beautiful day, sunny sky, but...
Brutal this morning out at the beach. Lerm and I charged it near the middle and i just got my ass whooped and spanked and molested... and not in a good way! ermm. i mean.. uhh.. It was as if OB prepared this exquisite feast for me.. cooked it up all night.. then presented to me this shining, brilliant silver platter filled with fruit cake and gravy and trimmings but with my ass plastered right in the middle. yup.. got my ass handed to me on a silver platter. fuuck. From the great highway there looked to be some makeable sections on the outside and maybe only 3 or 4 rows of meandering white-water to punch through to get out. ha ha ha ha!! Can you say rejected! yup.. I really didn't even get close to the outside this morning.. After getting sucked south 4 blocks in 10 minutes and making very little headway.. Maybe 25 duckdives to the wind with maybe 50 more to get outside.. my head felt like it would freeze and then shatter into millions of pieces.. kinda like the bad-guy in Terminator 2 when they pour the liquid nitrogen on him. god damn.. worst ice-cream headache of my life.. even worse than from the south philly italian water ices i used to snarf down too quickly as a kid. I mean. i was literally grasping my head with my hands in an effort to warm up. off my board just floating.. doing everything possible to keep my head above water. I think it's time for a hood. for sure.. The other thing making the paddle out tough was the fact that the destination, the outside lineup, looked anything but inviting. Overhead++ chunky mounds of destruction looked like some type of hell's watery chamber of death.. they spit, raged, pounded, closed-out, and just snarled with this menacing, "don't fuck with me you cretin surfer!" look to them.. soo.. it wasn't like there were perfect waves beckoning at the end of the rainbow to make the multi-multi-duckdive paddle-out worth it. I felt bad for Lerm because he was actually making some progress but i lost the spirit for it early and just kinda floated there, dejected but relieved at not having to suffer through more ice-cream headache.. I think that my giving up effected his own drive.. but.. just before arriving at the last little push before making it outside.. Lerm got nailed by a larger set and ended up floating in...
one of the worst sessions of my life. but still kinda fun.
soo. upwelling? why is it so cold?
god.. SC county might be good-times later with the lower tide.. all y'all wally-work-at-homers and umberto-unemployeds and freddy-flexible-schedule and terrence-trustafarian and inglebert-internet-millionaire get yo arse down there and get some o dat.

Posted by: j at April 2, 2004 10:05 AMI just wanted to give a heads up that Aqua Surf Shop is sponsoring this Sunday's beach clean up at Sloat. Everyone who picks up a bag of trash will receive a raffle ticket for a new Greenbrew skateboard. Also, all tickets are good for a free bar of wax. The clean up will be Sunday from 10-12pm at Sloat. I'll provide bags and gloves, so all you need to do is show up some time in that window. Beverages will be provided afterwards at Aqua. See ya there.
Posted by: adam at April 2, 2004 10:09 AMyeah. i was so bummed not to get some waves! according to blakestah, the winds are switching around. figures.
nice pix. e, you got style.
Posted by: lerm at April 2, 2004 10:18 AMFuck with the bull........
Posted by: pez at April 2, 2004 10:21 AMSOL, ah thanks j, that was good for a laugh or several. yikes, e, thought OB looked sorta fun driving by this morn on the way to some silly onshore Lindamar. kinda glad now that mi ola amiga who is just getting her surf legs was with me--don't think I could have handled the ol ass-on-a-platter routine this morn! Way to find some happiness in it though!
How's it lookin fer tomorrow morn?
Posted by: ben at April 2, 2004 10:25 AMpez, true. word homie. e cool pics! j, haha I have gumbi on my computer.. soooo.. I love stitching/sewing my own wetsuit.. damn ripcurl. And damn aqua-tape crap that comes out 2 months after I buy a brand new wetsuit. Oh well, maybe SC journ today. Niceness BBQ this weekend? :)
Posted by: Ian at April 2, 2004 10:26 AMah, and nice pics--dig the body-jive spray-throwin shot.
Posted by: ben at April 2, 2004 10:28 AMIce cream headache research: "The cause is a dilation of blood vessels in the head. The dilation may be caused by a nerve center located above the roof of your mouth - when this nerve center gets cold, it seems to over-react and tries to heat your brain."
By chance I found a technique that helps. Open your mouth as wide as possible and take very slow but deep breaths. Seems that the slow breathing allows the air to warm somewhat before getting into your lungs and shaking hands with your bloodstream. Works for me, at least. Of course, E, this may look kinda' silly in the line-up and ruin your elegant style.
Sorry the pics aren't higher quality. . . Between the fog and the mist and the inner bar OB just sucks for photography (unless you're Mexisurf).
Posted by: Bruce at April 2, 2004 10:30 AMHi all, so, i just graduated from college and am off on one last spasm before i join you guys with the dp's before work. leaving later in april, I'm gonna have 2.5 weeks in Brisbane/Sydney area, then 2.5 weeks in Tahiti. I'll be travelling solo in australia and for a week in tahiti until i meet up with a buddy who's showing up with a boat.
I just wanted to tap into the vast knowledge and stoke of E's to get any inside info that i can and recomendations of cheap places to crash near surf. I'm an intermediate surfer, so i'm not gonna be charging t-poo. not bringing a board, but maybe picking one up in AU.
anybody that wants to spread their scoop can email me at
Thanks for the reads E
Posted by: letmepretend at April 2, 2004 10:33 AMIf I had a quarter for every sesh stuck in OB chunder, a dime for every bonefrigidizing reverseprogress duckdive, a penny for every yard swept south or northh....... I would be Trent Trustafar with a phat ass quiver and more airmiles logged to warm places than a Canadian Goose
OB- what a bastion of emotional and sensory oveload
E- remember this day in a few weeks when throwing phat warm Nica buckets. But please come home from CA . This office job loses luster without the Niceness report and daily vibe

Posted by: e at April 2, 2004 10:42 AMe, upwelling occurs when the spring trades (nw wind) blow across the warmer surface water which causes churn bringing up colder water from the deep. certain facing secluded coves such as the one you surfed last weekend are where you can feel the affect of this year round.
aborted dp attempt at a beach further south. looking a lot like spring. had the skate and carved empty beach parking lot feeding the jones. now in cube land it's con call hell from here on out. thank goodness for skateboards.
wishing everyone to find a way to flow freely this weekend.
Posted by: 3to5setsof7 at April 2, 2004 10:47 AMI saw all the talk about F----'s yesterday and had to tell my own story. I grew at the north end of Big Sur and as a kid surfed every little nook and cranny on that stretch including the Monterey Peninsula and Moss Landing.
Posted by: El Gato at April 2, 2004 10:49 AMOnce as a young grom I was surfing a little cove just north of F---'s...it was unusually good with slightly overhead glassy barrels like I'd never seen at this spot before. I must've had an hour of solo session in which I had one of the best times of my life. A pack of 6 guys who were probably in their 40's paddled out and I instantly recognized them as the older Fullers crew. Immediately they started yelling at me to get out of the water and go back to the valley.... I stood my ground as I felt that I had every reason to be there and they actually circled me and started trying to take shots at my head. I was f'in pist as I was only about 15 at the time...surfing way better than any of them...and all in my own backyard were guys as old as my own father taking shots at me. I could deal with this if it was actually in the lineup at F----'s, but this was a spot that rarely ever broke and there were tons of waves coming in.
Anyway, my point is that I know a lot of the guys down there and I understand their passion for that spot and that stretch of coat...most of the true locals are cool....but most of the real asses are trust fund middle aged guys from Carmel. You never know who you're gonna get down there.
Real surfers are travelling surfers and everyone at some point is going to be the outsider trying to get waves on someone else's turf. Respect the locals...that point has been lost it seems. And if you are a local...enforce this code when necessary but don't become that bitter 43 year-old throwing punches at a teenager...
Just another rant I guess....
nice post el gato
Posted by: bbr at April 2, 2004 10:57 AMBTW: The first shot E posted of the steep drop on a left is Suneil Thomas,my personal attorney, AKA "The Angry Indian." Suneil spent 3 months in the Maldives this fall as a surf guide, only to return for a southern atolls boat trip last week. Bastard.
Anyway nice drop Suneil, it looks like Ocean Beach has begun outsourcing some of the better lefts to India.

Posted by: barney at April 2, 2004 11:07 AMI woke early for my hunting trip, looked in front of e's stretch. Not for me. Went to another bar, that was looking better, still not great, and I wrote it off to exercise. 15 duckdives and I'm out, grab a few mushy windswelly waves, and head in. Winds shifted while I was out, started blowing offshore. Figures. Got my arms worked out and such, and grabbed a few RFS turns.
For ice cream headaches. There was this surfer here named Mike who always let his Australian Shepherd dog, named Buddy, run loose while he surfed. The dog would cross the Great Highway several times, roam all over Fort Point, etc, but stayed out of trouble. Anyway, Mike had a veritable forest in his scalp, and claimed you shouldn't worry about ice cream headaches - they go away after about the 12th duckdive, and won't bother you after that. Mike was full-on niceness, hasn't been around for 4-5 years or so. I'm sure kdalle remembers him - this was back when he and I saw each other regularly.
Shipped another unit today...for a fun/longboard.
Winds this weekend are forecast to be a little better...we're always on the cusp of rideable surf...just gotta wake early, and see how the winds blew last night...if they've been under 15 knots since 2 AM, it is time to surf.
Posted by: blakestah at April 2, 2004 11:16 AMLetmepretend:
The coast in btw Sydney and Brisbane is unreal. Great camping spots. Super scenic. Every set up imaginable for surf....points, reefs, miles of beach break. I would look around in between the Coff's Harbor and Crescent Head area's. Buy the NSW surf guide, its pretty good.
I would get out of Sydney and stay short of the Brisbane area if you want to get waves without ridiculous crowds.
Damn I could use a trip to Australia, have fun.
Posted by: tucker at April 2, 2004 11:26 AMI live above that 'secret' spot in Nth P-town. Was windy from the north till around an hour ago, it's settled to just a few knots and looks like it may turn. One guy out blue board poo-stance) and he's getting some. If you can make it now, go, 'cause it may just be a lull. 'Course it may fully switch too....
Posted by: Al'. at April 2, 2004 11:28 AMOB: Ta-dah! I'm almost afraid to pin an obsevation down...what the heck is it doing out here? Odd, changeable day. Water surface
( from middle to outside ) seems fairly smooth, weird wind swooshing either straight from the north or almost offshore NE - I keep sticking my head out the window trying to guess. Heavy, serious juice and swell busting in [ or it was? ]...it's fast and powerful, been throwing crushing lips far out all morning. Yes some outside bars sometimes throwing too. Inside closeouts looked like they could take your head right off, though that board-breaking vibe has mellowed slightly over the last hour. Size...hm shoulder to clear OH plus on the outsiders that don't mush. It doesn't look crossed up but the peaks are fickle and despite minimal rows of whitewater, the paddle out looks bitchin'! . I bet it's working excellently on other parts of this coast. Could be excellent here too, but bring lots of time, patience, perfect timing, and rhino arm stregth. Also a motor on the back of your board to chase down those speedy monsters. Also a buoyant exeskeleton to protect your bones from wipeouts. Binocular sweep reveals a very scant few peeps out.
Dagnabbit I just checked again and now the wind has mellowed out, offshore? Waves down too, plus now the inside is more mixed. Farking no idea. Changing all over the place, fast. Will it get better, will it get worse? Worth a gamble? Sunny with vague haze, unless it's my dirty windows. Will it hold, and what is it holding anyway?
Will come back if there's a radical change. Cheers,
Posted by: s.s. sharkbait at April 2, 2004 11:40 AMI'm baked. Got brutalized too this morning. Started at Kirkham ended up at Pacheco by the time I got out. Ditched the longboard and swam to get past the cracks.

Lotsa dudes out, lotsa waves too, but damn that water is cold today. I think this was the coldest I've been all winter- but this was the best sesh all week.

Posted by: e at April 2, 2004 01:10 PMI was out at the north end of OB from 7-8. Got outside, went over the falls on one wave, and was rejected geating back out. Massive ice cream headache.
Posted by: Joe O at April 2, 2004 01:12 PMjust came back from kelly's and it's going off. many, many barrels with rippers inside. many people sprinting from parking lot to water. south end is bigger and windier - with the sole surfer catching big, long rides.
Posted by: rza at April 2, 2004 01:18 PMget out while you can!
being a soul surfer is a state of mind - it is possible with only you and the water - even possible with you and a crowd - the important part is what is inside your head - there is no need to have no possessions - there is no need to have them - it is what is inside your head that counts. If you are a true soul surfer, no one can take that away.
See the wave, join the wave.
Hope your leg heals, kdalle. I'm retrofitting the Hinds with a rotating fin, and I want you to test-pilot if for a few rides.

UH, anyway, trusty dog-fur-o'-meter indicates very mild NW onshores. Sunny, warm, but inside is totally crunched up, all over more crunched up. At least as far as I could see from the beach walk. Due to light winds other spots still goodly surfable?
Posted by: s.s. sharkbait at April 2, 2004 04:12 PMwow.. shifty peaks at Rockaway, these thick-ass barrels were breaking in about 2 ft. of water. I wish I had a water-proof to take out there, would've been some cool lookin shots. Shared them with my good friend.The only thing it reminded me of is pictures I've seen of Murph's bar, and Tpoo (scaled down about 100 times.) they were no larger than shoulder high but they way they were sucking out from the inner sandbar was insane!

Posted by: Ian at April 2, 2004 06:53 PMmost of you reading this probably understand that my "soul surfer" post was in jest.
in my mind.....the description of a "soul surfer" does not exist anyplace. other than in each of our mindsand it is always open to changes and interpretations. the standards are different for each surfer. we all have our own criteria and mine is a criteria I could never meet personally and almost all surfers don't meet it.
it is a label that i feel is the highest compliment one can bestow on a surfer they respect so ya can't just give the honor away.
however no one who call's themselves a "soul surfer" can ever really be a "soul surfer"
i personally have only met a few "soul surfers"...some rip and some just glide but it's not what happens on the wave(maneuvars/trim speed/wave size/equipment) that makes them soul. (although a certain level of competence is required in my personal thoughts of what a soul surfer is)
but criteria #1 is certainly a devotion to the ocean and many of you who read and many of you who post on this site surely have that.
Ethan on my list has completed many of the requirements for the title and with time who knows? (skill level, dedication, ocean understanding, travel, knowledge, respect, community etc.)
For those who know Pez....you can see some "soul" in him for reasons I won't divulge here.
Odd Todd?...pretty soul in my book.
Rastovich and Donavon? Uh....n'op. (although surfing so well that you get paid to travel all over to perfect waves with buddies is pretty souly)
But a soul surfer I'm not in my opinion. And I don't think I ever will be......
I want to be a "good tube rider" "a guy with a good roundhouse" "a guy who throws buckets" " a charger"
but for now? ...just a regular surfer with a solid bottom turn (who occasionaly can snatch the wave of the day!)
and a sarcastic mofo...
i just want to be a guy who's drunk....but dammit if something at work done broke
Posted by: j at April 2, 2004 07:47 PMahhh, so niceness this eve! Geez that was nice. Perfect spot, fun, almost clean waves, no one around but a handful of smiling, clued-in terra firma folks chilling and walking with dogs and loved ones. got to wish the sun bon voyage too (bye big fire ball, have a good one, see you early on the other horizon!). So pleasantly blissed right now that I'm thinking you're ALL soul surfers! Cheers! Jake, don't know ya, but you're the man--un amor from this beautiful stretch of coast to your spot in the sun!

Posted by: dano at April 3, 2004 02:48 PMweekendedness tail end of the friday posts. Boy that fog line is the fun guv'ner. It moves in and clean bails. Definitely glad I got out, although it was partly staying on top of the joneses. Random thought/question: Is OB the best spot or what for preparing to surf anywhere else? Lately it even provides crowd surfing skill development. If you get to SC midweek, some of those waves are soo...easy, perfect, predictable to get into and ride. Today made a lot of really good surfers look average.
Posted by: banjo at April 3, 2004 06:29 PMBanjo, I dunno.. I always wonder does surfing a lot in crap waves make you a better surfer for perfect waves, or does surfing in perfect waves make you a better surfer in crap waves? I dunno.. maybe it's both.
Posted by: Ian at April 3, 2004 11:39 PMI hope for help
Posted by: Cicatrix at April 4, 2004 06:41 AMDid anyone know keli everett???
Thanks
Ian, good comment. Some of it has to come down to water time. Conditions so sucky that you know it wouldn't work are unproductive. But a lot of times OB is just big and surfable, but challenging. I once saw Sean Thompson go out at Kelly's after I had a miserable surf in cross-chop, onshore jumble that kept throwing me off my board. He caught two waves and went in. It was so cool watching a great surfer struggle with the same side vectors as me. OB levels the playing field, and for me makes it easier to deal with challenging conditions elsewhere. Maybe its typical lack of predicability takes something off developing pro-level chops. The best rock climbers are (were?) toproping to preview where to do what. You can't sit on a lineup here and work on one thing. But I'm still learning lots. Like how different conditions here, even in the same general wave size, suggest different boards. Lately I'd love to have a fish. Different style of surfing. Fog surfing - not.
Posted by: banjo at April 4, 2004 09:00 AMKeli Everett, young surfer from Hana? I talked to him briefly over a year ago. Why?
RE schooling at OB: I could yak forever about this, will spare you folks but my overall impression is it's damn tough but OB is a fantastic teacher. Farking Difficult to get rides but going to other local breaks [ when I was consistent here, pre injury ] I realized I'd taken things with me, or at least sped up the learning process, that I didn't know I had. Figuring out duckdiving, reading weird waves, and of course, becoming familiar with the beatings!

Posted by: Cicatrix at April 4, 2004 10:40 AMjeah, right the young surfer from hana-maui. i meet him 3weeks ago in miami and i will fly to maui this summer to learn more surfing because you can not learn wave surfing in germany, but you can learn wind surfing and kite surfing.
Nice shots of OB, Are you professor clueless?
