saltychump — Sun, 15 May 2011 08:57:01 -0700

I just noticed fresh data coming in from SF Buoy 26. It's been down since January or so. Looks like it came back on Thursday.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner Surfs?

Can't imagine where he found anything to ride. He surfed more than I did this week though.

Double plus Epic. Dropped the wall first tracks. 10 ft of untracked powder. Felt like skydiving. Kind of cried at the bottom.

Sea Otters Are Horrible Evil Little Monsters

saltychump — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 08:33:02 -0700

Never again will I be able say "awww" when a sea otter pops up near me. I will never be able to look at one straight in the eyes again. This article has changed me forever. Do not read this.

Expected so little but got so much. Great riding on the steep windblown stuff. Great riding in the corn down low. The funnel, Tower 16 and Headwall face made me feel like I was in the movies. Giving it a good because the you had to find the right spot.

A look at Linda's bottom

saltychump — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 17:32:11 -0800

This photo was on SFGate this morning. It was taken during the tsunami. Linda probably shouldn't let people see that side of her. That said, it's a pretty interesting to see what it looks like.

Surfers rescue high school student who jumped off the Golden Gate bridge today

saltychump — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 16:13:10 -0800

I guess a kid from up in Windsor jumped near the south tower and some surfers at a super secret spot swam over to him and helped him to shore. No major injuries. Some reports are saying it was not a suicide attempt. Somehow.

good surfing conditions at Tahoe - Alpine Meadows

saltychump — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 19:06:56 -0800

Got out for the 11:30 dawn patrol. Everything was pretty well hit but found plenty of stashes. Most of the mountain was dust on mashed potatoes. Super dry 6 inch layer on top. Vis was the only down side. Rode Summit chair alone most of the time.

Tucked in over at boat docks. All by my lonesome. There were a few log ready waves to be had but you needed to paddle like a loony to get into that offshore wind. Most people in the lot drove home in their wetsuits. C-. Still fun.

Pretty much close out city but there are a few short rides to be had on the ######. It seems to be getting bigger and more organimized as the tide fills in and I have to go to work. Boo. Poor plus

Stokers, help me find the perfect longboard for my wife

saltychump — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 08:33:34 -0800

My wife has been out of the water a bunch due to some kind of condition that made it hard to lie on her board. She got better after a little baby boy appeared. Now she's ready to shred Bo, SMLM and Santa Cruz this summer.
Here's what she wants based on a custom board she rode down in CR recently.

saltychump — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 08:20:00 -0800

Local soul surfer Carl Reid's annoying air of superiority took a well-deserved setback today thanks to a number of tiring swims to retrieve his retro twin-fin fish.

Are we doing enough to warn kids about the dangers of getting stoked?

The Sea Shepherd folks got hold of the EarthRace trimaran and a big laser to mess with the Japanese whaling fleet. Looks like we're finally in the 21st century.

Fair minus conditions at the sound end. Everything else is still closed out. There were some fun ones here and there if you paddled around a lot.
The sandbars - they moved.
