e - i feel you. Damn this code!!!!!
That was Lindy yesterday!?!?! F**K!!!!
From Surfpulse:

Good morning. We have gorgeous blue skies today, with light offshore winds blowing across stacked lines as they approach Ocean Beach. Big, long period swell has arrived, and the outer bars are exploding with hollow, double and triple overhead set waves on the north end of the beach. A mix of peaks and walls smashing their way towards the sand. The middle of the beach is even bigger, with big, wide, hollow sets closing out four or five blocks between Noriega and Taraval. Miles out, you can see a line of whitewater formed by huge waves scraping against the outer shoals. Sloat is the only part of the beach that is rideable, but it is rideable only for very experienced surfers with very large boards. This morning I saw a total of two guys in the water. One guy dropped onto the shoulder of a huge 4X overhead peak, turned off the bottom, and rode back up and over the face. Another guy I watched as he paddled from the beach, and almost made it out before a heavy set broke on top of him and washed him inside. It's heavy out there today, so be careful wherever you end up.

Ambrose scores a wild ride, barely holds on. Pete Mel is now doing commentary and whining about how he was underscored on his last wave.

thanks for the recaps Blakestah. Keep them coming!

Gueiros gets a big drop into a long one. Pulls into a closeout tube in second bowl. He got both a big drop and sat in the tube for a second or two, probably get scored well on that one.

Next heat comes on...
Seelbach, Washburn, Flea. Rhodes, Fletcher, and Wormhoudt.

what site blakestah?

Did Alex or Ryan surf yet???

Thanks Stah..

blakestah doesnt want to tell you the site. this way he can be the guy in the KNOW!

http://mavericks.bolt.com/thecontest/webcast.php

I lost the connection. Just picked it back up. Washburn already has two waves. Seelbach got a good one. Now Tashnick is whining about Mel's wave, says it was unreal. Mel had said it was one of the best waves he ever got at Mavs. Tashnick isn't really complaining about his own placing, but about Mel's. He said the bar was set pretty high.

I'm going through mediazone.com

ktvu.com has it and it even works for me (streaming is usually blocked at work).

Their cameraman has just about figured out that he has to pan to keep up the surfers. He sure knows how to follow a helicopter though.

huge set just came through and nobody went??

Seelbach got a big one deep! Got gobbled up in second bowl.

any news on alex??

Heat 3 results
1. Grant Baker (South African)
2. Danilo Couto (Brazil)
3. Ambrose (Pacifica)

Going home:
Gueiros
Augenstein
Ken Collins

Alex didn't make it through, the webcast was disjumbled and I couldn't really tell what was happening.

Zach Wormhoudt got a smaller one, second bowl didn't really form.

this streaming crap dosen't work-even if you have huge cable bandwidth. it's like tv probably worked in 1930 or something
JUST AIR IT ON CABLE ACCESS OR SOMETHING

shit - Tashnick and Mel just torched the outhouse at the start of the trail. Mel is furious!!! "Did anybody see my fucking 10 FOOT airdrop?????" - Tashnick keeps screaming "Westside, bitches!!!" Skindog was just sent home. Shit, the Brewery is going to get fucking trashed tonight.

Grant goes SUPER deep. He pulls up on the face and finds a little pocket, almost, the whitewater starts to eat him, and his board goes flying. But he made the drop, and was just too deep to connect to second bowl. BIIIG face.

"going home" kinda a derogatory and probably untrue way to describe a guy's result. i'll bet they hang around for the free lunch and beers and adoration of the thousands of chicks that came down to check out the circus.

while you sit in front of your computer regaling the niceness kooks about some day you were out in the channel for the thousandth time.

Grant goes SUPER deep. He pulls up on the face and finds a little pocket, almost, the whitewater starts to eat him, and his board goes flying. But he made the drop, and was just too deep to connect to second bowl. BIIIG face.

Flea misses a big airdrop.
Zach got a big drop, on a medium sized wave, doesn't go through second bowl again.

seems like today might be a day for the patch. i could see it breaking as i was driving over the bridge.

Waves are getting bigger with each heat as the tide drops. Replay of Wormhoudt's wave, and you can still see Flea on the inside about to get munched again. Ryan gets a medium-to-large drop, only hits first bowl. Very smooth and in control.

streaming works fine. check your internet connection, or close down the porn stream you have working in the other window.

http://www.ktvu.com/video/6790909/detail.html

i'm glad KTVU offered this for free.

i just saw that Coast Guard Cutter pull up to the outside. RAD!!

Fletcher gets a clean one, not particularly thrilling, kinda similar to Wormhoudt and Seelbach's last wave in size and ride.

every time a nice set rolls in the stream cuts

i think i've got a crush on the tide commercial lady

Flea and Washburn apparantly getting into it - Flea pulls out a fucking knife!!! What??? Charged with interference. Probably not advancing. Santa Cruz boys now determined to "ruin it for the fans."

Zach Womdhoudt gets a HUGE one. Makes the drop, too deep to make out of first bowl, deeper than Grant's wave and about as big.

Alex Martin at Mav's heat 1

Flea gets one. More of a medium to large one. He makes second bowl and lines it up very well. Looks like a major slash is on order. He starts the slash and falls.

Fletcher goes left on a deep one. He really runs right at the whitewater line as it curls, very nice.

Nathan Fletcher goes left - Mel still won't let it drop - screams "lefts don't count at Mavs!!! I airdropped 10 feet and only Tash saw it!!! I should of stayed at the shop!!!!!"

Fletcher goes left again, this one not nearly as impressive a wave, very clean and smooth ride.

Damn this is exiting reading! Go Bstah!

Heat is over, next heat is semis...Evan Slater and Brock Little out of the gate early with medium sized ones.

who's in this heat?

Evan Slater goes DEEP. He barely makes it (similar to the positioning on Grant's big one). The whitewater is chomping on his tail all the way through second bowl, Evan doesn't do any impressive turns, but the mere fact he stays on his feet the entire way and makes it clean off the back will be looked upon favorably.

I think the KTVU cameraman is drunk.

Somebody just dropped a bomb though...

Ugh, it stinks in here now.

This heat. Russell and Tyler Smith (brothers), Evan Slater, Brock Little, and I think Josh Loya and Randy Cone.

Brock Little scores one. Spends half a second weightless on the drop. The announcer is confused on the people in various color jerseys....someone went for a drop and airdropped it, landed, and pitched off their board, we don't know who...this is really a professional show!

Tyler Smith gets an impressive one. Critical positioning, makes it smoothly. Waves are definitely getting a little more hollow now.

a knife? seriously?

Sponsor CLIFFBAR just reneged on its offer to buy enough wind credits to offset contest environmental damage - Fans on cliff apparantly knifed the 30ft Cliff Bar banner to shreds after views were obstructed.

lol! check out this video on sfgate.

Chronicle outdoors writer Paul McHugh reviews some of the spectacular action from the 2005 Mavericks Surf Contest.

the commentator sounds like the high school science teacher that always put me to sleep. favorite line. "the boy is charging very hard."

quote of the day.

"this house guarded by shotgun three nights per week. YOU guess which three."

dumb. stop posting here.

Yes, a knife, seriosly!!! Listen, do you want Blakestahs candy coasted coverage or do you want to know what the hell is really going on down in the trenches? Fuck, wake up people. Holy shit, Grant Just brought out a 15 foot paddle board after his heat and is DOING LAPS FROM BOUY TO PEAK, BUOY TO PEAK. An insane waterman machine!!!

FLEA officially out - HMB police and mayor on scene as escort out of town. Cruz boys are LIVID!!!!

Gotta go work away from the webcast, someone else should take over....where are the heat 4 results?

Grant Washburn
Ryan Seelbach
Zach Wormhoudt

Advance

Not advancing
--------------
Flea
Nathan Fletcher
Shawn Rhodes

I'm really surprised Fletcher didn't make it with two lefts, one really impressive, and a right. Anyway. Grant wins the heat. Ryan second, go SF!!!

i hope all the santa cruz guys lose early. I'd even pull for evan slater or brock or Nathan or anyone over them.

anyone but a santa cruzer!

What happened to Greg Long?

Needles hooks a big one and rells him in all the way to the beach! What next??!!!

"i'd kill a commie for free, but for a green card? i'm gonna carve him up real nice!"

I just got back from the contest. I work right over HMB in San Mateo. Damn, that cliff was a zoo... glad I brought the binoculars.

Okay, so who actually went surfing today?

its not nice to fool peeps over the internet.

60th post

que pasa a los hobres de Santa Cruz? Dios mio. Un gringo de South Africa? Un de Brasil? Me gusta el West Side Crew, y ellos conzcen el break. No hay justicia!

Carlos Burle being interviewed. In broken english without a translator he slams the judging process. "Let the people VOTE!" No shit!

Evan Slater with probably his biggest hold down ever. A three ski rescue but alive.

needles are you serious now or joking?

e- both of my last statements are true. especially slaters drop. it was huge. you'll see it soon enough.

Ok, what is going on at our beach? Anyone, Buehler?

ask blakestah kaiser. he KNOWS EVERYTHING!

ktvu is all news now, why can't i watch the live feed...

Where's the candy coast, needles?

whats the free link?

best day ever grrr

OB was very large, consistent and majestic this morning. Saw at least 6 people on it. Only saw a couple of rides. Some 15-18' peak faces for sure. Big lulls and then 5,6,7 wave sets. My secret spot looked reasonable for the paddle and I could make excuses but, it was late and I was just not up for the pounding and potential swim...sigh. Sunny, warm, light offshores...tomorrow maybe...

Damn you to hell Jeff Clark.

That KTVU camera seems to be down again

Nah, bagel, not the best day ever. It was better early morning, but it got pretty inconsistent at 11. Not nearly good as the swell that hit Mav's in early Jan.

I HATE SURFING!!!!

(when i'm not surfing)

im just talking about the weather.

like i wouldnt mind going to the fishin hole type of shit.

Semi Final 1 Results

Tyler Smith - SC
Brock Little - HI
Evan Slater - Carlsbad

something d-o-o economics. vodoo economics. great post kaiser!

Now that all the Cruz boys got evicted, who is left?

Somewhere to the north.

Somewhere south.

holy crap i went to art school with that girl whos interviewed in that channel 2 mavericks quip. she didnt surf 5 years ago.

where did blakestah go?
why are people mad at Jeff Clark? I can never understand that.

it would be awesome to surf the left in Dennis' first pick. It would suck caca to be caught inside on Dennis' second pick (that guy should've gone) and the stand-up paddler ex-footballer in Dennis' third pick rules.

that low tide left is peeling forever . . .

dudes, NBC11.com has awesome streaming live footage of Mavericks from a helicopter.

Here's the direct link to the video player.

Grant "TWIGGY" Baker from South Africa is going huge in Semi Finals 2. He should be advancing to the finals. Maybe in with his new buddy Grant Washburn. Apprantly they've become snuggle partners over the last month while Twigzz was up here training for the big event. Folks, this is the color commentary you won't get from Blake.

On behalf of the web streamless, tons of thanks for the Mavs commentary. So where's Alex?

The beach is warm, offshore, and absolutely psycho. Outer bars are pushing whitewater walls around 15', 20' plus on some when the lip crashes and the water bounces up. And compared to this morning, it looks a bit smaller.

bbr was that you out yesterday morning...?

half the people on this surf report didn't surf 5 years ago. why pick on the artist chick?

sick heli-stream!! yellow board pulled into a pit with the chopper directly above!

and how come the 'surfers' make you pay to see this thing while the media offers it for free?!

get back to work!

screw MAVS ...monster energy pro going off!PIPELINE shits all over MAVS

I count 7+ people in the lineup. I thought it was 6 man heats....curious?

I'm getting nothing by stream. I think a bunch of people in my office are streaming CSK's funeral. Damn inconsiderate of her to die so close to the contest.

heli-cam rules!

hey boss. it's my lunch break. cut me some slack aight?

Semi Final 2 Results:
1. Grant "Twiggzzzz" Baker
2. Grant Washburn
3. Matt Ambrose

The Final Are SET:

Tyler Smith
Brock Little
Evan Slater
Grant Baker
Grant Washburn
Matt Ambrose

ouch yellow board dude

Third pick I cannot take credit for...

"where did blakestah go?"

blakestah moved inland, or something.

"why are people mad at Jeff Clark? I can never understand that."

i dunno. but if you were his neighbor / fellow local down here, and you had to deal with him doing shit like practicing tow-ins at your home break you might not like it.

i am, and i don't, and we've had words over it, and in my book he's an ass.

the waves were/are pretty nice today.

evan's lost a step since the accident, and paid for it today, pushing a little too hard. hope the guy's alright.

it is otherwise a righteously beautiful day in the neighborhood.

--

Interesting article about the landlord. Sharks and human genes:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20060207/sc_space/sharkssixthsenserelatedtohumangenes

the jet-skies leave a wake right in the path of the surfers as their paddling for waves. that's gotta suck. I hope Grant Washburn wins, or Brock. Please not Tyler Smith.

What a zoo. I'm going out on a limb here...it would have been a better and real contest if it were held at OB this morning. Today Mavs is just a big drop into a huge channel with skis to pull em out if they fall. Bet they're drinking lattes off the boats between waves. Let em take a 6 wave set at OB on the head and paddle back out. Damn you to hell Jeff Clark.

I gotta get in the water.....

What ever happened to the OB pro contests?

im not picking on her, she was a really cool girl. there was a bitter taste to my post though, sometimes i get bummed that everyone surfs now to be honest. im a bit selfish and lame in some ways. woo heli cam!

What bums me out is I used to surf better than some folks that now surf better than me. And they don't surf any better than before...

dennis, i shoulder-hopped on your wave pics.

it's like a big drop and than massive mush burger sandwich ... picked the wrong day

blegh

Baker gets a 10! First of the day

Party post rza?

Twiggzzz Baker just pulled the first 10 of the day in the finals.

J Clark still at the bar in the Brewery, "Fix this, NOW!!!!"

Brock Little nabs a HUGE drop and gets munched big-time in second bowl.

Evan Slater follows with a big drop into a closeout tube on second bowl.

Brock's drop was more impressive.

On reply, Slater just pulled under the lip and got drilled when it hit.

Washburn makes a HUGE drop and gets out clean. Fast and furious.

Twiggz broke his board and is riding Greg Long's board now...it is now lowtide, you can walk out to the reef.

And it's still boring.

Ambrose scores a deep one with Tyler Smith on the shoulder

Mush

Brock Little scores a medium sized one and works it through second bowl before pulling off the back.

Tyler Smith gets a HUGE one. Looks like he was eaten by whitewater, but he somehow pops out and gets off the back clean.

They are jetski'ing Brock to get his backup board. Looks like Brock had a mishap with Tyler's wave.

They would never run the Eddie it such puny conditions. They'd call this Pinballs.

It's all about the $$$$$$$$

someone just fell off the cliff.

yeah, it is still boring, but that live heli cam feed is awesome. That has to be the best quality live feed I've ever seen on the Internet. It's like watching TV.

The waves definitely dropped from the morning. Most of those guys are now just floating out there. Looks like the camera guy is even bored -- he's panning on the other camera flying low.

How was their score?

Big lull.

Evan Slater gets a good medium sized one. They are really jacking up at the main bowl, it goes from medium sized to extra large in 20 yards.

Huge on out the back. No one on it. Twiggz is way off to the size, shoulder hops it after everyone else passes.

yeah, let's call it a party post - cause i tried to snake you but you moved too quickly into position. next post is all you.

yeah, everything sucks and everyone is stupid. I hate everyone - it's all so lame. why can't it just be me and perfect waves at OB, with beautiful, soulful women watching. I am so much better than all of this.

Ahhh, fack, the heli cam go bye bye

Huge drop, made it all the way down, but didn't clear first bowl. Big one. Brock Little.

Another wave followed, the rider cleared second bowl, almost, tried to pull into a tube, and didn't make it out.

Tyler Smith gets a big one, but not that deep, almost out of the bowl.

Ambrose gets a smaller one and tracks it through second bowl.

Heli cam now focusing on an ambulance. Can see a stretcher being taken out...........

Great. It's more dangerous on the cliff than in the surf. HMB is gonna get their ass sued for this one. I predict this is the last year for this scam.

ambulance coming through...

Paramedics hauling a gurney down on the sand while the heli-cam frantically pans and zooms trying to find the victim.

Tonight's lead: Jeff Clark, the namer's namer gets named in a personal injury suit

Umbrella - nope. Dude dragging ice-chest - nope. Old lady sitting on the reef - nope.

Now TAHT"S a huge drop.

It's like Altamont and Clark think's he's Jagger....

Evan Slater goes deep on a medium sized one. Clean ride, a little vertical on the takeoff, but otherwise not a standout one. His wave opening the finals was impressive, though.

Saggy, is that you on the cliff giving the chaka?

did she actually fall off that cliff??!

Sets coming.

First one..someone got totally drilled, board visible in the lip

Tyler Smith gets wave two in the set, beautiful drop. Whoever was inside got drilled by wave two. Tyler Smith rides well past second bowl and does a little cross-step before jumping off.

Who got drilled?

Another huge one, someone makes it 20 yards down before getting munched...Twiggz got drilled on that one, still don't know who got drilled earlier.

No, there was a mini landslide, and a woman got hurt by the landslide.

8 minutes remaining...

Brock gets a clean medium-to-large one with a critical takeoff, but falls off stupidly between 1st and 2nd bowls...really nice face on that one, although it wasn't the biggest ever.

My stream was blocked......thanks for providing the play by play today....

They're taking her away on the stretcher with a neck brace on. .....

Ambrose makes a drop, medium-large, loses balance in the flats, stalls, gets munched. He made the drop all the way, though.

Matt Ambrose's Mom is on the mic now.

five minutes.

Tyler Smith nabs another big one. He's definitely having a good finals.

That's just sad

And that's all she wrote. Tyler Smith clearly had the most clean rides, but that is not all that matters. Twiggz had the highest scoring rides. Slater got a bunch of rides, too.

The betting pool is open...what leads on NBC11 News tonight, the fall or the surf. If it bleeds it leads. This is a great moment for the sport of surfing. Back to you Fred Hemmings...

Thanks Bstah. Couldn't watch the vid so much appreciate the commentary.

Whoa, g - do you live in a different HMB than me, or what? I've been surfing 150 - 200 days per year for the last 15 years in the neighborhood and never once have I been hassled by a jetski. No, I don't surf Mavs, but I also rarely surf at the Jetty. Reefs and beachbreaks for me, please. The closest I've seen a ski to regular surfers was about a month ago. Ion was goofing around with a buddy in the shorebreak on a waist high day. The nearest paddle-in was about 500 yards away. Sounds like you have some other beef with Mr. Clark...

What happend with Alex? Saw one pic of him but nothing else.

Well, judging by the fact that NBC completely ignored the surf even after it looked like the woman would probably be OK, I'm putting $100 on the accident being the lead.......

Alex placed fourth in the first heat. he was pretty bummed as I saw him walking away from the beach. Too bad, Alex charges.

I switched over to Pipe a long time ago. Monster Energy Pro is on with Sunny G in the booth. He is pretty solid in the booth. Calling the dudes out in the water for poor positioning. Classic.

I switched over to pipe a long time ago too...

Nice source! Big fan...

good call. is that sunny though?

"That guys' positioning is all wrong!!"

He's dropping knowledge about the proper rocker to surf pipe. Locals are gonna be pissed he is letting secrets out.

Its cool, he will pound 'em.

OK, where's my $100? Check out nbc11.com .... Followed Kaiser's lead and am now on the Pipe.....

The inside at OB's looking like a washing machine set on "death cycle, extra rinse. I'm sure it is a ragdoll gauntlet for the brave and the stupid.

Oh man, I just wrote a sweeeet line of code!!

Oh, man, you guys gotta check this out:

http://www.uscg.mil/hq/g-o/nmlbs/video.html

There's one video of a CG Cutter going near the GG bridge through some big surf. It actually catches a big wave.

a missive from my friend who took me surfing for the first time more than a decade ago:

It started out like ass, when I first got there at 7:45. So I walked up and down the beach, past the hippies campground and the Tai Chi lady dressed in pink. Freaks. I watched and waited and watched and waited and it got warmer and nicer out but the surf still sucked and finally at about 9:00 I couldn't wait any longer so I went to take a crap and decided to take a chance and I suited up.

Then when I paddled out at the p***h I saw inconsistent waves breaking waaaaay outside. I caught a couple screaming bombers going left and kept cutting back and they went a LONG ways and were super fun. But then nothing else came for a long time so I paddled in and found that the inside had cleaned up and was working! So I caught about 10 of those, rights and lefts until I was exhausted and had to hurry home. But not before I stopped at the hippie health food store and got my chai and almond cookie. I got home after 11:00 and nobody missed me at
work. I sent a few emails before I left at 7:00 am. to try and cover my ass.

Now, girlfriend, thats how its done! You should been there.

well post the code sactomex!

That one under the bridge is insane! Great find! That had to be a surfer at the helm.

NBC11 has learned at least two spectators were injured while watching the Mavericks surf contest in Half Moon Bay.

-Skip

That one under the bridge is insane! Great find! That had to be a surfer at the helm.

hoooot!

shit - its the awards ceremony - JC comes up in a 10 gallon cowboy hat - He's slurring so bad I can hardly understand him - God I love that dude - He passed the mic over to The Cliff Bar rep who is announcing awards - immediately starts a filibuster of the "SANCTURY" - Farrallones rep steps up and we discover that things are changing. It's just getting going. SC guys are probably already on their way back up to the Brewery.

The contest promoters need to police tape off the cliff areas, especially under the cliff. Every year that is a major disaster waiting to happen. The worst are the spectators who stand 1/2 way up the cliff.

-Skip

wrt the cliffs, they are a hazard to people, but having soo many folks climbing all over them only hurts the local plants and critters and makes the cliffs more and more unstable. of course, i was on them last year... freakin hyprocrit i am. but my little boys loved it.

kaiser style hawaiian gals on the monster webcast right now. does anyone else think it's a little hot in my cube???

WTF is this Mavericks Surf Ventures? Dot com city.

-Skip

ice plant, erosion, no worries because clif bar is eco- friendly

``We are committed to lessening the impact of the thousands of spectators that will show up and maintaining the pristine beauty of Half Moon Bay,'' Keir Beadling, managing partner at Mavericks Surf Ventures, said in a statement.

if(1) fprintf(stdout,"I shred the gnar");

Blakestah spews all this play by play shit all damn day long and no winner.

Who the hell won the damn thing?

Winner - Grant Baker

who the heck is he? random South African guy? good on em!

Muchas Gracias. Your prize...

Oh my...Kind of a mix between J-Lo and Penelope Cruz

nj pit

holy shit. go fela!

I am seriously overpaid to sit here, listen to the Monster Pro and find beautiful pictures such as that below:

Those cacti are pretty excited

love that girl's athletic build. she can work-out on me anytime. sheesh!

Where do you work Kaiser? I'll send a note to your boss re: your fucking around and snake your job.

Phred, good luck with that!

sactomex, you forget "\n"

Grant Baker wins on the strength of his first ride, with the only 10s of the day. He got it on Greg Long's board...

love those gnar-core slabs bbr! sick!

Certain secret spot I stumbled upon today:

Don't think there's anything to identify it by. Let's just say it's on the left coast....

Who ever was talking about the cliff being a nightmare - check out this shot, two guys fell (not badly) when I was there - just trying to get down.

One guy nearly had a punch up. Tensions were running high. As I was leaving to go surf myself (before the finals) - the sirens were screaming more than once...

They will end up putting up some fence or something. otherwise once the first person falls and breaks their back and sues Mr Clark - it will be all over...

Shame but such is the price of mainstream success I guess...

On the plus side it was a truly stunning day...blue skies and emerald green waters...

nice seeing small children under some of the most landslide prone areas on earth. great to see some folks on top ready to drop. on the cove side the other day I saw a big chunk of rock and pompus grass on the beach with a nice slip and slide trail running down the cliff.

personally, I'm 120% confident surfing mavericks (the left) and think these people are nutty. I'd be watching from the ocean to the shore to see who breaks there neck while falling onto a 3 year old from 100 ft.

-Rob

sun**t Cl***s was good today.

i hate you sd rider! oooooh! sun**t Cl***s!

video highlights of the Mav's contest during the morning:

http://www.ktvu.com/video/6814966/detail.html

blakestah, I don't worry myself with such trifles

seriously, i think that was the most crowded beach i've ever been on. snaked a decent perch on the cliff mid-morning. witnessed some incredible drops, beatings, and gnar charging. A few sets of awe striking un-catchables rumbled thru. burned one with random acquitances. loved the four man party wave with the furthest back dude, get the barrell and ride(s) of the day IMHO. One charger hit the trough so hard you could feel/hear it, honest. $150 bleachers on the bluffs is the word for next year. not really, just stoned silly still.

ah, the cliffs at b***ks pelting people with sandstone bombs. saw a microwave-size bomb fall once and then one dp saw a refrigerator size block sitting in the sand. i believe one killed someone in Del Mar once.

erosion is good by the beach - it replenishes the sand. all the rip-rap, seawalls, jetties etc, fuck up the coast and deprive the points and beaches of sand.

"pompus grass" from a pompous ass.

I remember a yr or 2 ago a guy was surfing in Encinitas and his wife was hit by a landslide on the beach and died. Who would let their girl sit right under unstable ciffs and feel good about paddling out??

That diseased chick looks sweet.

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT BASIN WILL KEEP LIGHT OFFSHORE WINDS

THROUGH FRIDAY. WEST SWELL CONTINUES INTO TONIGHT WITH WAVE

PERIODS GRADUALLY DROPPING TO 14 SECONDS BUT SWELL HEIGHTS

REMAINING ABOVE 10 FEET. THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN ON FRIDAY

AS A FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST.

.SAT...NW WINDS 20 TO 30 KT. WIND WAVES 2 TO 7 FT.

holy machado!

totally uncalled for, that photo.

Re: HaveChicks contest today

Spent the first 2 hours on the cliff with NBC trying to ask us what surfing was about. They really don't do any prep for these things.

HOWEVER, then around 10:45 I hopped on a boat I dropped $125 per seat for me and my girl to go sit in the channel on. Let me tell you, that was the best $250 I've spent in a while. Great way to actually see what's up. The boats were all jockeying for position and snaking all over. There were a few guys on boards hanging out but a ton of PWC.

To the guy who asked, why 7 guys and not 6. During the last semi, there was a 15 min break. Those either eliminated or others who wanted to ride, then spent that 15 min hitting it. There was actually one of the better sets during that time.

What struck me was the reality of surfing where 3 guys take off on the same wave not a minute after the contest goes on pause.

no other beef with jeff, my unidentified neighbor, just real experience with the guy, towing where he shouldn't be, and using the contest as an excuse to do it ("we gotta get our timing down..." and so forth).

i long ago forgave him for his drunken oogling of my wife, etc. ;P

THERE IS A NEW SHAPING MACHINE, BLANKS AND CUTTING SERVICE COMING TO NOR-CAL.
JUST FOR LOCAL SHAPERS, LOCALS IN NOR-CAL AND FRIENDS. BIG LABELS OUT. WE RATHER FEED THE POR THAN KEEP MAKING THE RICH PEOPLE RICHER.
I WON'T SAY WHERE YET. BUT IS COMING AROUND JUNE- SEPTEMBER. PRICES ARE GOING TO BE VERY AFFORDABLE $60UP AND SERVICE PRICE WILL BE $20UP PER CUT.
I'LL KEEP YOU APDATED.

and he never picks the right day for the contest! if he claims that wave so hard he should at least be able pick the best day! it was almost great today, but there has been better days this year. remember the contest last year? worst photos ive seen of mav's are from that day.

THIS IS TOTAL RAPE

RAPE OF KINGS

RAPE OF CALIFORNIA

A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter was forced to land at Crissy Field in San Francisco on Tuesday when it ran low on fuel following a successful rescue mission a few miles away.

The helicopter had just plucked a surfer out of dangerous surf below the Cliff House at about 5 p.m. when it made the unscheduled stop, Coast Guard Lieutenant John Fu said.

The helicopter, which is based out of the San Francisco Airport, was returning from another rescue mission from Carmel when it was summoned to help the surfer.

"The command had to make a decision whether to land and refuel," Fu said. "They decided that speed was of the essence and continued on with the (San Francisco) rescue."'

The San Francisco police and fire departments cleared the area around Crissy Field. The helicopter, with the surfer on board, landed without incident and waited hours for a fueling truck before it took off again at about 9:30 p.m., the Coast Guard said.

Fu said a good Samaritan called 911 to report that the surfer was in trouble. The Coast Guard initially dispatched a motor surf boat to the scene, but it couldn't reach the surfer because the waters where he became stranded was too shallow.

Fu said the surfer didn't have any noticeable injuries when he was turned over to paramedics at Crissy Field.

So fucking what.

if in doubt...don,t go out
