E's Surf Report

damn that is a cool picture.

I was just gonna say the same thing.

Great pic!

Thanks for posting that, Matt. That pic looks like Sunday at OB, with the lion's-mane spray. How was the beach this morning? I could only surf at high tide and suspected fickle mushiness, and anyway I'd surfed OB and only OB for a couple of months now, so I drove to a reviled cove and had a blast. Probably 50 surfers at the beach, but everyone besides me and two others were hanging either at the longboard end or in the middle where there were mainly close-outs as far as I could see. But at the other end there were plenty of clean, fun, steep, 4-5 foot, reasonably long lefts and rights sprinkled among the closeouts. Perfect work-on-stuff waves for me, with a livelier sense of improvement than I find on biggish OB days: finally getting a bit more of a feel for "pumping", at least front-side, and botching fewer late/deep takeoffs.

watchout klooless frontside pumping can lead to more little k's.

on the other hand too many backside floaters and you'll never get laid.

Heh! Gotta hold in those backside airs if you want to get tubed . . .

Ahem. Back to work.

is the water dirty still at that great beginners spot south - raw sewage... hmmm

Suppa nasty
floating turds

Seemed pretty clean and prettily green. It's been a while since rain, right?

yeh - but it was posted last week - I went in anyway and then got sick two days later - the water feels clean

It's dirty
The problem is in what you can't see

Hmmm, well, that was last week, when it had rained. I'm confident that I won't get sick, because it's a long weekend coming up and I want to surf a lot.

my bad..here we go..

Fun Lunch out Front with the Doof. Highlight was the mother and child that cruised the line-up mid session (dolphins).

Eventhough there were just a few out, I was being the Brother-Dad.

Twice I managed to drop on Doof collapsing the section. I pulled out of both, but he got stuck behind the set and I just made it over.

"Son of a Mutha Fucka..."

Great pix, Seth!

Had a bad dream on Saturday a.m. and when I awoke, I headed straight to the beach to get it off my mind. And glad I did...OB offered up my first barrel this weekend. Had a barrel AND a witness. Had to question it myself, but other surfer indeed said it was legit. Very exciting moment. Now I know why men chase barrels. It was actually brown from all the silt and sand. A brown tube of sorts...a brief visit to the brown room.

congrats amigo!

E's gone but the site lives on. Shots from Uncle Dick's contest somewhere south of San Francisco at a spot no one could ever find.

sick shot Bruce!

hey klooless- the water isnt dirty because of rain, but because 700 gallons of raw sewage were spilled into it.

Thanks. I've just signed up for email alerts for Lindy and other spots at http://www.earth911.org/WaterQuality/default.asp?beach_id=1073&cluster=6081. The surf and currents since the beach was posted last week give me some confidence that 700 gallons of anything would be amply washed away, but we shall see.

Your faithful petrie dish,

Klooless

Raw sewage... I LOVE IT!

Where did 700 gallons of raw sewage come from? Not that I need any...

Sewage cove was living up to general reputation this morning, alternating between mushy / sectiony and closey-outty. Enough size remaining out there to provide minor fear in my beginner friends that were out with me. Highlight was the mist-shrouded sunrise, with incredible light coming thru the valley.

I'm off to Tahoe soon, hope any of you that are still around get some decent waves to go with your turkey & various starchy side dishes.

anything worthwhile for this afternoon?

yo peeps and heads,
have a great hollow day. think about the natives that got screwed and killed so you can surf freely. Make something in the kitchen to share at your celebration:

Cranberry Chutney
Makes 1 cup; Prep time: 10 minutes; Total time: 20 minutes
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups cranberries
10 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Coarse salt and ground pepper

1. In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over low heat. Cook 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves until softened, about 3 minutes.

2. Add 2 cups cranberries, 10 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 cup orange juice, and 1 tablespoon cider vinegar. Cook over medium heat until most of the berries have burst and mixture has thickened, about 8 minutes. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Refrigerate, covered, up to 2 weeks.

a recipe of my own. i call this one "Hangover". makes one serving.

Hangover
36 oz. Anchor Steam
4 oz. tequila
1 oz. vodka
48 oz. other assorted beers
3 oz. run
12 oz. coke

Mix all liberally on empty stomach and enjoy!!

most excellent J.

Thanks for the 1st recipe 3to5.
Don't need the 2nd one, have my own...

Lunch surf yesterday with Friend #1 was duplicated today.

Overhead peaks, coming in less often, a bit more close-out, but nicer wind (as in none when I started...it came up a little when I left around 1:30).

I caught a few great rides, lots of take-off into closeouts, and only one fall.

Good fun.

anyone going to monterey tomorrow after a morning surffy?
let me know at elias at themainframe dot net

There has been a change in the status of one or more of the beach
monitoring points in:

Linda Mar State Beach
Station #5 (south at yellow house) - Open
Station #6 (north) - Open
San Pedro Creek - Advisory

i always surf lindy in my charmin wetsuit.

Sloppy but fun this morning. Where is a good place to stay in Santa Cruz for surf access and family situation?

Happy Thanksgiving Peeps!

E:
This discussion board is wacked.
Wow. Unreal.
Too much.

I have not been on a computer in quite some time. I was in Hawaii on Oahu and then the last half of this month I've been working like a slave wondering all the while if the money and wheel spinning is worth it. Answer to myself: No.
I have missed a lot of great days - I've had killer days in the middle - challenging paddles, currents and random bombs. Nabbed some beauties. Nice to get some hollow rights for a change. I don't really see all the crowds where I surf in the middle. Cars and people changing into their wetsuits but what??? Where do they dissappear to? Whatever.
All the rabble using my B.V.B. signature is a bit of a disappointment.
I don't know what to make of it.
Apologies to the slimed. Wasn't me.
I'm nicerness.

Happy thanksgiving, thanks to everyone who visited their relatives and left open waves!

E, you should add registration so people have to add an email address to post. It would cut down on the lameness.

Hey could someone post where Secreto's is? I just bought an Esplenade (aww yea) and me and a few buddies are going on a surfari up north. It has a GPS in it so I'll be able to post GPS coordinates of all the spots we hit.

Also, we're starting a blog, hopefully you'll be able to follow our adventures online from your cubicles.

Yeah it's the first break past Crystal Cylinders. Thanks for the GPS spots. I bet your new rig is kick ass!!!! What's your blog address?

Lots of great waves from 11AM to 2PM in the middle of the beach.

Some fellow was shooting from the water. I was close to him a few times, same with Friend #1, so I know he got some pictures/video of us, as well as his friends.

My ego wonders if film captures how marvelous I felt my surfing was...on second thought, maybe I don't need to know.

The truth can be an ugly thing.

Anyway, lots of fun was had.

Chas- Please tell me you're kidding.
If you start posting GPS coordinates- I'm going to start hunting you guys like they do in Wisconsin.

Go find it yourself...remember those days? Actually, most of you probably don't...

Still some good stuff 2:30-4:30, though pretty frumpy. I lucked into a couple of really fun, speedy walls.

Hey Mr. Kidding, have a frosty beverage product and relax.

Mr Doof, I am sure there is no way pictures or video could capture the grace and intensity of your surfing...its an awe inspiring sight.

Some rockin sets comin through by 5 PM. Several of them I got to see closeup in front of me as I paddled out.

GPS?...Escalade?......posting cordinates?

and your going up North?

Having spent my youth surfing the entire north coast i can easily say you guys better be careful

The locals are a bit paranoid as it is having done nothing but grow and smoke cronic ganja daily.

You might consider Baja instead. Much safer place

some shots from a cove last weekend

nice shots g..got some great waves this week but got super snaked on one yesterday it was sad the guy didnt see me, every one make sure too look behind you..its been so fun though fuuck

I hope it wasn't a big guy with a shaved head and hair on his chin... I dropped in on some one didn't look, felt like an ass...

(not my shots, a non-surfing friend happened to show up at the beach that day with camera. he asked me later 'why were those guys trying to jump off the top of the wave?')

Ah ha so that's what I'm doing wrong.
Note to self: no jumping.
