KaBes: pics r up
KaBes: I thought that was you Oldog!!! ahhh yes, the Majesty of Vernon Valley Great Gorge, and just a hop skip and jump from Long Island
Oldog: KaBes: Oh yeah, just add the alpine majesty of Vernon Valley to that list and we?ve definitely crossed paths, if not collided.
JB:: yeah cruzzer, great run on the bgotds. it looks really Hard and difficult to handle...
KaBes: I would like to just stop and take a moment to really thank Cruzzer for his phenomenal BGOTD work lately!!!! I would say "keep it up"....but that's way too easy, and tee'd up, even for Johnny B
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Wed.3/3 as of 8am FFFLLLLAAATTTT!!!!! pics to follow. Oldog..which ice fields? I grew up IceSkiing at Hunter & Wyndham in NY and Stowe, Stratton, & Bromley in VT, Waterville Valley in Mass, you name it!!!
Cruz: _______________ at 7:25AM
Oldog: Lunch special today is a peely mush-burger on a balmy SE breeze, with a north sweep sauce and a side of bluefish. Delish!
Cruz: The weekend is looking good.
Oldog: JB: 1937? Nah, I guess 12 & 15 years ago (dang...). Getting crowded, but A Basin was still off the beaten path. I grew up skiing the NE ice fields, so out west was beautiful no matter what.
KaBesDailyDriveBy: tuesday pics r up
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Tuesday 3/2/10 8:30 AM small knee high SE wind chop. Fat tide has it breaking real close to shore, but you might find a spot with something to get going on. SE winds 10-15 knts
JB:: when were you there Oldog? Crowds heavy? Wasn't too bad for us, but it looks like it can get busy there. My first time there.
Cruz: Now that's funny, but tragic.
Oldog: JB: I'm gonna live. 1st time in Breck I blew out a knee on day 1. I crutched/shuttled/drank around for 2 days, then duct-taped it & just skied ? ends up I?d snapped an ACL (brain damage has its advantages).
KaBes: Wow, that's funny, I did that last night. ruined a good pair of boxers!!!!
JB:: Wow, my comments must've really hurt Oldog. That or he ate too many sargassum brownies again.
Slowdog: Now he?s lightin? his underwear on fire and singin? a duranduran song!
Oldog: No worries, but thanks. My bros tend to exaggerate a bit.
Cruz: Nice. Full-house.
LeTigre W: JB: It's good to see that somebody else other than me is taking some heat for bad decisions.
Cruz: Dog and Dog family: I want to formally apologize for JB's accusations. He was completely out of line. If you refer to the LBL terms of use, it does state that LBL is not responsible for "douche-like" statements.
Slowdog: and he keeps yellin somethin ?bout ?But, HE?s the one who said thanks for taking care of the twins...?
Fatdog: What did you boys say? Our brother won?t come out of his room...
KaBes: today's pics r up
Cruz: The low south of Nova Scotia is cranking out some major energy. There is a sniper shot of energy heading toward Florida currently. We will have to see any of that energy will show on the Cape Hat buoys.
Cruz: whoaaaa! whoaaa! Oldog would never speak out of line like that. KB..... hmm... yeah. And I was thinking snow. Only snow.
JB:: No, she doesnt. She only knows about Mrs. Fist Deep. I would expect this from KB and Oldog; not the upstanding pillar of the community that is Cruzzer. Very disappointed.
KaBes: Does your wife know about this Mrs. Thigh Deep you went slushing around in her mountains with????
Cruz: I'm glad somebody scored this weekend. I am talking about the snow OF course.
Taint: JB: Careful with your wording "Mrs. Thigh deep" COULD be misinterpreted. Of course I didn't think anything but snow levels.
JB:: Just back from a sick snowboarding trip to Breckenridge; just me and the Mrs. Thigh deep powder in the trees. Nice to be home though; back to oxygen and humidity!
KaBesDailyDriveBy: MonAM. wow March 1st already, hard to believe... 8:30am Below knee high north lines, tide has it rolling up on the beach. gulf stream is macking, cold air in place, NE lines are showing, now we wait....
Cruz: My buddy Lance and WaltonSurf.com will be cranking by late tomorrow into Monday.
Cruz: Strong NW winds near gale force for tonight and Tuesday night again.
Cruz: Added Surf CAMS thumbs to the Waterman. Also fixed "Marine Conditions (Audio)" links above.
Oldog: Gumby - I asked the dolphins to herd mackerel, not sharks, to Boynton. Apologies for any mis-communication. Carcharhinus macarena!
Wahoo: Last night in NB: knee to waist, with chest to occasional head high sets. Really surprised only one out. Water looked like Kava Kava and sharky; though no Carcharhinus leucas were spotted. God speed amigos. Happy Friday!
Cruz: The buoys this morning are showing that the winds did continue at acceptable levels offshore to possibly produce action for SoFlo this morning. Check it.
Gumby: I got skunked. I am going to Tampa for the weekend so you all should get a swell of some sort. Mysto maybe? Byonton Public was apparently closed due to sharks. I guess they are heading south? Weird, since the water north of PBC is finally warming up.
Cruz: Because the winds have backed off, the chance of local swell in the AM may be dashed.
Cruz: Go Dog Go!
Wahoo: i'm going
Oldog: Yup, but there's a low swell roling over the sandbars, with some crumbly yet rideable knee to waist sets.
Wahoo: still looks small on the cams...
Oldog: Grabbed a few rideables at lunch. Nothing great, but still the best part of my day. Water warmer than air.
Wahoo: board is sun curing as we speak----lets go swell!
Oldog: Gadzooks! Is that a giant glob of ambergris in the top photo?
Wahoo: Cruz: are you doing a live broadcast today?
Wahoo: swell filling in yet???
KaBesDailyDriveBy: oh and the pics are up!!!!
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Thx For the set up!!! this AM is almost in the rideable range, NE Swell w/ pretty strong offshores but just not there yet. should fill in through out the day. check it and be ready!!!
Wahoo: nice KB, I hope you appreciate that setup...
Oldog: The too-tan blonde chick: Ooh, an obscure literary reference catfight! (and who?s ?Speonk??...)
KaBes: Wahoo: JB can't read so I'm sure it was just an obscure suggestion. He thinks Melville is a Town on Long Island, not an author
Wahoo: Ambergris, wow haven't heard that word since I read Jitterbug Perfume...was that a literary reference JB or merely an obscure suggestion?
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Wed. 2/24/10 hard to believe this month is almost over. Unrideable sub calf high SE chop. Pics to follow.
Oldog: ... on the lookout for waxy stuff from the intestines of sperm whales, but finding only hunks of Zog, and unidentifiable slimeballs. Such is life.
JB:: Keep an eye out for some Ambergris Oldog. A decent sized chunk of that could finance a new LB.
Oldog: Dude!
Cruz: Wow. After looking at this Argonaut life cycle, I'm feeling kind of primitive. Strangely, it's good to know that other creatures share our angst.
Oldog: Not a fossil. Looks like a transluscent nautilus shell, with no chambers, but technically, it's a protective case that the female builds, carries around and lives in to protect her eggs. To mate, the male "gives" her a special sperm arm, which breaks off, and she KEEPS it in the case. Ow.
Cruz: Cool - so was is it a shell or a fossil?
Oldog: ...and now for some weird geeky news: I found an Argonaut ?shell? (which is actually a pelagic octopus egg case) on the beach yesterday. No, reallly - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_nautilus
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Sorry so late, but this AM yielded a micro south sub knee high line, almost rideable. Sweepers catching a few lazy lines, but not really doing it. Check Cruzzer's forecast...
Cruz: Wahoo - slight chance of south wind swell from Wednesday and decent chance of local swell on Thursday morning/PM in Sofl.
Wahoo: waves?
Wahoo: nice butt BGOTD!
Oldog: Some rideable wind chop, but lots o manowar in the water, moving north fast. (I got ankle deep and changed my mind)
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Rainy Monday, but waist + SE wind chop. looks like fun, but drift looks strong too, rain forecasted for the day, and heavy in the PM. get some!
brazuca: cool , thanks for the inf.
Cruz: Brazuca - A possible southy for the EC of Florida for Tuesday. Not likely. Looking better for Thurs. morning for local swell. NW winds at 20-25.
walle: thanks...Kabes.
Oldog: JB: If my thrashing around isn't enough to do it, I'll ask the dolphins to herd some down (where's my ahooga horn?)
JB:: Push those schools south Oldog! Been real slow to turn on south of Boynton Inlet this season.
Oldog: Pretty much confirmed, but the spanish bite's been on - go fish!
KaBes: Sorry no drive by today, but it's pretty much flat anyways.
BRAZUCA: HELLO, CAN ANYBODY GIVE US SOME HOPE FOR SOME WAVES THIS COMING WEEK?
Oldog: Happy to say that last night was a blast, with a few superlong lefts, palm trees framed by sunset and a pair of performing dolphins. The Flailing Potato lives!
KaBes: Walle: to the right of the weather images (NOAA) and below the forcast in the middle of the page
walle: I guess I should ask the questions better...where are the pics posted. DOH! I know they are from the old stompin' grounds.
Surfitness: Sounds great guys...Surf this am looked about thigh high+ George Bush Blvd area
Oldog: Yeah, I'm worn out just watching them. If you see me throw anything like that, it means I've got a manowar in my trunks.
KaBes: oldog: That McFlip double twist thing the tomato threw at the end was INSANE!!! Also saw those dive bombers, got a few pics of them too....very cool agreed!!!!
Oldog: Found some open ends last night at "Beach FL". Just me and a zillion fish. No time in AM (Damn you Flying Tomato!) but definitely rideable. There were a couple of hundred gannets dive-bombing offshore. Very cool.
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Thursday AM. small north lines, maybe knee high. good angle and looks fun, go get some
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Walle; Barzuca; I try to take pics from a different spot each day but I am in the South Palm Beach, North Broward area
brazuca: Beach , fl where .
Cruz: Beach, FL
walle: Kabes...where are the pics located?
Oldog: Wahoo: Me and one other dude found the somewhere last night. H high long lefts till dark at the secret spot, but wind knocked down chopped it out this AM.
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Pics are up
Cruz: 9:30am check in SPBC - lots of energy. A little fat out there......
Wahoo: Any chance for some action this wknd, Cruz? I'm finally spending a wknd at home, and am literally dying from lack of surf....too much work/travel - Lord send me some scraps, please!!!
Wahoo: It was head high off Hillsboro mile last night...closing out where I was, but prob really good somewhere
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Wed.AM small knee high and rideable. Clean north lines and light winds as of 8AM. best on a longboard, but shortboardable for sure. get some
561guy: swell came up head hi before dark in pb co. best bet to chek in am , mabee, or not, thats' So Flo.
surfer: f--k it. im going
surfer: any predictions for tomorrow morning????? GO/NO GO
Cruz: Thanks Dog.
Oldog: I swam Jupiter at about 1:00. There was a swell, but not rideable. Cam definitely looks like things have gotten more interesting since then, and could be good in AM?
Cruz: I see energy on the CAMS. Any eyewitnesses?
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Flat!!!
Oldog: Re the OF&S in the LBL - I can at least state unequivocably that I'm a good swimmer. Cruz: thx for the sticker. Had to battle my young, slender, fast daughter for it.
KaBesDailyDriveBy: pics to follow.
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Sunday Valentines day: well there are waves, knee high + maybe a bigger set or two. Tide putting a hurting on it, and has is doubling up, right tide right place and ye shall score
Cruz: The "fat, old and slow" comment is wrong. The Pottsie comment is correct.
WAvewarrior: You guys r too fat, old and slow to catch waves that long. Pottsie can't even swim.
KaBesDailyDriveBy: 3:30pm Friday strong SE wind chop, big and drifty, a far cry from this AM's flat calm conditions. Not looking all that fun, looks like a lot of work!!!
KaBes: Yeah I tell them right after you tell everyone about my 300 yard 5 over soul arch....the only difference is my ride really happened!!!!!
Pottsie: KB - Tell everybody about my 100 yrd left on Thursday.
Conan: Rain or Snow - Go and hug your state tomorrow. handsacrossthesand.com
WAvewarrior: Thurs. aftrnoon was waist hi and clean in the right spot if u could find it. The off shore reefs were pumping, solid.
Cruz: Cool, I just secured it for 10 years.
Pottsie: Cruz - I checked it for you. carpoollinelife.com is available.
Cruz: Saturday is looking good too.
Cruz: Thanks Gumby.
Gumby: Thurs, 1030 a.m.: Refraction peaked overnight but tide is dropping out and it is showing from Jupiter (waist high at Civic) to Boca (at least). Hit it while it's there and while the winds are offshore. Unless the winds stay light when they go north (about 2 p.m.), there will be a small window only.
KaBesDailyDriveby: Tuesday am: Strong SE winds creating wedgy peaks in the waist plus range. Looks mostly like SE chop with some hidden NE swell under it. Not anything like yesterday... But waves to ride!
561guy: thanx for the heads up this am. had a 3 hr. nooner at a central pb co. peir. shoulda taken the long, instead of the mid-size board. tide was a little fat, but still got my fill. water was clear and beautiful !
WAvewarrior: NB and SB were super fun today hope u all got urs.
KaBesPMDriveBy: Fun stuff coming in everywhere. stand out spots...well, they are just that...standing out!!!! Chest high, maybe a bigger set or two and real fun. GO GET IT NOW!!!!
Brad Vazquez: Looks really fun right now on the cams in Delray. Should keep building!
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Mon.2/8. Fun waist + NE swell. Fun lines this am, winds are real light tide on the way out. Looks good go get some!!!
Cruz: Nice. The data on the buoys show some good numbers for surf this morning. Check it early. High tide is approx 5am.
KaBesDailyDriveby: Waist to chest SE chop... Unreal amount of our blue friends on the shoreline!!!!!! Be careful...getting wrapped up by one of them can really ruin your day!!!! But there are waves for sure!!!
WAvewarrior: We all know the risks of swimming with mother nature, wish his friends and family the best.
Cruz: A shark attack death in our backyard is always unnerving. Yes. Prayers.
KaBes: crazy....very sad. Thoughts and prayers to the family for sure!!!
Wahoo: Shark death in Stuart...my blessings to the family.
KaBesDailyDrinveBy: Thurs. 2/4 Pics r up!!! Thx Cruzzer!!!!
KaBesDailyDrinveBy: thurs. 2/4 and once again as you will see when Cruz updates the pics I sent him @ 8:15....lots of the blue meanies!!!
KaBesDailyDrinveBy: Thurs. 2/4 Sub Knee high NE chop almost rideable. could build and be fun. worth a look if you can. certain spots might even be rideable on a log now
Cruz: Updated. 4cast and posted January BGOD archive.
KaBesDailyDrinveBy: OK Cruzzer, we accept your apology. Pics finally up....I guess we should cut Cruzzer some slack, he's under a lot of pressure this week.
Cruz: Please excuse my lack of updating. I have a festival to throw at my kids school.
KaBesDailyDrinveBy: Wed.2/3 Small knee high or less N swell. Could be fun at "select" spots on a log. Choose wisely and you could have some fun
WAvewarrior: wasist to stomach hi in nb this morning, lots o fun on a log
Cruz: Round 2
KaBesDailyDrinveBy: P.S. Lot's of our little blue stingy friends...as you will see by the pics...to follow shortly.
KaBesDailyDrinveBy: Tues. 2/2 knee to waist chop, a little nicer looking than yesterday. some small ones but looks fun. get it if you can, or at least it's worth a check
Cruz: Sorry about the typos in the forecast. It must have been that Catholic Education.
KaBesDailyDrinveBy: Mon. 2/1, small NE to E chop slop in the knee to waist high range. If you need some, you can definitly get some, not the prettiest of days but there is surf.
Cruz: NE chop is coming down the coastline.
Cruz: No waves today along the SE FLA coast. SW coast will have waist high chop. Panhandle should see a possible SW swell. Rain is on the way as a blimp of low pressure moves in from the SW.
lolong: so cruz bottom line, when can we expect waves again?
KaBes: Pics now can be clicked and enlarged....check it out!!!!
Oldog: The red underpants girl hangs out at Bottom Beach
Conan: Pipeline live: www.volcompipelinepro.com/live/ Guest com Gerry Lopez on NOW
Cruz: Kabes - Nice bottom beach shot.
KaBes: Looking a lot more rideable now...
KaBes: Pics are up
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Thurs. 1/28/10 small almost knee high north lines with an onshore crinkle to it. tough to say, but might be worth a look.
WAvewarrior: Surfed NB mon thru today super loggable; pretty much too my self at times, helps when I get too watch it all day. Hope U guys and gals got urs.
561guy: 1-26 Tuesday Work had me in St. Lucie Co. Checked FPI in the am low tidish, side shore winds-no one out include me. Did my job, and chek back in afternoon, wind straight onshore, tide coming up, cleaned up alot. Went out with 1 other guy who was sponging, good sesh for the surf impaired, quickly joined by other boarders , comf in shorts and a 1mm top.
Oldog: That's me - didn't paddle all the way out to the stream, but think I found the only lonely rideable wave in Yoopiter yesterday.
KaBesDailyDriveBy: My Pleasure Oldog!!! Today(Wed 27th) is very similar to yesterday. sub knee high, but gulf stream huge. might be loggable somewhere for the desperate
Oldog: KaBes: Thanks for the info!
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Tues. 26th: Beautiful day!!! cool out with off shore winds, sub knee high north lines, with the gulf stream looking huge, keep an eye on it today....
KaBes: Mon pics r up
KaBes: Mon 1/25...go get some!!! Waist plus mixed E SE chop slop with some underlying NE swell mixed in it looks like. looks fun.
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Sun report below and pics to follow
KaBesDailyDriveBy: Waist high, SE chop slop, rideable and could be fun at the right spot, head east there's waves.
KaBesDailyDriveby: Sorry 4 the late report, but the pics say it all. Head high on the seagulls, that's about it! Check it later u never know
Cruz: Wow. That low exiting quickly off Cape Hatteras has an eye.
KaBes: Fri AM Pics updated
KaBes DailyDriveBy: Just below knee high, south leftovers. not really rideable
Oldog: Is that what they call a breakout shoutbox?
JB:: yeah KB... I really like what you've done with the site since taking over control!
Cruz: Nice work KB.
KaBes: 2PM check: fun south chop in the waist plus range. looks like some fun peaks out there. the against the grain lefts look fastest, rights look longer and mushier, but looks fun.
KaBes DailyDriveBy: 8:30 Am Thurs. 1/21. There's surf!!! small knee maybe thigh high SE wind chop. could be fun at the right tide and right spot.
KaBes DailyDriveBy: Flat, slight trace N line sub ankle high. Great beach, snorkle, diving, and fishing day!!!
KaBes DailyDriveBy: ok, daily pics are up. sorry 4 the delay, still working the kinks out. I will also post a daily report here under "daily drive by".
Conan: I though KB took over
I want Video (Beach and BGOD)
KaBes: Cruzzer....that's not nice. Conan....new daily pics are up.
Oldog: Conan: Just checked the hands across the sand link - thanks! Harvested a bag of bch trash yesterday and today, so maybe Cruz' low will show.
Cruz: Great new format KB. La Douche.
Conan: Nice new format. KB: when are you going to tap into the cam for Cruz?
Conan: Save the Date 2/13/10: http://handsacrossthesand.com/ keep FL waters oil free
KaBes: 561guy, thanks for the props!!!! the pics will vary each day but mostly in the South Palm Beach and North Broward areas
561guy: Nice add too the site, but may I ask where the daily picts. are shot? Exuse me if its' there and I;m not seeing it.
Wahoo: All I can say is sweet! to the new shoutbox...well done again gents...
KaBes: Thanks VanIsle, but I can not take credit for the BGOTD's. That is all the work of the One and Only Cruzzer!!!! I handle the daily pics.... and I know, I've missed the last 2 days. Working on it....we'll get it right.
Machapu: 30k prize ASP LQS in Huanchaco Peru! Jan 27-30. Stay with us in Chicama, the most perfect longboarding wave in the world! http://www.machapuadventures.com/about_chicama.htm
Name VanIsle: The BGOD rocks. thanks KaBabes
PSL local: Anyone know if there is such a chart or forcast for water temps? PSL was 55 degrees water temp - painful
sjw: The big E's are looking good!
KaBes: soon to be click-able to enlarge the size....we're workin on it!!!!!!
KaBes: Alright...daily pics are up!!!!!
WAvewarrior: Anyone happen to know where a nice guy like myself can find some fun with a few friendly swells.
561guy: I've never "not" seen a shark at ocean reef park in winter. They like the channel right beside waters edge, like most beach breaks in FL, but really prominent there. My hand is up for the daily pictures.
Gumby: Kabes - Only if you name the spot!
Went out at the not-so-secret Ocean Reef park late this afternoon to ride some waist to rib high glassy lefts breaking off the exposed reef. Got out there to be greeted by no less than 10 good sized sharks. Two waves and out.
Oldog: Sounds good to me, after you figure out the most satisfying BG position.
KaBes: The placement, it's all about the placement!!! Speaking of placement...by a show of hands, how many of you would like to see a daily surf pic with placement on the site?
sjw: There is nothing wrong with this picture.
Cruz: Not that there is anything wrong with that.
KaBes: Hey everyone, click above to open up a seperate window/shout box. This way you guys can shout all day without a BGOTD's rear end starring your co-worker in the face.
Oldog: Bloggers remorse: I withdraw my below snarky skewering comment, with apologies. Please replace with ?More separation = less anxiety.?
Oldog: Barny - good trash getting! I'll let Westwind praise you for skewering that other guy. Nice photos Cruz!
Gumby: Love the clean look to the site, Cruz. It's working through SFL gentlemints. Go surf.
dwj: Nice update to the site Cruz.
KaBes: No dribble where I surfed today. Waist + Fun ones, with some punch, had an inside peak all to myself, water was warm, but as soon as you got out....painfully cold. Worth every chilly footstep back to my truck.
Gumby: Barn - you're the second person to tell me this. Wish I had thought to travel south sooner... I think tomorrow will be on further north too.
Wahoo: I can't believe these temps...crazy Fl
Barney: Well I got some nice waves at a secret spot...Very few out due to the cold. And one less kook now that I duckdove thru his board.
Gumby: What waves? All I see is flatness, unless you count that dribble in Boca? Please let there be something tomorrow.
Barny: Well I picked up some trash from the beach earlier today, most of it was frozen to my wetsuit. I accidently duckdived infront of someone taking off on a wave and came up and went thru his board. Man was he pissed! His board was 2 weeks old. ooops
JB:: Pretty rare occasion in S Fl when the beer stored outside of the 'fridge in the garage is colder than the ones in it.
surfer: I'll be out there as soon as i can see waves coming!!!
lolong: Who will be the first to bare sub zero (well not really) temps in the AM. Should be fun!!
ais: As forecasted in June, with El Nino in place we would experience a milder hurricane season, but a harsher winter. I would say that is pretty accurate.
Cruz: There's plenty of energy right now in PBC.
Cruz: Things are on the up and up Sunday-Monday/Tues. I will update now.
Pottsie: I still use my SALSA coffee mug everyday.
KaBes: Testing 123
sjw: Can they were a hat.
Cruz: Yes. I know, But OSHA regulation warrants a certain amount of material to be worn.
sjw: Cruz, I thought LBL had a bit to much on
Cruz: Test 2
Cruz: Testing, testing. 1.2.3
Oldog: Please, don't encourage her. Talk about endangering your Happy Place...
Cruz: Oldog. That's funny.
Cruz: I just adjusted it. If you click above where it says"ShoutIT in LBL Shoutbox" it should open a breakout box with just the Shoutbox. Try it.
KaBes: LOL!!!!
Oldog: Mom!
Oldog\'s Mother: Or, you could replace that tramp with a nice photo of David Hasselhof...
KaBes: Or we can raise the shout box.
KaBes: Wahoo, you bring up a good point. Cruzzer, maybe we should put it lower on the site or maybe just switch that and the West End Films spot? Especially if we push the limits on "risque" nature of the image.
Oldog: So, Cruz, if a bikini was a "French cut" would that mean the girl was from France? Wahoo: Surprised I would not be if crossed paths we had (with my 4'0" SUP I am sorry about having cut you off)
Wahoo: LOL meant to be LBL...
Wahoo: Hey Cruz, I know this sounds CRAZY, but is there anyway to "re-locate" this beautiful arse to my left? I love checking the LOL site on breaks from work, but this booty is so close to the Shout box that I can't chime in without my co-workers thinking I'm looking at a porn site! No worries if not brother; happy Friday to all!
Gumby: Oldog - what do you ride? I am a Jupiter (Civic mostly) local (now anyway - still lay claim to being a Boynton local for having lived there so long and still surf there more than Jup believe it or not). Probably have seen you out there at some point.
Oldog: At the Secret Spot, trash bagging was I...
Wahoo: Hey Oldog, I think I saw you! Do you ride a 3'2 Al Merrick? That bag looked bigger than you! Mad props! You're like a surfing yota! Woohoo!
Cruz: FYI - Those Undies are considered "Bikini-Cut" style. They qualify. Yep.
Cruz: FYI - Those Undies are considered "Bikini-Cut" style. They qualify. Yep.
Oldog: Right on KaBes. It's not the Underwear GofTDs, just the soggy nearshore herd. Jupiter wasn't quite rideable at lunch, but saw nice schools of spanish flipping just outside the rocks N of Carlin. I harvested one bag o trash, so maybe some weekend waves.
Cruz: It will snow in Gainesville Friday.
JB:: Asking for the locations of secret spots is right up there with politics and religion; things you just don't talk about with others.
KaBes: This is great!!! I feel a lot of Love on the site, or is that just the BGOTD??? Either way....we all know as in life, & especially in surfing you must pay your dues before you earn your place in the line up!
wavewarrior: Or u could just skip surfing and learn how to sweep!
Oldog\'s Mother: Thank you Mother. He?s been pitching the One Piece plan for a while, but yours is one of the very few positive replies so far. He knows that picking up just One Piece of trash, no matter how small, each time we hit the beach can make a giant difference. He?s waiting for more humans to commit. So, here we go Mother - to bring things full circle for our man Barny: I love you, You love me. Come on WestWind ? what are we?
MOTHER OCEAN: I like this One Piece plan. If enough trash is picked up, I will send you waves this weekend.
Oldog\'s Mother: WestWind: You?ve got my boy wrong. He doesn?t pretend to own anything waterward of the asphalt. If he?d started at the public with everyone else, complained about the ?kooks? and asked for some ?secret spot? intel, he?d have gotten the same answer he gave our man Barny, or much worse. He was just telling the dude to begin at the beginning and ?revel in the experience? (he is a bit melodramatic). So, you in on the One Piece plan?
WestWind: So, there you go Barny the answer is yes. Check out access 5 North of Atlantic Beach/Ponce Inlet/Blow Whole/Sebastian Inlet just to name a few. But be prepared to meet some Oldog types that think they own the beach and the waves. Just remember surf away from everyone else at least for a while and if you cut one of these guys off just paddle fast to the next beach!
Oldog: So, there you go Barny ? the answer to your question is apparently NO, we can not tell you about any secret spots, because they are, well, secret. The fact is that, when you are ?new to surfing?, you are supposed to BE one of the kooks at the public beach, and we expect you to revel in the experience. Dig hard, be polite and rock on. Oh, and please pick up One Piece of trash each time you leave the beach. Mother Ocean will love you and we will respect you. Cool?
wavewarrior: Flamingo goes off on a N. swell!!!
Woo: Sebastian Inlet?
surfer: hey Barny, theres a great secret spot between jacksonville and miami you could try
Oldog: At least I didn't give away the never-fails "wave barking" secret.
Cruz: I like the pork chop advice.
Oldog: Lake O West rules! But, to compensate for the lack of buoyancy inherent to fresh vs salt water, you must strap a pork chop onto the top of each foot. Duct tape works well. Happy New Year
wavewarrior: There r some killer spots on the west side of Lake Okeechobee!
Barny: Hey can anyone tell me where some secret spots are? I am new to surfing and the public beachs are so crowded with kooks.
KaBes: Happy New Year Everyone!!! Hey Potts, what a blast we had up there. The Family already wants to go back. Killer time and beautiful area. Need to talk to you about it. I'll give you a buzz this week some time.
Woo: Well, yesterday in Fort Lauderdale was sick, today was flat.
Cruz: Happy New Year. Thanks for a great 2009.
