E's Surf Report

first! and that dude is large and in charge.

Yikes, who would have thought it possible? The guy in the top picture must way 300 lbs...
Workin in the ER in the south, I see tons of people that size and above- the usually have trouble even getting off the stretcher by themselves...
Our record was a 700 lb (really!) patient the other day. He had to be carried in on a canvas and would not fit onto a stretcher. Needless to say, he couldn't even sit up by himself.
We also often have patients that have to be hoisted out of their apartments by crane, because it's physically impossible to carry them down the stairs.
Nice to see that the guy in the top pic carries his weight well.

Irish Tow-in

Those 2 phat photos show that with a good wave and some experience, surfing is not necessarily an athletic activity.
The good sessions usually feel effortless...

Palisades Homeboy, Tahiti Transplant
Hula plain rips!
Go surf with him on his charter boat http://www.vaimititours.com/

I think Jim P. proves that if you got it and use it, you'll never lose it. But first you've got to get it.

Rad video. I got scared looking over the cliff.

e, your hardcore..

that video is also..as are the boogies in that video..

dmc
thanks for the link
unreal cliff footage of the irish tow in crew.
lots of paddle surfers in the lineup too
right on

e
sounds like you are living the dream

e, i'm jealous seems like you've been scoring all week whilst I've been city, no surf guy. Turns out running and yoga just aren't quite as fun.

thanks dudes. The waves are out there i guess.. just gotta poke your head around a few corners..

... and drive a bit.

driving.

chocolate water junk where I went in this morning e, i should have stalked you.

question for today ????
In your opinion who is more hardcore?
A. surfer who lives at the coast and surfs near home at the same spot all the time. (local)
B. surfer who has to drive 2 or more hours just to get to the breaking waves and surfs dozens of different spots each year.(traveler)

He's going to charge it!

first attempt

if thats a painting it's the best painting ever...nice ptosh

second try

third try

ptosh's spot

bagel,
thats a spot I drove 3 hours to "check" last weekend.I shot those with my trusty digital camera before the long hike down the hills/cliff
I wish I could paint that image.

so you couldn't take a shot two minutes later while someone rode a set?

thanks whoever helped post my image

You surf a lot, e. You've got a lot of dedication. I wouldn't even think about waking up that early for a 50/50 shot at decent surf.

timing is good
uncrowded is better
I wanted to surf not shot photos after a 3 hour+ drive
the 2 guys out got worked on the set wave anyway
see second and third photos

E IS the "New California." Moves here from eastcoastwhereverville - claims, calls it his own and then exploits our inheritence; our once beautiful, unpopulated, unexposed pristine California. Like a modern day surfing Jesus.
More photos of the coast please; Big Sur, OB, Dead's, Palo Marin; serve it up to the internet massess - grab new gear at Aqua, Wise or Mollusk then send E a private email request and he'll tell you excatly where he guided his manamobile...
What a farce and I wouldn't give a shit if you weren't putting all this info out there to your dutiful tranny followers...
SELLOUT.
Needles=anus.

tanks mon

don't believe the hype...

happy friday, the day to be fried.

If you are going to keep surfing and keep improving, and keep enjoying you really need to surf your local spot (OB which is pretty challenging) and travel to other spots.

However, to drive 3 hours, crash at a friends house, wake up super early to surf, then drive 3 hours back and go to work is pretty damn hard core.

I love surfing before work b/c it makes my day worthwhile and I feel like I am balancing lifes responsibilities with enjoying and appreciating what is available to us.

Bechtel grow up man
get a grip
reality sucks brah

Artifact - for a guy that's so laid back, you sure do some crazy shit. I appreciate the videos from yesterday.

Bechtel = anon pussy

"our inheritance"- yah, like this blog really crowds the local lineups, idiot. seen surfline or wavewatch or surfpulse before? dumbshit.

you dont shop at Aqua or Wise = you get discounts at "core" shops in Santa Cruz and therefore are far more "core" than OB locals. phag.

time for the HIGH noon spliff ahhhhhhhh

word.

who cares if you are eastcoast or westcoast?
i share my spliff with both sides

puff puff give.

what the f**k Betchell
you named more than e ever has

E, thanks for the jam last night - your story about your adventures this morning was, as we say in the West O, hella inspiring. Keep it up man.

Dave Chappelle movie out this weekend - woohoo!

I found a pic of Bechtel from a previous post:

isn't there a spot in SC named Betchell ?

wow what is his phone number
Betchell is so cute

E, do you drink coffee on these eary dp's? i couldnt do it without at least one cup.

Bechtel - Please stop naming and start surfing. You'll be happier.

Once you get photobucket, how or where do you put the link to post your pics........help!

Or just do us all a favor and throw away your evil computer box.

And Getchels is the spot in SC you're thinking about, curious.

Bechtel is Bob Carrillo. He moved to the Bay Area when he was 25 years old.

Yet it is "his" inheritance....good troll, though.

Right on Dennis, recently all I've seemed to do is crazy work, pretty brutal pattern. 2 snow days and a handful of surf days, ouch! Props to those who motivate on a daily basis. Vacation days building... light at the end of the cubicle

SB represent

I drive 45-60 minutes each way to surf, but I have a choice of Moss through OB, choosing the best based on swell, tide and weather.

While I greatly enjoy getting to surf such a variety of breaks and usually get close to the best of whatever is available or what I feel like, I get envious of those who walk or ride their bikes to the same spot every day.

I surf over 100 days a year, is it ever enough? Not when I hear the local talking about over 200 days a year. But I am where I am for many reasons besides surfing and I make the most of it.

Yesterday afternoon, I surfed SC, this morning I surfed SF. SC spot was a fun head high laid back longboard sesh, a little bumpy but no wind, 2 guys out. SF was shortboard, air drop, bashing head to 1.5X with 6-10 guys out.

In the end, I enjoy the diversity and treasure it.

Niceness crew is ON IT!

Preacherman, don't tell me,
Heaven is under the earth.
I know you don't know
What life is really worth.
It's not all that glitters is gold;
'Alf the story has never been told:
So now you see the light, eh!
Stand up for your rights. Come on!

Most people think,
Great God will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights. Jah!

We sick an' tired of-a your ism-skism game -
Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in-a Jesus' name, Lord.
We know when we understand:
Almighty God is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can't fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (What you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights!

So you better:
Get up, stand up! (In the morning! Git it up!)
Stand up for your rights! (Stand up for our rights!)
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight! (Don't give it up, don't give it up!)

Sara, AKA "Shredder". seen here after breaking the nose of 3 berekley boogie boarder kooks with one swift headbutt.

get off the Marley. it's some horrible unwritten law that every surf shop/camp/dump on the planet plays Legend all goddamn day. git offff it...

Gee - without the computer I'd be at a loss to find my surfing identity.
That's ok I mainly surf surfline from my desk - one hand on my dick the other holds my spliff!
Get your dick outta the ass of California. You know who you are.

Did you get pelted with hail this am G? This is the slowest start I've had in years. 10 sessions since Jan 1, and I can walk to the beach. The blame: all mine--Partly lack of motivation, partly work, partly school, partly outta control conditions. Time for a change. I fell better with at least 3 surfs per week.

But it feels so good!

right on Dean! that was a sick jam last night!
we're progressing.

Thanks for the venom Bechtel. Thanks for the hatred. You're the best. I suck!

Dennis, I looked your direction as I drove by...rained most of the drive up but not during the sesh, only during the post-sesh change when I actually wanted to be dry and warm.

West winds to begin with and cloudy, but the winds backed off, the sun came out eventually around 9 and then a little squall blew in around 10 to rain on my change. I'm on 27 seshs this year, been good in SC.

Go back to the Val g-money!

Anyone get lasik eye surgery? How long can I expect to be out of the water? I am thinking I should do it in the spring and watch the winds tear up the surf whilee i am jonesin' to surf.

27 sesh's? What, do you scrawl a little "S" in your calendar and count them up?

Sheeet. I live by the beach, and have no idea how many sesh's its been this year. ASL beotch!!

Bectel, if you think you have certain rights based on where you were born you should take up golf (the old golf, not the new golf). Snooty country clubs actively encourage discrimintation based on where people are from and have ways to keep them out. Then you wont have to cry on the internet all the time!

Got everyone pretty riled up - wow. Good job Bechtel.

Let's all just chill out, the surf is blown out anyway, let's listen to some slow KMEL jams..

ha!

hb-i had lasik a few years ago. out of the water 7 days. in & out procedure, painless, easy. just make sure your eyes have stopped changing, otherwise you'll be thinking about doing it again in a few years. but well worth it even so (and some docs will do it again for free if your eyes worsen)

Oh, brother, KMEL jams? Let's hit the blown out surf instead.

Ha!

I'll just chill in the parking lot, listening to meditative yoga music, and watch the blown out surf as I hot-box kind buddha

cmon J

Everyone mellow out, lets listen to some SUFFOCATION!!

geez sactomex, yoga music? core-no-more.

I smoke two joints in the morning.
I smoke two joints at night.
I smoke two joints in the afternoon.
It makes me feel allright.

I smoke two joints in times of peace.
And two in times of war.
I smoke two joints before i smoke two joints.
And then i smoke two more.

Wohhoooh. Someone busted out the Human Waste album. Highly regarded as one of the true Suffo classics. It's one thing to pull out a death metal cover, it's another level to bust out a Suffo cover, it's on the Elite Level to slap on the Human Waste cover.

Welcome to my church, Perry?

YES, SUFFO!!!

i like the whole death metal direction...

dude, was I core before?
I'm joking anyway, or perhaps that was lost on y'all

I thought everything here was a joke.

420 yet?

currently listening to Suffocation, "Breeding the Spawn."

Whoa! heavy.

how does he do that with his voice?
the drummer is pretty fast and tight.
They don't leave a lot of space in the music though they have some cool breakdowns.

I'm breathin' pretty easy with Suffocation.

the suicidal Tendencies song, "Institutionalized" is rad.

welcome to 20 years ago

Hate to break it to you E, but "Breeding the Spawn" is probably the worst Suffo album, at least in terms of Production value. They re-did that song on "Pierced From Within" (which probably has the BEST production of all their albums), and it sounds SO MUCH better. That's an amazing album, too, as is "Effigy of the Forgotten". Was very much looking forward to their comeback album "Souls to Deny", released in 2004, but I was VERY dissapointed, as were most Suffo fans.

sucks.. rhapsody only has Souls to Deny and Breeding the Dawn.. figures.. worst two albums!!

listening to Nels Cline "Destroy All Nels Cline" right now. Pretty sick!

"Repo Man"

shit, i meant "breeding the spawn"

Anyone like Pantera? I used to get amped on I'm Broken and Mouth for War before we would hit the surf.

Well, you could of course go to www.suffocation.us, and they have some 1-2 minute mp3s from their earlier albums. You can also read up a bit about one of the great death metal bands in american history.

The title track to Effigy of the Forgotten is here: http://www.suffocation.us/MP3/Effigy Of The Forgotten.mp3. Now, how can you beat that fantastic, upbeat, cheery intro?

Today's Friday Afternoon Reading Club is not a surf story per se, but about someone searching for their spot in nature, and nature following her own course. A non-fiction piece, Blood Brothers by Doug Peacock looks at Timothy Treadwell's relationship with (to?) some Alaskan grizzlies.

SUFFO has bacne. Thats back-acne.

If you haven't seen Grizzly Man you should. It's like a 2 hour documentary on what its like to be completely insane. Scenery is good too.

All I wanted was a Pepsi. But she wouldn't give it to me. Just a Pepsi.

damn suffocation is tight. if you like these guys you might like cannibal corpse. particularly the album "the bleeding". stupid lyrics imho, but the music is unreal.

If you liked Grizzly Man, you'll love Grizzly Bear Man. Funny stuff:

I stand and fight with BVB for all that is right about surfing and it's precious limited resource..

Anyone, anywhere, anyplace, anytime.

My styles are better than yours..

I love Cannibal Corpse, but it's a very well known fact that "Tomb of the Mutilated" is their best album. One of the best albums in death metal history, period.

funny stuff, limev!

You're little mantra of "anyone, anywhere, anyplace, anytime" is so gay. Even if you're joking, it's crossed over into becoming very ghey. What are you, some WWF Supervillian or something? "I'm the best that is, the best that was, and the best that every will be!!" "Play time is over, bitch!!" "And that's the bottom line, because Jiu Jitsu Motto said so!!!"

i hate humor too

gimme sum o dat mo-jo jit-su.
it tases so fine

I stand with Niceness and Naming! Bring it on biatch!

I stand for standing!

yabba dabba doobie

Just anticipatory silence and occasional hand-blowing.
Heaters blasting.
Pull off the road and park.

Kinda "Brokeback" e, dont'cha think?

lol

lol!

i am putting the money on tomorrow morning. winds are dying, swell is becoming less disorganized. see ya nut heads out there early mornin'!!!!

AI was good yesterday

Andy Irons?

make it anytime, anywhere

AI was on fire! The ferry was late so we paddled raccoon strait.
Living the ASL!

cant wait to kick the methadone sesh's. Today just needed 20 degrees - aahh. Good current paddle. All the snow is going to set up something righteous soon.

Anyone surf the local point today?

nope
