E's Surf Report

Watched a young couple revel in their obvious love on the N-Judah.
The girl was soft and rounded.
She had very pretty light blue eyes and smooth skin.
The guy was dorky but friendly-looking. Conservatively attired.
Neither of them could wipe the smile off their face the whole ride.
She kept caressing him and whispering in his ear.
He would blush and look around nervously... happily.
She had the look on her face like a women in heat.
Heavy eyelids and a wistful, easy grin.
Both confident in their emotions toward each other.
Both brimming with the strains of love.
The feel of it hovered around them like a resplendent halo.
A warm, tactile, gooey, shimmering light.
Softly bitten lips and a longing look in the eye.
An open, waiting mouth and subtle body-to-body contact.
The wheels of evolution turn strongly.

Sooo.. niceness.org suffererd more of a beating than i originally thought the other day (thanks hacker guy!). The comments might be a few days in the works as we figure out how to re-establish the blogging software and the web server. Hopefully by next week it will be smoothly flowing.

A lot of harsh words were thrown around by countless people in the comments these last few years. People really enjoy taking digs at other folks while hidden safely within the anonymous confines of an interet discussion board. I guess it's just the way of the interweb. I guess one thing to be taken away from all of it is to just try to respect other people in the lineup. Try to be the better guy. If somebody is being lame out there... just paddle away. If you're out with rippers or seasoned veterans of a spot, give those guys respect. Know your place in the lineup. If you moved here from Ohio 4 years ago and you can take off and go down the line just fine... but you're not a shredder... know that there are people who have been surfing here their whole lives and have paid dues to be in the main rotation at a crowded spot on a good day. Let those guys get theirs. Maybe that means not surfing at all and just watching. Maybe that means coming back in two hours and surfing the leftovers. Also it would be great if people just let their surfing speak for itself (i should take note!). Nothing worse than watching some guy just kill it and then listen to him yell obsenities at some old kooky guy who lost his board while trying to duckdive. The chill guys who rip shit up are true inspirations! The older guy Greg who surfs with power and style. That guy rules! He fucking kills it but always has a smile and good vibes too. Andy Olive too.. kills it and is real chill out there. Doesn't hassle. Just drops in deep and shreds shredding shreddables. Elias is another shining example. The guy is super humble and kick-back. You might never guess that he has skills in the water. But then you see him out there just, "DUUDGE!!! DUUUDGEE!!!!!" Tearing the backs off waves and finding barrels and landing gnarly airdrops and just going insane. Inspiring man. To all the quiet, mellow guys who kill it! You're an inspiration!! thanks!

On an unrelated but semi-related note - agrokook sent me this email:

It has been a while since there has been violence at a surf spot in the bay area. It has happened again at Rockaway in Pacifica. You might want to alert your readers. It has been a very tense place to surf over the last couple of months. Beginners from Linda Mar have been driving the locals nuts. It finally blew up like a bad teenage movie. The Bad Lieutenant, a mavericks surfer from Ocean Beach, picked a fight with some pacifica locals on Tuedays night.

There was a lot of yelling in the water for 10-15 minutes. He called them to the beach telling them he'd kick there asses. Like some poorly made kung fu movie, it erupted into a full on brawl. The Bad Lieutenant got his ass kicked bad. At the end he was begging for mercy. The crazy thing is 3 of his buddies stood and watched him get worked?

Even though he deserved it. It made me sick to my stomach.
