    Ankle high seems to be my limit - and I'm not ashamed to admit that I get excited when I actually get up. Although, the excitement fades when my board gradually sinks into the water seconds later.

    Thumbs down

    Yeah, I was in Santa Monica this weekend (thinking of moving that way in Dec), and the biggest swell was coming off of the baywatch boat. If this keeps up, I guess I'll buy my ski gear before a surfboard.
    I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

    One of my favorite breaks is Big Flats!? Usually big, rarely flat. I would feel sorry for you guys but I cant get down there yet anyways. 3 x overhead in Indo, though.

    Seriously, since May it has been pretty damn small! Who is the wave equivalent of Ullr?

    Actually, that would be Aegir. We're talking Norse gods here, bitch.

    I think for surf we have to appease the Hawaiian gods.

    edit: it's heavy localism that pisses off the Hawaiian gods. It violates the Aloha spirit.

    It was actually more of a joke. The guy is a friend of mine, I even helped him clean it off for christ sake. It's more of a recipricol thing. We fuck with him when he comes to Nor Cal and he messes with us when we go kite C-street. No need to get all hissy.

    Damn straight motherfucker. Nobody fucks with the Arty.

    But you guys do have a point. Since I'm a lousy Croatian (Mediterranean), I should be praying to Neptune. I guess even the Hawaiian gods make more sense. What can I say though. Talking shit to tuffy helps pass the time.

    Well now, heckling friends is totally different! I got my ass handed to me, years ago, 'cause some of my Silverstrand friends trashed some Port Hueneme guys car. They saw me alone a few weeks later and decided I was close enough to the guys. So I still cant tolerate vandalism to this day. Sorry I never saw the "joke" tagline. Say no to vandalism, say yes to buddy abuse!

    worse than that.

    we went out...froze..took a wave (finally) in...pearled cause it's nothing but a steep break into 2.5" of water. Great. Stepped on some gum on the way back to the car.

    didn't see your ass out there....smart.
