E's Surf Report

And drift northbound on a current to nowhere.

Anyone going out to O.B. today? I'm thinking about taking off of work and heading down there early afternoon. Who else is going?

I'm too tired to go surfing this afternoon.

Fun, soft&chunky waves but only a few, as my leash (cuff) ripped clean through and sent my board beachward. Inspect your leash! Keep a spare! Memorize some choice potty language for when they break!

If I can get some work done, I might try an arvo at that.

holy Buzzt Kerbox!

Since we can't save surfing. Let's try saving the planet: http://www.bioneers.org/

kloo, ditto on the leash failure. but the good waves warranted retrieving it and rigging that shit up! stoked on some decent waves and a sweet sunset!!

thats Buzzy, Buzzy!

Cadaver you like that one?

Hey Betho,

Your story parallels mine very closely. The only difference, is that I've been "here" my entire life.

When I decided to start surfing, and cross that invisible line that separates you from the people on the beach, I prepared myself by swimming laps at Savo Pool for 6 months. Then, instead of hopping in at OB, I went directly to Lindy. A year later, I began to immerse myself at OB... always looking for solo peaks; still do.

Surfing has only served to increase my appreciation, respect... love of OB. What a resource!

That wasn't me (steve-o), but I too lived in SF and only biked up and down the Great Highway without ever considering starting surfing again. Finally, when I moved down here and stopped racing bikes I got the surfing bug again. I started swimming laps and doing upper body work to get in shape and then jumped right in at crowd central in Santa Cruz. It took two years of surfing progressively harder spots before I got the urge to try OB on a moderate day. Manage to make it outside, but didn't have the guts to takeoff on any waves that day.

Enough of the namers get owned shit. Those pics are TIRED.

Ah, E! Those were the Maalaea pics I was trying to look for! Those were from last week's south swell. Much thanks for posting those! Put them into my surf pic archives.

Well, i'm gonna go this afternoon. Looks like there might be some overhead sets out there at O.B. Sun is starting to come out too. Anyone else going, let me know. I'll be more than happy to meet up with you.

The Brigade is fleeing A-town and hitting up OB this afternoon. We'll be throwing buckets and kicking ass on any peeps we run across. You've been warned. And if we see any short skinny dark-haired loudmouths on big red boards, you will be OWNED.

oh shit.

i think he meant BVB bagel. you're generally a quite-mouth.

Those are the nicest pics I've seeen in a while, insane nutty tube!

My first experience at OB was almost my last, 1990 overhead and I ended up on the beach puking my brains out. I surfed Fort Point for the next year before my second go out at overhead OB.

Just got out of my interest only loan and into a 30 year fixed, a big move that is sure to put a damper on my traveling, but the wife and I decided this is our home for the next 10 years or so. Wait I thought this was the mortgage blog...

quiet-mouth that is.

Everybody is #1 @ Ocean Beach! Yay, happy-happy Ocean Beach #1 Surfer Day. No localism, hooorayyy-yay-yayyy! Pu Insai, yayyyy. Sensi for everybody = Yayyyyyyy....!!!

:^)

yay. and stuff.

Born under a bad sign.

A few months ago I stayed at Maalaea Bay and my balcony overlooked that break. Unfortunately, no waves during my stay. But a big south with perfect angle did come in the day I left. I saw it from the airplane.

If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all.

Well, not really. I often feel pretty lucky. How bout you? Do you feel lucky today? Well do ya punk?

OK. It's quote songs and movie lines day.

phew

I'm so broke, I can't spend the night.
I'm so poor, I can't even pay attention.
Aint got the change for a nickle.

Anyone seen my stash?

I’m pulling the pavement from under my nails
I brush past a garden, dependent on whales
The sloping companion I cast down the ash
Yanked on my tunic and dangled my stash

Zipping through the forest with the curdling fleas
To grow with them spindles, the mutant I seize
I capture the dread beast who falls to his knees
And cries to his cohorts, asleep in the trees

Smegma, dogmatagram, fishmarket stew
Police in a corner, gunnin’ for you
Appletoast, bedheated, furblanket rat
Laugh when they shoot you, say
Please don’t do that

Control for smilers can’t be bought
The solar garlic starts to rot
Was it for this my life I sought?
Maybe so and maybe not (maybe so and maybe not) [4x]

MSG, were you doing a solo yesterday late afternoon?

I saw one person out and a big-ass bolt of lightning in the background. I would have cleared out of the water.

Damn, that is one heavy wave ride. Dumb question, but what board length/shape is it? Looks like he's on a shorter gun, but my vision is failing. Beautiful sunset yesterday evening. Nice finish to a crumby-looking day.

Not sure what it is about this picture but it brings to mind a frequent poster on this site. Anyone else see it?

Nice action shot Bruce!

I've been quite lucky at Maalaea. In the water and late at night on the beach ;)!

my arms hurt.

Anyone seen him live? Incredible reggae voice and i guess he even beatboxes, supposed to be an insane show.

Irie hadistic (sp?) fun!

When I was a clueless grom in 86, I was 16 and I paddled out to OB on a 12 foot day bcecause I thought the inside barrels looked 'pretty' and because my younger brother thought it was a good idea.

I got my ass handed to me.

I was picked off by a set wave that missed the outside bar and doubled up and crushed me. It was ugly and evil and I could not believe a wave could be that pissed.

It held me down way longer than I thought any wave should or could and I crawled back to the beach going WTF was that!!???!!

cool story flap.

i got held down this morning on a random insider. Didn't really prepare myself for the hold-down and therefor started to panic a bit when i realized i wasn't coming up immediately. always scary to get held under for a while. yikes!!

MSG, send me an email (hindmansm at yahoo dot com). I might be able to do an arvo sesh with you today.

i was venting a bit last night, shitty day at work i guess. plus i missed the south last weekend, also work related. my issue in cabo wasn't that i wasn't getting waves, i got plenty that morning both at the rock and yes acapulquito. i was turned off by the aesthetics i guess of a bunch of shallow-seeming white people, placing so much emphasis and seemingly deriving so much of their self esteem and identity, from an activity with no obvious relevance to the wider world, especially the world as it is today (surf art is a joke, i mean i like classic boards etc but i don't think they stand up next to the greats of painting, literature, films etc.) i looked into my future and didn't like what i saw. i still plan to surf ob and other spots around here as often as my job and family obligations permit, but i'm no longer going to consider my self a "surfer" whatever it means. thanks and good day. i do enjoy the reads on this web site i have to say.

Steve, just mailed you.

E, there's a guitar festival in SLO this weekend. It's an all day guitar festival at Cuesta College. I'm heading down on Friday. There's a great flamenco/classical guitarist playing Friday night, and some master's classes too. Wanna go?

Come meet us to get wet this arvo!

I thought that Bruce's dog picture was bad until I saw these fashion fiends;

Pull those O'Neill socks wayyy up there so folks can see the logo dude....nice

I mean, look at me! You got everything, man. I mean... come on! Look what I got to... fuckin' go around with... fuckin' diapers, man. I got fuckin' diapers! I shit in my pants every day, I can't walk, I can't hump... you know! Go ahead and kill me...you CAUUUULK-SUCKER!

Pull those O'Neill socks wayyy up there so folks can see the logo dude....nice
Doesn't that middle guy classify as a "reverse camel toe"?

Can't wait to get out of this cube and slide into a tube!

Your the one looking at the package, dude. camo is making a comeback though.

I had one of my funnest Ocean Beach surfs ever the other evening. Just like in my dreams, the peak wasn't shifting and I was in position with really no one around me for 2+ hours. I had some of the longest rides I've ever had at Ocean Beach, most had two little mini-bowl sections, suitable for runnin' up and squating down for a little cheater-five on the old log. I LOVE small to medium waves. But I'm looking forward to getting some slightly bigger surf and putting my longboard away for a while. The hull on that thing is covered with rail to rail stress cracks from the nose to the fin-box - I gotta get it out of the water before it SNAPS! I need to give it to John Schultz to grab the template and make me another miracle!

Oh yeah, I hate everyone who hasn't been surfing as long as me; if you didn't go to (or drop out from) high school at Lincoln or Washington, don't surf in SF; and last, but not least, if you know how to use a computer STAY OUT OF THE OCEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Just checked Sloat.

OB is awake !

Well i used to say, married women,
are the sweetest women ever born.

Im gonna change that thing
you better leave married women alone.

stoked to be in my office KNOWING
that the sun is out and conditions
improving. YAY!

oy vey.

fun times this day by the bay.
e—i got one of those wake ups today too.
some of those puppies had some punch and
others, not so much. seemed random. maybe
the different swells interacting with the bars?

killer pics of Maalaea!
Went to Buzzy's website did not see them.
Where did you get them?

Mahalo
E

those pics are up on the surfermag site.

Jennifer- Aniston or Connelley??

Which one?

connelley.

I did not post that. Fag.

Hey, Dennis, err... I was out, coulda been me. Was the guy on a longboard, or fish? I was on a fish yesterday, since the waves were smaller. Going out soon today with my bodyboard.

Have fun.

Why I decided to surf:

I remember renting "Endless Summer" in the 8th grade and thinking it was dumb. Fastforward 10 years, I had just started workin in SF was going to OB to go running with the dogs. I had on polarized sunglasses, and as I drove to the end of Geary, I could just see what looked like endless lines of perfect waves marching from the horizon. After my run I'd get in and swim around a bit. I swam in on an inside breaker and thought you probably surf this beach (I don't recall seeing any surfers and didn't know if people surfed there at all). I remember thinking the waves had alot more punch than back on Long Island. I signed up for lessons two weeks later (in October) after reading an article in the New York Times on Santa Cruz that mentioned a surf camp in Pacifica. I'm pretty sure I'm the classic tranny kook surfer, except I arrived in SF post-dot com.

Jennifers = both, at the same time!!!

MSG - looked like a longboard or at least longish.

we'll need to see pictures for that jennifer jennifer thing.

Intersting contest this weekend for those that care. The Pro Abalone. Invitation only for "north coast" regulars/locals. Guys like Richard Schmidt, Frosty, Birdlegs Caughlin, as well as a bunch of others. Will be at a reef on the "north coast" and easy to spot. Camping and party. Come and have fun.

connely for sure

Aniston, fer sure

Jennifer Connelley is so friggin BEAUTIFUL.
MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE IS EPIC!!!

whew, ok, done now.

I'm more interested in something a little easier...

The mistress of convicted murderer Scott Peterson is back in the spotlight after a DNA test showed that her first child was not fathered by the man who has been paying child support.

Fresno hairstylist Anthony Flores, 29, has been paying Frey $175 a month for nearly four years, his attorney, Glenn Wilson, said Wednesday.

The father of the 4-year-old girl is actually Fresno restaurant owner Christopher Funch, Wilson said.

No one answered the telephone at Porky's Rib House on Wednesday, and Funch did not have a listed home number.

"You'd think that Amber Frey's notoriety would have died down," Wilson said. "Unfortunately, she's like a bad penny, she keeps coming back."

Wilson said Flores was preparing to file a court motion seeking visitation rights, which he has been denied, when the man received word last week that he was not the child's father.

"Amber always asserted to him that he was the only guy she was sleeping with during that time period so Anthony's never had any reason to question it," Wilson said. "Anthony's big thing is that his reputation has been harmed. This poor guy can't go anywhere without people pointing at him."

Flores said he feels duped.

"She was very convincing when she told me I was the only person who could be the father," he said. "I want an apology."

Frey, a massage therapist from Fresno, was Peterson's mistress when he killed his pregnant wife, Laci, in December 2003. Her testimony helped prosecutors convict the fertilizer salesman, who was sentenced to death.

Frey's attorney, Gloria Allred, said Wednesday that her client never intended to deceive Flores.

"Amber, in good faith, always believed that Mr. Flores was her child's father," Allred said.

Frey also has another child by a different man.

its the Reef Campground off the Myers grade Road north of Jenner. its a big cove that you cant miss. Its also gonna be packed since there is a south swell still in the water.

Jeff Clark, Da Bull and reigning champ at the reef party last weekend.

sounds like amber frey could be an nba player.

Alba and Simpson. Simpson has got those great boobs. So does Connelly. Great BOOBS!

Man, O.B. was super fun again today! Swell totally dropped the hell off though. Went out with Steve from this board. Steve's a cool guy. Looks like Fall is here.

OK MSG,

Why not rephrase this last post to say:

Man, my session was super fun again today! Swell totally dropped the hell off though. Went out with Steve from this board. Steve's a cool guy. Looks like Fall is here.

???

I'm not asking this question to be a dick, really.

OB is three miles long, so it's not like your naming anything. But just take a moment to ponder the difference between:

Man, O.B. was super fun again today! Swell totally dropped the hell off though. Went out with Steve from this board. Steve's a cool guy. Looks like Fall is here.

and

I was thinking about posting this morning that on the dog walk I saw two dudes on fishes heading out at Avenue X, and when I headed out to surf at Avenue X+2 I saw them walking + (where + is greater in the set of Avenues). So I walked +1.5 down to put in. Thai Chi Guy was heading out at the same time as me and he went a good +2 or 3 before putting in.
I did my best to keep from pooling with the rest of the dudes out (at one point the 10 guys surfing a span of 4 avenues were all within 100 yds of eachother for some reason other than that there being a consistent peak there as in fact, there was not).
And even with my fairly consistent paddling upcurrent, I still traveled +3.5 ave.

But then I thought that might be too specific.

Now that the wind is picking up, I thought it was OK.

in the forward _something about drifting 5

"in the forward _something about drifting 5"

Man, that sounds like, ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US, or something.

Ok, if I were to say, "I was South of Market last night and happen to see Johnnie and the Brigade in front of The Eagle", would that be too specific?

So that I am not too specific, which would be appropriate to post?

I was fooling around with a young lady last night, and I started rubbing:

a) Her camel toe
b) Below her belt
c) Below her neck
d) Somewhere

Lisa Andersson is smoking hott and she surfs better than any of us.

Oh yeah she is also paid a ton of money by Quicksilver to do what she loves.

e is too smart to be behind a computer screen. paddling in and walking away from the beach this morning was so f-n hard. i don't know why we all complain about crowding when really we should be complaining about having lame ass jobs.
