Ocean Beach SF, Nov 21 02
kdalle
Today was a perfect cost/benefit ratio. Easy paddle, light offshores,
plenty of juicy waves in the 8-12' range, sunny, uncrowded. The only
addition to Dave's report I would add is that at the peak we were at, we
were the only two people there for 2 hours of solid surf. These are the
days that ramp up confidence and stoke for the bigger days to come.
Keep surfing no matter what.

Nice video. Up here we'd call that about 2 foot.

Never go in w/o a wave under your belt.

Let me let you in on a little secret... At most breaks up here
there is no cell phone service. I was at westport getting skunked.
Surf was jumbled up and not as big as hoped for...
Flek, take notice. When Dave calls me on my cell phone,
he leaves a msg.

An 8'6" in that? You gotta be kidden me. I would of rode
my 7'2". Easily.

You wouldn't last 5 minutes up here, boy. No cell phone service
at the surf breaks and you'd need a board at least 18feet
long to ride the shit we git here weekly...

Let me explain the technology. The cell phone is not for surfing. It's for
calling suburbanites such as yourself to let you know what you missed.

Memory is fading but for me it wasn't so much
the wind as variable currents and shifty peaks
(those two things pretty much go together if
the currents are moving you around), and i
inexperience with the spot. I didn't see any
waves when I was out there that were too big
to surf on a 7'2", but couldn't get to or into
any on the board I was on... what, a 7'6"?
I've surfed bigger days than that, but on
reefs and points that were easier to assess
and catch.

Which is exactly why extra length=more waves caught in S.F. I've seen guys
tear it up on boards 1-2 feet shorter than I ride on any given day. But I'll
catch twice as many waves and ride pretty much how I want to ride the waves
(like a stiff old fart). The trade-off is that the paddle out can be harder
since there is less duckdiveability with more foam.
You can't surf unless you catch waves.
Get yourself out here and let's try it again.

this cam, you can pan, tilt, zoom up to 30X, with 200X
digital possible. The lens is laser resistent, and no one but
me and Superfly can use the cam. Like I said, it is super
secret.
I saw you kook out on the three foot mushburgers
you call "surf". You should quit letting your board go
on the inside. You might hurt someone who can really surf.
BTW..I hear you made quite an impression when you
were on the north shore last year. There is a story

Looked fun...typical OB. Nice drop, mush burger after that, short
ride, kick out. First waverider forgot that last step and got eaten
alive by the shorebreak monster.
School killed me this week, but I'll be out tomorrow, probably head
north of town...report and perhaps pics or vid to follow.
Did you happen to spot my disposable Fuji cam on shore? Got ripped
off me last Friday on the paddle out.

I'll vouch for Jeff as a hardcore waterman. The guy has some incredible
endurance and paddling ability, not to mention being a good surfer.
And that current at OB is nasty. I was tripping when I surfed there, and it
was only head-high.

of shape getting out of the water, said they got rides and got out
at vfws.
didnt go though...
peter wanted to go but wouldnt do it without me. looked big
but very clean, that was what had me considering it, the cleanness.
probably hit it up when it fades some like tomorrow or sunday.
i like the small waves with the big wave feel...

"I remember saying" ... "I remember saying"
What a pathetic liar, driftkook. I read those

ones you've since deleted. As Tim pointed out above,
did you forget that the Supreme Court posted "Don't

bruised on the outside. A bunch of torn tendons and

Nov 22 - (from crutches to ready to try surfing, 10
days) "Might have to kook out at Caspar in the morning
with the bum knee. ... Well, if the swell does drop
