E's Surf Report

No again, ONSHORE, are you talking about kite/wind surfing south of OB?

one good thing about music, when it hits you you feel no pain

thought the last post from last nite was interesting and worth repeating...

"the hmb city council by the way just approved the wavecrest development project. you talk about yuppies and dot-com folks, when it is your own long-time local residents on the city council who are selling the region out. you know who oscar braun is, man? any idea how much that one guy -- as a local landowner -- has done to PREVENT preservation and conservation in the area? sheit. "dot-coms" ain't got NOTHIN' to do with it.

try getting your news from a local newspaper instead of surfermag, man."

-elf (wonder if he's talkin elf bikes, those were the shiiiiit back in the day, but i was a fat little kid, not really cut out for 'extra light frames')

Bringing the HMB development agenda to the table from yesterday's thread, that's total bullshit.

Although I live 3 towns up from HMB now, I still regard the area as sacred.

I was walking the beach below the Ritz and noticed all the bright green golf course fertilizers flowing down a waterfall straight to the ocean. Again, fucking bullshit. Fish and marine life can't take that shit.

The place is farmland, not Atherton-by-the-sea. I'm sure the farms dump too, but that is for food, not for billionares to play some retarded game.

If you live there get involved, all we can do from here is bitch.

checked it but didn't surf. so small! man, i can't wait 'til september! e, you aren't missing shit bro. rest and heal.

Klooless, ever notice that supposed shark sightings crop up right where you'd just gone surfing? Isn't this like the third time? What kind of nefarious shenanigans are you up to out there? heh ;)

http://www.surfpulse.com/shark9.shtml

Golf is a retarded game? I wish i had a swedish supermodel wife and a billion dollars.Tiger is a Figgen Pimp.

Right you are! Clean and small--at least it was at DP. Maybe shouldda brung the funboard, but optimistically I shortboarded it. Still I managed to grab enough 2-ft rides to nowhere to add actiony spice to the glassy sense of well-being. I'd driven all of OB and there were zero takers, reasonably enough.

Advice-parasite query #43: I've only been on a shortboard for a little while, but several times I've botched take-offs with my back foot slipping off (more often I've botched them with my front foot tangled in the leash; maybe that's #44). Casting about for something to blame other than my manifest lack of ability, I've been wondering if a traction pad would be worthwhile---gift or gimmick?

Sharkbait: no, no, this time the shark came the day BEFORE I kloolessly surfed in exactly the same spot. Still, add this to the long and growing lists of reasons to avoid being near me in the lineup.

http://www.bmxmuseum.com/4images80s/82torker.jpg TORKER RULES!

Golf's retarded. Tiger is really talented at walking around hitting a ball with a stick. Whoa impressive.

Golf is the only sport where the guy mowing the grass gets more exercise than the player.

Klooless; before, after, it's always within one day or two. I say you're up to no good to HOG ALL THE WAVES! And psst re: #43, try waxing the bottom of your foot. Works for me I swear

You ever see me play golf?

Besides, I bet you are good at other "sports" like fishing! Yeah, that is a good one. Unless you are pulling in a marlin, tuna, great white, or the like, your little flounder isn't much of a workout either.

Sucks that the locals in Pathetica/Moss Beach/HMB et al will be invaded one day. But, that day will come with Charlie Land Owner decides his day is coming and he can't hold on forever. Besides, his blue collor, drug addicted, hasn't-graduated-from-high-school-yet, 35 year old kid is expecting the inheritance.

Yeap, sucks. But, tis life.

Don't worry, I will just fly circles around the world and turn back time so we can fix things.

Did it once for Lois, I can do it again for HMB and the rest.

Glad to hear it was small this am--Seriously considered getting up when the clock said 5am, then closed my eyes and it was 7:30--no dp for me.

sharkbait: your advice on waxing the foot made me laugh out loud in wonderment--it sounded so silly but as i think about it, it's brilliant. thanks for the new perspective on traction!!

key-low: relax on the blind negativity. your comments on "billionaires" and reducing golf to "hitting a ball with a stick" are roughly equivalent to calling all who enjoy surfing "do-nothing bums" who just "stand on a board". There's fun and nuance in almost all sports (I've even been known to enjoy bowling and bocce, with the right crowd.)

anyway, that's all for me today. hope everyone has a good day and that the surf comes up a bit (i'd love to make a few drops before september).

key-low, you are ill informed about golf. sucks for you.

Golf is still weak, especially from a surfer's perspective. Maybe I'll think different when I'm one thousand years old and retired in Florida. Maybe, I'll claim to enjoy it when I have to schmooze a client for $$. Anyway, I'm sure I'd dominate and kick all you duffers asses.

Bowling is a drinking sport, Bocce is for million-year-olds in Pompei.

Tiger looks like he should be clearing tables at the Ritz.

(ooh that was mean)

golf course over conferance room for a meeting any day

sharkbait - i likewise wax the bottom of my feet. i do it every time i don't wear booties. A really good surfer keyed me in on that little tidbit.

I like this bottom turn (photos by lance smith from allaboutsurf.com)

Check out how dude is all relaxed while drawing a pretty radical, vertical line up the face.

... then a nice wack! off the top... yeah!

e, at least you've got an injury in the off season, in the last 2 weeks you haven't missed much at all.

MONKEY MILK

funny that golf comes up, i played while in FL last week and couldn't help think about the similarities to surfing.

i find the physical and mental aspects of golf and surfing comparable and even complentary. they require use of some of the same muscle groups. making a drop on a wave has some similar dynamics to hitting a golf ball (though the moving target in baseball/softball makes those even more comparable). i have also found that both can leave me with a similar relaxed feeling afterward -- especially after playing an uncrowded course, alone. and the hunt for the perfect board/quiver is also comparable to the hunt for the perfect driver/putter/irons. same with the hunt for the perfect spot/wave and course/hole.

but there are obviously major problems with the practices related to golf course development & maintenance (land & water use, pesticides). add the socio-economics of golf to the mix and there is more than ample reason to avoid the "sport" altogether. i don't play more than a few times each year because of this.

the surfing world is generally more environmentally-focused, but the surf eqiupment industry is certainly subject to similar criticisms about what it leaves behind - and is in some ways more suspect given where much of the production now happens.

and surfing also has it's own troubling social dynamics -- although this blog seems to me to mitigate those a bit.

so for me there is enough similarity between these two individualistic leisure pursuits that i consider them to fall into the same category -- right along with hunting & fishing. it's a tribute to the history of surfing and it's culture/community that surfing is not often lumped into the same category as these other pursuits, but i can't deny the similarities.

this photo really makes me want to surf some quality waves!! arghghgh!!

key-low - i know what you're saying about perceptions of golf culture. I too cringe at the country clubs, the big black cars, the snooty rich guys, the lame clothing, etc. But.. if you can divorce the game from the trappings and community that surround it, the game is actually pretty cool and extremely challenging. Try breaking 80 on a golf course. it's fucking hard as hell.

Wavecrest possibly on hold - red legged frog found on site....

on another rant...

The Ritz represents 25% of the city's tax base. I support the Ritz, the schools are crap in HMB and I don't mind selling out if it means that my children will have a stronger education system, and a more vibrant community from the money being spent in town.

Run-off from all the farming poses just as much threat from the golf course. I go running on the beach often south of the Ritz and I've never seen run-off from the golf course.

Golf feeds my family. Surfing feeds my soul.

Quality post today, E. Nice Groundation , sick OZphotos

I have to admit frisbee golf is kind of fun, but you need to be pretty baked.

Frisbee golf cancels out the development, billionares, servants, 500SEL's and 740IL's, etc.

More of a hippy, play in the woods on shrooms kinda thing.

wow the waves must be bad again in sf i hate how SF makes me hate summer..its alwayse been such a positive time for me..

i played golf for the 3rd time ever a few weeks ago and i connected a good whack and made it all the way to the green from the t off point or whatever it is..i cant say ive had a better feeling from surfing since..

Ya, it isn't visible runoff. That's the problem. It goes into the ground and seeps into the ocean without being seen. Watersheds travel underground.

I've never understood golf or its appeal but I am oddly unsurprised by the number of surfers who dig on it despite the obvious conflicts of environmental interest. Hell, Jeff Clark used to practice drives off the top of the cliff over mavs, according to local barstool chatter.

About the Ritz and related points: there are a lot of ways to manage "selling out" or the process of compromise to get what you want. I'd rather pay higher individual taxes than permit a corporation to come in, exploit some land and subsidize the local infrastructure in return. Its a bad trade IMO. Your kids will get a better education -- okay. What kind of place are they going to be living in, though, as a result?

25% is possibly too much to have coming from anyone or any one entity. I'm hoping that diversifying the tax base in HMB is part of what the whole downtown revitalization program was/is about. If the CC can get owners to stop rolling up the sidewalks at 5pm, locals might turn more cash back into the local economy instead of spending it up in the city or over the hill.

The surf ain't happening today.

Purposefully surfed straight into the shorepound last night (boredom I guess) and wound up with sand stuck way, way up in my sinuses. Oog.

OK duffers, let's turn the SM coast into 17 mile drive. Have fun paying $19 to drive through. Let's do cosmetic surgery on nature like we do to our trophy wives.

"Tiger looks like he should be clearing tables at the Ritz."

would you care to explain that comment keyster? some of us who look similarly might take offense.

just your typical day on the golf course

e-just saw your response from yesterday to my post. Getting some interesting scales would be great. Don't know when I'll get the time. Between home stuff, work and surf there is literally no spare time. Actually had to take my guitar to work to have the time to restring it on my lunch break.

ES335 is my favorite guitar. I imagine your '72 is a sweet one. I have a '67 that I've hung onto for 30 years. Hopefully someday you can show me those mysterious scales.

I aggree about some of the similarities about golf and surfing. Both very mental. You can have stellar days or walk away frustraited as hell or a huge smile on your face. The physical aspect of surfing vs golf is very different but in the end, surfing it self (post pop-up) is not that physical and, like golf, if your timing and overall feel is off that day then your done. In surfing the consequeses are greater.
Not defending the game really... just saying that there are some similarities.

'"Tiger looks like he should be clearing tables at the Ritz."

man you know the surf sucks when we start debating golf. IMHO, speed golf is the only fun golf variety. Kinda like playing polo but from a motorized cart instead of a horse. I have family in upstate new york and all the cousins worked at a golf course for summer $$ and used to play rounds of speed golf in the early mornings, with the grass super-slick from dew. Number of strokes doesn';t matter, you just have to get the ball into the holes fastest. Note- flipping carts can be quite painful, but they are surprising resilient to serious damage.

I don't use traction pads on my boards. When I ride a board with a traction pad, I don't notice the difference. My rear foot never slips off the back - for me the bad take-offs have my front foot not far enough forward, usually when I am tired.

Golf.....a supreme waste of land. Until about 20 years ago, I had a 2 handicap. I played dozens of times a year, competed, worked at golf course, my brother worked at a golf course. But when you come down to it - the course was more or less a club to keep out people that rich white christian men didn't want around. And still, most of the better golf courses exist, in part, to provide rich folks with a way to play and keep out people rich white christian men would rather not have around. And there's a part of me that can't really accept being a part of that.

If you take away all that, it is a monstrous challenge of a game, full of nuance, and technique, and skill. But still a supreme waste of land. A baseball field or soccer field takes the space of a fraction of one hole, and can entertain as many people as the entire golf course! It's funny also, because golf is changing and becoming an even more economically elitist sport, as the cost of land increases. It now cost more for the rich white christian men to be members, making it an even more elite club.

When all is said and done, I'd rather spend 4 hours

1) surfing 2 hours and playing with my family
2) riding my bike for 2 hours and playing with my family

than playing golf. I get a good workout, and spend less time isolating myself from my family.

I've played golf 7 times. The last 2 times I wanted to leave by the 9th hole. I rather play pitch and putt.

Ok Superman, if it's really YOU. why don't you blow us some sweet fetch every night with your super powers? And while your at it, some warm offshore breeze would be nice too. Save us from mediocry of our summer. Help us. Please.

The surf in HMB should def be regulated. But the town, no. The place is really a shit hole. Ever look at all the trash on HWY 1 from HMB to Montara. Ever notice all the dirty mother f'ers loitering up and down the highway. The schools suck, the people really are not that friendly. They come off as all "this is community" but they are all in their own world and walk around with scowls on their faces. The town is one big bitter, bitch fest. I say clean it up and the class the place up a bit. Heaven for bid you run into a 25 year local. They think they own the god damn place or are entitled.

Another funny thing. Holy shit, when Cuhna's store burnt down you would have thought we were in the middle of the Rapture or something. Ok, the store is awesome and is a local fixture, but for the love of god lighted up people. The place re-opened and people were on their hands and knee's. I could hear the tranced-out-spell-bounded down on hands and knees..."Cuhna's, Cuhna's, Cuhna's, Cuhna's." Get over yourslefs people.

pimped out

egp

The racist comment brings me back temporarily.

Key-low, I have to ask, when does school start up again? When it does, maybe think about wood-shop and/or home ec. as some electives, they may help you in your future.

Loon, great summary in the golf vs. surfing discussion. My golf game has suffered at the expense of my surfing but the last few weeks have provided a nice opportunity to get back out there. 4 hours in HMB @ The Ritz will do wonders when the surf sucks. It is funny how you find yourself (surfer perspective) standing on the 17th and 18th holes staring out at the breaking waves wondering if it is "surfable" as you are about to treat your little white golf ball like Mike Tyson would treat Key-Low's face had he said something like he previously did to him.

The parallels are striking.

The price of golf, especially in the Bay Area, does tend to only draw the wealthy. But, play smart, go at 5:00 when the winds are on it at OB and play 1/5 the green fees.

Also, I have to throw out that last Sunday there were 4 dudes chillin in the club house when I checked in fully sporting O'Neill gear. There are more surfers that golf then you know. Oh, and aren't all us surfers supposed to be Spicolli's?
----------------------------------------------------------
Today's surf: Small but looking doable in some parts of the coast.

Longboard/funboard type waves out there if you were properly equiped.

If anyone knows anyone at Hobie, please email me as they've had my board order hostage for 4 months!

Ok, back to retirement like my boy Ricky Williams, "Anyone have some "potion", I got a drug test coming up...."

luke...great to hear that there's another "speed-golf" fan out there! in college, i used to engage in a similar version at a (very cheap and beaten up) 3-par course. 'cept instead of using carts (motorize carts at this course? you kiddin' me?!) we would all (typically a half dozen of us or more) (1) tee off at once, (2) race to be the first to get the ball in the hole, and (3) ensure that the competition was full tackle! nothin' quite like getting tackled from the edge of the green into the bunker just before your victory shot! ; )

"Also, I have to throw out that last Sunday there were 4 dudes chillin in the club house when I checked in fully sporting O'Neill gear."

Real surfers don't wear surf brands, kids from Atherton do.

"Key-low, I have to ask, when does school start up again? When it does, maybe think about wood-shop and/or home ec. as some electives, they may help you in your future."

Sorry I'm not a Bay Area PhD transplant and have trouble making rent around here. I must be a total eyesore to you in my shit car and apt. It wasn't that long ago that clearing dishes at the Ritz would be a step up for me. I'm actually Happa like Tiger, so my comment was more of a joke about the Country Club community being white bread, and how much of a kook I think Tiger is.

I'm just saying that they took a huge part of 'everyone's' coast and gentrified it. Beyond that, I think the natural seascape is much nicer than manicured grass and billion dollar hotels.

Have fun being rich, next life you may be on the streets.

All Y'all get off the golf tip.. Ya don't know sheeiit.

tee hee, racism is funny. so is genocide, har har. tee hee, giggle.

anonymity rules.

Hey, man with the master plan, how do you explain the "eye-sore" of the mobile home park that clutters the same stretch of coast and has been in its place for years?

Also, what about the same type of "eye-sore" that is created down at Martin's Beach? Damn, that one is even worse since you and I have to pay $5 to look at it.

I am all for nice, democratic banter about certain subjects.

I only ask one thing, EDUCATE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU SPEAK!

As a general rule of thumb, if I am feeling negative, I go find a place of solace. Try going for a surf even if it sucks. You might be amazed at how much fun you can have.

kaiser - surfing is NOT, i repeat NOT to be done for fun. surfing is to be used for, and ONLY for, the act of proving superiority over another.

i rest my case, and yes i was expecting to catch sturgeon on nightcrawlers.

key-low: i still don't really get your point--if you don't like golf, don't play, but enough with the gross generalizations about elitism and racism. i play golf once in a while (1x per month), usually because some of my buddies or my dad want to play...i prefer surfing, but (luckily for everyone here) most of them don't surf. it's a fun and exceedingly challenging sport and a good way to spend time with friends.

as for the racism and elitism, you watch too much tv. i play public courses (no interest in or $$ for clubs) and run into a wide range of people from different races and economic situations. you don't have to be all that rich to pay $16 to play Lincoln Park (dawn patrol). There are a couple courses in Oakland that I play where the racial diversity in the club house is wider than any room in the bay area. I encourage you to find a "billionaire" at Sharp Park. Golfers are often times up for helping a good cause, also--I recently participated in a fundraising tournament that raised $10K+ for a local non-profit that runs programs for under-privileged kids.

lastly, if you don't like "white-bread" elitism, stop surfing--I don't know if you've checked out the lineup at Steamers lately, but it's pretty pale and not very inviting to outsiders.

all that said, i still prefer surfing. just trying to set some of the facts straight here and keep some perspective alive. sorry for the long, boring post. i'm off to wax my feet and find some slop.

If gentrification means better schools, a clean neighborhood, less crime and the razing of dilapidated homes...then gentrify baby.

Now that is educated!

See, its real easy. You make a statement, you provide examples to support such statement.

Rack him! And J, can we please see some Gumby today?

John Ashcroft 2 putts as George Shultz looks on at the Ritz HMB.

key-lime, whatchu got against atherton?

sorry, no access to gumby today.

instead, i present you with this:

"anybody need a 3rd to hold the flag?"

i wonder if she asks 'do these pants make my butt look big?'

she waxed her butt to keep her from falling off

jhmb: thanks for drawing some attention from key-low, who at least seems to have some level of awareness despite the lack of sophistication in his commentary.

for you, and the many others of your ilk, right on up to our smarmy president, all i have to offer is a short quote from Austrian writer Robert Musil:

"There is no truth which stupidity can't make use of."

negativity is fun, especially if the wind is blowing, and you're blowing my horn.

Really, I could care less if you play golf or not, I'm just saying it's kind of a pussy sport compared to running a marathon, cycling 200 miles, swimming from santa cruz to capitola, ironmans, etc.

Shit, at least we're getting out of the "I got a 1 foot linda mar wind chop set today and mickey hooted at me" discussion that usually prevails here.

Calm down bitch.

That was not very niceness. In fact I was just tryin to get a few goats.. Sorry if I raised a few blood pressures. No insults intended to the bloggers. The ultimate is am sesh @ ob, clean offshores till your arms give out, lunch and 18 holes, pm sesh back at the beach. The ultimate day when you throw in some late night lovin'

respects

golf rules for about 2 holes. then i start to suck at it (not that i am really good at it at all) and then i start to think, geez, the green fees that my uncle paid for me to play, could have gone to klooless k. for a traction pad. and done something really positive in this little world of ours....

instead, 18 holes later, totally frustrated due to my bad skill and uber competitive nature, i just think.. gosh. if i was surfing.

try surfing.

even in crap! i tried it yesterday at LindaMAR and you know what, i had a blast despite my jaded outlook upon exiting the car to see the walls of insanity.

get happy.

rolling in my grave ...
you surfer types get your hair all meessed up and don't wear proper trousers nor shoes..you are typically undeducated drug addicts from poor stock the likes of which is unfit to wipe the grime off our bizzillion $$ graphite shafted irons which we caress with loving care as we approach our titleists.

sophisticated gentlemen go to the sea in yachts , skippered by captains

eat corn flakes too.

oh j , you the man ...how you getting along with those reeferettes?

golf spelled backwards is FLOG which is what I do on the course ...hell., if i'm going to flog something it may as well be my self and I don't need to pay $225 to do it with three other guys ..I'll be in the privacy of my own bathroom ...at no cost, thank you.

uhh...there's your problem homey, you golf with three other dudes. those chicks are part of my 'foursome'...

Thanks for the replies about traction & stuff.

My paranoia is acting up---before I wax my feet I'm gonna scan the parking area extra carefully for a camera documenting the success of your little prank.

(Next you'll tell me to wax the TOP of my board too!)

I'd rather read about knitting than golf, what's up with all this? Does anybody know any good surf spots in Big Sur besides the semi-secret spot down a steep trail from Hwy 1 that we're not supposed to name here? I was down there last weekend camping and checked a couple of places out but given the lack of swell i'm not sure I learned anything useful.

i like playing golf when there is beer involved...

golfing is an excuse to get drunk and drunk is an excuse for your golfing

klooless - that's hilarious, re: waxing the top of your board. first time one of my snowboard buddies came out surfing i tossed him a thing of wax and told him to wax his board....few minutes later i came back and looked at his board and the top was still bare.
"you planning on waxing that?"
"what do you mean?"
*turns board over to show wax job*

sure he's not the first, but damn it was funny.

can't surf drunk, homey --- i rest my case

ya know what they say. seek and ye shall find, eric.

or, in the case of that region, seek and seek and seek and seek and seek.

Pimp you are a trany aren't you? If you were a 25+ year local then you would remember the pea fields across the street from your house and you would remember the stoak of being old enough to walk to Cunha's all by yourself to get a pepsi in the bottle and 3 packs of football cards for a buck. You would have gone to school with some Cunah's. HMB was special way before Mav's. I used to walk out of my house and look left and see that big blue paradise and then look to my right at some awesome mountain biking... I want my kids to experience this.... I want them to drive that 2 lane road comming into town.... Not some 4 lane wide safe BS. If you have lived in the Moon (and when I say Moon I mean the entire coastside from HMB to Montara)for over 25 years then you are entitled.

Modular knitting, mitered squares, patchwork, domino knitting—whatever you choose to call it, this technique opens up endless possibilities for knitters. And once you’ve mastered the basics, you’ll find it highly addictive — especially when you’re working with hand-dyed yarns. The way the colors and stitches interact will mesmerize you, making it practically impossible to stop.

Despite some of the obvious differences, I try to focus on the similarities between knitting and surfing. 1) You spend much of the session sitting on your butt, yet focused on the task at hand. 2) Cross-stitching is an advanced move that is best done with specialized equipment--similarly cross-stepping is a skill that takes time to acquire and is best attempted on a long-board....

Anyway, Eric...I was down in Big Sur a few weeks ago and had some fun waves at a small cove at the far south of the Big Sur area. I surfed it completely alone for about an hour one morning before 2 other guys came out--3-5 feet, kinda mushy, reminded me of Linda Mar on a good day (ie not mind-blowing, but fun), except no crowds and spectacularly beautiful!! There's a campsite directly across the street.

it's getting so you can't even make a dumb joke around here!

can't go left, I checked that spot out, last saturday afternoon it was glassy with soft waist to chest high waves and not crowded. It was more fun than I was expecting after looking at flatness all the way down, but your Linda Mar comparison seems pretty accurate. Do you know what its like there in the winter?

sorry for the knitting cut and paste...slow day at the office, didn't surf in the morning, didn't run at lunch, so I've got too much bottled energy with no outlet. probably time for a self-imposed exile from this site for the day.

eric--haven't been in the winter, i've pretty much given all i know about that stretch of coast. planning to go this fall once or twice to lurk around a little. glad you had some fun while down there--the whole region around there is absolutely inspiring.

OMG - thought I 'd stay off this blog and read the sometimes witty and intelligent banter rather than participate in the writing frenzy of half wits and self proclaimed surf and literary agents.

You people ar LOSING IT!!
What is golf? And furthermore, WHO THE
**&* CARES!!!!!
HMB - is there a THERE there. Nice architecture, love the Safeway mall at Pacifilus and the Taco Hell area. What do we call it?
' Early immigrant Western WhiteTrash in Retrograde'? Very odd place this part of the coast. "Progress" has obvilously forgotten her- very strange indeed, but to locals it's probably how they like it. At least they fit into it.
Another world compared to the city I live in and no I am not being a snob. Whenever I surf there I always feel like I've been instantly transported to Pismo or
Morro Bay - eeeeeeeeeyuk.
The closest I've come to this thing called 'golf' is running away from the speeding for my head little white ball and Korean men in careening carts while checking Morey's Point.

Sandollar Beach ($5 topark - $20 to camp) is at times frequented by scores of dolphin, NOT SHARKS! Great bowl on the south end - the outside is too outside, more fun to surf the inside reforms. On the ones that close out let the current take you south and paddle or run again from there - if you try to paddle straight back out it's like trying to fight your way out of a wet golf bag. Hike to the point on the south end. There are caves, dramatic views and jade if you know where to look. In high school we would smoke and drink with our teachers out there at the caves... those were the days...

ME? I'm busy with my new remote controlled crowd control project, due out Sept 15.
Can't wait to meet all of you face to face this season; maybe at E's shindig. You all mostly know my ugly face but how ugly is yours?

P.S. This would be more fun if we had ladies on the forum but I realize that would be a breach of this here " manhood."
Lates.

Vibrator

jimi

vibrator, c'mon vague is vogue. stay focussed.

vibrator - great post, good stuff.

e - jimi...i went to the EMP up in seattle, $ to get in, but they have some cool shit. interesting to see jimi's old sketch book where he wrote lyrics, etc.

anyways, i feel like it's time we all get off our knuckles and walk upright again, this board has gotten ridiculstupid lately.

Danelectro RULES!

i wish i was smoking a joint with jimi right now..

don't worry vibrator, soon the coast will be one huge stretch of starbucks, barnes & nobles, and those wonderful pink "spanish style" 4-bedrooms sprouting up like poppies all over the shell beach hillside. "progress" is catching up quickly, maybe in 5 or 10 years Pismo, Morro Bay, and HMB will be sufficiently cultured for you to visit without having to say "eeeeeeeeeyuk" everytime you cast your eyes upon a trailer park, mexican farm worker, or greasy diner.

you guys think bob marley smoked weed?

Golf is boring b/c ALL of the players are the most lame, most boring, most cleancut people in sports. There needs to be more John "drink booze until 3am, sleep in the car in the parking lot and tee off at 6am" Daly's in the game of golf.

NO surf down here again but like someone said on this board today, coming in from going out this morning made me feel happy and you wouldn't have known it by my face that it was heel high.

And shout out to Howlin' Wolf for postin' yesterday!

bbr: Picture me hugging myself. Can we make it Pete's instead of Starbucks?! Blue tile roofs, maticulously manicured lawns, (cared for by same said newly arrived Mexican National peasants) smoother, wider roads, Victorian facades, more cops... great.
Sorry - AGAIN. I was wrong to 'dis the San Mateo - Silicon coast.
It has its beauty and maybe one day after we are all dead and gone it will be that as described by bbr; that area like the Sunset District defy logic when it comes to viable expanison of commerce. Must be the weather.
6-8sets of 16: Focused on WHAT?
Vogue is vague ?- ok - whatever.
YOU HAVE CONFUSED ME.
Thanks.

Surfed up at 'The Hole' last night - going again now- off N to K for now; regurgitated red tide hight tide shore dump - took a big swallow and almost barfed - hella fun on the old longboard.
Gotta go even in these heinous conditions.

BEVBE

odd. i just fell asleep at my desk with one hand on the keyboard and the other on the mouse, twitched in my sleep and somehow managed to close the spreadsheet (unfortunately i apparently clicked 'no' to saving). good times. drool on the right side of my shirt, too. yeeha.

queer.... u guys, my daughter tells me it means "people daaaaaad", surf NSC/SM/SF County at will, get soooo uptight (i'm old) about key-low's completely accurate sarcastic observation, albeit very edgie, lament the changes over the last few years in the local surf world, but call yourselves niceness..... part of being "nice" is being able to overlook some shit. like "peeps" at spots you once could not surf alone, knowing full well the slot at the lane was/is/and will always be "localized" by thugs who got lucky... relax, you have hooked into something so special, so very early in its history, you will get to do it with your kids, or someone's kids, for as long as you like. peace

cram it, losers!!!

Jeff Clark is wearing and Olympic Golf Club hat in the stacy peralta movie "Riding Giants".Jeff plays a lot and i know that Laird Hamilton plays as well. There are just as many idiots in golf as there are in surfing(santa cruz is a perfect example) I work at the oly and we do a friggin ton of fundraising and volounteer work for san franciscos kids whos oportunities in life are limited to say the least. So have an opinion but at least be educated about it.

So who pimped my Hummer?

youve been pimped NC

Did that car-becue take place in Big Sur?

Hey i heard volkswagen is gonna start making the Microbus again?anyone heard the same news?

confused. me too. posting details of spots seems quite contradictory to your previously stated positions. not trying to start a flame but i just miss the WAY it was when you earned surfing knowledge through real surfing expereince.

Kobe Bryant is overrated

...is that black and white picture of Jimmi in Frisco?

Key-low will be chasing hot Amish chicks on Thursday, hence no electricity and no 'puters. Volunteers needed to be snide dicks to trannies on this board for the day?
