E's Surf Report

People ARE great. Good words today, e.

The answer my freinds is blowing in the wind. Skateboarding helps surf alieve no surfy depression.

kite boards in the winds. carve board in the hills. boulders in the mtns. trout in the rivers. single track in the old growth. kayak in the archipelago. hiking in the woods.

no surf? no worries.

and I totally respect the woman diving in for her salt water fix.

ya, nice one e. but why do you hate hendrix? har har
im off to utah so im sure it will perfect this weekend, har har again. slater will win today. more videos!

right on, kix. that's the life

Agnes will love that wheelbarrow shot

booom tail

damn. how could i forget Jimi. Machine Gun is probably my favorite song of all time ever.

He's up there now.

The stroy about the ladies in the water is believable, but never can trust E stories!
He makes so much shit up that you never know what
is true. Just read the stories and take EVERTHING
he says with a hugh grain of salt.

Google this "March 20th"
Finally something we can mostly agree on.

Did E beat up your mom or something anon?

e, I really like that shot above where the guy's using his guitar as a pasta maker. nowadays all these new fangled contraptions; backpacks with built in water bottles, or rotating corncob fin systems, don't even surprise me anymore.

no Bill Frisell?

charge those charging chargeables

that Roach vid was SICK!

26 stitches and 6 hours later and I'm back in the office - dry, warm and off surfing for a few months. Boy do I have a headache and want to go home but I have no sick days left until May. I was surfing a cove south of Pacifica north of Montara at sun up. The ranger quizically questioned my motives for wanting to surf a closeout in a near shore deep water beach with crevices and holes with a heavily contoured bottom ALONE.
My first wave and I blow the steep takeoff - the waves jacknifed my ass with the nose of the board piercing into the top of my scalp just above the eye ripping a 12" long gap to the top of my head. All my hair is gone I havea black eye, and I don't know why but also a swollen lip - thanks to the Pilipino fisherman and Ken the Ranger for help to the clinic in HMB.
Have a nice Spring.

Warthog I would like it better if you were behind me...

Only recording of machine gun I've ever heard is the one off of the Band of Gypsies album with buddy guy, it's a live recording, and he starts off by saying giving shout outs to the soldiers dying in Vietnam, etc..

Are there any other recording of this song that someone knows about. That is also one of my favorite songs of all time...

oh man. depressing. no swell on the horizon, not not even a hint of swell lines at E beach.

holy shit scralped! good on ya for getting out there but damn dude!

maybe i should get a tip guard for my board.

fast recovery to ya.

At what point do those body boarders need to get a surfboard and just stand up?

Music makes me happier than anything else on the planet. Spending an entire day listening to and or playing music is totally fine with me. In fact, I could do it for the rest of my waking life. There is no greater joy than being lost in the notes of a great jam and feeling the moment totally creep into your soul. Here is to music and to my favorite band TOOL.

ouch scalped. get well soon. you've inspired me to never surf that place. its cursed as far as im concerned.

It's my fault for the onshores....you see I was surfing with Surf Seeker 7 at a protected cove a few days ago and accused him of being a wave hog ( i.e. he catches more waves than me due to his superior skill, stamina and knowledge) The great SS7 left the water shaking his head much like the little man from the Dr Seuss classic " The Lorax" ...alas since he left there have been nothing but onshores and it's all my greedy fault. Forgive me SS7 and let the waves return!

The point when a surfboard becomes $200 and lasts forever. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.

hey scrapled lets see some pics. gnarly! that cove sucks no one should ever surf there. not to mention the lurking nude dudes.

whatever dude

my little brothers a great drummer, he goes to school at state as a music major. he plays in a bunch of bands and gets paid a little from some of his gigs, like 200 a week. he told me the other night hes never going to get a "job". thats awesome.

ha, that "anon" post wasn't me. just different strokes for different folks i guess when it comes to riding waves. roach is pretty much a standup surfer nowadays though.

right on Dean! fuck yeah.

Tool is heavy!

Shallow water, thick jacked-up waves: been hurt more in them then anything. Couple weeks ago, I got finned in the thigh just duck-diving one of them. Looked (and felt) like I was shot with a rubber bullet. Cut my wetsuit's outter covering too. Sucks Scralped.

Damn Scralped! I can relate brother, I've split my head open from my board= many stiches and a reverse mohawk. You should be back in the H20 in a month or so. For the amount of people that surf that place I've seen a hell of a lot of accidents and paramedic responses.

Anyone see that photo of Tamayo Perry's head from pipe, holy crap!

When is the new Tool album coming out?

What was it you said?
All I said was, that 80-90% of everybody that surfs gets stoned. What are you gonna do? No one wants to talk about it. My use is recreational. I like to smoke and go surf, so crucify me. They didn’t even print half of the shit I said. I also said, “What’s better? Smoking a joint recreationally or drinking a beer in the parking lot, and drinking ten more beers, losing your health, getting out of shape, and drinking around your kids, and then your kids start drinking? The way they put it was, ‘Yeah, I smoke pot.’ It just didn’t come across the way I was explaining it. It’s more of a spiritual thing. It’s a lifestyle as much as you might want to bash it. It’s one of the first communicating things you see if you run into a surfer in a foreign country. He’s making hand gestures to roll a joint. It’s the passing of the peace pipe. I grew up around Nat and those guys, and Nat would say, "Take a hit. Shit. I won a world title. I won five. You think this is gonna hurt you? It’s not going to hurt at all. There are guys surfing on heroin and you’re smoking weed. Who cares? You aren’t doing anything else." That’s how it always weighed out around those guys. They were really proud of me being stoned instead of boozing it up. If anything, it’s going to motivate you to go out even when the waves are small. Or say you’re in a contest and the waves look like shit and everyone is complaining. You can go to your car, turn on some jazz, take a hit and get amped up. You go out and have a blast. When you lose you’re like, "Who cares? I’m still surfing." I can’t tell you how many contests I’ve been to where someone makes an ass of themselves because they lost when they could’ve just walked away and taken a puff instead of making a scene and embarrassing themselves.

mogwai's new album: mr. beast

Shut da fuck up haole boy, I like my beer

I remember surfing that cove one day over the summer, it was pretty much flat everywhere, and onshore, but there were some pretty fun shoulder high ones to be had in the cove (which is also a great place to eat mushrooms). Anyway, there's one kid out who is absolutely ripping, flowing, styling. He had an old O'neill wetsuit from like '92 or something and long blond hair. Saw him in the lot after the sesh and he was getting into a rental car with his parents. His dad came over to talk to us; he said they were from the North Shore of Oahu- I have no idea what they were doing in Norcal, but they were actually stoked on the waves, I couldn't believe it. Guess we're luckier than we think...

Music is the greatest art form, period. It is ancient, emotional, mysterious. It is creative expression in its purest form. Cheers to guys like Roberts Johnson, Hendrix, and Mr. Bob Dylan- they have changed the world with their songs.

Any fans of Sonny Sharrock ever hear his playing on Marzette Watts' LP from '66? Just wondering what the playing is like on that. I mean, I'm sure it's great, but it is delving into free jazz or is it blues-soaked/tinged?

Bett'r to be scalped than consumed by the landlord. Incidentally, my landlady is giving me heeps of sh*t recently. Sux to rent sometimes.

Whiners, not even that cold

hey slugger, shut it

I've always found the cove to be kind of crumbly on the outside and closed out on the inside and generally a very mediocre wave. Lindy and the jetty are usually better on the same conditions, even factoring in crowds etc. Sometimes that spot looks ok from the road, but when you get down to the beach you realize it was a mirage. Plus I've personally surprised dudes getting it on there, just walking down the stairs. That is highly unpleasant. For what its worth.

Hey! Is it windy at the beach? E - call me.

i am gonna tell my girlfriend (who is vegan) that march 20th is steak and bj day. That will be funny!

lurk.

EARN EXTRA CASH IN YOUR SPARE TIME

on a sunny day last summer my wife and i went for a walk down to Gay Male Cove and witnessed a big goth chick sitting down with her legs spread wide fingering herself in front of three beating-off dudes.

i've seen some other gnarly shit down there too but that was by far the gnarliest.

All the times I've ever surfed at that place, I've never seen much worth remembering except for the migrating whales.

to beat my wife, or not to beat my wife...

My wife yelled at me last night for the tenth time this week. So I smacked her good. Bitch deserved it. Then I sat her down in the hallway for a time-out.

My question is, does beating your wife as punishment just re-enforce that wife-beating is ok?

James, I found that wife-beating was essential to have appropriate attitude adjustment from my lady.

Right on!

wife beating is not niceness

Hey e...I think the women you speak of have a morning ritual of bathing in the ocean. On several occasions, I've seen two women who look like they're from Eastern Europe or possibly Russia, bathing with buckets in one-piece suits up on the North End. Cool and impressive ritual.

But drinking some wife beater whilst wearing a wife beater is pretty routine

Q - yup. the bikini lady looked older and eastern european and definitely looked like her actions were comfortable/ritualized.

cool.

Zip it ho-dads

whats up with that last surf pic....Homo Gay Tandem Duo

The last two surfers are gearing up to go see the new cowboy movie. The "Take me from behind" gets a 6.9

What's wrong with a little sex on the beach? Best time I ever had was watching my ex surf naked on a blistering hot day at GMC. Wife beaters=drinkers=bashers=losers=homophobic little boys in tight BVD's!

Nice one Cadaver. Did you purchase one?

old news?

you's a fortunate son, scalped. that's not a good place to be surfing alone in hacked windswell. ken's a good egg.

sacto -- oh great, thanks. aw, what the fuck, why not -- here's a better one:

nope, I'm taking advantage of the convenient 6 mo. trial lease plan

slater ripping again.

I agree that some of the Russian folk in our outer neighborhoods seem to enjoy a cold dip.

Have any of you ever read McTeague by Frank Norris? It was turned into the silent movie "Greed" by Erich Von Stroheim. It paints a great picture of SF at the turn of the century. Not sure why I thought of it. Maybe something to do with the cold water rituals.

"At the Cliff House the two sat down to their beer in a quiet corner of the billiard-room. There were but two players. Somewhere in another part of the building a mammoth music-box was jangling out a quickstep. From outside came the
long, rhythmical rush of the surf and the sonorous barking of the seals upon the seal rocks. The four dogs curled themselves down upon the sanded floor..."

would you lame fuckers stop posting fotos of west oz and perfect hossegor barrels and implying there is some connection to that miserable dumpy windy gay spot that is marginal at best on perfect fall days and basically unrideable all summer? its not really that funny of a joke.

Is this better..............

I actually just started McTeague this week. Not really that into it yet but always interested in SF books. I dig all the references to "steam beer."

Spring training in 2 hours.

Scralped just proves that I am right.

The conversation w/ the Lifeguard in the lifeguard's mind:
"Hey kook- what do you think you are doing?"
Kook: "Going surfing dude. Got me a new funboard and I'm going to tear it up. My bddies at Wise hooked me up with the 7'6 egg for $585 and they gave me free WAX!!"
Lifeguard:
Thinking...great, I guess I'll earn my $ today...saying: "OK good luck dude coughkookcough"
Kook: "Wow- I'm soo badass. Watch out ASP, here I come"
Lifeguard: Thinking...I bet this idiot gets sucked over the falls and scalps himself"

where can i watch the big east tournament. F'n california, i need to watch my old college in the tourney. ESPN2 does not show it. There must be a bar somewhere near the sunset for this. Anyone?

you really should consider buying one Dickey, they're supposed to be great for duck diving long strings of virulent rebuttals

Kelly Slater just crushed Bobby Martinez.

Does anyone know if its legal in the ASP to ride a board other than a shortboard (e.g a fish).

darwin, you'll be bummed when you scalp yourself at 1 foot OB.

Slater vs Taj in 5 mins.

bajel picked it. Slates is gonna take it.

Snow in the forecast for Twin Peaks
Suzanne Herel, Chronicle Staff Writer

(03-09) 13:33 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco could be in for a dusting of snow.

Forecasters with the National Weather Service said today that as much as an inch of snow could fall on Twin Peaks as a cold storm moves in tonight and Friday morning. The landmark hills are a mere 920 feet above sea level.

Accumulations could be substantial in the highest reaches of the Bay Area, the forecasters said. As much as 6 inches could fall on Mount Hamilton (elevation 4,213 feet), Mount Diablo (3,849 feet) and other local hills, the weather service said.

A snow advisory will be in effect from 9 p.m. tonight to 4 p.m. Friday for areas with elevations of 1,000 feet and higher, thanks to a storm system coming down from the Gulf of Alaska that is teaming up with cold air flowing down from Canada.

Areas that don't receive snow are sure to see rain beginning tonight and lasting through the weekend, said Steve Anderson of the National Weather Service.

"It will be a good movie weekend," Anderson said.

Highs should reach only the low 50s in the flatlands, with overnight lows dipping to 40 in San Francisco and the Peninsula and mid-30s in the North and East Bay.

The snow is expected to affect some major roads, including Highway 17 over the Santa Cruz Mountains and Highway 9 up to Skyline Boulevard, Anderson said.

"What roads aren't coated with snow will be a slushy mix of snow and ice," he said. "It could be treacherous in the hills tomorrow morning."

Winds are expected to range between 10 and 25 mph.

A high surf warning also is in effect through noon Saturday along the coast from Sonoma County to Santa Cruz County. Swells could reach 17 feet, Anderson said.

sunny garcia does not drink,says it makes him think about weird shit.whats up with all the pot smokers still spliffing up,bong hitting fools....get a vaporizer cleaner high and saves the lungs

**reload, reload**

little hard to hit the vaporizer in traffic, walking down the street or pre-surf while changing at the base of the cliff. you could, but......

singlehitbatinthepocket4lyfe!

Kaiser - nice pic

that's right bitches! i won again!!

Bats rule. Also most efficient when the bud is as good as it is here.

saw a dude pull out the vaporizer on the zeitgeist patio once. very funny. they made him put it away though.

you guys make me feel better about my pot habit

baseball isnt even a sport

Are you a petri dish?

I dont care who smokes pot or not!

i hate you

As seen on Break.com

You have been made.

No hey man war is cool.

I see those two ladies on the north end too. All the time.

is it too late for this???

What up with Ferraris photo, nothing since December?? Did he move

i was late....but didn't claim

i can't remember an photographable days round here since dec.

Thanks e. There's an old guy in his 80's who shows up year round at one of my favorite spots and swims out in a rash guard and trunks. He came down those 100+ stairs one early one December morning when the buoy was calling it 10' at 20 sec says "nice day" and jumps right in it. NOAA is calling for snow at sea level tonight. I'll bet the old guy skis down for a swim in the morning if that happens.

I've got to tip my cap to Clark. Given how the rest of the winter has gone I think he picked the best day of the YEAR to have his contest. No it wasn't huge but it was the best combo of conditions/size I've seen this year. Say what you will about that expliotation, waaa waaa waa, but that is a commendable feat. Maybe its just luck given that last year's contest sucked but hey, I enjoyed that day at work watching that NBC stream. Thanks dude!

nah, it was just luck, jeff's an exploiter.

I've heard another version of machine gun on some obscure recording, or maybe it was a clip in a movie, but it didn't compare to the fillmore east version. I always wondered about the film from the rest of that gig-I had only seen a short clip of machine gun in various movies, but I found a movie of the gig on netflix. It's in my cue. Jimi rules rock, but I like flamenco as much or more. Tomatito, Paco de Lucia, Nino Miguel, etc.
