She's trying to jumpstart her career...

Whoa weird surf creature experience! A friend and I got chased off a peak @ rivera by an elephant seal a while back. Charged right at him then dove under a few feet before actually hitting him. We paddled in watched him eat some fish, swim off. We paddled back out. I swear he poked his head up to look at us looking at him from the beach. Localism!

man, thats scary e...i heard those things get pretty agro sometimes.. i shouldnt say what a friend told me he thought he saw yesterday in the water..

ya thanks sharkpait and j, fun times sorry i had to bail out early bummed i missed the kite experiments..

wow winnie, who knew?

It was fun meeting everyone at Sharbait's place. Thanks again SS. I hope I recognize ya'll in the water. The only thing worse than my long-term memory is my short-term memory.

No surf for me yesterday. Way too much stuff to do before I leave on Thursday morning. My laziness is cathcing up to me.
Manana,
manana,
manana is soon enough for me.

fucking A im always afraid of that happening... ill be out in a lineup shittin myself and thinkin oh god this is creepy

that was definitely freaky this morning. it's so scary not knowing what is going on in the murky water under you. fun waves though.

sorry i missed the goon bash. sounds like it was a hoot.

Strange coincidence, e..... At Sharkbait's, Judith was just talking being bumped in the water. She said that usually it was seals and they'd often pop up a couple of yards away and look back at her.

Sharkbait & j -- thanks for the bash! Hope to see some of the heads out in the water.....

Well....did the Goon Squad score?

No one really scored, until later, when the fine ladies from Wicked Weasel showed up.

Heres what got you

Nice seeing everyone in attendance.

saturday afternoon was sick between HMB and SC. dead glass, noone out, overhead combo swell.... too bad i locked my keys in the car and only got to surf for 45 minutes before dark.

Ok this one sorry

what u see bagel?

Josh Kerr interview

A few pics from Saturday at DisneyLane on the site.

Goon Squad Brunch was fun, maybe next time we'll get in the water! Wish I could have talked to more of you but was often distracted by pooch patrol. For example I think I met Korewin but since you used your real name at first I had no idea...? Shoutout everyone for the fridge full of beer [! ]and to Artifact for letting us abuse your kites. There were a couple of items left here so shoot me an email if you're missing something.

Creepy encounter, e! More hyperactive dolphins than seals where I was this morning.

a friend thought he saw the big man, you know the big grey man in a sharks suit..the great grey blue guy..that has teeth that are sharp..and black eyes..but than it turned out to be a dolphin, he thinks..

Wacky. Last week south beach I was dropping into a biggish left when in mid-drop it felt like I'd hit a rock; boom, end of ride. Hard enough that my ankle felt almost sprained for a couple of days. Could've just been a speed bump, but I didn't see it coming. Surf gremlins.

Very fun to meet folks; wish I could've stayed longer and met everyone. Props to sharkbait and j!

Saturday morning fun at Ram Adnil, Sunday oomphy frumpiness at the beach with my little fishy board, which was a mistake---bump, bump, bump, splash. Good surf this morning in the mist at high-tide; glassy, peaky, some walls, much bizarrery; lots of surfers on it, but plenty to go around. One really long ride on a wave that was permanently stuck at the ALMOST breaking stage.

too bad i missed the party. i've yet to meet one person from this blog!!

a 'go skate' day was created last year by skate industry folk and now the surf industry has taken the same day and called it theirs?! geez. what about those of us who skate and surf?! now to do both i'm gonna have to call in sick tomorrow.

of and it was fun to hang, quaff beer and swap story
saturday.

great to meet all of ya'll!

thanks to ss and j for the initiative and for making
it happen. cheers!

Anyone know anything about LSD boards from Pacifica?

LSD makes trippy boards......man

Great to meet the crew Sat! Thanks to ss/j for putting it together and to e for creation of this "community". Glad we at least made it out to the beach, you guys got the hang of the kites down fast. Naturals! The kites and the wandering beach cruisers thank you. It's a trip going from the last time flying a kite when you're 6 years old to the big boys!

The only thing worse than my memory is my eyesight, so hopefully I'll recognize your faces out there. Don't be afraid to shout out in the H20, thanks Kaiser. Is it 5:00 yet?

NO!

LSD boards are totally cosmic man.

big thanks to sharkbait for opening up her panoramic view apartment to us! artifact, thanks for letting us try the kites, solid! between the kites and an extended session in the food chain yesterday my outta shape self is HURTING today.

Artifact - those kites were sweet. Can't wait to do it again. Any large parking lots where we can ride the longskate and get pulled by the trainer (pacbell???).

Also, thanks sharkbait for throwing the shindig. Good meeting all of you!

LSD Boards are from Australia, stands for Luke Short Desins. He is one of the better shapers in the Sydney area and they are really hard to find here in the US.

They are great boards!!

CROP DUSTING: When farting, you walk briskly around the office so the smell is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff but doesn't know where it came from. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full fart has been expelled. Walk an extra 30 feet to make sure the smell has left your pants.
FLY BY: This is the act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk in and check for other poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come back again. Be careful not to become a FREQUENT FLYER. People may become suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom .
ESCAPEE: This is a fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or forcing a poop in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of embarrassment. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter in the urinal, pretend you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee. It is uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy.
JAILBREAK: When forcing a poop, several farts slip out at a machine gun pace. This is usually a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen, do not panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom to spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred.
COURTESY FLUSH: The act of flushing the toilet the instant the poop hits the water. This reduces the amount of airtime the poop has to stink up the bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME.
WALK OF SHAME: Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you have just stunk up the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that the smell does not exist. This very uncomfortable walk can be avoided with the use of the COURTESY FLUSH.
OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER: This is a colleague who poops at work and is damn proud of it. You will often see an Out Of The Closet Pooper enter the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine under his or her arm. Always look around the office for the Out Of The Closet Pooper before entering the bathroom.
THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N): A group of co-workers who band together to ensure emergency pooping goes off without incident. This group can help you to monitor the whereabouts of Out Of The Closet Poopers, and identify SAFE HAVENS.
SAFE HAVENS: A Safe Haven is a seldom-used bathroom somewhere in the building where you can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex. This will reduce the odds of a pooper of your sex entering the bathroom.
TURD BURGLAR: This is someone who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that can occur when taking a poop at work. If this occurs, remain in the stall until the Turd Burglar leaves. This way you will avoid all uncomfortable eye contact.
CAMO-COUGH: A phony cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you are in a stall is called a Camo-Cough. This can be used to cover-up a WATERMELON, or to alert potential Turd Burglars. The Camo-Cough is very effective when used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.
ASTAIRE: An Astaire is a subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential Turd > Burglars that you are occupying a stall. This will remove all doubt that the stall is occupied. If you hear an Astaire, leave the bathroom immediately so the pooper can poop in peace.
WATERMELON: A watermelon is a big poop that creates a loud splash when hitting the toilet water. This is also an embarrassing incident. If you feel a Watermelon coming on, create a diversion. See CAMO-COUGH.
HAVANA OMELET: A case of diarrhea that creates a series of loud splashes in the toilet water. Often accompanied by an Escapee.. Try using a Camo-Cough with an Astaire.
UNCLE TODD: An Uncle Todd is a bathroom user who seems to linger around forever. This person could spend extended lengths of time in front of the mirror or sitting on the pot. An Uncle Todd makes it difficult to relax while on the crapper, as you should always wait to poop when the bathroom is empty. This benefits you as well as other bathroom attendees.

There are some things in life that, unpleasant may they be, are good to know.

Office B-rooms are a tricky place!!!!

WTF is "frumpy"?

Great post!

It deserves some recognition:

sorry about the link everyone. that australian girl is attractive though.

holy heck

Kaiser, is that girl in the gold bikini bottom holding a tiny surfboard purse or something??

I think it is a tiny surfboard. If it is a surfboard purse, that is an ALL-TIME picture!

Pez sent me this pic of him chillin "somewhere" in the Mission this weekend. He won't name the locale though....

Little did Pez know, I was sponsoring the event and of course I brought the ladies...

Anybody want to talk about surfing spots between Sloat and Rockaway? I saw something on Saturday on my way back from the shindig and am thinking of doing some hiking. My email address is downtheline at gmail dot com.

North California: Expect swell arrival starting Saturday at sunset (6/25) with period at 18 secs and size tiny but building overnight. Solid size to be hitting near mid-morning Sunday (6/26) with swell near 3.6 ft @ 17 secs (6.0-6.5 ft faces - best breaks to near 8 ft faces), perhaps building a little more during the day. Size holding into Monday morning (6/27) with a new pulse building underneath after sunset at 16-17 secs. Solid size to continue on Tuesday (6/28) with energy fading out late Wednesday (6/29) as period turns to 14 secs. Swell Direction: 190-198 degrees

fucking amped on that swell

Some of those girls in the Mission look like men.
