StokeReport Beach BBQ on Sunday August 1st at SFOB, 3PM

"The majesty of the gods is revealed! And their peaceful abode neither the winds shake nor clouds soak with showers... and an ever cloudless sky vaults them over, and smiles with light bounteously spread above!" -Lucretius [95-55 BCE], De Rerum Natura

Does this mean David will bring a vaulting cloudless sky? haha!
2 1/2 hour drive for us. On a Sunday 3:30? I think We will have to send the video saying wish we could be there haha.
Have fun everyone!

I can bring some veggies to grill/roast, for folks who eat that sort of thing.

Reminder: Let's be careful about Beer and alcohol... We'll probably be on the beach cops' radar!
I'll bring some hansen's diet soda and some carrot juice.

I'm bringing donuts, rice krispi treats and bagels.

Yes, stealth is your friend, glass containers are not. I have some solo cups I could contribute.

Does anyone know if those fire pits have a grill plate on them?
Or can someone bring one?
Me no have! An Australian without BBQ gear - d'oh!

I'll bring some somethingoranother. Will probably have some kids in-tow too. Looking forward to it.

beer and some firewood

Do this at FT Chronic....more bbq's and a better atmosphere...Show the Marin boys whats up~

If you are going to OB the pits do not have grills, just pits. Also, be cautious of broken glass around the pits under the sand. I believe ###### in Marin does have grills, but not 100%.

have a great time all!

I've got:
a couple of burgers*
Squash, zucchini, apples, and bananas to roast,
some cups, few plates, some spoons and stuff
some folding chairs.

*rice tortilla buns. suck it gluten.

great to see everyone there this afternoon! @sticker, how were the waves?

Really good seeing everyone & putting some faces to some names. Good times.

@zurffy & I proved, once again, that you should *always* go. Conditions were much better than they looked. About chest-shoulder high & throwing more energy than expected. We both caught a bunch of waves, including a beautiful damn near cover-up by @zurffy. 'twas a beautiful thing, that one, especially given the conditions.

Right near the end of my session (I'd already called 'last wave'), I saw a dolphin jump clear out of the water. About 3 minutes later, I hear some dude next to me say 'oh shit'. I look over but don't really notice anything unusual. I paddle for the next wave & miss it but realize that *everyone* has gotten out of the water, and they're *all* staring at me... Uh oh... Began wondering whether I'd paid my rent... Caught the next wave, a close out, & tumbled to shore. Got out & walked back to my truck when the fellows that had been staring at me came up & confirmed that they had all beat it b/c the landlord had indeed paid a visit. They freaked out & had all been calling to me to get out of the water, but my damn hearing sucks balls...

...Might be time to pay a visit to the ENT doctor.

Careful, careful, y'all. 'tis coming in to that season...

dun dun
dun dun
dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun

Yikes... I'm freaked out in retrospect!
Had fun surfin with u though.
And great to
meet peeps!
Hope to see people in the water...

Sheesh. Wouldn't be a party without a visit from youknowwho.

Great to meet folks on the beach today!

I knew that wasn't a giant sea bass I saw last week!

@sticker: Discovery Channel just started Shark Week. The landlord must've gotten the message.

let me add: it was nice to meet some of the stokereporters although some had already left by the time my late-ass arrived. If this event repeats in the future, someone should be in charge of bringing something to go over the fire. Tracey and greacen brought food and there was no way to cook it. :)

I'm kinda surprised that alcohol is banned on the beach in SF. Have there been problems in the past? The beach scene doesn't seem rowdy enough to warrant an alcohol ban.

@kook, yes. Back in high school OB was a favorite get drunk and punch somebody spot for a lot of folks. But, alcohol may have been banned then too.

Great event, [hopefully] the First Annual. Nice to see folks and put names to faces. Didn't see the rainbows, though. Must of got there too late...

Twas fun. I'm looking forward to next years' already!
Kooktastic's cocky was a high point for me.
I would have like to see the landlord's visit - from the beach!
Maybe the dolphin leaping was his way of saying "Get OUT of the water, dude!!"
It was nice diving back to the East Bay into warmth and sunshine afterwards.
