Kudos to the shortboarder at N this morning who encouraged the 2 overwhelmed young longboarders to go for it.

"You gotta want it!" he said.

great surfing conditions at Santa Cruz - Other

Waves were breaking in Santa Cruz today. Some surfers rode these waves and enjoyed them. Respect the vicuña.

fair surfing conditions at San Francisco - Ocean Beach

King of Kooks — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 11:55:29 -0700

Nice and sunny. 4 flocking SUPers (I said "flocking") paddling themselves around like it was fleet week. What's the proper term for a group of SUP's? Like "a crash of rhinos"

Oh and some poor dude dislocated his shoulder out there. Had to flop into the beach. Massive pain. He wont be back out for a while.

And overheard from a SUP'er at the nice clean Seadrift right I'd been occupying solo for an hour...after he posted himself directly outside me with 2 other just arrived SUP'ers:

"I haven't surfed before. This is my entry into surfing"

Dear Lord. Help me to be the kind man I aspire to be and not the psycho SUP-hater I feel I may be.

How can you go wrong with instructions such as: "Don’t forget about hollow waves, freight-trains, slow churning or paper-thin waves. The possibilities are endless."
