E's Surf Report

third post

the bottom pic is an authentically utilized wave.

some barney from bullyville taking off in the wrong spot and an authentic efficiency expert quickly recognizes 2 strokes and sli slides in to the empty tube while barner from people-who-intimidate-others-land takes a trip to the reef and back to the end of the line. no one will give said barney from i-make-fun-of-other-people-land the benefit of the doubt for the rest of the session since he is a wave waster

That's what I'm talking about.

ASL BAAAAY BEEEEE

anon, you're an oxygen waster.

wow, that anon post just changed. i thought I was going crazy - nice edits though.

Great piece this morning e. Some days everyone should be required to read your prose. Makes me want to bust outta this place and get.

bali waves always look so easy on film and they are so not. i sometimes wonder how much better i could surf the place if i could get back there now that i have 6 more years of surf experience under my belt. probably not much. and i probably won't find out for a while.

nice story, e.

Surfrider Foundation announced that Pearl Jam, a Seattle-based foursome who perform something called "grunge" music, will donate $1 from
every ticket sold for their upcoming L.A. shows to the Save Trestles campaign.
The money will be donated through the band's Vitalogy Foundation in the name of Dave "The Rapscallion" Russell. Base ticket price is $49 plus $2 to Vitalogy. The Forum seats up to 18,000 people for concerts.
"Our planet and the ocean are currently under siege due to certain peoples overwhelming need to profit at our fragile environments expense. Dave
Russell was a surfer and activist who worked tirelessly to defend against these threats, and it is in his name that we would like to offer our assistance to Surfrider Foundation and the California coast," said Pearl Jam singer Ed Vedder.
Russell, longtime friend of the band and Surfrider supporter, was busy chronicling the history of the Surfrider Foundation when it was discovered he had a rare form of thyroid cancer. The friend of musicians and surfers shuffled off his mortal coil on Feb. 1, 2006 at the age of 39.
Pearl Jam play the Forum on July 9th and 10th. Tickets available at Ticketmaster

cool story e
YUK, today the ocean color looks just like the old sewage treatment holding tanks(facility)at deer island.(if you know where that is have some chowda on me)
In the 70s those tanks overflowed directly into the harbor every time it rained or snowed.
But we surfed the nearby cobblestone reef anyway.
Some of the fish we caught had tumors.
Maybe thats where my dain bramage came from.

i had a dream about sunshine.
warm radiant sun on my face. the light glimmering
off the glassy surface of the ocean. blue skies.
cloudless days and long shadows cast after a day
of being outside and dry.

the drool on the pillow woke me up and
i am still wet.

i spent 6 years in oregon's willamette valley and
can safely say that this is ridiculous.

Sorry Korewin, but i LOVE THE RAIN!! please let it keep raining. i'm loving this!! so beautiful.
I'm weird in that i get depressed in the neverending sunshine and psyched on pouring rain.

thanks for reading the story steamwand, dr. dawn, F#1 and others.

you are a better man than me e or less
of a plant than i am. rock on brother....

Wow what a bright spot in an other wise shitty last 24hours, thanks e for sharing. Holey shit is that the sun I see, now.

NICE ONE TODAY E! I think I may have to head north on Friday.

e
I get a great charge when it rains.
Must be the negative ions...
sure beats snow and ice ...eh.

hey kaiser that looks like david carson*'s house...
nice spot.

and NOW the sun comes out. sonuvabitch!
stuck in the office/ meetings all day.

fark!

graphic designer of ray gun/ beach culture fame.
has a d-o-p-e place in the caribbean right above a
nice little point break....

Hi!

Woa, my head hurts. Drinkin on a school night. What was I thinkin?

ASL?

Ahhh, now this is more like it...blissful moderated niceness!

Now, who hasn't had a turn swinging from thE'se?

I snorkeled in H*****ua Bay last summer. Not being so familiar with coral reefs, I was surprised to find the reef was made up of huge individual bulbs sticking up from a sandy bottom. I guess I was expecting to see a solid reef shelf. It was calm as a pond while I was there :-(

reefs are like chocolates......

another great little story.....i'm becoming more and more confident that you'll someday have something published.

those nusa pics are sweet! i'd give a few thousand to be transported there right NOW!

Nice piece E.

Wow a David Carson reference on the e blog, nice Korewin. I remember when he jumped to SURFER for a while, post-Raygun. So many graphic designers and magazines started biting off of Carson it got ridiculous. It's good to remember the originator!

Korewin I bet you're a big Shawn Wolf fan, too?

North Point water treatment station has overflowed raw effluent into the Bay again, I'm callin poo-water for all my SF surfing brethren. Cuidado!!!

Great story e, keep on going with the good stuff.

thanks dudes.

more ancient jetty poems please.

oops.. meant "Ancient Jetties"

sorry.

Sean Wolfe:

That is Honolua Bay, my friend. I caught the longest wave of my life there. See where that second wave is breaking - just inside of Coconuts? (the first point) I took off there, and just pumped it for all I was worth. It took me past the second point, into that next bay, and all the way to the "boat ramp," which is about where those palm trees sticking out are.
I finally wiped out because I was getting dangerously close to an overhanging tree branch and took my eyes off the wave for a second. It clipped me and dragged me across some coral, but I was just cracking up laughing underwater. Great pic, just seeing it gets me SO stoked! Mahalo.

P.S. It went flat a few days later and I snorkeled it. You know the Cave of Death? Man, it really is just as gnarly as they say. Big ol' elkhorn coral just waiting to grab you and your board and shred you like taco meat. Wish I hadn't done that...

What's cool about that place is the scraps. You can let the locals sit on the first peak and you can go off and grovel for scraps...and they're the best freakin' scraps you've ever gotten in your life. I'm talkin' 75 yard-long scraps. Dem's some good scraps.
Also, that cliff over the Cave - locals will set up beach chairs for da wives and chat with them while they wait. The really cool wives will even go, "Eh! Outside!" Plus it's the best place to watch people surf ever. (Pipe excepted.)

good shit, ancient jettys...

"Dem some good scraps!"
That's my new credo. Especially when I travel. Don't want to upset the natives, you know.
Shoot, that could be my new credo for women in bars too! Especially as I approach 40 years of age.
Come to think of it, just living in the Bay Area is like chasing scraps...

Sorry to say, I'm a scrap chaser too...

All lies all the time. Stay tuned for more lies.

thankx ancient jetties for the visuals....

i can say NOW : "i know that dude."

right on. yeah carson was/ is kind of
a tool though. he stole a lot of the beach culture
stuff from a dude name chris vice. carson is also
a pig with the ladies. nothing like plump, tan rock
star designer 40 something dude coming to your
univeristy class and macking on 18 year olds....
and the 18 year olds saying how creepy it is. blecch.

oh well. back to the scrap chasin'!

pixelicious

-Sometimes these older, wealthy, well-kept Cougars would invite Abe to their multi-million dollar Napa mansions for long weekends of design-discussion, wine and vigorous fornication.

sweet!

Hi Guys, it's Donovan here, can you call Sarah and NoName at Alice 97.3FM and request that they play my new single?

Thanks.

I just loaded Windows XP on my Mac. Works great:

Donavan Frankenreiter here. You square headed people up there in San Francsico are off your rockers. I play music becasue I love it. I am tied to the local surfing mafia who alerted me to this website; the one causing so much libel. I can surf better than all of you put toghether and this includes your fantasy surfing selves as well.
Dickey and I are giving surfing demonstrations today at a place near the bridge. Check us out or shut the hell up.

nice air hockey table

get a haircut donovan

dang jenn, your stoked on the air hockey.

and furthurmore skating is way cooler than surfing;

http://www.crailtap.com/c3/feature_features/choco%20uk%20&%20fr%20DV%20export.mov

I feel pretty good about myself. I surf decently, I live by the beach, I have a good job, a beautiful wife, an awesome little kid.

Maybe that's why I never feel the need to talk mass shit about people like Donovan or the like. Lot's of insecure trolls out here on the internet. The most irritating person in the world is someone who is overly critical about everything, and everyone, but doesn't offer any thing of their own to be critiqued.

i'm a slut. critique away!!

you blow a good horn too

seems that my company filters out onions in addition to all the usual filtered stuff. maybe we should start calling them something else.

Korewin: Ha, Carson's lookin' real good huh? On paper at least ;)...I guess you can't blame a guy for trying to leverage that cachet/fame. I had no idea he borrowed from this guy Chris Vice, though. I guess as an artist it's hard not to bite a little style from your predecessors along the way, these days.

Re Jenn Sterger post, I was thinking the same thing: Apple announces that the "blue screen of death" is now available for everyone! Stock rises 12%!!

wow i've never seen folly break llike that. and i've seen a fair amount of folly, enough to move.

she ain't worried about runoff

no, it looks like it will pool up nicely on the small of her back.

Actually, the most irritating and asinine people in the world are the ones that repeatedly tout their higher ideals all the while stealing from their employers for no higher purpose than their own entertainment. No amount of Surfrider or Sierra Clubbing will tip the karmic scales in your favor.

I love female ass!

praise the lord!

more than a few of you = bitter unemployed guy

damn "more than a few." thanks for making me feel shitty about not being %110 productive every second of every minute of all 9 hours i sit in front of the all-glowing computer monitor every day! Thanks. I'm a thieving, asinine, irritating, immoral jerk.

most employers only ask their employees to 'limit' their personal internet usage. of course, bitter unemployed guy wouldn't know about that. Personally, I do not use the computer at work for excessive internet usage, as I am often too busy making paycheck deposits and counting up all my money.

"more than a few of you" = Scientologist = liar/hypocrite. Guaranteed.

This is how I waste my time at work

you should spend your time making that site run a bit faster. like 21st century fast. yawn.

Ouch that hurt

sorry, but that applet load was painful too.

check this isotope http://www.haptek.com/

Ouch! hit a nerve did we? I'm bittersweet, gainfully self-employed but since I'm on niceness that probably makes me a hypocrite.

Stoopid java, that does it .NET it is

Seeing that I'm employed I'm going to buy a Haut 10'
My question is should I pay $150 and get the wood inlayed version or not.
Seems kind of vain to pay more for how a board looks if it floats the same

I do not care about media mongers or people covered by the mags, what they are doing, where they are going or where they have been. They are selling and I'm not buying. They try to sell you the ASL, but it cannot be bought, only lived uniquely by each of us. I cancelled my subscriotions to the mags because they do not speak to me or even for Surfing. they speak for their advertisers.

just figured that one out?

nah, known it for a long time, I just like to espouse randomly

i know how you feel

phish still kicks ass. as long as the song is longer than 20 minutes and they aren't singing.

I went out for dinner last night, some hip hop guy at the next table said the phish was good, so I had some. it was alright.

ha! nice one meat eater.

420

That dudes nose is so gnaaarrrrrr

thought of offering them a hit decided not.
too bad people just dont know.

nice on toneman!

puff puff give.

that girl might have no ass but she looks cute and fun and sexy. i'd hit that so hard. oh my gawd!

Damn job keeping me from enjoying 4:20 in my backyard.

i'd eat it, then hit it.

I'd shove my nose so far up it I'd be smellin dingleberries for a week

That jizzy, man, is one funny guy

Sacto, got a high res version of that wave photo? Good waves were had there the past few days. Too bad the streak is over as of today with the wind, swell change.

Hit me up, aloha2ian at yahoo

did I forget to mention that waking up early to avoid paying the camping fee while travelling in foreign countries is stealing too? Well, if I did, it is. Have a larcenous...I mean niceness evening. Maybe pull a runner at Marnee Thai?

Thanks e.

Agreed. Thanks E.

that looks like a realy nice board. love those fins.

Today featured some interesting sandbar-dropoff juxtapositions. Got dragged off one ledge and was standing about chest deep when I felt a decent sized fish (not a shark) rub past my leg. Trippy! Any striper fishermen out there? Deys fish in dem holes.
