Still firing.
Howdy.
Woke up early and drove for a while looking for waves.
Assumed total skunkage but then pulled in for a quick session at cesspool point.
Traded waves with a grisled old-timer.
A few ill-shaped-but-peeling rights offered themselves.
Good vibes in the water.
Bad smells in the water!
Enjoyed the glide on a few.
Pumped on a few.
Kooked on a few.
Massive waves still in the ocean.
Corduroy out to the horizon.
Offshores.
Local beach looking awesome for the hell-chargers.
Doable with nobody out.
Great day for outer-bar stand-up barrels.
Take the 7�6� streamlined semi-gun for a spin� if you like that stuff.
I saw a few gruesome, bombing, peeling leviathans.
If you like big, serious, accessible, uncrowded Nor-Cal power today�s your day.
Don't worry about the kooky crowds because we won't be gettin' out!

Haha, I surfed about as far north ob as you can without drifting around the corner two days ago in the stormiest, gnarliest, dumpiest conditions ever. I got mouth loads full of shit water. I'm probably going to grow 3 more nipples and a fourth arm.
Posted by: Ian at December 10, 2004 11:34 AMian - i actually have 7 nipples so you'll be OK with 3 more
(ok, they're not really fully developed nipples)

Too bad this wave ain't real
Posted by: tom at December 10, 2004 12:34 PMYeah. Pic number 4. I could put myself right in there. Warm blue glassy water, into the wave early, perfect size for power, speed, fun... I want to move to Hawaii.

Posted by: at December 10, 2004 01:51 PM12 noon report.
6-10 out at the North end trying to ride the just overhead off sequence sets. Not looking all that worthwhile but definitely doable paddle-out.
No one visible in ultra-hectic Aves. Super-long inside break zone. Block-long peaks breaking here and there on the outside.
Two people out at the south end. One way, way, way too far out. One trying to sneek through a good rip, but after 10-15 minutes from his start, missing the hole and fighting the current sweep to avoid the ride through the outside impact zone.
Doof and I decided beers and Sausage sounded like a better use of our Lunch hour.
As he put it: "I put my self at 50-50. If you want to go out, I'll go, if you don't want to go out, I won't, and if you are also 50-50, we'll flip a coin and decide."
Posted by: friend #1 at December 10, 2004 01:52 PMthanks for the recap friend #1... sounds kinda hectic out there.
Posted by: e at December 10, 2004 02:09 PMgot the ok to leave early... hope the north end improves with the dropping tide
Posted by: bbr at December 10, 2004 02:12 PMBig and gnarly and beautiful and doable at my beach down here. Skipped across the face a couple of times, pussed out a couple of times, got held down a couple of times, got one ride... and saw the longest left barrel of my life, dude said "yeah, it has been my only wave for an hour but it was a good 'un" Damn straight.
Wonder how good the points look? I am off to seeeeeeeeeee.......

Posted by: seth s. at December 10, 2004 03:05 PMChecked out the scene today at Mavs. Parking lot not too crowded - actually got a spot. Saw a couple people drop in on some bombs. I didn't have the best angle as I was on the beach hanging w/ the dog. Saw a number of people walking / paddling out. Funny, how when you walk back to your ride and you walk pass the people carrying their guns... and in the pit of your stomach you know your aren't man enough to surf Mavericks.. and you feel it... you know what I mean, you feel your balls shrink a little when a hellman walks by, board in hand, and you walk back to your car with your binoculars....
On another note:
Posted by: jhmb at December 10, 2004 03:15 PMCareful standing under the eroding cliffs near Mavericks (or anywhere else along the coast). As I was standing about 20 feet away from the cliff, I heard some rocks making their way down, I turned and saw some debris actually fall on a female bystander near the end of beach. She was OK but a little shaken up. Luckily, the falling debris was rather small and after the shock wore off the gal was ok.
cool seth!

Posted by: e at December 10, 2004 03:21 PMlooks like i'll be heading to Pt Arena area for new years weekend. no one else in my group surfs so my presence should be minimally disruptive. can anyone offer guidance on surf spots up there? i'm at pnmcs at comcast dotttttt net if you'd prefer to keep it on the down low....

Posted by: j at December 10, 2004 04:39 PMe, are you celebrating hanukah? tonights the night to spin your own shamas(sp) and burn it with your tribe, gaze into the flickering light,
share the holidaze vibe.
hope all of niceness scores this weekend. increase the peace.
Posted by: 3to5setsof7 at December 10, 2004 04:56 PMHey bbr, were you on a red bb at the north end at sunset? If so, that was me whipping past in the current.
Very messy, not too bad a paddle, wild and wooly session. Nice just to get wet.
Posted by: klooless at December 10, 2004 06:05 PMyeah that was me klooless, were you the one i talked to for a second about the current? that shit was intense.
Posted by: bbr at December 10, 2004 06:59 PMYep!
Posted by: klooless at December 10, 2004 07:48 PMYep!

Pt Arena has just about one main spot and that is, Pt Arena.
The rest of the spots i could mention are summer south swell reefs which arent worth mentioning till summer so remind me in 7 or 8 months.
Pt Arena gets big and holds serious size.
Surf next to the pier and keep an eye out for Whitey cause he likes to roll thru that hood.
Check out North Coast Brewing for Suds and Eats in the township of Mendocino.You might spot a film crew or two there because the place looks like a New England coastal town.And maybe bring some dramamine for the drive.....HNY
Posted by: Sutro at December 11, 2004 08:11 AMHey E -- I don't think anyone mentioned it but that story you wrote on 12/9 was awesome, I mean really, really good.
