a bigger board (6' 10") in addition to my regular shortboard, which is good for waves up to about a foot or two overhead. whatchya think?

I know the blank prices as of 12/7/2005 (the blank prices are increased 25% from his 8/15/2005 prices the day after Clark folded).

Too many blanks in the list, to name here but I guess I could fax a few people the blank prices.

As for the shaping prices, they are based on size of the blank and number of cuts performed.

Sample:

Up to a 7'8"
1 no rail cuts = 30.00
2 top rail cut, no bottom rail cut = 33
3 standard 24 cuts = 36.00
4 fine 32 cuts = 40.00
5 Super 40 cuts = 43.00
6 All time 60 cuts = 47.00

Longer boards cost more, short boards cost less.

swell press release that says Turner in a coma on 12/19

http://forums.surfline.com/showthread.php?t=25913

By the way, I am not a doctor but this date certain sounds weird

"He will be in a coma for the next month."

It's a doctor induced coma to keep him from pulling the tubes out of his nose and throat.

e - nothing against the music, but I think people who fawn over anything someone they look up to does needs a dose of personality.

lol. pwned.

dude- look before you leap

internet grammer is ghey. most internet flamers talk way gooder in real life.

Heard this swell is going to be large. You dudes think I should bring the funboard instead of the softtop i usually ride? Do you attach the funboard differently to the roof? Thanks dudes.

fins in back for funboards in front for thrusters.

what happened to those fun head high offshore peaks of yeasterweek?

What's worse: fawning, or whining about fawning?

Jeesh -- Can an epoxy resin shaper get a table dance?

Presently I am fawning over slobbering...i mainly surf on surfline.

"Can an epoxy resin shaper get a table dance?"

Dude that was totally stolen from Jimmie (I think). Its funny, but give credit.

Seems like you men need a war.

Holy shit from sfgate:

(12-20) 18:01 PST WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) --

A 12-foot shark attacked the boat of a New Zealand team competing in a trans-Atlantic race on Tuesday, rocking the vessel and leaving the rowers "shell shocked."

"We were really scared," rower Tara Remington said on the Team Sun Latte Web site. "It was so aggressive and persistent, for a while we wondered if it would ever stop."

The shark battered the boat for 15 minutes, forcing Remington and teammate Iain Rudkin into the well of the 24-foot Woodvale Pairs class ocean rowing boat.

"It just kept hitting the boat, having a go at the rudder, the sea anchor and hull. We weren't sure it wasn't biting holes in the underside so we rang the support ship Aurora for advice and possible assistance," Remington said.

The support ship arrived about six hours later.

Remington and Rudkin are one of 26 teams competing in the 2,550-nautical mile Atlantic Rowing Race from the Canary Islands to Antigua.

After the support ship arrived and examined the boat, Remington and Rudkin continued, subsequently reporting that they had pulled within 8 nautical miles of the lead boat in the mixed pair division, Row4Cancer.

The New Zealand Herald newspaper said Remington and Rudkin were about 600 miles from the Canary Islands riding out a strong headwind when the attack occurred.

"The unprecedented attack continued unabated over the next 15 minutes leaving the rowers shell shocked," the Team Sun Latte Web site said.

Rudkin said on the Web site that he considered taping a flare to a cooking gas canister, "and trying to shoot it 'Jaws' style, but thought better of it."

seriously
change the name of the band
HAHAHAHAHAAH

no
seriously
so bad

p.s.
you kno when the BO is as big as the OB all you lame bitches aint chargin SHIT

I saw the SF. footage on Surfline.

they be waves if you look. Definitely nothin fancy, but what the heck

PSA: They might want to dump some more sand down at 2nd lot!

Possible Monster Storm #7
This to be the closest thing to a full on El Nino-like winter storm we've seen in quite a while, assuming it develops as the models depict. This large storm is to track off Japan on Thursday (12/22) heading due east with 55-60 kt winds. Pressure to drop to a whopping 944 mbs with 50-60 kt winds aimed due east into early Saturday (12/24) as it reaches the dateline. 53 ft seas forecast aimed due east right up the great circle paths to California with solid energy pushing to Hawaii too, al on or below the 45N latitude. This storm to slowly fade into Sunday AM (12/25) as it moves into the Gulf of Alaska with seas fading fast from 40 ft. Some resurgence possible in the Gulf early next week. Most impressive for a modeled projection.

The wind speeds are supposed to go down a bit on Saturday too, with perhaps a brief direction change in the afternoon from South to North.

wow, everyone is doing a great job of cutting and pasting of forecasting sites. Thanks.

the report for today is wet water all moving around and stuff and oxygen above it with some colors and sun and mooon and shit. Now visit my website and buy my stuff.

Rapestah was a cut and paster, too.

I was an independent forecaster. Not a cut-and-paster. Went from the weather sites, and did my own charting, Bob. And if you ever bothered to consistently check my forecasts against those of others you could see that I was not following anyone.

Knock it off Cadaver - I know the color of your Geo.

Like I have time for this shit. Flamestah: I thought you moved away to Ohio?
Waves are triple to mostly overhead. Bill Martin say's 4 times overhead; we argued and settled on surfing Pedro with Doc.

Please tell Doc I need a refresher course on how to wax my board correctly and I can't seem to find my Team Taraval wetsuit.
