Take a look.  Today and tomorrow will be super locally.

We had a lot of damage locally from last weeks storm but I think the Outer Banks
has us beat.  A friend of mine down there took these pictures during the storm
and after.

For all of you interested in going to Morro Negrito in Panama Feb 6-13, 2010,
it's time to get your applications submitted for the camp.  This is the camp
that Bob Moe raves about and I negotiated a great deal for us to attend.  An
application is on this site in the files section.

good stuff...Eliot check this out.

I was thinking about going and can kick myself for not going today. Did get some
hiking done on the appalacian trail but just not the same as a nice clean swell
in the water and a 74 degree day in nov.

Was out at 36th st today.  Waves were clean and fun but the bottoms mushed out
as the tide came in.  If I had known you were at 47th I would have driven up.

I receiveived this from both Linda Benson and Bob Feigel

Greetings,

I'm normally not that keen about online petitions, but this one has my support.
Linda Benson is working hard to bring the Women's World Longboard Championship
back from France and hold the next world contest at Swamis.

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/86/support-the-womens-world-longboard-championshi\
ps-at-swamis

She has had to start an online petition supporting the contest in answer to
another online petition opposing the use of Swamis as the site and - in my
opinion - their reasons are more about localism and anti-competition than
anything else.

Here are the links to other petition so you can judge for yourselves.

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/stop-surfing-contests-at-swamis

All the best,

Bob

My submission:

As someone who surfed Swamis back in the 50's & 60's and knows the area well, I
support the proposed contest and wish the organizers every success.

Why?

1. Because it's being organized by people I trust, and I can't think of anyone
who would take greater care ensuring that the contest respects both the spirit
and traditional values of Swamis and its environment.

2. Because Swamis can produce a world class wave for a world class contest and I
don't think Cardiff has that potential.

3. I also think that opposition to the contest is reactionary and is more about
localism and anti-competition than anything substantive or valid.

Bring on a strong winter swell ...

This cam from joe Ts blog today.  Not sure if you all have seen/heard this but
if they reclassify surfboards as ships then under the law they could breathalyse
surfers in the line up!

Hey Guys and Gals,

I got another photo in ESPNS surfing blog. Took it last fall.

http://espn.go.com/action/surfing/blog/_/post/4618939#

It is the Kim Diggs photo. click the link near the bottom of the story that says
"For some awe-inspiring and hair-raising images of the Outer Banks, check the
Gallery here." to see the gallery. Hope you digg it.

Careful - kissing a board may cause you to drop your lil snake rating.

fine response the words are true.  Let's take just Morro Negrito as an isolated
surfing spot.  If 20 people go to camp, the airfare is ~$17K per week.  I do
think that dog piling is wrong.  Times that by a year and then times that by all
the other surfing spots and that is a lot of monies to take advantage of a
vacation.  Surfers are a small part of the equation, but do add to the income of
the airlines.  The other dog piling is in the case of a death in a family.  The
short and immediate need to be with relatives.  There is no sympathy there, only
dollar signs.  Stay STOKED as it has taken us the years to mature to this lulu
state...and for those who need to know what a Hono lulu is - it is (lulu) Calm
(Hono) Bay.  There will be a time we will surf together.

to keep the flow going.  An admirable attribute. However the geeks will see it

We were the local rats there and alohaed everyone.  I found out later after

what is it worth?  Not much....

wierd and leave.  Not into that kind of energy...it spoils the flow.  I am glad

Mike

I am very sorry and spoke too soon in the previous post.  That's what I get for
being too busy to look at all my emails.  The tribute for Chris was filmed this
past summer and since I saw him in early October I thought he was still fine. 
However, he passed on last week and the paddle out for him is today at 11 am at
the pier.  Again I am sorry for the mix-up.

Sorry but haven't been reading all the posts lately.  Chris didn't pass on but
he is fighting throat cancer.  He is in the tribute for him that I linked.  He
was inducted into the walk of fame this year and the tribute was put together by
