Hey dude thanks man. Im not cool though I didnt go strait, went to WP.....

I thought of you this weekend when this idiot was trying to tell me he surfed Alki a few months back. He said he was off the point and the 80mph wind swell was working lefts around the corner.

I still call BS.

With Gaz as the exception, Lappis probably surfs more (and better, but by who's standards?) then most of us.....and he is in highschool. So if his grammar sucks its because he drives 3 to 6 hours a couple times a week for a couple hours of surf, and blows off a little homework.

Keep being a retard Lappis. And keep surfing.

Yes,
Intelligence and ripping surf skills rarely come together.
I have neither but I'm decent at faking both if given the opportunity.

Here it is, 248 sessions compared to 280 in 2005. Crappy weather in Jan & Nov contributed to the poor showing.

Hmm... After analyzing the data I can say with certainty that global warming is not a man-made occurrence. Or, maybe it is. I don't know. I just flipped a coin.

Nice breakdown of data holddown, very interesting to see how much a person who lives on the coast can surf in Oregon in a year. Out of curiosity did you happen to further breakdown the sessions by whether the conditions were good, fair or marginal? Like I said just curious because some people will still paddle out when the conditions are marginally surfable, especially considering how it can be in the summer months.

Oh yeah,

Well my spread sheet has the swell direction and size, wind direction and tide position. Along with who, where and what time and date.
Oh and of coure my own personal description of the day.

NO, I wont post it.
I've been tracking it for 4 years now.
It's given me no additional information. But it is fun to compare and look at.

man I tried to compensate for the lack time in the bowl with time in the wood bowl. But after 1o minutes warming up on the street area and 2 rides upstairs I messed up a frugin frontside frugin pivot and tweaked my knee. Now I only hope that I'll be better by the time the ocean cleans up but it doesn't look good right now. Talk about insult and injury.

Most of these sessions are fair to good. I'm not as much of a snob as Gaz, but I usually won't go out unless there's at least the prospect of a clean face. I don't go out just to increase the numbers. If it's crappy, I'll just run or take a day off.

One time at band camp......

No really, as a proud mother point of view, I have a story about this lappis kid. There were all these LB'rs out one day. You know how it gets, you all bring several options from your quiver but lack the personal experience or wave savvy to decide which board to paddle out, so you go with the crowd and most often end up really far outside on a longboard that took you 45 minutes to duckdive and position....So Lappis and a friend ride up in the lot, get out, check it for a second, dress down in record time, grab the shortboards and before you know it they are headed out where we all know its working but are to lazy to troll. They find the slot and with in minutes a set runs through. They pick the same wave, an a-frame and both grab it...one left one right. Synchronized. What happend after that was a magnificant blur.

Complete show up and disrespect for the old LB men lurking and bobbing and drifting .

Kids these days.
