Let's go!

― Milo Smiley (nordicskilla), Thursday, 10 March 2005 23:39 (nineteen years ago) link

there is a coastal flood advisory down here. it is like 12-15 ft at swami's i think. hundreds of cars parked along the beach.

― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 10 March 2005 23:40 (nineteen years ago) link

ah swami's... i miss leucadia/encinitas so much, v! tell me it hasn't changed at all!

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 10 March 2005 23:42 (nineteen years ago) link

um ... more suvs and hummer h2s than you remember, i bet. and you can't smoke in the saloon anymore. the lily (vietnamese restaurant, remember?) burned down and they tore down miracles cafe to build some office space. it's cleaned up a bit but i expect that when the biotech crash happens it'll get a little seedy again.

leucadia = exactly the same as it's ever been +/- 1 or 2 fancy restaurants.

― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 10 March 2005 23:47 (nineteen years ago) link

someday, vahid and tim ellison and i will meet at the che cafe and have a beer and a laugh.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 10 March 2005 23:54 (nineteen years ago) link

― Milo Smiley (nordicskilla), Friday, 11 March 2005 03:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I thought about doing a class at CCAC (or CCA as it is now called) but it was too much $$$$.

eight months pass...

YO GYGAX! WINTER STORM IN EFFECT!

10-12 ft waves at swami's today! 20 ft overhead at the face! jetskis! helicopters! cops and fire trucks and ambulances lined up on the 101 in case anybody drowned! every surfer who showed up had an entourage - bros for moral support, bros w/ video cameras.

what weirded me out most wasn't the intense size of the surf but

1) i can hear it breaking from my parent's house (this is pretty unusual - we're about 1 km away from the beach but it sounds like i'm standing on the cliffs )

2) seeing swells lined up 5 or 6 deep.

― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 22 December 2005 06:43 (eighteen years ago) link

I surfed blacks yesterday and today and got my ass kicked. I'm going to laugh when this swell breaks the boards of all us bros, and we won't be able to buy new ones

― tylero (tylero), Thursday, 22 December 2005 17:50 (eighteen years ago) link

holy fuck tyler - you are a madman.

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 23 December 2005 01:07 (eighteen years ago) link

did you see the lifeguard on TV who was trying to bodysurf at the cove yesterday? what a nutcase!

on the newsreels you could see crowds of seabirds gathered round, gulls and pelicans waiting for the sharp rocks to smash soft body and crack his skull open, so they could peck at the sweetbreads and feast on his brains.

you must be very proud.

I figgered out where maverick's is now. I drive past it often!

― [tuvan throat singer's profound lyric sheet-must read again] (nordicskilla), Friday, 6 January 2006 23:09 (eighteen years ago) link

that's the sort of photo that makes me 'get' surfing

― gear (gear), Friday, 6 January 2006 23:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh man I heart surfing.

...in an abstract way. What with the whole "land-locked Midwesterner" thing and all.

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 6 January 2006 23:28 (eighteen years ago) link

for those that don't know my last name, that's my brother

― jaxon (jaxon), Saturday, 7 January 2006 00:12 (eighteen years ago) link

dr.?

you gotta love a big-wave riding gynaecologist.

― [tuvan throat singer's profound lyric sheet-must read again] (nordicskilla), Saturday, 7 January 2006 00:26 (eighteen years ago) link

towed in = lame

― tylero (tylero), Saturday, 7 January 2006 00:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Wait, is your brother the dude that gets interviewed in Riding Giants (or maybe Step Into Liquid)?

― gbx (skowly), Saturday, 7 January 2006 00:53 (eighteen years ago) link

he's a chiropractor. actually he does chiropractic biophysics. i guess they get a "dr" before their name? he went to school for 4 yrs.

i'm not sure if he's in either of those movies (i kinda doubt it), but he has Riding Giants playing in the office to entertain those waiting to see him.

towed in = lame

i can't tell from those photos if he was towed in. i don't see any jet ski in that first photo. also, why is it lame? could you surf those waves w/o it?

― jaxon (jaxon), Saturday, 7 January 2006 01:00 (eighteen years ago) link

you can't even tell if that is a tow in since in the first pic you can tell he drops down on the wave instead of swinging into it.

man, all towing in is getting a ride to the party. nothing wrong with that.

― ShawShank Rambo Connection (Carey), Saturday, 7 January 2006 02:59 (eighteen years ago) link

this stuff simultaneously amazes and frightens me. jealous of, maybe threatened by, those who have done it, and want to try myself. but i think i'd be too focused on savoring to be sufficiently in control. on second thought, i don't think i'd ever get past the fear enough to savor. hmm.

that thing in the movie about mavericks being like the grand canyon is pretty otm.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 7 January 2006 03:47 (eighteen years ago) link

i love the grain of the wave in that last photo
