E's Surf Report: lumpy, bumpy, schrumpy... rideable..

whattup all y'all playaz! OB looking tame and smaller compared to the lofty precipi of this past week.. from the lot shit looked disheveled.. kinda tousled like a squinty-eyed, makeup-smeared coed doing the 6am walk-of-shame across campus from the delta chi house.. or something.. With moral encouragement from the Lerminator... who has been overwhelmed with that ailment we all know too well... "olas lackiosis." It's a chronic ailment only treatable by long, fast rides down the line or epic jam sessions that stave off the lust.... somewhat.. anyway.. we paddle out at VFers.. 200 annoying little duckdives later were out there.. or.. at least I'm out there.. turns out Schlerm got caught in some shoreward-moving rip and spent 15 minutes paddling on the OB treadmill.. d'oh.. anyway.. Kaiser's out there with us too.. and maybe 1 or 2 others spread across the whole of VFers. Kaiser takes off on a quickly pitching overhead bomb and eats it. I Take off on a barrelly left and face-plant.. Kaiser takes off again and yard-sales.. The waves were backing off.. the quickly pitching and screaming.. then backing off.. It was frustrating.. we were surfing shittily.. We slowly got sucked north and conditions kept shifting and altering ever so slightly.. we were out too far.. then too far inside.. then a weird inside warble fucked waves up.. then flatness.. everything and anything except smoothly tapering, rideable waves.. i finally (after about 30 minutes) schnagged a little left and worked a small turn. Kaiser nabbed a fun left.. Lerm still frothing and suffering acutely from his "olas lackiosis." He starts paddling into any little semi/maybe rideable blip that comes his way and manages to catch a few little nug-huffers. The three of us agree that conditions pretty much absolutely suck.. Kaiser cruises home.. I catch another left.. duckdive 380 times to get back out.. then catch a really fun right!! do a few snaps.. felt good.. i was smiling and all of a sudden my mood wasn't so dour and i didn't mind all the duckdiving... funny what one good ride will do!!... then lerm takes one in.. then a few moments later this walling, set-wave right marches in and i scramble to get over the ledge.. make the drop and just weave and pump along the quickly peeling wave.. maneuvering through and around disagreeable irregularities in the wave face but at the same time enjoying a long, fast, rippy ride.. PSYCHED!!! I came in after that one and Lerm is still suffering from his ailment, having scored minimal solid rides.. but i have trouble empathizing cause i lucked into two fun-lovin' OB walls...

soo.. in conclusion.. there are waves out there.. the sun is out.. the wind is offshore.. the duckdive/ride ratio stands at about 129/1.. even though it doesn't look like it from the lot.. if you're patient and willing to put yourself in harms way.. good rides await!

thanks for alll your point dume stoke.. i'm definitely gonna cruise down there soon and take my boy Fromo up on his offer to take me out there... but.. with no significant swell forcasted.. i think i'm gonna hang with the lady in slo-town.. dress up as the Tooth Fairy for the costume party.. and enjoy my birthday surfing clean waves in Los Osos..

mundaka... both slater and taj advance..
