do you have a big block of yellow shit in your ear canal that will not come out? do you have to lip read people?

Go to Chinese Medicine shop in Chinatown and buy a few ear candles and some bai jiao buns.
The ear candles work, be patient and eat the bai jiao buns while the candle work their magic!

That Chinee medicine won't do jack shit for you. Let me dig in there with my shuriken and pull out all of your Caucaus wax shit. Stop using Q-tips. That just pushes it in further.

"Your boys have now been identified by wetsuits and boards and a hazing is in the offing"

Yes, we can ID you. You were the ones in the black wetsuits and the white boards. Get them!!!!

bloodninja: Ok baby, we got to hurry, I don't know how long I can keep it ready for you.

j_gurli3: thats ok. ok i'm a japanese schoolgirl, what r u.

bloodninja: A Rhinocerus. Well, hung like one, thats for sure.

j_gurli3: haha, ok lets go.

j_gurli3: i put my hand through ur hair, and kiss u on the neck.

bloodninja: I stomp the ground, and snort, to alert you that you are in my breeding territory.

j_gurli3: haha, ok, u know that turns me on.

j_gurli3: i start unbuttoning ur shirt.

bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't wear shirts.

j_gurli3: No, ur not really a Rhinocerus silly, it's just part of the game.

bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't play games. They f*cking charge your ass.

j_gurli3: stop, cmon be serious.

bloodninja: It doesn't get any more serious than a Rhinocerus about to charge your ass.

bloodninja: I stomp my feet, the dust stirs around my tough skinned feet.

j_gurli3: thats it.

bloodninja: Nostrils flaring, I lower my head. My horn, like some phallic symbol of my potent virility, is the last thing you see as skulls collide and mine remains the victor. You are now a bloody red ragdoll suspended in the air on my mighty horn.

bloodninja: Goddam am I hard now.

wow dude your instant massage skillz are uncanny! u a q t!

The surf rocked this morning.......second one out with plenty to choose from. In the moments of non-paddling, I decided to strip all the glass off my old boards and sell the blanks.

Those ear candles do work, but I recommend that you have someone do them FOR you (preferably someone who's done it before). Do not try to do it alone, or you'll mess up the correct positioning while your fussing.

You can get them at Whole Foods or Rainbow, also.

The ear candles draw out an almost incomprehensible amount of gook (wax, yeasty shit, etc) from the inner ear. When you look into the bottom of a spent ear candle (it's actually a cone) you might freak out at the debris, but that's a good sign.

Don't do the ear candle too often - some of what is extracted is actually needed for your inner ear bioflora. You don't want to strip-mine your ear canals, just an occasional cleansing. Hope this was helpful.

E- well said...I often quit fighting the current and seem to always drift into a rip and then spend the rest of the day fighting to get back...

why are people so grumpy in the lineup? we are so lucky... the vibe sometimes doesnt make sense - it is usually guys who give the vibe (rarely women) - dropping in on someone - I don't think so and Mr. Macho thinks because he is right there waiting and then decides to go for it last minute that he has the right of way. Entitlement - ego - aggression - surfing is so peaceful and enjoyable, being out in the water... reading E's report total niceness.

if you've got some gunk in your ears and you know a japanese woman, ask for the mimikaki. there is nothing better.

actually many people seek medical treatment for "gunk" in their ears and I often take care of them, no joke!

Crowd ebbed and flowed like the tide out there today.

Session was bookended by great views of nice slotted trips by Kdalle early and Sparky late.

Steamwand out on a longer board.

Doof on his 6'10"

I liked the extra 2 & 1/2 feet I had on him.

More is better.

suns out, time to go surf. local 415 is the man! woo hoo!

Yesterday eve session was really fun. Lots of barrels!

length of board: i totally have so much fun on that board whenever i ride it. a 7'6" coffey, BIG board for my 5 foot frame. i don't know why i don't ride it more often. i love it. it is so much easier to get into waves and it made it easier to get around the minefield today. but...i don't know...i just still have this shortboard prejudice thing that i was raised with, that is stupid, i know, but i couldn't really get vertical on the lip on that thing even if i could get vertical on the lip, which i can't. know what i mean?

how do you get vertical?

snowwhite I get verical by pumping a bottom turn and pushing straight up the face of the wave. Also vertical on the steep takeoff.

re: those candles that supposedly pull crap out of your ears--i tested one, sealing it up in a small glass container (representing the ear), lit it, and lo and behold, same results--lots of junk in the candle (plus additional crap going into the ear)

complete bs, those things. nice surf recently.

e
your beach looks preety good today on surfpulse view 2

my local beach was vertical today

If you want vert. Go skate pacifica. Sessioned it yesterday on my longboard. LOVE IT.

Shout out to s.s. sharkbait. You are fab!

oops I named

Surf is looking real fun and nice out there. Dammit. I really need to buy a 4/3 soon.

Nice to meet steamwand this morning. She pulled a few great drops on some pitching set waves. NICE!
friend #1 sneaking into the bigger sets as usual.
Mr. Doof with a picture perfect right on his homemade stick.

Really just a great morning AFAIK.

yeah, doof, i can't believe you made that thing. looks like it works great. you were throwing buckets.

e I definately take off on too many close outs.
I favor my backside and often backside dropknee railgrab on the vertical closeout. That way I go ovadafalls face first. No way any other passion can provide that thrill.

letter from Clark regarding the shutdown:

i need a brain candle. got a damned flu; so more waves for y'all. but yesterday was really fun on the outside at low tide. not nearly as crowded as today is, by the cams (saw 12 surfers on "view 2"), and i think maybe the waves were (even) better. the sets were a little sparse and unpredictable peak-wise but that spread out the line-up, and i got lucky and had plenty come to me, including some great ones to not do justice to. i was on a 7'4" coffey, which i like in overhead stuff for the same reasons you say, steamwand. easier to get over to the peak, more room for error timing it, etc.

count me with all the bad answers to your questions, e, except i try to find my own spot, and i don't know what stinkbugging is.

mimikaki=scratched ear drums

mimikaki translation: ear shit (literally)

The Colonel is stoked. Yesterday he found out that all it takes is a 415 birthright to own the Niceness crew and rule the heavy peaks of OB. Growing up in Palo Alto, the Colonel was straight-up 415 from Day 1. 415-325-7559...it just rolls of your tongue, doesn't it? Mmmmmm...the Colonel is just FEELING THE NEW POWER. So from way down here in the OC, and from an hour's drive from SC (pre HWY 85...and please don't mind the smoking '79 volvo station wagon spewing coolant into the lush HWY 17 vegetation halfway up the mountain - it's the Colonel's goddamn old man's fault for forgetting to check the oil) to the old homestead at Marion and Middlefield and another 45 minutes up 280 to catch the '86 Vuarnet Pro-AM back in the day, the Colonel says, "415 Locals Rule...and don't surf Southside Palo Alto...Stanford trannys, SPLIT." And to his 415-Local brethren, the Colonel says, "Brothers don't shake hands, brothers HUG!"

Hey colonel, that's good being from Palo Alto and all circa 1980's. Maybe I know you?

yeah those bitches down in mountain view were 408? right?

fuck i'm bored today.

I remember being bummed when 650 came into being. Also a circa 80's-90's 415 local, so I guess that I'm now entitled especially since I can see the beach from the new digs. sweet, and last evening was fun and glassy

Yeah you might know him out of the 50,000 living in Palo Alto. I rep FC, Foster City biaatch. Belmont trannykooks beat it.

Off to get the dropping tide reef session. Swell still around down here and it is getting cloudy and gray, just the conditions i love to surf in. I love being off of work.

When I was a kid, my phone number was 1201. It was also a party line. If I picked up the receiver, I could listen to my neighbors converstations-and vice-versa of course. You had to interrupt a caller to ask if you could make a call. Talk about crowded lineups. Later on, our number was changed to BUtler8-1201 and that ended party lines. Translates to BU8-1202. Rotary phones only. The good old days sucked.

awwww man....you don't wanna see the shit that comes out of my ears after a good stretch of surf! the ob washing machine is not kind.

the mimikaki is not for amateurs. nor are the maggots in papua new guinea known for their deep-cleansing abilities.

That John Schultz guy all of yous want to *** **** **** is from los altos circa 1980's.

Yesterday was some surreal dream. Men wearing flip flops and holding whipped cream stood around while a kangaroo raped a crying man. And then there was an attack of 60 foot pictures, followed up by supporters bleating entitlement to publicizing the local beach. Today there's nary a trace left. Did it really happen, or was it just a dream I had?

the BEST area code is the 5 and dime.
not an original comment and i do not even live in
oaktown but a good friend does and is enormously
proud of his 510.

there is a small electronics store in berkeley
that still has a 415. now that is a local.

yeah dennis i remember trying to win ozzy tickets
on the radio and furiously dialing the yellow wall
mount rotary phone...waiting for the dial to roll
back so i could plug in anouther number.
i did not win the tickets BUT my friend's dad took
us to the show. randy rhoads last tour.

"an attack of 60 foot pictures"
lol

when i was 16 i wanted to go see Ozzy but my pops wouldn't let me because he heard he was anti-semitic.

sucked.

yeah.. awesome post "group neckrub and bootie sniff-off at 4!"

Boards at the C.I. shop in Santa Barbara are now 850.00 and up.
Wise has not raised his prices.But,you can't buy more than 2 boards.

As far as I could tell, I was the first one out at whatever spot that was this morning.

That itself is always a minor vitory for me and one that meanless to claim, but c'est la guerre.

Caught a number of low light waves and I have to say, a crappy wave when you are all alone is a delight....no one on the shoulder waiting for you to fall after you try something new takes a lot of stress off.

Then Kdalle showed up, and Steamwand. I confused her name with Sharkbait for some reason. We three traded waves briefly and then Friend #1 joined in. Somehow I managed to catch a few waves that snuck through this phalax.

I saw Sharkbait, errr, Steamwand lock into a pretty good looking left at one point. It was a helluva long ride. Kdalle snagged any number of super looking peaks, as well as a few that were just drops with the wave backing off quickly....we've all been there. Friend#1 stroked into a mighty fine set wave more than once, and while he bogged it on one that I saw, that was the exception.

My favorite wave of the day was right after Kdalle and I saw Friend #1 go left one a big peak that slotted him through the crowd that had drifted south. After that wave, the peak shifted over a little to us, and Kdalle and I had to paddle over the first one. He picked up the one following it and dropped out of sight as I paddled over it. I managed to the get into position for the following one and rode a nice speedy right all the way down the line to where Kdalle had kicked out of the prior wave...I managed to carve around him and pop over the wave just a little to the inside of him. Sorry if I cut it a little close for comfort, Kdalle...while not a total spaz out there, I think I can look a little unpredictable when I'm making my way down the line...moreso with the idiot smile I sometimes wear.

Then this brood split up and there was the dealing with different groups of peopel that drifted or paddled by. Neutral vibe from everyone, but you could tell everyone wanted their slice. Only saw one incidence of drop-in, but I think they were friends. Or not. Nothing came of it as far as I could tell.

I was not sure which direction was the better wave today, right or left. I think my best wave was a right, but I had any number of long lefts too.

Felt bigger yesterday, more consistant today. Had a great time.

Only wish it were colder to keep more people in bed longer. ;)

714 -> 510 -> 415

Allstar day.

This morning's session made the day already.

Doof is still trying to beat his cold so opted out of Lunch.

I decided to just go out for the one hour power session.

Looked for the best peak and set up a bit outside looking for "those ones that swing wide"

It was either the big wide lefts that broke outside and to the south, or the big rights that broke a touch further in and were a tad shorter in height at the peak. But a loooooonnnngggg right wall and a stacked up left drop.

So many waves paddling hard to the north, then the big drop and carve left to go right, set up on the wall, watch dudes paddling for the shoulder and ducking into the wall in front of me.

December is the new November.

Fairies Wear Boots... I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes.

play by play internet spray of a session? got soul?

Picked off three nice glassy overhead waves just before dark. More fun than riding in a one horse open sleigh.

And one more thing - second from the right. Most natural.

Anyone listen to Alvin Lee? E, you ever get into this famous blues guitarist? I'm looking for some recommended recordings.

that guy looks like a chinese dude crossed with a viking

Can any of my friends explain why some guy would spend his life trying to disrupt a friendly blog? The intensity of the posts suggests (to me) that it's not working for him anymore.

Heather,
What is your number?

Bad Vibe Chumash rips!

I lived in CR for 1 year. Lived and worked a 9-5 job in San Jose, and bolted almost every weekend for the coasts to surf. What a life!

Did you live there too? When?

"Can any of my friends explain why some guy would spend his life trying to disrupt a friendly blog? The intensity of the posts suggests (to me) that it's not working for him anymore."

So stop talking to yourself and move on...ass eyes...
