E's Surf Report

First

i had so much fun out there today. no one around. meaty little peaks. blowing off steam from the outlaws visit and enjoying a responsibility free moment. got one of my best waves in a while (not saying much) and tried an air at the end. hate to brag, but it was HILARIOUS. must have looked quite amusing, if anyone saw. i need to accept that i will never be a ripper. nothing worse than a mediocre surfer trying tricks way above their level. HA!

ditto steamwand. fun morning session. no one out, smooth little warblers, occasional head-high drops - similar to last thursday morning, just a little smaller and not nearly as smooth..but still a nice little dose of niceness to start the week.

It did look nice this morning but hard to motivate. I chased a fun spot yesterday wich worked well but the driving took it out of me. So tough to surf mini windows all spring. I ended up at a skate park on Saturday for the first time in years. Prolly first time on a ramp in 10+ years. Soo fun, such a relaps to my childhood, but the possabilities of serious injury scared the crap out of me. skating is gnarly.

I learned my surfing from a magazine. Air. Meaty drops. Gliding. Sliding. Lips. Surfing rules! Keep Niceness cruisy.

Wasn't planning on it, but it looked nice on the Dogwalk.

A bit more serious at my local this morning. Definitely not a casual surf. Easy to get caught and hard to be in the right spot, but easily overhead thick pitching lips, if you do.
Saw some sucking death pits, that I guess the other guys out must have got.

As for me: Two clean but mediocre rides, one takeoff into a closeout. Caught inside by set twice.

Felt out of shape after taking nearly all the last month off.

On the way out, and the two times I got stuck inside, it felt like I had a Rock tied to my leash.

Still better than not going.

Winds have slowly switched to S-SW and increased steadily as of 9-9:30.

The Bar is Closed.

Did anybody notice these sweet clean waves mid-beach yesterday?

Excellent video from 1977 of the new skateboard craze.

Why I hate Poop Point.
Another altercation via the meatheads. Full-on poker table set up under the tree and the KCLB, FPG and AC are flexing, strutting, acting, vibing and intimidating all. A carnival gone bad. Another fight between a local and a yuppie. Fists fly and here come the cops. Real cool.

tell us more

Thank you kahuna for the great waves this morning. Way too much fun!!!!

So that's why my eyes have been so red.

Thanks for the visual Dennis.

Yeah, pretty blown by the time I got there, paddled around in the froth anyway, completely blown when I left, zero rides.

Back still killing me, working on getting it fixed up via various east and west methods. It is kinda wierd to see the ocean every day and know there is no chance. Friends call, and no... looks fun in the am, and no...impending swell and no...what to do with my incapacitated free time? surfing is fun, i miss it

Lewis article about Indo

z - get a trumpet, piano, guitar.

Nice photos, Dennis. I think there's some saltwater in that fecal overflow, somewhere.

Surfed "near and below the very very wealthy" Sunday, slightly windblown but only 2 guys out, so I had to go. Just 3 of us, a tar-covered telephone pole, plastic debris, some antifreeze, dead bloated rodents and several million "bacto-pals" making for "choco-chemo-septo-brine" (actually gives your board more float through the critical sections) --

Coliformia, Uber Alles...

skin flute

that water is eeekie. that skate video is fantastic. now i work for the rest of the day.

does lewis work for surfline or is he just a contract correspondent? he rips.

So is that really sewage? I saw that yesterday too and it was in one spot only, in the middle of the beach. Not sure where it would have come from considering it's locale at the beach..?

This place sucks. Yesterday I went for a ride on Mt. Tamalpais (whoops, was that naming?) and you wouldn't believe the crowds up there. Tranny kooks, all of them. A bunch of middle aged guys riding throw back 70's equipment so they could look all "soulful". Seriously, tricycles and Big Wheels just aren't functional. And I don't care how cool you think you look riding them.

I'm moving back to Long Island.

Good.

Speaking of Trannys, I was hanging out at Divas on Post Street this past Saturday night and the place was just packed with them.

Rain

some of you are such haters some days.....why not just let everyone have one wave.....otherwise, show me your deed...

big ass longboards rule!!!!!!!!!

Toad - I thought that was you. I was in the blue satin dress - straight orange hair with bangs.

If it wasn't obvious, I was just joking. Try to have a sense of humor. It would do all of us some good if you did.

I was under the impression that even the hateful flaming was meant to be humorous and joking. all part of the niceness dance. even all the bvb stuff, which may actually be closer to convulsion than dance, but hey, the wheel has many spokes......

While we're at it who waxed my windows the other day?

thats what I do best

purrrrrrrrrr

that kitten has his tongue buried so deep. he aint sleeping. some chicks love that.

broke cat mountin'

I'd definitely have my tongue buried so deep.....

that cat is actually a dead stuffed one.
it's the new Wicked Weasel Jungle-Boogie line of thong hooks

I thought the Dead-pussy was supposed to go on the front of the thong though.

Cat Flaps.

Wow that SF magazine article on OB sucked. Should have called it "brokeback surf shop". That writer longs for the fanciful, stereotypical ASL image that makes most real surfers cringe and was openly crushing on some dude who works at mollusk. Lame. The good point is I wouldn't worry about it causing more people to take up surfing, except maybe gay dudes . BVB gets a mention as a "somehwat comical" local regulator.

link?

is that a magazine you read on purpose?

An unconscious 30-year-old man was brought to the ER by ambulance. His girlfriend had found him lying naked on the floor of his bathroom and called 911. In the ER, he was found to have a large lump on the top of his head and, strangely, several scratches on his scrotum. The doctors figured the lump was possibly caused by a fall or a knock to the head. However the source of the scratches remained a mystery until he woke up and provided the doctors with the following explanation. He said he had been cleaning his bathtub while naked, kneeling on the floor beside the tub. His cat, apparently transfixed by the rhythmic swaying of his scrotum, lunged forward, sinking its claws into this pendulous target. This caused the man to rocket upward, striking his head on the top frame of the shower door.

nobody reads that stupid magazine, except for maybe 12 or 13 old gay guys, a few old ladies with no taste and some random medical patients in waiting rooms

possibly even the ball dangler....

Uh, ya I read that article on purpose. For some reason it comes to my house (it must be free, no way do we pay to subscribe to that pretentious crap!) and on right the cover it mentions an article called "Can Ocean Beach Save Surfing" or something like that. Seeing as how I surf at Ocean Beach 2-3x a week I couldn't resist reading the article. On purpose!

Sorry lookyloo I don't have a link and I wouldn't post it anyway the article sucked. You should be able to find many unread copies of the magazine in recycling bins around town though.

not buying that ball danglers' explanation, don't think there's anyway in hell the guy could take the claws, lunge forward and knock himself out then wake up KNOWING the CAT was "transfixed by the rhythmic swaying of his scrotum" could've been a wasp for all he had time to figure.

are you guys talking about 7x7 magazine? i want to read this article. i like reading anything about surfing, even and sometimes especially, dumb stuff.

I saw the fight yesterday.Yuppie should have just kept his mouth shut and kept surfing.Everyone gets dropped in on at that shitty wave.Poker is more fun.

No link to the article.

You get the magazine if you contribute to KQED (at least I think that's how I got it).
Some of the pics in there make OB look like SD with a nice south swell in the water mid-August. Props to the photog.
Even if only three people read the article - why exploit our collective limited resource to sell a couple more boardshorts.

although wasps do sometime leave marks, they don't scratch. try again.

more details on the fight?

The SF surfing scene always makes its way into some 2nd tier, people who got money, magazine.

Every articles the same.

Writer never expects there to be surfers in such a cold, non southern cal city, but wow there is!

SF surfers aren't like the typical surfer. They have .com jobs and some are Dr.'s and Lawyers! Holy shit, you mean not all surfers are busboys?!

Some surfers are gay too! Imagine fucking that!

SF surfers are cool. They have blogs and shit. They have nifty little surf boutiques. Fucking some even are art curators!

Writer then goes on to tell the reader how he took a surf lesson at linda mar or cowells and found the sport to be rough, but may pick it up someday because he "got the surfers feeling", or some such bullshit.

Fuck,
Skip

skip for president!

Oh yeah, and writer must always declare how trecherous (s-fucking-p) the ocean is here.

Fuck,
Skip

Skip, a few weeks back your we're dissing this site telling e to fucking go back and now your here posting again. Fuck you!

Fuck you too.
Love,
Skip

a man's strength and fortitude is truely measured when alone- not with the his fellow smelly cove local sissy buddys. none of you sissys even make eye contact with me because you know you'll suddenly be riding a single fin with a black eye

shoulda used dennis' pictures for the article.

Real born and bread local dont surf FP because it is simply a tourist spot for barney from LA or East coast. No one from here surf there. Maybe if you are from here you serf there once, but only because you like to surf every spot around your home turf.

Speaking of home turf, that show fucking ruled! Remember Barney was on that show.

Chan. Are you sure? Shut it Skip or write real prose.

prose before hos

Yes, Im sure. No real local surf fort point. It tourist place. Place for transvestive to surf when taking vacation here. One time OK if yer local. 2 time mean your a transvestive back again for vacation in city. If you into transvestive activity maybe OK. I hate when girl has dick all of sudden. Maybe you into this? You into this FP surfer?

Why you tell me to shut up? What the hell? Can we have some diversity here? Or must it be all circle jerk and talk about knee high linda mar kniceness juicy nectar barrels with tight asian shaved beavers in bikinis on boogie boards when it's 95 degrees out?

Just saying the articles about the half ass SF surf scene have been played out in the Palo Alto weekly 20,000 times already.

In other topical meatfart. Does anyone else get super irritated the first few weeks after quitting cronic smoking of weed? I could kill fucking everyone after 2 days off.

Please, no boring blog fights among people who would probably share a cup a coffee if they met face to face.

That cat snoozing on the girl's butt is really cool. Nice photo.

That's a young dude's butt. Sorry, but I happen to know.
Dude's butt.

Yo E.

Your blog sucks.

Most blogs suck.
this one doesn't.
keep it up E.
Just the right balance of niceness,
petty bickering, wave flics,
semi-porn, banality and hilarity

"stereotypical ASL image that makes most real surfers cringe"

Can someone tell me what the ASL is?

ASL.

I figured it out.

Just trying to be part of a group. Human nature.

Look at all the hip hop kids living the AHHL.

Authentic Hip Hop Lifestyle. Common territory is Daly City or Freemont.

Surfers living the ASL. Are the same need to be part of a group lameasses. Common territory Sunset district or Linda Mar. Huge congregation at Fort Point.

Thank God I have a severly torn ACL and can not surf 'till fall and don't have to deal with these ASL idiots for quite some time.

Anyone wanna boogie board flat cowells with me?

"It's a blessing being severly fucking injured so I don't have to be the fuck around transplant surfer mutherfuckers showing up and fucking up the whole deal"

-Skip

Them's some good posts late today. Skip and Meatso speak on. Do the Rock Steady by The Termites is playin' on the speakers and there is no hope for a surf tomorrow. Let's drink and burn.

Seeing a local art show tonight, would love, love, love to see some of this out my train ride to work someday....
