E's Surf Report

first post!!!

it's monday when:

-you grab your towel after showering and a large spider falls out your towel right on your face
-you drop a bottle of cologne THRU your sink (yes, there's a nice little hole in it now)

fyi to all, turn on your headlights when you're driving in the rain!

yo - anyone used/seen/heard about the new FCS H2s?

Anyone know if there is any relief fund to donate to? Red Cross? Let me know if anyone has any info. . Thanks

were any of the people killed traveling surfers?

were any of the people killed traveling surfers?

All were people. This is very sad.

Here is a good site for tsunamis - http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/tsunamis/

God those poor people! Ocean gives, ocean TAKES. I'm with todular - suggestions for donations? It's time to step up.

How about a fund raiser? Any Ideas??? A benefit party??? paddlethon?? donation stations at surfshops???

Donate to Red Cross to help:

I don't think the masses that suffered were centered at surf-centric areas. Sure, the Mentawai's had some issues, but Sumatra and Sri Lanka were hit the hardest.

Many of the low laying islands and shorelines were engulfed by the rising water level and tidal waves. As for relief aid, those are great ideas but off the top of my head, I don't know what relief funds would contribute directly to this cause. Maybe the Red Cross or the like.

If you are bored, you can do some research on the tsumani that hit Crescent City in 1964. My family was there at that time and has told me many stories about the force of the ocean. The cause was similar to this event, a earthquake was centered up in Kamchatcka (or thereabouts) and sent tidal waves towards the west coast of the US. Crescent City took the major force of the event.

Other ways to help

i heard that areas with reef are usually spared
their was a tsunami in guam back in 93 and the only areas that got hit where the bays.

thanks for the donation links. apparently, they have no warning mechanisms like we have here in the states. so, most people didn't know to get to higher ground.

saturday was fun! got out around 11:00am. not too crowded, but crowded enough. locked into some nice overhead waves. saw people getting barrelled left and right.

direct link to donate to red cross disaster relief

If you're donating to Red Cross, use the "international response fund" designation.

dudes got a bad case of shrivel dick

Shrivel dicks were surfin' the point but
VATU got in the way.

Vatu surfed Sumatra all his life, secretly - now he is swept away in a bizarre storm - like you could walk instead of wade and shit people be gone forever like that. Neptune speaks to us all in this force of nature.
How selfless are you, you mindless fucking 21st century surfing droid?

12:15pm xmas day and Zog is handing out wax at V point, asks, ' You been a good surfer,?' ' Yeahhhhh - 'co-u-rsse', I say.
DUH. I'M A SURFER. Sure.
Hands me a bar of wax. What a guy. How come they got all the soul down there with no waves and us with no soul and big waves?
Go figure. Things are not making sense.

Man's body found in ocean

HE MAY HAVE PERISHED ATTEMPTING TO SURF IN TREACHEROUS SEAS

By Elise Ackerman

Mercury News

The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office is trying to identify a man who
apparently drowned while surfing Monday afternoon in the turbulent
waters off Montara State Beach.

Lt. Steve Shively said the body of a man in his mid-20s was spotted
offshore about 3 p.m. and recovered by firefighters from Half Moon Bay.

Shively said the man was wearing a wetsuit and appeared to have been
surfing, although no surf board was recovered.

If the man was surfing, he would have been the only surfer to brave
the 10- to 12-foot waves pounding the beach just south of an area of
the coast known as Devils Slide.

``It's really rough out there,'' said Paul Cole, battalion chief from
the Half Moon Bay Fire Department. ``You get into trouble really quick.''

Even experienced surfers sought out sheltered areas such as Cowell
Beach near the Santa Cruz boardwalk. ``It's too stormy to be
successful most places around Santa Cruz,'' said Ryan Thacher, 20,
referring to Monday's weather.

National Weather Service senior forecaster Mark Strobin said the waves
were caused by a winter storm that lashed the California coast and
were not related to the monster earthquake and devastating tsunami
that swept the Indian Ocean on Sunday morning.

Shively said that the surfer's death is being investigated as a
homicide but that authorities have not found any signs of foul play.

``It appears to be a drowning and it appears to be someone who was in
the surf, but we have to eliminate everything else as we go along,''
he said. ``It's better to be safe than sorry.''

Although surfing is considered a treacherous sport, surfers say most
deaths in the water are not related to big waves but to health issues,
like a seizure or a heart attack.

Another surfer died earlier this year after suffering a heart attack,
according to the Santa Cruz County coroner's office.
