E's Surf Report

"one man's trash is another man's treasure"

Ante meridian and post meridian. I agree it was a beautiful morning with some pretty fun waves at the beach.

AM - ante meridiem

PM - post meridiem

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURF!

One of the best days, if not the best, in the South Bay all summer. Offshore, shoulder-head high, A-Frames, some mushy, some hollow. So many people out but even more waves. Everyone hootin' and smilin'

That's what surfin' is all about.

Can't wait until the work whistle blows this afternoon.

Drip...drip....

ragnar was killing it today. one long pigdog barrel i saw from the lot was particularly sick. i got some fun ones but needed wax badly.

beautiful at the beach today!! got to love September.

e, I hear you on the different perspective. I always wonder what people's expectations were when they tell me how crappy a day was that I had thoroughly enjoyed.

also--B Clinton in the hospital for bypass surgery today. Wish him luck and recovery. I never liked the guy, but I think he has valuable perspective/experience and lots of good to offer the country for years to come.

Hit out front with the Doof, and some anonymous female. It was basically crap, but still fun. My last ride was the wave of the session as I got a long right where for the whole ride I was thinking, 'uh-oh, I'm too far back, but no, it's still going, cool!"

As I got out a guy asked how it was, and I said with a smile that it was crap.

Doof drove by the North End on the way to work, and said it was half the size and twice as clean, so we both figured the posts would be raving.

Thanks for living up to my expections.

I didn't even check out OB after seeing big double-digit swell on the buoys. I really don't know how to translate that to surf conditions, but I look at the ceiling, add a couple of feet, and get nervous. I also thought it'd be junky.

I drove a little to where I thought it'd be cleaner and a channel might come in handy. It wasn't at all clean---very garbly, and sometimes hard to tell the waves from the chop. Also, not at all big; shoulder-to-head maybe, with lots of lulls, and not a huge amount of push even for that size, if that makes sense. Still, I had a couple of fun rides, trying to figure out what shenanigans the wave was going to pull next---will it deep-out on me, will the bottom fall out, will a section close out, etc. Entertaining, anyway, and a smallish good-vibed crew.

The water is YUCKY.

Anyone else think it sorta sucks that the Japanese have been waiting for good waves and a typhoon happens to give them some niceness and the fvckin' Pro zoo is in town. Just a thought.

Fun waves, but nothing special is my call. Glad I went out. Am using these waves to help get in shape for what is to come.

As for the whole AM PM thing, well, a line of longitude is also called a meridian, if I remember right, and are derived from the Latin, from meri, a variation of "medius" which denotes "middle", and diem, meaning "day." The word once meant "noon", and times of the day before noon were known as "ante meridian", while times after it were "post meridian." Today's abbreviations a.m. and p.m. come from these terms, and the Sun at noon was said to be "passing meridian". All points on the same line of longitude experienced noon (and any other hour) at the same time and were therefore said to be on the same "meridian line", which became "meridian" for short.

In essence, the AM/PM thing is a leftover from a time when people cared a whole lot more about the sun and its position in the sky.

remember when am/pm had two burgers for a buck? man, those were shit.

Wow, good fun this a.m. for sure. Not your prototypical "epic" beach day but not a bad warm up for what might be around the corner.

As Mr. Doof suggests, these days are great to get back in shape for the fall/winter season. It is sorta funny how I thought I was in pretty good shape from surfing thru the summer. But, give it one paddle-out at OB and I wised up a bit.

Good fun surfing w/ E, Lerm, 'Bait this morning. Got a few good ones that will tide me over until Fred Flintstone hears the horn and I am outta here.

On the water temp tip, anyone go boardshorts yet? I was considering getting a jacket and going boardshorts for no other reason then to at least get a few days in where it was possible at the beach. Basically, someone talk me out of it.......

There was a guy trunking up at Fulton this morning. I was a little warm with the boots on.

I'm pulling a cubicle-rat after work session this evening. Anyone else wanna try doing it retro style: longboard, no leash, wool sweater? I think the wool sweater will be left on the beach (someone ask Fred Van Dyke how the hell they swam in those things). The wise man would do this near VFWs to have access to campfire afterwards, but the lazy man would do this at the end of Noriega to have a shorter walk. I gained about 6 lbs of blubbery insulation lately, so I think I can do it. Any other takers?

trunking sounds like a gay thing......

kaiser, no matter how warm the water feels in your wettie. It's not gonna be THAT warm trunk'n it, at least at OB. Those jackets suck btw, better off in a spring suit, keeping the fellas kinda warm. Or go old old old skool like my grandpappy and wear a flannel shirt.

Whose got the beaver-tails?!

Vouching for e's wave of the day, I had a perfect view staring straight right down into that barrelling left. The wave threw out a lip about head high, e was juuuust in front of it - if he'd crouched down and stalled it could have been a squished up barrel, but most likely looked like it could have walloped him in the ear! Instead e was barely outracing the lip for what seemed an eternity, a really long wave for OB. Bravo e !

TOTAL blast this morning despite lack of real rides. Trying to figure most things myself but have decided if conditions warrant it, to sometimes leech off better [ and friendly ] surfers to see where they sit and takeoff - darn fickle beach break. Niceness crew was kind enough to let me parasite this a.m. I reciprocated by showing everyone where the channel was. ;) Conditions a little largish for me but totally manageable - perfect stretch of the comfort zone. I've cut sessions short before, no problem, if it feels like it's crossing that line...trusting that *I* know when to go in or even not go out makes all the difference for me. Maybe my surf tech isn't speeding up but I like learning to be comfortable in the ocean...I figure the finesse will come later. Errr I totally digress but anyhoo this morning was fun, I'm really stoked that these conditions felt fine for me. Horaaaay...

beavertails?

beaver-tails sounds like a lesbian thing....

ian, i think you crossed the demographic lines with the beavertail ref.....

ob.am.yeah.oh.yeah

beautiful morning, some chunky windswell in the water, and niceness peeps bobbin' about! just what the doc ordered! unfortunately, i was stickin' close to my beloved bano due to the "issues" that seem to arise when one drinks a bunch of beer and eats a bunch o' junk (tasty junk, but junk fo'shur!) at the ballpark. chalk up one sesh sacrificed in the name of hygene. hmmm...sorry for the tales from the dingleberries crypt, but remember sharing is caring.

e, Kaiser, Lerm, and 'bait....nice work gettin' out there so that i can enjoy vicariously.

re the a.m./p.m. thing...so, i'm confused, is it meridian or meridiem o' Latin gurus?

ck, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows as I was eating tamales while reading your post. I'm not that hungry anymore really.

sorry, Ian....though...considering you were chowing down on tamales i may have done ya a favor. ; )

3to5, that is what I needed, now I can stop thinking it is a "good idea" and get a real lunch instead of driving to the surf shop! Nice work!!!!!

Sharkbait, clearly you showed more dedication then most today. Shit, anyone that has duct tape anywhere on their wettie, board, etc. and paddles out to "stretch their limits" can sit next to me any day. Besides, you are surfing with split as well. I would say you made up for your so-called lack of waves by increasing your "sack-factor" 10-fold. Yeah, that is a dude reference but I am dude and that is me being a dude. Keep paddling out there, you will get yours!

Hey Sets of 7...you gonna let these guys continue to call you 3 to 5?

Tom, nice one!

I know this might stir some pissy comments but why doesn't think appeal to me? Wouldn't it be a whole lot better to stand up? I see some guys going balls out at OB on kneeboards. I am totally respectful but explain the thinking process there? Are they ex-standuppers? Do they not like standing up? Bum knees? What gives?

BTW, that wave is SWEET!

If I had duct tape on my kneeboard and flippers could I sit next to you?

Only if you sat on your figure too!

sitting on a finger sounds like a gay thing.....

If you don't stand-up, you have way more overhead days per season.

What I don't get is the dudes on the body boards. Ok, it might be fun, but isn't that canceled out by the shame of walking backwards into the surf?

SURFING IS FUN.
last eve, i donned the old wettie that i cut the arms off of. so worth it. trunks if you are crazy and there is a raging fire waiting. spring suit would be good in the afternoon if the winds are not howling. this morning waves were fun if you were in the right spot. korewin and i had it to ourselves for a long long time.
wickedawesomefunshit man.

So sitting on my figure is stretching my limits?

stump: it is if I'm sitting on mine! bwah ha...
Kaiser means "splinting the finger," er then again maybe not....anyhoo thanks Kaiser, 'twas quite fun in the agua..

anyone who surfs, swims, boogies, kneeboards, etc...still has to paddle out and enjoy the same wipeouts. Boards just make for better self-abusing battering rams.

I was out last week during the mid afternoon in a short springsuit and felt too warm. I was out during the early evening Wed. in my usual full 4.3 and felt just right, so who knows? If I was gonna go out right now (12noon), I�d springsuit or trunk it.
I pulled a classic kook move the other day. I had been out in small, sloppy, choppy junk for a couple of hours at a spot south of SF. Nonetheless, I got a few decent rides � better than I could�ve hoped for. The last surfer in my vicinity had just bailed due to the crappy conditions. I was all alone when a NICE peak popped up out of nowhere. I spun around and two-stroked into this almost headhigh miracle. I dropped in, made my turn and set my rail. Just as I began to feel the wave start to pitch and throw behind me, I lost my balance and fell ass-first off the tail-end of my board! I don�t know if the wave jacked from the backwash, I hit a piece of chop, or what; all I know is that I had just blown the best wave I had been in for weeks. Laughing bitterly and cursing a little bit, I looked toward the shore to see if any one had witnessed my shame. The surfer who had just gone in was walking towards the cliff. I�m not really sure, but I think he was shaking his head in disgust. Oh well.

not to claim.. but.. this is *sort-of* what that one wave i caught this morning felt like.. though of course much smaller and whimpier

Hey any ocean dwellers want to live in soma for a month or two? I want to live out by the ocean for a month, maybe longer, maybe swap places for a little bit? I live in a slammin old style loft, huge, ping pong and gardens on the roof, very anything-goes gorgeous space. Pretty quiet too, except for the crackheads yelling on the street. 4 roomates, but plenty of space, and great energy.

Maybe you know someone who might be interested?

The swapped place must be within very easy walking distance of the beach.

Email to discuss.

tomstah, your right. it sounds a bit diminutive, which i'm not. hmmmm. ok how about 3to5stah?

at my hi skool we had more kneelo's at one point then stand-ups. they where all barrell hounds and felt that they could get more barrells on da knees. in the 70's a certain break south of here had a pecking order ruled by the knee riders. it's a fun diversion on the right day. but it's actually pretty rough on the knees as your wieghting them like your foot, ouch. i still have one bro that carries the torch, but even he longboards now.

kneeboarding sounds like a gay thing......

ANON POSTS ARE A GAY THING!

i mooched off a couple of guys take-off zone as well this morning. i know it's verboten, but i haven't yet figured out the outside bar. was that doof and #1? outside mid-beachish? can't have possibly been more than two girls out at ob at once. it was fun but shifty and a little frustrating.

e- I think that's my "nephew," Jairus in that last pic. NICE!

btw ck, You know nothing about �issues� until you�ve quaffed the beverage prescribed in preparation for a colonoscopy. Believe me, it is truly a remarkable experience in inner hygiene - the liquid equivalent of sucking a handkerchief up one nostril and passing it out the other. ;)

another enjoyable morning. glad to see sharkbait charging it. The wave wuz sick e! and Kaiser, that guy is fearless.

what's going on at the beach now?

what's the deal with the surfpulse cam? It used to look perfectly clear, but as of last week it's a blotchy mess. I can barely make out the waves at all. Is it just my machine, or does it look that terrible to everyone else too?

Check it here

Just returned from a session in front of VFW where some jerk paddled right into me as I was taking off. I had no choice but to run him over. I don't know what happened to him, but my board now has a nice long pressure ding and a broken fin box. Thanks a lot guy!

Here the RULE for all beginners and kooks who don't know:

Your responsibility is to paddle out of the way of another surfer already on a wave, even if that means padlding into the breaking part of the wave.

Argh!

nice work on the am sessions folks. i am dying to make a break from my cage here in the east bay.

too bad my new RFS won't be ready in time to test it on this windswell - it's supposedly almost done though. for any prospective rfs purchasers, blakestah has been great about keeping me up-to-date on progress.

i leave for my europe trip soon, just wanted to repost a question about surfing in northwest spain ... anyone have experience with the surf shops around there? especially shops closer to bilbao? i plan to rent a board and i'm hoping that i don't have to go all the way to san sebastian to do so cuz it will be out of the way to return it. if the swell is on for a stretch it may be cheaper to just buy a board, but i don't want to count on that. please let me know! pnmcs at comcast dot net if you prefer to reply privately...

loon...have a killer time in Spain! hope you find swell.

Jimmie...i think you have me there by a good margin...and i hope to never find out by how much!

hmmm...where is that quittin'-time whistle?...

good luck on the beach trade/soma loft thing now that it's september....i bet in june you would have had a few takers!

Steamwand, if you were wearing a hood that you then pulled off, you were surfing in Friend #1 territory. Not that I hold a perimeter or anything.

Thanks for not raving or street naming. I think you caught as many as us, and I never felt like you were infringing in any way.

My co-worker Jenny loves Teahupoo
crazy!

anybody up for a bonfire and some acorns tonight?

Kaiser Sosa,
- Usual Suspects, a favorite movie...:-)

Kneelos generally enjoy the lower center of gravity and perception of speed being closer to the wave face. We like getting barreled.

I don't know too many late-stage converts. There are some from standing up, some from bodyboarding. Most have always done it, but try/tried other forms. I did some stand-up and bodyboarding, but committed to kneeriding once I tried it. That was 1975.

I'll still longboard or bodywhomp or whatever... but that's after I've ruled out kneeriding. It's just a personal choice... nothing wrong with other forms of surfing.

You can do some research into our warped little world at www.ksusa.org. There's a link from Blakestah's site, under photos.

Three of us were out this AM at VFWs. Pretty fun!

Kneelo, nice recap!

I have seen a few of you guys out in HUGE days at the south end of the beach. On days like those, I can't imagine throwing myself over the edge with my knees on a board! Laying down on a bogey, sure, kneeboarding, not a chance.

Another question: what is the typical size of a normal kneeboard? Thickness, etc.

Ok, I think I have some pics to post now, let me find my files........

More shark sightings. but i'm not gonna name names.
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2004/09/03/stinson03.DTL

It's all about the Tube!

One of the 3 of us out this AM, Jeff, charges some beasts. He's up in Pt. Arena now, and only comes down occasionally. I like some size, and live by the credo that if I can't paddle out, I shouldn't be out.

Like stand-up boards, there's a variety...but less of a range. There's 1,2,3 and 4-fin fans. There's US-style and Aussie-style boards. I ride an Aussie-style 4-fin fish. Generally 5'10" x 23.5". Also have 5'7 fish and a 6'0" pintail. I'd like to get a 6'3".

Some will ride very large, hollow waves on boards up to 5'6"... taking off very late. Some will go as much as 7'2".

Again, check out the website for more. If nothing else, you'll find some ideas for stand-up fish.

cube closing in....must break...free...slurf coming...so hot....get in water...ahhhhhhhhhhhh

There's a more kneelos in Austrailia than here. I met a group of 'em on my trip to the South Pacific and New Zealand a couple years ago. They were a fun group and definitely charged it. Here's some pics of them at a break that shall remain anon.

And here's some more empty niiiiiceness...

Okay, back to work. Any comments on the surfpulse cam? Is it just me, or has that cam gone downhill?

loon, who shaped your rfs? i think this morning's session firmed up my decision to get one, but i don't know who to have shape it.

worth walking backwards for.

friend #1: is that a bonzer you were riding? cool board

whaddup niceness crew!

looks like hurricance swell on multiple coasts - how often has that happened?...Frances, Howard, and even Songba are firing! btw, what's the difference between hurricanes and typhoons - direction of the rotation secondary to coriolis effect?

caught some of Frances in Wrightsville Beach, NC yesterday - head high but the NE wind was killing the shape. looks like this AM was the time to catch it...

so, east coast representin'! looking for swell filled weekend in the OBX...

Hurricane Howard wont give NorCal and swell?

Well, just where WILL get swell?

Bodyboarding is great in conditions too big for my surfing ability. Or when OB is in that state where the outer bars rear up, mush, then back off, it's perfect for the inside shore pound. Otherwise I surf.

Long weekend coming up! All the best...

yes

Shaped by Eaton.

Steamwand----->It is an Eaton bonzer.

Rides different than my Campbell Borther's bonzer.

Now, which one of us two is which one of us?

dano - i agree on the surfpulse cam funkiness.
SICK pics homie!! thanks for sharing!

drdy! awesome to see you postin' here. East coasters Hennessey and Kus are driving up to Rhode Island as we speak to try to catch this point break they like.. good waves to ya dr DENI!!!!

805bbr.. that pic is cool. the reef looks daunting and very close.

i meant "davo"

Newport R.I. is already overhead from Frances....Florida is gonna take some whup ass.

Good thing the MTV awards were last Sat....

Davo,
Did some of the guys you met include the Simpson bros: Cheyne and Troy? Those pics look like ones they had...

I can't get the surfpulse cam at work. However, I did like the old cam better.

i knew that friend #1 was the one on the eaton bonzer, cause he was the one that got the sick long right that he was claimin and that you were all jealous of, doof. don't ya know the 11th commandment: "thou shalt not covet thy bruddah's wave?" (God's Hawaiian, so it's cool)

I'd leave work now but I think the waves will be better later. So I'll stay longer.

Somebody post some chicks please......

steamwand: john at sfsurfshop is shaping my rfs. my first order with him - but also only my 2nd custom-shaped, still new territory to me. it's been a pleasure working with him and blakestah, who was very helpful with figuring out dimensions. happy to give you more info, but blakestah is definitely the guru. he's been kinda busy with work this week but send him an email, he's very reliable with responding. i'l' post a report here of any riding i get in on it prior to my europe trip, and you can email me at pnmcs at comcast dot net if you want to have a more direct conversation. good luck!

this one's for the tomstah!

tomstah, i got fresh word on the fertile crescent your descending into this weekend. three2fivesetsof7@yahoo.com

Steamwand, I agree with the John Schultz / sf surf shop rec, he made me a 6'8" swallowtail for me that is really sweet. He's nice guy too. I haven't had a ton of custom boards so I just gave him my basic idea and let him go with it. Really happy with the result.

Hussies please.......

So I've been here since summer of '01. It feels like the water is the warmest it's been in that time. Am I right on that? How often does it get like this and what does it bode for winter weather (Blakestah, any ideas?). Does it indicate a coming El Nino?
This punchy windswell made for a fun session today. All I need to do is reduce the crowd to about 2 and it'll feel just like home. But I'm not complaining, it's really pleasant out there and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.
California rocks.

waiter, can you split this czech?

(dammit to hell, last post was me, i'm not an anonymous bitch)

In reply to the anon post about running somebody over. You're not wrong about that rule - definitely the responsibility of those paddling out to avoid obstructing rides, even if it means paddling into the whitewater. However, it is REALLY REALLY not cool to run someone over. At ocean beach where currents and general beach breakiness conspire to put people in bad places, there will occasionally be people paddling in places that mess up your ride. It sucks, but if you can't straighten out or take a high line or otherwise get around the person you probably would have been better off to just pass on the wave. Picture coming up and finding out your fin or board has badly injured or blinded the person paddling - there's no way a wave is worth that. If you don't think you can miss someone paddling, don't take off. A standing surfer is so much faster and so much more able to maneuver that to run someone over is pretty bad form. I definitely do NOT feel like I am in the right if I come anywhere close to colliding with a paddler while I'm standing.

The ideal outcome is still: paddler goes into the whitewater and surfer gets clean wave. But next alternative should be: surfer straightens ride or doesn't take off, paddler offers apology for being in the wrong place.

day 17 without winds....longing for the hella wicked gnar gnar winds of june....my kite is looking at me longingly, hoping to let it's beautiful streamer unfurl into the air once again....as i look out my dining room window i see *ack* surfers in the water and people on the beach! where were you fairweather friends at in june? july? *sigh* i can't wait til next summer to reclaim MY beach!

NZ--->We have a weak/mild El Nino developing.

But El Nino has much more to do with equatorial waters than our California water.

The heat in the water here is not directly linked to El Nino, more more due to local winds.

Not saying the two are not related, just saying El Nino does not = warm OB waters.

But, in strong El Nino years, I have noticed that the more westerly the storm (Pineapple Express), we have much warmer winter waters.

And remember, everytime there is a low tide, all that lovely hot SF Bay water flushes out and warms up the Beach.

As for how often this sort of warm water happens, well, every year as far as I can tell. It is just that some years, the warm water sticks around longer than in other years.

Steamwand--->I wouldn't say I was jealous. Envious, yes. Jealously seems to say "If I can't have it, no one can", while evvy seems to say, "I want one of those." And covet? Well, that is biblical and bad enough to warrent a commandment. ;)

Actually it was apt payback because when he finally made it out, I teased him about taking so long when I had just cruized out.

Steve -

I don't think the anon poster was happy about running the guy over. And sometimes you have no choice. Earlier this year I cut a foot off a guys board with my fin and I was really trying to go high over him. For some reason he paddled under me and then pulled his nose up as I went by.
I made a point to paddle out to him to let him know I didn't do that on purpose and the thought hadn't even entered his head. He had just fucked up is all.

Check me on this tubular wave. At the end of quicktime video of jalama beach, July 05, calliebowdish.com. Sweet lines on a small day, viva kneeboarding. Gotta persevere through various short and longboard rides first.

Re kneeboarding, we call 'em 'cripples' down under. It's pretty popular in NZ but not nearly as much as in Oz, they're seriously into it. I had a crack at it for a winter, it's good fun but hard to resist the urge to stand. You need a powerful wave to make the best of it too, they don't glide between sections terribly well if you're a beginner. OB would be cripple heaven.

Friend

I'm sure you're right about his intentions and I didn't mean to rant. Just my way of asking everyone to be careful as the surf gets heavier (and before it gets big enough to thin the crowds). I know I'm going to be paddling out a lot and in case I f**k up I'd prefer not to get run over.

Aight, I'm heading out now in boardshorts. Be at the end of Noriega in 5 minutes for the ceremonial shriveling of the nutz.

Hey, I made it over half an hour!

I have a new appreciation of the wetsuit.

If anyone needs me, I'll be in the microwave.

Happy weekend to all and may all ride fine waves

The surfpulse cam has been acting wacky. Won't render to a complete picture. If I am the rider up on a wave, it is MY job to get around those paddeling out. For those paddeling out, it is YOUR job to eat it in the whitewater if necessary or to sit freaking still so I can get around you. I will not run someone over under any circumstances and if I do it was because I made a serious mistake calculating the situation or an error on my end.

SFKneelo,

Yep, it was Cheyne and Troy Simpson and their stand-up surfing friend, John (Pon). Small world!

Surfed from Irving to Sloat today. Waves were really smooth but the period was too short. There were a lot of inside closeouts. Warm weather, was a lot of fun!

I agree with X. I have no problem taking the whitewater but if I just rode a short wave and am turning around to start the paddle and someone is just taking off on a long wave, I sit still and wave them on. Once I see their direction, I'll paddle inside of them. Still sometimes it just doesn't work right. Like today when I was paddling from the inside and a guy dropped in straight instead of angling like it looked like he was going to. I still made it around him but it was closer than I would have liked. That's surfing -- do your best, take it easy.

Amusing guy of the day -- aqua-blue longboard. When paddling, he would kick the opposite foot and look at his hand, back and forth. He kinda looked like a windup toy or something.

Any surf gurus have any tips for removing a base coast of wax? Leaving it in the sun aint cutting it.

Andrew, I scrap well then use WD40 and a rag. Acetone will work. dunno if that is good advice or if it's sort of a strange tactic, but it works--squeaky clean!

oops, 'scrape' well, then use the chemicals

Oh, no! Now Nate's spilled the beans on that Irving-to-Sloat secret spot!

You beat me; I only managed Kirkham (6:30) to Rivera (9:30). It was absolutely HORRIBLE, and I personally saw at least three surfers get eaten by sharks. Seriously (for a sec), it was hugely crowded.

Hey Davo,
Met Cheyne in NZ in 1999 at the World Titles. He beat me repeatedly. Very solid surfers! Very well mannered in and out of the water...
There are some insane photos of the Simpsons at the Drift kneelo site.

Andrew at 44th... hope you're kidding. Surfboards and sun lead to delams...
Anon's got it right. Wax combs have scrapers on one side. If not, when the Mrs. isn't looking... a spatula will do.

A small amount of time in the sun will semi-melt the wax. Not too long, or you will have a mess. Wax comb for the big stuff, and then the Pickle for that nice smooth finish. Get one at your local surf shoppe.

I prefer a short time in the sun followed by scraping most of the wax off, followed by the pickle.

Kneeboarders ride waves in the male-on-male porn star position.

davo - are you the infamous davo from Ocean Beach (ie: the orthopod), or just some other random davo?

do your kids know you're watching male on male porn blakestah?

shame on you!

Surfpulse cam sucks lately, not a quality source of "should I cruise on out?" answers.

Er, that's male-on-female position...

Same ? to Davo... if you are the orthopod, I'm trying to hook up w/your bro-in-law Billy while he's up here. Sounds like allergies to red tide sux. Also, that makes for a very small cyberspace world...

Sorry guys, not the same Davo. I have an all-too-common first name. Maybe I should pick a different moniker...davestah? ;)

I work with Christian (the Brazilian charger) and he turned me on to this site. I've been following the posts for a few weeks now and I posted for the first time on Friday.

I grew up in the Bay Area and learned to surf in SC in high school, but went to college down in SD and ended up staying for 10 years. (Speaking of kneelos, there's a guy who charges Black's on every decent swell and probably gets more tube time than anyone). I finally moved back to the Bay Area last year. I spend most my surf time beween M*** L****** and as far north as SC/SM county line. I usually opt for one of the many lesser crowded spots up north, but I'll occasionally paddle at the Lane or a West Side reef. I really like M*** -- it's sort of a cross between Black's and OB. More wild and random than Blacks, but not nearly as much as OB. And the offshores from the valley... Too bad it's 60 frickin' miles from me instead of the 40 miles to SC or OB. But because my work is located in Sunnyvale and I have two little ones (2.5 years and 2 months), I made the decision that I'd rather commute to the beach 2x a week (usually mid-week DP) than commute to work 5x a week.

I have a lot of respect for those of you who call OB your home break and surf it regularly. I've only surfed it less than a dozen times, and I must say that it's a bitch. I'm an experienced surfer of 15+ years and it's gotta be the most shifty peaked, current laden, wind swept, touchy and tempermental beach break I know of. However, it seems that just when you've thrown in the towel on OB and cursed that stretch of beach vowing never to return, she'll throw you the sickest pit this side of Puerto and keep you coming back for more. Definitely a love/hate relationship, and to be honest I haven't put in the time at OB because of the consistently better wind conditions and occasionally equally rewarding waves to the south that are equidistant from my home. And because of that, I haven't yet scored the epic OB that keeps you all stoked...hopefully this Fall I'll make the right call to experience OB when it's really on. However, my biggest board is a fairly thin 7'3", which won't cut it for really large OB, but I'm hoping it'll do fine for up to 10-12 foot faces (I weigh only 150) which is really the limit of my comfort zone at spots as wild as OB.

Here's the best pic I have of myself in the water. Please excuse my vanity. I call this shot "one second to tubetime", because 1 second later I got a nice little shack...

Like many of you, my other passion is music. I play the skins, but have yet to hook up with musicians since I've moved back to the area, besides the occasional informal jam at the house. Here's my now-defunct band Clyde's Ride. Please check out the songs section for MP3 downloads. We actually came up to play the Elbo Room and Last Day Saloon many-a-time bet 1999-2001. Solid funk, with a bit of jazz and soul thrown in. Let me know if any of you music-lovers want to get together. I've got a set of skins itching to be pounded.

Well, enough about me already.

One last tidbit...my wife is 2 months post-partum. She finally got in the water this weekend for the first time in about a year. She was STOKED and I was stoked for her.

Hey Davo,

My wife just got a job down in Sunnyvale and we need to move someplace down there to be closer to her work. I was thinking Redwood City because it is close to hwy 92, 280,84,tunitas creek rd., etc. so not too far from surf. Are you down in one of those towns between San Jo and Gilroy or something? M*** is an epic wave, I think better than OB. I'd gladly move closer to that place. I need to work out some living situation without getting stuck in the hellhole of silcon valley hopefully.

Don't want to offend anyone with the porn star joke...

my bad.

Actually, I'm in Palo Alto. It's a great town for raising the kids -- plenty of great parks and good public schools, albeit expensive rent. But the main reason I'm here is that my mom is right up the street and she's a great help with the kids. Gives my wife and I a break to chill out together without having to constantly hire babysitters. Probably makes up for the difference in rental costs. Otherwise, we'd probably choose to live closer to the ocean.

Blakestah,

There are the "skins" and then there's the "skin flute"...totally different instruments...although I play both very well.

davo,
stop giving up spot details! way un-cool. the boys at the fire ring have got your number.

Did I say M***? I meant B**n H****w.
