best fall EVER!!

If you have nothing good to say today, you possibly never will.

Where the f@#k did you go today? I think you drank the Kool-aid.

It was significantly overhead at La Push on Friday (had to be at least 12-14 ft faces)
Scored super consistent waist to chest high waves north of there on Thursday and Saturday.

Probably does not warrant best fall EVER though....

Fri: Sucked.... Got out of work late, jumped in my truck and headed West. I thought I would surf native beach as I had never surfed there before. Now I know why. Chunky closeouts without much face to them was what I got stuck with. It looked better from the parking lot, but the fog was messing with me. I actually enjoy surfing walled up closeouts with the occasional corner. That is fun, but this was mushy. It was difficult to generate speed and no face to work with.

To add insult to injury, in my haste to get out the door, I grabbed my wife's wetsuit instead of my own. I contemplated calling it a day when I discovered this in the parking lot, but I decided I should see if her suit fit and surf.

I could barely breath and I looked like a tick about to pop, but it worked. I am on the $hit list because I peed in the suit a few times. I am keeping my fingers crossed for fall, because the summer has been crap.

PabstMan- I need more of this type of report.

Fri- Lacked motivation, drank beer
Sat- got skunked, went skateboarding
Sun- short early am window until the wankers showed up, went home.

f@#K yeah, autumn!

Ok, this is a wishful thinking thread. Just trying to stay positive so I don't drown in my own froth. breathe...

hello again friends, lovers, wankers, peabrains, spalpeens, crybabies, vals, and marginialized religious cast-offs.

So it's been about two years since I stepped on the deck of a surfboard, and I'm still as groovy a surf guru as ever.

it's been a great fall. Our new boards have hooves, and the whole family is surfing more than ever. My daughter is gonna ride the barrels in the county fair, it will be her first comp ever! Killed a mohave green rattlesnake in the stall area tonight, it had 11 buttons on it's rattle and the body wriggled and struck for 20 minutes after the head was removed. Ate the last one, this one's going to a co-worker. Been drinking prickly pear smoothies for weeks now, love 'em. I see coyotes every day, roadrunners and wild horses too. Took the family on a hike through a slot canyon in 100 degree weather, and found another abandoned neighborhood. Sat in lawnchairs with Mrs Stiffler and watched dry lightning till I couldn't keep my eyes open... like fireworks, without the crowds and parking. Got to see a real life desert monsoon... imagine all of Oregons Fall rain in about ten minutes, in an environment absolutely unsuited to receive it. Critters in the garage, too, scorpions and wind spiders. Went to a Turkish themed street dance, and the neighbor who invited us made us authentic costumes, she's a costume designer and a seamstress, and gave us the garb for free just to drum up some attention to her burgeoning business. Found an 1800s homestead, a weather balloon, and some old mines... Lost 20 lbs nine months ago and got a tan, even on my legs! Got another 1000yd range set up on BLM land and watched both girls win their soccer games last weekend...

there's BS here too, but hey, stoke is where you find it. Some of my best days at the coast didn't involve a surfboard... and the feeling of a solo horseback ride at sunrise in the desert is a lot like glassy 4'@12 seconds with nobody else in the water.

I hope you all get some good waves and good rides and are good to each other in the water, and out.

Hi Doc! How's the Cort?

[Doc]

It's gotten wet a few times...sounds like you're livin' life.

[buoyhead]

You've clearly missed some of his classics then...that one was child's play.

Smoked salmon sunrise.
Overhead mash potato waves.
Satiated but not satisfied.

Looked at the Roads End cam several times today...just looked again. Nice to see some energy even if I couldnt go enjoy it.

Made a quick run through North and Central Ca. Found some empty waves, shared some insanely crowded waves, skated some pools/ ditches, got naked in the woods, washed in some rivers. Got out of my mind a little, bled some. I'm feelin' it again.
