Watching for the next swell

Don't worry another swell will be here soon. Until then it will be log time.

Cold Water-No Waves

Where am I? Back in Santa Cruz?

Santa Cruz was an epic winter break and they do get south swells, but if there is no real swell I remember going weeks on with no waves and cold water.

After surfing yesterday with Bob, the water took a turn for the cold..along with the waves dwindling down below my weight bracket.

Come on South Swells let's get back to business!

New Board alert

I saw Chris Miller yesterday and was complaining that I can't noseride. Or that my kid can noseride now and I can't (or never have). He started in on the board issue. I need a board that will work for those small summer days.

So Chris thought the best RX for me is Dennis Murphy's California Classic.

From the Murphy site:

This is the "Rolls-Royce" of our line. It is wide, heavy, and dying to noseride. Don't let the word noserider fool you. This board can really turn too. For those who aren't sure if they want to make the leap backwards to a single fin, we offer side bites for extreme grip on the mid face.



Specs:
Lengths: 9' 0" - 9' 10"
Nose: 18½"
Mid: 23"
Tail: 14½"
Thickness: 3⅛"


Fins: Single

Nothing like a flat spell to start a stimulus program. Note to Ed - Most importantly I need the Leucadia Project laminate
