E's Surf Report

yah, bitches!!

Oh my God

had a demoralizing session this morning. almost outside and hit something spungy with my hand. get a little freaked out and stop paddling for a bit wondering what it was. ah probably just a sea lion. then proceed to get obliterated by wave after wave, and can't get outside. arg! surfing ob can be so frustrating. probably didn't help that i had a hang over and 4 hours of sleep. anyway, nice meeting you traut. hope you and e got some fun ones!

Wow. That was a great story. This made my day.

That story was brutal! I was full into it before I got the rug pulled.

Neal took almost 600 photos at the Pipe bodysurfing contest. He thinks he has a few of Judith in the mix, which he will post later.

well done ian's friend. that had me hook line and mf-ing sinker, actually trying to read faster as I got towards the end. great story. ha!

i am going to try to sneak an arvo ob today and will be asking for a conditions update in about 4.5 hours from anyone who can see the beach - are those still allowed??

morrocco looks insane.
i wonder how polluted that water is.

cool story. anybody else have trouble getting to ian's blog?

Nah, I didn't buy that story from the beggining. It's all "Truthiness" nowadays; E's telling of semi ficticious recording studio characters, James Frey's Million Little Pieces "non fiction", the Bush Administration's "Intellegence Failure", and now this poor attempt at tying to make us believe you can kook your way up to two pro surfers at a bar and convince them you are a tow in surfer, at Cho-Pu no less. Bah! Just stick to writing real experiences in the surf. You want fantasy and dreams? Post more photos of hot, bikini clad ladies.

vons, "No Soup For you!"

viva fantasy i say. a little imagination fuels the fire.

nothing on the internet is real. duh. so have a laugh.

woke early with waves on the brain
quick caffeine jolt
hop in the chariot for the westward drive

arrrgh--- got denied
bay bridge soup nazi shut me out

HA! That story was awesome. Did I tell you about the time Slater dropped in on me while fully slotted at Supetubes off the PCH north of county line. I hooted him off, and he looked back over his shoulder at me while kicking out. As I paddled back out into the line up, he apologized, and told me that I was the best tube rider he'd ever seen in his life, and that he felt like a total ass for dropping on an artist such as me.

awesome story!! i was fully in the cho'poo pit with that dude!

without that story there is no fucking no way i would ever get there on my own.

When one enters into Consciousness, is it a conscious experience?

that story was rad. i love pro ho tales of bling and brand name waves.
What's your favorite beer?
In the fridge: Acme Ale
Out on the town: Poppy Jasper Ale back-up Anchor Steam or a well poured Guiniess.
Foriegn: Negro Modelo

I usually drink Miller Lite, but two beers I realy like are Alaskan Amber and Steelhead.

Yuengling

oh great. now everyone's going to know about teahupoo.

Coopers, Green Label. Gold Coast (or maybe Victoria) Oz

Arrogant Bastard Ale, Stone Brewery Russian Imperial Stout and Coors for my all day drinking beer.

26ft.@11seconds!
Is Mavs on tomorrow or what?
Oh shit, now everyone is going to know about Mavs.

The best foreign beer = Berliner Kindl

325-

North Coast brews some fine beer, under a variety of monikers.

Lately though, I have been loving the Hairy Eyeball from Lagunitas. A seasonal brew so if you see it in the store, better buy it before it's gone.

Insta-crowd experience this AM.

Doof and one other out when I started the pull.

Had to swim through the shorepound, dragging my board behind me.

Got out to Doof, and the other dude disappears to the North, Kdalle comes around from the South.

We have it for a bit then a couple more guys make it out. One of which frustrates the hell out of me. A lot of you guys like to complain about beginners, but for me it is the guys who are good that piss me off. At least 5 peaks today where I was right there, except for the guy a little deeper. Somabitch!

Anyhow, there are 5 of us out enjoying the random jack-ups. I catch a left and see what looks like 10 guys paddling in formation on the inside of me.

At first I thought they were riding the shorebreak, or maybe I was just hoping against hope. So weird though, at least 8 guys all within 20 feet of eachother.

I guess they were all waiting for a lull, cause they decended en mass, so now we have 15 people sitting on one peak, sheesh. At least none of the new crew were as good as that one dude.

Kdalle catches a long Left to end it. I know because I was on the shoulder hoping he would choose to go right.

Doof catches a long Right to end it, again I am on the shoulder.

I catch a weird jackup that provides a nice drop but not much else.

great story.
man, that guy must be LOADED. Tahiti is so damn expensive, and now he is in 'mainland chile', i guess he is saying that he isnt on an island near Tierra Del Fuego.

That Ian guy runs in some high-end circles.
translation = "how do i tap into that lifestyle of surf trips/endless beers combined with no work?"

Beers:

Love the Lagunitas Cappucino Stout and Lagunitas IPA.

Love the Red Racer 5 and others from North Coast.

Drink Bud cans 95% of the time.

Sloat - the new Lindy.

beers...

once it was goebels
then lucky lager with symbol puzzle caps
natty bo for a while
with a yuengling porter thrown in
gave way to german hefeweizen
now it is mostly PBR, warsteiner if friends are coming over

Ahh yes, beer

Don't care if it was fake that story was awesome. Love that cutaway Tpoo illustration, too. Beeeeg Buoys a'comin'....

nels cline pedalboard

I love the "wilderness" landscape on the second rug

Oh and BTW, about the "truthiness" and Frey's book, etc. -- if it's got that essence, that **emotional truth**, then certainly the factual details become less important. Suspension of disbelief can work well in a movie theater or a book. And sometimes in real life, ha....what's real anyway, quantum physics blah blah blah and on and on.

i gotta say that i've been going more Light beer lately. I have some nice size "beer wings" attached to the sides of my abs.

Coors Light or Bud Light go down pretty good if you are doing any long term drinking (4+ hours)

hey holmes. new here, like the beer. the mav's bomb looks cherry but not as hairy as the poo-nah-nee b2ween dere legs. haaa.

Cool story, work can be such a buzzkill sometimes. Mmm Guinness!

Hey g when are we gonna see TGR's footage of Jaime's giant faceplant? That was sick. Looks like you guys are putting out another "travel" surf flick

http://www.tetongravity.com/shack/

Yeah I've been waiting for Machado, Laird and Gerry to invite me on their next trip- no seriously... guys??

holy shit this album kicks ass!

And a freshly mowed blank.....

leffe in bottles

Looks like my garage.

Yo Lerm, good meeting you to. You didn't miss much. Wierd waves and difficult to get into - IMHO. E got a few good ones. A few good ones go me.

- Hoegaarden
- Downtown Brown
- A frosty Coors Light

And a freshly mowed blank.....

And twins

Nice to see the vibe on this getting to normal

mainland Chile = not Rapa Nui, where the guy was arriving from. rapa nui = Easter Island, which is a Chilean possession. Also, mo money = mo problems.

friend #1 I hear you. I have no problem with people paddling right out to an occupied peak if its located at a channel but proper etiquette dictates they should spread out after a brief rest. similarily, nobody should stinkeye someone who paddles right to their peak if they are in front of a channel. chill and give the person a chance to assess the situation and move on. or dont set up near a channel.

whoever posted that photo of the left coming in between two jetties..is that spot a border between two countries?

Check out that Peavy Classic 30 in the back on the right. That's my amp!

Improviser, composer and performer Zeena Parkins is one of America's most talented avant-gardists. An integral component of New York City's downtown scene, the electric harpist has performed with an all-star list of musicians, including John Zorn, Fred Frith, the late Tom Cora, Elliot Sharp and Gate, among others. The range of sounds and textures she can coax out of her instrument and the accompanying electronics is impressive, and her instincts are superb. In addition to records with bands such as No Safety, Skeleton Crew, News From Babel and Elliot Sharp's Carbon, she has released several solo records, including two long-form compositions for Zorn's Tzadik label. Her Mouth=Maul=Betrayer is a stunner, exploring the lives and culture of Jewish gangsters through radical chamber orchestrations and mesmerizing text read in the obscure Yiddish language of Rotwelsch.

Hey, who put a zero after my name?

Kloo, where are you finding Unibroue pm tap? other than Toronado.

Another fine surf morning for yours truly.

Attached is another surf sotry of a friend of a friend of an acquaintance.

Foggy, offshore(!), and 12 ft at 12 seconds, outgoing tide.

Pull up, see one guy making his way through the outer bar, see another start to wade through the inside.

I suit up and hope Friend #1 figures out where I am.

I have to struggle as I wade through knee and thigh deep water on the inside until I reach that wall of shorebreak.

I hop over any number of incoming whitewater, get blasted by a few bigger ones, struggle not to lose ground as the water rushes towards the parking lot, and then I chance a go when a lull occurs.

Paddling ferociously, I make great headway when I somehow don't make it through a dumpy little clump of a wave. If I were three feet to the north of south of it, no problem, but despite a fine duckdive, I get pushed back towards shore and lose my window of opportunity.

Then I get blasted by the double-up and I am back to knee deep water in the space of 5 seconds underwater.

Again I trudge against the shoreward rush of water, and this time, when the lull hits, I give it all I've got. May not be much, but so be it.

Again, just when I am nearly through, that last little waves rears up. I get by it better, but stall in place, windmilling in the fizzy water of the broken wave.

Then comes the end of the lull.

I see a repeat in my mind of what just happened.

The double-up stacks higher it seems, and I try to duckdive it. I make it most of the way through and feel myself getting sucked over.

Inside the wave, I ditch the board and swim for it.

Of course the board drags me back and of course I get hit again, but by diving beneath the brunt of it, and clutching at the sand, it feels like I lose very little ground.

Two more smaller waves hit me as I reel the board back to me, and as if by magic, just when I grasp the board, I rise up the face of one of those crunchers and pass beyond it, unharmed.

Then I am madly paddling for the next three minutes to make sure of my good fortune before slowing down the pace so I have something left for the push through the outside breakers.

They don't end up posing much threat, even with the thumping I took getting through them.

I catch one wave, nothing special, a left, and then I spy the familiar form of Friend #1.

"Any waves?"

"One," I yell.

We paddle about for the next few minutes sussing things out, thinking we are too far out, or too far in when I get cleaned up.

Then I get another wave, then he gets one, and it is on.

I catch a bunch of lefts, and one or two right.

Friend #1 gets a great left, and paddling back out, he spins and goes on a medium sized right.

{side note: As of late I've been riding a number of different boards and this morning, I'm riding an older thruster that is near its end of days. I can really feel the drag associated with the fin cluster on the initial drop. Sure, it gets back to speed at the bottom turn, and slides along at a good clip perched high on the wall, but once those three fins are engaged in the wave surface, wow, its slow.}

I watch Kdalle catch a few waves with his usual grace. Two more guys paddle out not to far away not long after I remark to him about there only being the three of us.

Bob catches another and when he paddles back out, exclaims, "There's ten guys all together on the inside!"

Sure enough, five minutes later, insta-crowd. And amazingly in one large clump. Did they all paddle out together a the same time?

I paddle south, Bob paddles north, Kdalle catches one in.

I score a few good sized lumpy ones that bowl and wall up as nicely as I could hope for on a day like today.

Friend #1 paddles over just as I catch a left a little too late....could have pulled in, but I pass.

Later I ask him if he thinks I could have made it.

He say, "No, but you should have gone for it anyway."

Hmmmm. Maybe on my last wave.

And the last waves comes shortly thereafter.

On the peak at the take off, power through the bowling section, come up high, shout something unintelligible at the lip, drive back down and back into the pocket before cutting back into the whitewater for a bouncing ride halfway back to land.

Coming in through the inside wasn't a chore like it sometimes can be on days like this.

As I dry off, friend #1 come in and I am disappointed I didn't see his last ride.

He later says it wasn't much.

Get into work 1.5 hours late.

So to sum it up:

1 Offshore
2 Overhead
3 Decent shape every now and then
4 Had fun; glad I went.

That little guy is surfing on a windsurfer? Did he lose his sail and he is surfing his board in? Thats crazy.

FAVORITE SILLY SODAS
1# SIERRA NEVADA
2# GUINESS
3# LAGUNITAS IPA
NOW THAT I AM OLD AND GETTING FATTER SEEMS LIKE I DRINK A LOT OF COORS LIGHT SADLY ENOUGH NOWADAYS.

I'm tickled pink Cadaver.

SILLY SODA PART TWO
IF YOU HAVE EVER GONE ON A BAJA TRIP YOU KNOW THAT THE PACIFICO BALLENAS ARE A MUST!(SMALL AMOUNTS OF BEER)

My deal on Beer-

Wifey give's me looks when I drink more than one, so I started buying stronger beers. That way one feels like two.

Eye of the Hawk ~7%
Rasputin Imperial Stout ~9%
Hairy Eyeball ~9%
Celebration Ale ~8%
Big Foot ~ 9%

Seek and ye shall find.

I like this Korean Hite beer as you can see:

The rasputin is good, especially on tap. bottle only come in 4 paks, which is prolly a good thing.

I never developed much of a taste for beer. I like something with a little more kick.

friend #1, you should try Chimay. it has 12% alchohol.

stella lately. also makers and ginger ale.

hite....i do not miss you....

haaa. mi favorito pee-colored cerveza makes em go shwing!

Pierre is pretty much insane, even if he is a nice guy. I'm just stoked he walked away from it. Falling on your head from 245 ft. is definitely not recommended. If you ever talk to the NZ guy that previously held the record - he says he still is screwed up from that jump.

No photos until they're printed in a mag - otherwise the mags won't pay the $$ for them. According to Epstein, next month's powder will likely have it.

Vid - probably next year's movie - although part of it may be in the trailer.

Surf vid comes out soon. Been filming it for a while now - still in post-production.

g.

Chimay red, pour it off into a proper goblet = all good.

my favorite beer is liquid lsd

problem with chimay is it takes foreve for the head to settle. i'm thirsty, dammit.

friend #1, i dunno where (else) you can GET unibroue on tap here, but it's great. my first was some eau benite at a riverside cafe in montreal. mmmmm.

i'm gonna check **.

Have all you futbal buffs bought your tixs to the USA vs Japan game at pacbell on Friday the 10th?

will tasty be on tap?

For the stealth beer, it has to come in a small bottle. A 750 ml bottle is going to garner the same look as drinking two ankorsteams.

Besides, if I am going to spring for Chimay, I am going to go with Delerium Tremens, or Saison Dupont, or Meredsous.

IMHO Chimay is the Coors of Belgium.

You look so fine when you lie it just don't show,
That I know which way the wind blows
40 oz to freedom is the only chance I have to feel good,
even though I feel bad

And I know that ohhhh...I'm not comin back
Ohh not going back
God knows I'm not going back
God knows I'm not going back

arvo surf update requested please : can anyone see the beach? muchas gracias....

Anchor Liberty Ale - good and strong, two and you are feelin' fine, three and you are very happy, four and you are officially drunk

hemp ale all the way...

On the unibroue recommendation - I think they have a couple on tap at Amnesia on Valencia, along with several other Belgian ales.

If you're into the stronger beers, drop in at either Magnolia's or 21st Amendment this month - each have five different strong ales on tap ranging from 9 to 12 percent.

The Rogue Public House in North Beach also has several strong beers on tap that are particularly tasty.

My personal favs:
Lagunitas IPA is probably the standard purchase, but Rasputin on tap at the North Coast brewpub can't be beat.

thanks b- for the info. i'm going with the ground fog theory yesterday. This morning was gorgeous – offshore and the fog was gone by 9:00. but alas, here comes the S winds, rain and monster junk.

After the plea bargain, only O’Douls for me. Although I swear if I drink a case in an hour I can get a buzz. Maybe its just hyponatremia from all the water?

hey g.
Continuim still makes me smile and gawk in awe. Jeremy has grown into to quite the gnar charger in the steeps. Tell the fellas to keep up the good work. Peace.

strong beer - la maudite from quebec. translates roughly as 'beer of the damned'. 8%+ and tastes good.

All of the Stone brewery beers are great as well. Particularly like the Stone IPA. Mmm hops.

Marin Brew Co makes a good IPA as well. Its almost beer time, isn't it.

damn. that girl is sexy.
phew!

Right on cadaver, I'm not worthy.

Yeah g.! You guys keep up the solid work. Smart move on the pics, glad he's OK. Hopefully you're still scoring some surf out there.

That chick was at the Coldplay concert on Wednesday. She is totally not hot up close.

OH my, we have a new source.

Everyone, a moment of silence for the new "source"

my bad

USA vs. Japan: would be interesting, but at something like $130 for crap seats, I'll just watch it on TV..... and drink some Anchors

Irie.

sactomex: award for best new addition.

its actually just $22-28 for crap seats.

I was thinking of going to the game, but may opt for TV, since when I go, I don't go cheap, and a C-note for wifey and me, plus a sitter, and shit that's a lot of chimay I could be drinking.

Omergang is good cheap Belgian style beer.

And Maudite is not bad, but can't help but picture Kyle Maclaughlin with green contacts ala Dune, whenever I think of the beer.

Sean Young sure was a looker back then.

My productivity is shot......

Brazilian babes rule!!

Oh my god!!!
Kaiser, your last pic gave me shivers.

me favorite beverage iz when I hit my chicks tits and drink da milk. haaaa. its so good when it hits the lip. so good!

are there really guys out there that have sex with girls like that, doggy style, and the girls enjoy it? without having to pay for it?

i want to be one of those guys.

I promise, this is the last one....

I promise!

mariah Carey "We Belong Together" is seriously an awesome tune!

there. i said it.

it's a man!

"bella de semana" in Portuguese means "transvestite"!

if that's a man than i'm gay.

I know gay.
Those pics are gay.

Just kidding, they are not gay!

What!?

hmmm, whats going on down there....

Well, whatever..
I've got to get back to work anyway

Hey traut -- where'd you see tix that cheap for the game? I can't find anything under $120. Which is way too much$$

Missing Surf Board At Ocean Beach

Hey, my brother was in a surfing accident on January 22nd at Ocean Beach which resulted in his death. We never recovered his surf board. If you happened to find a surf board anywhere in that vicinity in the last week and a half, I am offering a reward for it's return. I don't think anyone stole it, I am sure it got away from him during the accident, but I would be really happy to get it back. Please write me and let me know if you have any information about it, or if you think you know who has it, tell them to contact me through this post. I appreciate it. Thanx.

this is in or around Ocean Beach

no -- it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Limevoodoo - Tickets.com /soccer

you can buy them at the Giant's dugout shops but they still charge a 5$ service fee.

I bought mine last night and they are not sold out. 120$ sounds like a world cup price.

a pic of "E", before the saturday morning paddle out at Kellys:

why arnt they calling the Mavs contest for Tuesday? What the Fuck? Big swell, sunny and offshore? Please tell me what I am missing.

maybe jeff clarks missing a few marbles

Thx, traut. Maybe I'll go after all.......

still laughing about the rankings. nice one, cadaver.

BL**ks was fun today.

The 2006 WINNERS post was classic! Here's another.

Brother and Sister team survive clown torturers and successfully move to San Francisco to become full time niceness blog moderators...

"IMHO Chimay is the Coors of Belgium"

Wouldn't a better comparison be "Stella Artois is the Coors of Belgium"?

Just messing....

so was **. breaking weakly wayyy outside, then a trough i guess, then breaking pretty steep and quick in the middle; head high to a little overhead, i guess. really consistent, which made it hard to get past that middle bar. and scads of waves, so if you could pick 'em, you could get good ones. only a few folks out. i've only surfed once since xmas, so i was weak and nervous. my first one was a piddly shoulder---this is what i'm scared of? so my second was an overhead over the falls spin-cycle hold-down. then a nice fast sucking-out warbly wall with a fun air pull-out, and a final right where i somehow buried the nose just after making the bottom turn and seeing how nice it looked ahead. it was fun. i suck. i need to surf more. have a great weekend.

Yo, in she came with the same type game
The type of girl givin out the fake cell phone and name
Big fame, she like cats with big thangs
Jewels chip, money clip, phone flip, the six range
I seen her on the ave, spotted her more than once
Ass so fat that you could see it from the front
She spot me like paparazzi; shot me a glance
in that catwoman stance with the fat booty pants, Hot damn!
What's your name love, where you came from?
Neck and wrist blazed up, very little make-up
The swims at the Reebok gym tone your frame up
Is sugar and spice the only thing that you made of?
I tried to play it low key but couldn't keep it down
Asked her to dance she was like "Yo, I'm leavin now"
An hour later, sounds from Jamaica
She sippin Crys straight up, shakin, windin her waist up
Scene two: my fam throwin the jam
Fahreed is on the stand big things is in the plan
The brother Big Mu makes space for me to move in
Hey, this my man Mos, baby let me introduce; I turn around
Say word! You was the same pretty bird who I had priorly observed
tryin to play me for the herb (Yeah, that's her)
Shocked as hell she couldn't get it together
I just played it long and pretended I never met her
"How you feelin?" "Oh I'm fine." "My name is Mos." "I'm Sharice.
I heard so much good about you it's nice to finally meet."
We moved to the booth reserved for crew especially
And honey love ended up sittin directly next to me
I'm type polite but now I'm lookin at her skeptically
Cause baby girl got all the right weaponry
Designer fabric, shoes, and accessories
Chinky eyes, sweet voice is (fucking) with me mentally
We conversated, made a laugh, yeah you know me bro
Even though I know the steelo, she wild sweet yo
I'm bout to merc, I say peace to the family
She hop up like "How you gonna leave before you dance with me?"

Yo, let me apologize for the other night
I know it wasn't right, but baby you know what its like
Some brothers don't be comin right
I understand, I'm feelin you
Beside, 'can I have a dance?' ain't really that original
We laughed about it, traced her arms across my shoulder blades
They playing lovers' rock, I got the folded fingers on her waist
He end my butt up like the Arizona summer song
Finished then she whisper 'honey, let's exchange numbers'
Scene three: weeks of datin late night conversation
In the crib heart racin, tryin to be cool and patient
She touched on my eyelids, the room fell silent
She walked away smilin singing Gregory Issacs
Like 'if I don't, if I don't, if I don't'
Showin me that tan line and that tattoo
Playin Sade, "Sweetest Taboo"
Burnin candles, all my other plans got canceled
Man I smashed it like an Idaho potato
She call my at my J.O., 'come now', I can't say no
Ginseng tree trunks, rockin the p-funk
Cocking her knees up, champion lover not ease up
Three months, she call 'I feel I'm runnin a fever'
Six months, I'm tellin her I desperately need her
Nine months, flu-like symptoms when shorty not around
I need more than to knock it down I'm really tryin to lock it down
Midnight we hook up and go at it
Burn a stogger, let her know, sweetheart I got to have it
She tellin me commitment is somethin she can't manage
Wake up the next morning, she gone like it was magic
Ahh damnit! This all Harrison Ford frantic
My 911 wasn't answered by my fly Taurus enchantress
Next week, who hit me up, I saw Sharice at the kitty club
With some banging ass Asian playin lay it down and lick me up
What!?

yabba dabba doobie

ian, thank you - the pictures on your blog are outstanding.

Anybody think a surfboard lost at OB would make its way across the GG to Stinson Beach?

SURFBOARD FOUND (stinson, bolinas)

On this date, 3/3/2006, while surfing at Bolinas, I found a surfboard just floating in the ocean all by its lonley. With no surfer around, I cautiously approached the board, stopping every few yards to make sure that there were no sharks lurking close by. As I got even closer, I noticed that the board was upside down, and that the leash was not visible. I did however notice something on the board, but found it to be only seaweed. I then came upon the board, and nervous that there may be a body still attached to the leash, I flipped the board over, and thankfully, no body. So I brought it in, contacted the Marin Sheriff's Department Officer in the Bolinas area, and reported it to the 2 Mile Surf Shop in Bolinas too. This board has obviously been in the water for some time, as it has moss formed on it. On the leash, there are the beginning growths of barnacles, and the metal has begun to rust.
If you have lost this surfboard, or know the person who has, please contact me on this site with a very clear discription of the board, and it will be returned to you immediately.

probably one of the guys who got munched

Pt. #%&)+ is gunna be firing tomorrow! Watchout!

that picture Skip posted above is so odd, from the strange transgendered person holding up that Hite beer to the skid row motel room (Honolulu?) to the weird foreign snacks on the table. that's what I like about this blog is the strange pictures that sometimes come out of friggen nowhere

i'm sure that photo is straight outta korea. normal enough over there.

koreaaaaaaah

I was cruisin'' down PCH the other day listening to my latest release on my cars 8-track (cost me boocoo bucks to digitally unmaster the CD to analog bro) when I got a call from Marty Thomas at Sanuk that really harshed my buzz. He said that my hippy stoner/ surfer/ Belgian beer swilling musician/ artist image was played out and that if I didn't get something new going they were going to drop me and I'd lose my next Fuel TV Drive Thru episode where we tour all the Great Lakes surf spots in an old psychedelic school bus while teaching Trey Anastasio to surf. So I immediately call Machado to ask him what I should do. Well I hung up on him before he finished his first sentence 'cause the battery on my cell died while waiting for him to answer me. So I'm wracking my brain on what the next soul surfer image the industry will buy and it hits me.... that whole androgynous, ambiguous gender identity trip man! I'm bettin' the bongwater on this one. So I'm movin' up to the city to polish my act. I was a little surprised to find out that the old Family Dog venue at the north end of the beach was gone but I did manage to secure the Sea Bowl in Pacifica and will be having an open casting call for my brand new production of Rockaway Horror Picture Show. I'm in negotiations to get BVB to play Brad Majors and blakestah to play the Criminologist. Truelove turned down Meatloaf's role as Eddie with a vague "Get the fuck away from me.", but the rest of the spots are wide open so come on down. As usual, you can find me by my bottom turn.

Jenn Sterger as Janet please!

Hey why you call me transgendered? That was picture of me taken in Korea on a small trip a few years back.

FUck man I've been on the disabled list for a while now, so I've been smoking weed everyday starting first thing in the morning. Somedays I start tokin at 5:30 am. Nothing else to do but smoke and surf the net.

I was kind of sick of the whole surfing scene for a while there, but now I can't wait to get better and get in the fucking water again. To bad it will be spring and windy as hell when that happens.

Anyway my landlord has been outside all day working on shit and I'm to fucking high to deal with him, so here i am surfing the end of the internet on a saturday. Looks like he just took off so now I can go to the gym.

enjoy what you have while you have it.

Skip

too fucking high to deal with him. Fucking can't spell man.

Anyway, I have a degree and lots of post graduate courses completed. A 4.0 right now to in my field of study. Not to brag.. but I'm also top 3 in another endurance sport besides surfing in California and 9th in the USA. Fuck yeah man, but I can't do shit for a while. I was a total fuckup in high school, smoked a lot of weed and was in trouble with the law every few months. Got over my learning disabilities slightly in college, and am now almost completely over them. Life is getting better. Fung Shuei is some good shit. Anyway, enough about me..

yeah skip the tranny

Surfhumor.com is back up

Skip the loser

that Donovan bit is funny
Anyone see Drive-Thru Europe where Kelly and Pat O. bitchfight-thru-Europe? Fucking lame, you didn't miss much.

Those guys are good. But brain dead.

who remembers what late winter/spring 2001 was like. they all blend together to me. late winter last year was nice - I liked that. this winter has kind of sucked although this next stretch of weather is looking nice.

Uh yeah right Brian.

I was born in San Francisco, raised in San Mateo county. Been surfing NorCal since age 8. Started surfing OB and nearby beachbreaks at 13.

BVB is a fucking kook to me and so are 99.9% other surfers around here. My surfing friends are the guys you see in magazines 1970-90's. Otherwise I'd rather you move back to Ohio. that's how local I am.

forgot to mention I'm 35 now.

Skip

Hey Skip, who were your OB surfing buddies back then?

One Of Skips Buddies Now. Watchout or he'll barf on yah!

Not to mention I've been local on e's site since the comment feature arrived. I was completely pissed off at this site and all the fucking losers here after seeing pictures of my most frequented break here. The picture still shoes up in one of the corners randomly, but it would take some knowledge to figure out where it is.

I used to surf with a couple Santa Cruz pros and a dude who transplanted to Hawaii and became part of the original Jaws crew. No one really famous with an OB connection. Thos e OB guys are usually surf lifestyle kooks like BVD or Doc or some shit.

Anyway, how's my writing in this post? I'm not stoned yet. Wondering if pot fucks up my writing.

Skip

what have they done to the earth? what have they done to our....FAIR SISTER!!!!

New York times is owned! boycot the New York 'namer' times! Skip smoke another bowl!

go stealers!

Skip, you sound wise and in the know. Where's a good place to shop for jeans?

Skip, it's shows, not shoes, and it's too, not to. 4.0, huh??

I just checked the Waimea surfline cam. Wow, it's macking out there right now! Mav's doesn't seem to be really taking the swell just yet. Kinda inconsistent looking and on the smaller side.

19ft @ 20 seconds off of Hawaii right now. Is this swell supposed to hit Mav's on Tues? I'm thinking of driving there today to look at it.

Shutup Skip, you ass.

Just got back from Mav's... ah, it wasn't happening. It was probably TOH with some 4x OH sets, but super inconsistent. I doubt they are going to hold that contest.

mav's contest is on for tuesday; a different swell.

hey skip. im local. i live on a hill and below me is the ocean. its my beach. but hey. im not like hey this is my beach to people. i make friends with people, im kidding about calling you a tranny. something called humor. Fuck, i dont even know what that means. I just figure it means transvestite. So fuck you. Don't give me shit because im being friendly and joking around. Fuck your shit.

Hmmmm...

Fuck your shit...sounds messy...another tranny pastime?

I keep hearing from everyone in Hawaii that this swell was EPIC. All time--off the richter is what they are saying. Waimea and the outer reefs supposedly pushed 25 feet Hawaiian. Damn, I can't wait till the swell on Tuesday for Mav's. I gotta take off of work to see that. Anyone recommend a good pair of binoculars?

Mavericks contest is ON.

This swell really has an unusual amount of really long period energy. Although considerably smaller in total size, this one has more 25 second energy than the swell from 100 ft Wednesday.

I'd look for 12 ft 20 seconds at the HMB buoy through most of the contest, SF buoy will probably read 10 ft 20 sec, although overnight tonite there will be 8-10 ft 25 seconds. As the reef really likes the longer periods and low tides, it should be quite impressive from around the low tomorrow afternoon (1:15 PM, a zero low). NE offshores are in the forecast. I suspect the beach will be giant but rideable, bring a 9 ft board!

Good luck to Alex! Good luck to Ryan!

I'm having trouble remembering a winter swell with 25+ second periods. This is a super long period, eh?

We had a 9 ft 25 sec swell in the early season about 3 years ago. It takes a considerable area of 60 knot winds to make 25 second energy, and that large an area with that high a wind velocity is pretty rare.

Most often they come from early season typhoons that go extratropical and have exceptional organization. If this swell were generated 1000 miles closer to the coast it would be the biggest seen in a long long long time.

OK. I'll go away for a while. I'm thinking St. George, Utah? $100k luxury homes there! Fucking bay area sold out. Locals go away. Brian good luck living here in a few years unless your folks give you a trust fund w/ house.

Anyway, here's a picture of my cat:

Utah?????? Are you serious? That place is the land of serious freaks. You couldn't pay me a $200K year salary to live in that place. I worked for a company located there for a few years and really got to see the inner workings of a certain religion and how it encompasses all aspects of live in that state. W E I R D O S

Oh, if you're in Utah long enough they try to make you wear this!!! Watch out!
