Walter was on one of his Fabulous Furlough Fridays, and Jee decided surfing was for her, so it’s off to Bolinas for an afternoon. The weather was great… early on. After meeting up at the Dean’s IGA in Mill Valley, we piled into a little car with a stack of big boards, and roared over [...]

It was big yesterday at Sloat. 11-13 on the outer bar, and breaking way, way out near the shipping channel. Several people were out there. When it starts to get really big, it breaks so far out, it’s hard to judge the size. Unless someone catches a wave… then you can see big it is [...]

I have this Taylor 8/4 gun I bought for $200 at Aqua Surf shop back in February or March 2009. It’s in immaculate condition: white, 2-3 pressure dings on the deck, no cracks anywhere. Very nice tapered pintail. I have a picture somewhere, I’ll post it later. In any case, I had not been in [...]

Swell supposedly around 7 feet at 10 seconds. Very peaky, lots of waves, but a small cross-cutting swell made for a lot of mushouts. The outer bar [...]

Superb day at Bolinas yesterday. Of course, being a Saturday, with 2-3′ south swell coming in at 16 seconds and the starting from 0 and incoming tide and the sun out, it was crowded. Did I mention the light, nearly offshore breeze? That too. And that water was warm? Outflow from Bolinas lagoon stores up [...]
Just spent a couple hours at at OB late morning. Superb! Period was short enough with the right tide that it was peaking and wedging all over. And the outer bar was working with a nice shoulder high longboard wave. Worked for me. Had the 9/0 SF Surf Shop shaped by John Schultz. That board [...]
