E's Surf Report

boo.

2nd

went to a sunny little cove on sunday with the family for a non-surf beach outing... watched nice size waves close out most of the beach, but now and again a set would break off the northern point. a few guys were lined up on that peak, riding pretty nice drops and lines. then a big hump rolls through, guy drops in backside, flies down the line barely keeping up, then nonchalantly slides up the face and tucks into the sickest grinding wrapping barrel i've seen in a long time. guy was leaning back into the wave like it was nothing... hoots galore from the beach!!! hope your weekend was as productive...

4th

Judahpeak short format double question of the day:

1) What cell phone do you have?
2) Who is your carrier (Cingular, Verizon, Tmobile, Boost, etc.)?

Thanks.

me = Nokia 3120, Cingular GSM.

Air guitar, made real

Kenneth Cole - Sprint

LOL. nice one max

Best rated cell service - Verizon. Motorola make good phones.

Fun surf this weekend.

In an effort to relax the tension between Republicans and Democrats as the scandals and war protests have escalated tempers, Dick Cheney invited the Clintons on a duck hunting expedition in Arkansas next week.

Kenneth Cole = you shop at Banana Republic

Can you hear me now?

Loaded for Bear?

Sony Ericsson - Cingular
Went to Brazil last year so I wanted a phone with an unlocked, removable SIM card. This one had it. Popped it out upon arrival in land of hot women and small warm water waves, paid about $20 for a new, pre-paid SIM card, and bam, I'm a local with my own digits.

Damn, I guess Dick Cheney did shoot a load into a hunting partner.

I also saw some heavyweight surfing yesterday south of town. Guys making huge air drops, pulling into huge barrels, skirting whitewater and pulling into more huge barrels. Great to witness firsthand.

Waves had some juice. Caught some really fast, powerful beasts and took 3 behemoth-wave beatings, too. When I went to sleep, I could still feel the sensation of the ocean dragging me deep.

Anyone care to share some breath-holding techniques?

"Sunday morning smoothie, bagel, NYTimes, blanket, girlfriend." Nice..

There was a day long ago when someone started talking about their kids and surf-related family outings. It was very interesting to check and provided lots of positive Mojo from the dads out there. As a father it is always interesting to hear about other dad's experiences trying to get their kids into the water.

E's Sunday thoughts kind of sparked a memory of something great I read that seems appropriate on the eve of Valentines day.

"The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother"

Remeber, the more you love her the more you will get to surf..

Hey, Amigoism, how far south did you go? A friend of mine went down to Carmel to play some golf, and said Ghost Trees was hitting 20 feet on the face. Sounds pretty questionable to me.

"hey, killing stuff helps me relax,
so I got a little carried away.."

I've been attempting to call Alex Martins to drop off a damaged surfboard but he hasn't been available.. anyone know the deal? anyone know another high-quality ding fixer.. my fin-box is also fucked up and needs fixin.

thanks!

Uhmmm....Mavericks has broken like an awful lot in the last few weeks. Plus he had to go to some big event down there and has been pretty tied up. Try him this week.

amigoism,
this isn't exactly a breath-holding technique but when out on big days or at places with long hold-downs i will employ this strategy to calm the nerves.

while being held down long i just count to myself 1-one-thousand, 2-one-thousand, 3, etc.

it gives me perspective of how long i am 'really' being held down and it calms me b/c it is usually not all that long.

e, good to see you and bird this weekend! been awhile for me on here. i would NOT bring your board to the log shop. had a board 'repaired' there, not good. they didn't tint match after saying they would, never called to ask if that's ok, etc. etc. etc. claim was they had to use Q-cells as there was some delam where the fin box broke, and apparently Q-cells don't take color well, but i find that typically you would call a customer ahead of time and get their sign off if you're doing something that wasn't originally agreed to (i.e. non-color matching). in addition to the color being non-existant the fix is kind of wavy, not smooth at all. what the F?? oh, and i still had to pay full price for the fix, even after speaking with the owner for an hour. good times, will never purchase anything from them again. big time disapointment, as i'd only surfed that board a day before it's injury, and especially as it was my first new board in years and will likely be my last board for awhile, until the whole foam debacle is figured out and prices come back out of the clouds.

Stoked about the Half Pipe Silver

anybody see that finnish skier Kari Traa? holy crap, she is HOT!!!

e - fix it yourself...or, walk down to the house, or call his Brazzo roomie and ask him wassup.

amigo-ism, I used to remind myself that I can virtually always count to 10 and the thrashing will be gone....just relax and count to ten, start making for the surface when the thrashing gets mild, and PROTECT YOUR HEAD WITH YOUR ARMS...

someday I'm going to make it to 20 and the thrashing will still be going on, but so far the best ever has been 12...and holding your breath for 12 seconds is just not that hard.

whatever, just don't do what moriarity did and practice free-diving alone with hyperventilation aided dives. Hyperventilation is NOT a good way to hold your breath longer underwater without passing out.

also g-money does very good ding repair
g AT scsurfers.com

thanks dude. i stopped at their house saturday but nobody was around.

I'm lost without my everyday board. been having to surf the ol' water-logged brown turd. thing ways about 30 pounds!

I didn't go into or past SC, so I don't know how large the swell was further south. However, I saw some places that were getting the swell direct on. The bigger sets were pretty darn big. I'd say "house size."

We'll be home tonight. Call or stop by anytime and we'll have it back to you by breakfast!

Shaun White, 19 years old, wins men's olympic halfpipe. Jesus, this kid's insane. Kelly Slater of snowboarding, the best. Definately check out Shaun White, the White Album, the kid is f--king mental. Does huge tricks in a skate halfpipe with Tony Hawk (he's a pro skater too); the snowboard footage is unreal. Awesome film.

e,
perhps we could have a ding repair party? get it to kaiser, he lives down the street from me. i can fix it. and this time i promise i won't move my family during the repair process.

Bode Miller went down.

perhaps you'd like to blow him?

Shaun White was the kid who at age 6 or 7 was doing the double halfpipe (2 riders in pipe thing) with Burnquist? And they collided and he got worked, broke up pretty bad I think but anyway....they been watching him in the snow and skate since like age 4-5 as a prodigy and now he lives across from Huntington Beach and is a daily surfer.

Funny how guy's like Craig Kelly and Terje Haakonsen flipped out over surfing and only snowboarded to fund surf trips once they got hooked.

how about we have a batman party?

perhaps i'd like to blow you, brokebacker

e, i can relate. my board took a back flip off the new surf rack i built and the tail of my board got trashed. i haven't been able to get ahold of alex and don't want to take my board out of town. not good.

ride em cowboys

no its not that funny actually. its understood.

white finished his run with a sick lip gash (surf move all the way). did anyone notice that?

you're so right anon I'm totally hot.

e- sick Jersey pics.. steel cajones to go out in that frigid stuff. Here's an idea. Cut a half pipe in the jersey beach sand before one of those killer storms blows through. Then do a little surf and ride expression session sponsored by your favorite atlantic coast brewery. party on!!

Some more frosty ones

white "throwing spray" and cranking a "bottom turn"

No way! The only thing I cared about when I first started snowboarding was this hat I had with a little tail that came out of the back. When I aired, as long as the tail flipped up in the back it was legit. It was a good air. Seriously, I didn’t care about anything, all I wanted to do was hit jumps and get ruined. If I could go big and get rocked it was the best. I think the strangest thing for me so far is being put in a video game. I was 12 or 13, and it was the coolest thing. I was so stoked. I had always wanted to be in a video game, but there is no way I expected any of this.

went snowboarding for the first time in 5 years this weekend. i'm in some serious pain.

beach > mountains

hold down techniques - a wise and cool big wave guy once told me to open my eyes in heavy hold downs and just look around, especially up, once the spin cycle stops. i find it very calming, the surface is usually not as far away as it seems and its generally pretty chill down there.

white surfs too. never seen him, but i have a strong feeling he rips.

ghost trees actually breaks with about 12ft of swell an above. here are some pics of it from the day of the mav competition (I think it was the same day)

http://www.pbase.com/montereymiles/tow-in

Also on the day of the mavs comp. i saw some of the best and longest tow-in rides i have ever seen at the way way outside bar at Asilomar. waves looked to be about 3-4 times overhead. 2 tow teams just kept going deeper and deeper as i sat and watched for 2 hours. way longer rides then i have ever seen at mavs, jaws, or ghost trees. so awesome.

somebody has some serious man-love for Shaun White.

that Kari chick is so friggin HOT!! but, she is Norwegian. chicks from up there in the Nordic region like to hump. cold winters = skiing, drinking, and sex. Yes!

tow surfing is just another in the list of played out overexposed, overhyped activities

Forgot it was Black History Month...

I went snowboarding this weekend too. Dude, i'm in so much pain too. My whole body is feeling sore right now. It's a good kinda pain though. Snowboarding is so much more fun than surfing.

e.......there's a guy in HMB named Tom (726-5409)...quality repairs and knows his fin boxes. He's reasonable and quick. He'll meet you in Pacifica if you want. I know a lot of guys who have used him and return again and again. Good luck.

After surfing OB for 5 yrs, I broke my first board on Sat. It must have gotten worked on a wipeout cuz it actually broke in half as I was duckdiving.

Anyone think they have the record for boardbreakage at OB? How many broke during how long of a period?

Fixed some deep gashes through the fin box for me a couple of years ago. Did an awesome job.

Nice ones Kaiser

Saturday was pretty fun once I found a good peak. But just about every set wave was a double-up, with a smaller leading wave and a bigger one a second or two behind it. Does anyone know if that's something to do with the swell itself, or is it more likely to be one wave getting divided by "lensing"?

thanks for the ding repair info. I'd love to stay in the city if possible.

peace out.

people are getting barrelled right now.

Nokia 6560 (old and near death), Cingular (better chance of signal at the remote beaches)

I'm leaving work now...

major doubling up all weekend near the inside. i think (and i think i read it here) that double ups are caused when waves almost break on the outer bars but not quite. for some reason this causes double ups further inside and was definitely happening out there this weekend. i kicked out at the end of one ride on the inside and got creamed by the 2nd half of the double up right behind it. first time that's happened to me.

A wise man once wrote:

The difference between a vaccuum cleaner and a jetski, is the position of the dirtbag.

Not my opinion but I thought it was funny.

the best is when they are just far enough apart that you can fly over the shoulder of the first wave and up into the pocket of the second wave and keep on going.

Or fly off the bottom of the second and drop into the first and keep going

Yo E why you bellyaching publicly about Alex and then looking to fire him?
Guy was busy this week and you are calling him out on his customer service?
Lame. You talk too much.

double-up frustrations on sat as well. didn't have that problem on friday though and I surfed the same tide. it was bigger/longer period on sat. i feel like maybe it didn't happen on the very first wave of the set though - although this could of just been my imagination.

true. I should just shut-up and deal.

sactomex comes through with a ripe onion. i love the angle of her back.

buckle under much?

Every once in a while if you got in the right spot those double-ups did throw some nice tooobs. Just not very often, lots of sweet closeouts.

yah, what caused that double-up on saturday. some waves with great potential were getting ruined with the double- and sometimes triple-ups.

Who you should be looking for is your buddy Cheney. He has seemed tough to find since Sat.

double ups? new messier local swell overtaking old one and merging on already poor sandbars on Sat.

Double Ups? Kaisers posting twins today?

no.
this was a distinct, well-defined phenomenon occuring on set waves only.

try not to be so negative

Its kinda funny how you guys are all into "ripping". I frequently see guys killing a wave, but also do not look very graceful. Besides ripping sounds like that movie north shore.

Not that I surf gracefully, but I try.

Kinda getting tired of all the anonymous hotties being posted lately. Need something a little more local and real.

Natalie Keen, grew up here and lives in the East Bay, half Filipino and half white, fake boobs, but still pretty damn hot.

I met her through a friend a long time ago. We all used to go to the 2nd Sunday party in SF:

I thought Saturday OB was pretty fun actually. Found myself racing home from an out of town birthday party, trying to beat the onshore wind. Didn't make it in time. Ocean was pretty disorganized looking by the time I got out ~ around 4:00pm or so. Not too many people out, and it looked really sloppy from the beach - double ups everywhere, lots of foam on the water. But once I got out, there were some really fun bowls popping up out of the morass. Scored some good ones right away - then spent the next hour waiting for another "good" one. Never got another as fun as the first, but still some decent little shoulders before kicking out over the closeout section. On my way in, I got worked by the double up.

Yeah, she's pretty hot

that chick has a WIDE butt. guarantee she's done nude shots. a quick google should find them.

hey, anon, did you ever get on her after the sunday party? looks like fun.

nothing worse than getting worked when you are just trying to prone in.

On the ding repair front, I took my board to the bigger shop in half moon bay last summer. I told them I needed the board in two weeks for a contest, could they get it done? They said no problem. I got the board back 5 weeks later. Not cool. They did not seem to care at all. So last week when I buckled a board, I took it to Chris at Haut. We’ll see. I have heard good things about him.

Hey mofo, how about graceful and ripping?. A Tom Curren cutback- gracefully ripping.

Sacto - I had a class til 2:30 on Sat. Got in the water by 3:00. First ride was a right screamer--failrly smooth face. By the time I paddled out again, it was getting bumpy. Got pitched off the bottom of the wave actually, on my second ride. Third wave was a big bumpy and frumpy closeout that I made the drop and first section then straightened out to the beach. By 4PM it was a mess. S

I got in at about three too, Caught a couple of OK waves then left after drifting a good quarter mile and closing in on the Rock. I saw a lot of double ups in the AM but none in the afternoon.

Buckled a board a OB two weeks ago. Fixed by a local guy named Jeff Dechulles(sp.) lives in Marin, surfs the Fort alot. Guy did a fantastic job any North Bay repairs can be sent to him. He just had a kid so he can definately use the cash. He may be working with the new Proof Lab in Marin. I think he fixes their stuff- he used to do the boards when it was Marin Surf Sports. Anyways, the guy is $$ when it comes to repair.

Jeff does good work, and he color matches. He is in Tiboran (SP)

lotso chicks do porn these days. porn is the new cheerleading.

she's got the tramp stamp too.

jesus, mexi, you cant spell shark in mexi?

I like tattoos. My wife won't let me get one cuz I'd look like Yakuza. She lets me go surfing though.

what's the best place for a bachelor party?
Would prefer strip joints where you could touch the girls. Not looking for happy endings or anything like that. Simply a good party place for about 10 fellas. Ideas?

Doesn't have to be in SF. Can be anywhere in North America.

Go to Montreal. But, you didn't hear that from me.

the 2x was BRUTAL in the morning sat.
weird waves lurking behind another...

sunday was another animal entirely.
just flat out brutal. that taco town down
south gave me the beating i missed all week.
holy shit. i need some swim fins.

cheers niceness heads....gotta roll to the
midwest and attend a funeral. eulogy to deliver.

be well. enjoy what ya got. what ever it is.

Never learned to write Mexi but I spoke it before i spoke American.

went to one in rosarito. a little sketchy, but it was cheap and the chicks were actually super hot with no limits on hand placement. you could go further as well but i did not partake, unlike a few others in my group.

vegas is too expensive but if you're a baller it might be worth it.

Ive been to that one in Rosarito. I was pleasantly surprised by their liberal touching policy.

If you're going to Rosarito, then you're better off pickin' up chicks in the bars. They are in Rosarito for a reason - pretty much the same reason you are!

Victoria, on Vancouver Island... doesn't get much better than that.

sounds like you guy's might like a place called brokeback mountain

we wanted to go to Vancouver but heard that the strip joints sucked there. What's Victoria all about?

Get a large suite in a nice hotel in the City with the rooms on both sides and across the hall, hire four or five chicks off of Craigs list, pay them up front to go wide open all night, and have fun. That is a bachelor party.

This place is pretty good, the chicks will get all Revelations on your ass

Ths last strip joint I went to was that town inland from pascuales. Tecoman? You could do whatever you wanted. The girls were totally out of control. It was fun.

Puerto Vallarta-great place for a bachelor party

We are having my friends b-party in SF. He can golf, I can surf and we meet up at night and smoke cigars.

I had my bachelor party in Reno.
Hired a limo to take us to the strip club.
My buddies got me up on stage.
A couple of strippers sat me on a chair and tied me to a poll.
They danced all over me.
It totally sucked.
The back of my head kept hitting the poll and one chick stuck the point of her high heel in my crotch.
The lap dances at our table were fun, but no happy endings for me (as I was not into betraying my fiance)
A couple of my buds disappeared into the private rooms, but were pretty tight lipped about their experience
Spent most of the night losing money and getting hammered at the craps table.
Ah yeah, bachelor parties are so much fun!!!

went to a stripjoint for my bachelor party. right in downtown SF. it was rad. i got a happy ending, they let you touch everything. two of my friends got Lewinsky'd, and another guy smoked a joint on the roof with another stipper, got her number, and hooked up later. i shit you not.
i was honestly surprised at how hot the girls were, and they did NOT tell any of us we couldnt touch. it was a great night.

i dont remember the name of it, but it was one of those places that didnt serve alchohol so they could go totally nude. i want to go back!

F vegas, that place is expensive and they dont let you touch.

go to 'Taurus' in Zihuatanejo, they have a shower stall, and of course, if you have cash, you can get any kind of dance/ending that you want.

Lot's of lecherous strip club knowledge in here...
Hmmm, who am I associating with

The SF strip clubs usually offer prostitution. I don't know if Market St Cinema is still doing its thing, last I heard, they aren't, but you could take whatever wandering "stripper" to the back of the place, and bang her. That place was SO ghetto though, and seeing all the questionable dudes loitering around in there was a major turn off, it looked like there were homeless dudes in there getting their groove on. And the girls were just nasty.

I went to New Century a year ago, and it was early evening, not busy, and this tall black stripper was trying to proposition me. She was asking for $800. Hahahah what a stupid bitch. I told her for that kinda money, she better let me video tape it.

that last post was E.

Speaking of that tramp stamp, big stripper/slut tatoos on the lower back, I saw the funniest thing this weekend at the 24 Hr Fitness off of Bryant. There was this short dude, in his 30's, with a flabby behind that was walking butt naked in front of me to the showers. The guy had a big stripper tatoo above his ass on the lower back. It was so hilarious!

some look addicted to food. it's easy to diagnose but often, ignored. similar to nicotine and alcohol addictions/dependencies

whoa.. gnarly!

gross dude.

days are getting noticeably longer. . .
tides look good for the long weekend . . .

and damnit, weather supposed to change to rain on Friday! long term modelers predict spring coming!

it seems like a long time until next november.

does anyone fly-fish around here?

paddeling out in those icy, east coast thumpers is one thing but paddeling into, and catching a pipeline wave with a girl on your board! you won't be seeing me do that anytime soon.

boy, what a touch of REALITY those craigslist girls are, after getting so accustomed to all the slick special lighting reef models you porn masters usually splurt all over this board.

I think the E's pervs/ rb bros need to have a MBOT party in the near future

I had my Bachelor party in Santa Cruz. Started our night at the Avenue on Pacific and just started putting out the party vibe to all the chicks we met. My buddy brought half a sheet of acid, and by the time we got the Blue, we had like 6 hotties with us all into trippin. We dropped hits on the dance floor, and ended up back my buddy's house a little after everyone was peaking. Dude, shit got crazy, straight up orgy in my buddy's living room. Smoking fat bowls of ganj, and getting full on crazy!!

It was so gnaaaarrrrrr!!!

ASI. Matt Ambrose's Machine sucks.
Is only a 2D file.
This machine is not even a real CNC mahcine.
Now he thinks he's some kind of god.
Remember your boys and where you started from man!

Did you really think Matt Ambrose was going to be catupulted to the top of the shaping food chain? He might make a buck or three but rusty and Al he'll never get close too.

Nor lost or M10, if you wanna compare him against guy's his age. He surfs alright but nothing special. Better than most at Mav's but Brock Little can come over after having not surfed in months and having not ridden Mav's since the last contest and beat him. And Brock really even about surfing any longer? He just comes 'cause he and Clark are bro's and he feels a special relationship with the spot since his first session there.

Trust it:

Searoom, saw your late post over the weekend today. Hmm, the two dudes I knew that shaped outta their garages (one a local MB'er that shaped for Becker/ET etc) have been really slowed down by the whole Clark thing and are wondering what step to take next, if any. I'll ask around though for you. What type o' board you looking for a beginner?

E, fucking great write-ups the last two weeks or so! Damn.

Gregory in Santa Barbara next week!! Go listen!!

After reading the two comments about Ambrose,is time to tell something I know.
There is a Shaping machine and blanks coming this sep-oct to NorCal.
The service will be available to everyone. Not just huge accounts like Ambrose is doing.
The owner of this machine will not keep on feeding the rich guys.
This machine will be for the people.
They're going to take people making from 1 boars a month or twice a year to 5,10,15,10+ a month.
There is no minumum required and they will never say NO WE ARE MAX OUT!.
They will find another way to keep suppliying everyone. This are two machine and 1000+ blanks.
So they will have stock blanks for everybody.
You can also do your glassing with the.
That will be another service provided by them.
They have shaping, airbruushing, glassing rooms for evryone also.
So if you know what you're doing, you can pay by hour fro the rooms and make your own board after is shaped by the machine or you might shape it your self.
Seminars will be available also.
I'll keep you guys posted with the name.
I can't say it yet, But soon my sons soon.

who the fuck cares?

Who ever said this, probably don't surf or is just another kook posting bad comments.

Matt Ambrose is a good guy and a great surfer on waves of any type.

His shaping machine is considered the cream of the crop for surfboards, the ASP3000. Its software is the most fully developed, its board clamp is the most fully developed, and he has blanks. The software and machine are good enough that any experienced surfer can draft a machine with the program, have it cut, finish the shape manually, and get Stretch to glass it, and have your own custom surfboard. And it will turn out quite reasonably a LOT faster than if you start shaping manually.

Matt was a contractor by profession. He changed professions with the purchase of the machine. He works hard and does good work, and I am sure that anyone who works with him will find this out. He has the best technology currently, and will cut blanks out of anything for anyone for his prices.

I doubt he has aspirations to chase Rusty or Al Merrick or Lost. He is filling a market niche in NorCal with the best job possible.

And if you don't like that there are a half-dozen machines in Santa Cruz you could take your work to.

i surf, and i dont really care about Matt Ambrose. quite generalizing.
'hella' sorry to burst your bubble.

quite = quit

Hey Blakestah.
Why don't you try to get some boards right now from Matt.
Let's see if he cuts any for you.
Do that and then bitch about it.
You know nothing about his business.

Point Blunt Surf Report:
Probably better with a shitload of west wind as opposed to ocean swell, unless maybe straight west.
