Rained most of the night and yesterday afternoon, went up to Indian Beach to see what the Tsunami did….. well, as much as I could tell, it cleaned the beach up, but didn’t get high enough to reach the rocks on the beach……. Beautiful morning, but the surf looks like el junko….. W 10-12ft @ 10 sec’s with light W/NW winds today…. sun is out, so it just might turn out to be a nice day. 11am is high tide, low at 5pm.

today is the visitors blog/rant day…… so , I will just plug in the 3 that I got this week…… as usual, the flounder gets top billing……( I have pictures of him surfing yesterday…. am holding them hostage)

FLOUNDERS BLOG I DONT RANT
I have to say, after reading Nic’s letter to surfer magazine, I pale in comparison. I don’t know what you do for a living Nic, but you should have been a writer. Damn good stuff, and it got me thinking about the whole “Territorial” thing. Thought I would throw in my two-cents, and realize this is coming from a “Novice for Life”. You never have to worry about me riding your Lady out at the Point. so to speak.
First, I have to say, I don’t really buy into the whole “territorial” thing. Sorry guys and gals, but you don’t own your little stretch of the ocean. What I do live by is mutual respect. If you are new to surfing, follow the rules. Don’t drop in on someone else’s ride, (unless it is Marks wave), don’t take a wave out of turn. Don’t go past your current limits or skill level. Earn your place, both with practice, and showing respect. It goes miles in both surfing and life in general. If you are a veteran surfer, keep a couple things in mind. You did not start out this adventure by paddling out, sitting on your board, spotting a perfect set, picking your wave, and popping up for a perfect ride. Remember where you came from. Someone probably helped you out along the way, maybe you can return the favor. It might erase some of your Karma Debt. So the next time your pissed off at someone you don’t recognize or know out in the water, because of something goofy they did, try spending a moment or two educating them and helping them out, instead of being an asshole. Now, if they tell you to pound sand, or don’t want to listen to you, then they are free game. Assholes are born that way, and they usually dont change. Have at em! I have been surfing at Indian pretty regularly for about three years now. It cracks me up when I see someone in the parking lot who I dont know, and I give them a nod and a quiet “Hi”, and I get the piss eye back. If this is where your heads at, I feel sorry for you. Re-evaluate man. You are not half as cool or tough as you think you are. None of us are. Oh, and pick up your dog shit. Be Good Humans, Flounder

Sean had a short quickie……. Utopia my former future in-laws call it! The Oregon Coast goes by many names, Shangri-La, Eden…

Ryan sent one…. looks like he has a book coming out…….
Hey Mark, You can post this on Thursday if you want. http://thechinproject.wordpress.com/2009/08/19/mansbestfriend Just got a few essays published and will be releasing my book next year. Ryan

sun is out, but had a fall chill in the air this morning…. going to finish up the morning work , then take a drive and see what might be found……. Today, NW 4-6ft, reports calling for 13 sec intervals, but look more like 7-8 sec. Morning, light N winds, but picking up later to 30mph. low tide at 11:30am today. Sunny and a high of 74. Saturday, W 7ft @ 16 sec’s….. that should be something to see…. hopefully!!!! high tide at 7:40am, light am N winds, but again picking up to 25+ later. Sunshine and 70 degrees. Sunday picks up to NW 10ft with N winds, but sunny and 74. Monday NW 11ft with winds N 20+, rain and 58. Tuesday W 11ft, with NW winds 25+mph, 56, rain Wed. W 10ft light rain Thursday NW 6-7ft with sun finally breaking out again…. Next weekend looking pretty good…….

Just got this clipping from my mother in SD county….. I do take alot of shots for my feelings on dog crap and dog owners that don’t pick up the crap……. so, along with this article, I wanted all the dog owners to know that we now sell Doggie T-shirts with the CB Surf logo on the back in all sizes, mini to big un…… I am not totally against them…. just the “select” ones that really piss me off…. and others I might add……. also, I am putting in a picture of my baby sisters new dog….. so, I guess you can say that today is not only visitors blog day, but also dog day….. BTW, had a few fun ones today, even the Foot was allowed out to surf a bit today. Caught a few with Little Larry and Assie Jim…….water still on the warm side, and nice and clean over here!!!
