E's Surf Report

Soo glad I didn't pay attention to anon's blakestah bashing post in which he announced that it was going to be a banner day out today or I might have made an unnecessary effort to make it out this AM.

Sounds harsh e. So glad that I had dawnie back to back con calls. work rules. surfing is so last year. i can't wait to get my new skimboard.

Yeah.....me too.

I'm going back to drinking full time and making fun of surfers and their stupid jargon.

Road biking rules!

Go Lance your bank account blow's Kelly's away!

Hey, you forgot the Shark Sighting.

I paddled out in your neck of the woods following the Doof's lead. Paddled by Blakestah and told him it was nice to see another gay male out in the line-up but I don't think he heard or understood me.

Midsession as I was paddling toward an outside peak and at first I thought this guy was trying to vibe me by saying something like "don't even paddle out here." Buuuut, he then said: "I just saw a fin out there, I KID YOU NOT!!!"

I just shrugged and said, "...And?" But by then he was paddling in fast and was gone.

It actually was not very good conditions in my estimation. Hardly a banner day. Just goes to show that even demigods are not right all the time.

yeah, it was nasty out there this morning. this dude dropped in on ME, paddled back out, punched me so hard in the jaw that i blacked out. i got washed in with a set and rolled up on the beach. then some other charging local charger came up, saw the fresh sewage nearby and gave me a fecalface.

fuck OB.

i saw a dolphin..i have a theory that some of the newcomers to our lovely sport have a hard time discerning..is that a word..ya today was horrible, so bad..

All I saw from my window this morning were nice, clean-breaking waves. Offshores. Looked mild and sweet. Saw a dude get tubed. Sun shining. I always put on my scroog face when I'm off to work and the surf looks so inviting. I need to figure out my priorities. P.S.: Was the water warmer than the air this a.m.?

nice bottom turn christian! i could imagine what you did to that foam ball

i was out in the same vicinity as #1 friend & doof & co. i saw what i eventually confirmed was a porpoise, but i too was a bit spooked on the first sighting - largish fin, back not as arched as i'm used to seeing on our mammalian friends. biggun too.

i agree, definitely not banner out there. current stew was a'brewin. lovely morning though. and there's some new energy hitting the ca buoy, so the banners may yet fly ...

db, sorry for never getting around to trading boards. i kept waiting for a "good" one, never quite happened. kooked the bottom turn my only decent left. but hey, maybe we should have an RFS rally sometime?

Enough of this blown, stacked-up close-out crap! 9 - 11 it was impossible to get any good waves at all, let alone a whole bunch of solid overhead ones, especially waves with any push, or any that stayed walled up for you for about a freaking mile or something. At least it was really warm out there.

(I did see a large brown dolphin or porpoise or something.)

yep, water was definitely warmer than the air.

Saw a very big porpoise frolicking off the north end Tues afternoon. It had a very swept back dorsal fin, like a True Ames Norm Flex.

yeah, Christian's bottom turn is sick!! I thought that was Curren for a second. Killer! :-)

surfing rules!

images of the morning wafting through my skull.. so nice.

on the low-key, down-in-the-comments tip i think that Blakestah nailed it for today. Banner, baby!

Brrrr, went out early this morning wearing 2 rashguards. Hey e, remember when you wore 2 wetsuits? That might have been the call today. Happy surfing,

amen! i told lewis i might have got the best tube of my life and realized im a kook..but oh that tube! shit was aaawesome

I closed my eyes on what might have been my first OB barrel this AM. OBsoulutly Kookarific!!

check out this kook....shoulda rode the 10 foot.

good on ya e for paddling out anyway in such shiite conditions. way to find and share the stoke. sounds like it was a rad morning.

nice east coast pics... wish i could say i've gotten any of that in the last week, but i've been having trouble nailing the 6 hour windows between huge onshores that make the swell and then post low going offshore gale-force offshores blowing the atlantic back flat. don't live at the beach now... so it's kinda tough.

but i'm days away from packing up my car and heading for the promised land... look for my lanky ass returning to the waters of the northern pacific by mid-month. stoked! enjoy it, niceness.

stoked for your arrival J.O.C!!

go the lankies!!

here is the dude i mentioned a few weeks ago....at his most normal location, Sloat. next time he sits on the bench there, listen to his stories, he won't mind, matter of fact he won't even know you are there.

captured my mexisurf.

i spoke to that guy on last friday. gave him a banana, apple, and an odwalla bar.

mexisurf-
stoked to see some pics of Baird on your site. i went to high school with him and not only is he super chill, he friggin' rips.

Wow Mexi, that picture is supreme (surfer). There's so much right about it. Lighting, color, motion, depth. That's really something special.

dittoing the mexi compliment, but on the sloat lot photo. nice mexi!

Hmm, perhaps I'm not getting the sarcasm in E's report. It didn't seem THAT bad.

On Sloat locals, how about the guy who does some kind of sword/ninja stuff with a broomstick and bandana?

this is us

ha ha

Shit I hate friggin shark sighting postings. Cant stand that surfline dedicates a whole section to it. What does a shark sighting accomplish? I can see if we were in the water, but printing shark shit is stupid. "I saw a crazy crack head this morning on 16th street!" scotty/hubba and 16th duh! sharks in the ocean duh!

sf fuckin no nuttin at alls...got no vision..thats why you cant understand that a day like yesterday is banner/good...that yesterday there were tubes while today there are walls....heard fools out there while I was there claiming barrels n shit when I saw the whole wave and it wasnt even a narrel....I so over the wannabe, hack fakin surfers here...get some sack...learn to swim...go back to your spin and yoga classes....

Baird does rip. Coast Guard guy. Surfpulse had a picture of him on a yellow board not to long ago. Very smooth surfer.

ya that is a sick one..i like the jake photo also..nice mexi..and the one of the left with those guys talking..

Tom - that guy filling up his water bottles at Sloat about 30mins ago. Seemed happy enough chatting away to himself.

Was ok - but inconsistant...nice easy paddle tho.

Re state of my question from yesterday - heading to baja next week for the first time - will stay in the north. Anyone got any gems on knowledge re spots or good place to stay??

la fonda campground or the hotel right next to it to chill. or somewhere in rosarito if you wanna party.

Feed the sloat dude when ya can. Nice job sets of 7.

Baird. I concur a real good kid and great surfer although you'd never know it, unless you saw him ride. He lived above me for his first year in this cold assed surf rich town...

i just posted a surf gallery here

some of the pics:

bbr's dreamland. macking closeout tubes.

unnamed barreling beachbreak, solo session

ankors - don't camp at san miguel. haven't been in a few years, but it was sketchy then. too many thieves in the vacinity that prey on the surfers. and the locals can be a bit much. if you drive the free road, there are a lot of fun spots past K38.

slaisupuedes on a good swell..i think it needs a big south..

jocular those pics are rad!! thanks.

Here's bagel this morning

Sad to hear about San Miguel. My wife and I had a blast around there on our honeymoon some 15 years ago.

So Loon, are you the blond viking guy, or no booties man?

Guy offered me a roll of charmin this morning as I was getting dressed. He said the waves were gnarly! I said they were just OK, and he said, "Nobody's showm me how to surf yet, and I thought they were Gnarly!"

I chose not to tell him about the sharks.

I don't know where you paddled out today. But I got to OB at 9:30 and it was head to overhead offshore and barreling. I saw many beautiful rides and lots of hoots and hollers in the line up.

that picture gives I a headache

Its always barrln for halfmen...I left sloat @ 9 it wasnt barrlin at 6:30 and it wasnt tubbin then. Your delusional!

That pic reminds me of a time a couple years ago in N. Baja when I had to take a buddy to the local med center for stiches on his forehead and eyelid after getting a longboard to the cranium. Still remember having to say to the doctor - "no olvida poner puntas en su ojo" then being stoked that the docs services were entirely free (though by no means quality... local kids called my buddy frankenstien for the remainder of his time in Mex.)

Did anyone else see the guy swimming sans wetsuit at South VFWs around Noon? Nuts... or lack thereof.

Not too good at Spanish, so I went to www.worldlingo.com/wl/translate and discovered that you'd said "it does not forget to put ends in its eye."

Which didn't really help.

Ankors - Salsipeudes has great safe camping in an olive grove (unless you get a storm then it becomes a mud bog) + a great family runs the show... a really good staging point for surfing the Ensendada to Rosarito region and you might even get the "legendary" Salsipeudes but don't count on it -- the point only breaks a few times a year and all the SoCal heads know when it is going to happen so the place will become a zoo.

ank,

erendira.

k-181.

friend #1: i am blond and semi-bearded, but was also hooded today, riding a white board w/gray rails. you?

To bad for all you early morning chargers. I waited until mid-day and found a bar that was working, clean and hollow. Some really fun waves on the sets and only a couple of guys on it. It was good for about 2 hours and then started getting funky.

Don't say charge on this blog. Them are fightin' words.

cool site
http://www.santacruzlineup.com/

Thanks for the props... Bruce asked if photography is addicting? I just got out of the water (after 2 waves), and it was perty OK and snapped some pics because the lighting was insane. Kind of sad, I think. But, I think I nailed a couple of sweet shots of Aleks from Aqua getting pitted on his styli retro board. Nice stuff JOC I'm wonderin where they were taken.

San Miguel has been sketchy as far back as I can remember. I camped there 20 years ago and a friend had a board ripped off from the top of the car. Go past The hills south of Ensenada and get the goods...

second on mexi's comment-drive past ensenada. it ain't that much farther and it's a different world. so much more peaceful and so many waves. haven't been in winter yet though.

Thanks for the suggestions on Baja. Will do some research on those spots.

What with all this northerly swell we might be daft leaving this area - oh well it will then no doubt just descend into a gut wrenching Tequila drinking trip...which might not be a bad thing...

What's with the bs call. We all know you rip. Surfpulse said it was good shape, etc. You bunged up the call on porpoise, Is this site for real or do we need to call you spammy sammy the seal? If you ask mee you should pull the site if you can't or aint got the moral fiber to broadcast the tooth

Mexi- Great photos. Can I get a lesson when you get a chance?

I think this is an experiment by E re all the drafts posts recently about him damaging OB surfing with his positive posts and early day surf reports.

So E – experiment over - it was pretty busy today, regardless of your report (which was in contradiction to all the other SF surf reports) - the outrageous claims about sewage being dumped by a cruise ship is a huge giveaway...come on!!

Not to mention 'wee little dribblers' when there were still overhead waves coming in early afternoon.

So you can rest easy by the fact that you negative report unsurprisingly didn’t clear the beaches - and go back to your normal mode.

miraculously, if I could reel in e's head from amongst the clouds, there were still the same surfers surfing regardless of internet princesses like e prophecizing the surf conditions. If you asked mee, I would suggest: Call it like it is, spend less time talking about your awesome bottom turn, and post lots of cool pics from around the world. thats what you are good at. Plus spinning any yarn not surf related, that is fun. Forcast, report(clinical- sans spin or baloon headed messiah tranny bs) spin a yarn, post a pic. Save the gloating for the pub, and be content knowing you are pissing off one less person.

If people, in general, want to be liked, why are you doing this? A humble report is always more favorable to the head bashing with fists fort point guys than a gloat note.

thanks mexi, your photography is the shit! those pictures are from iberia, i'd be happy to tell you more in a less public forum sometime. paz.
