Visit flickr (below) to see all my shots of the waves today, from Cayucos to Avila, even one tow shot at Mouse Rock taken from the end of Cayucos pier. Crazy! Warm temps, off shores, and tons of green barrels! hoot! Not a bad day to put down the rope...

Slater!

Thanks for those shots, I particularly like the one of the left, where it's starting to section. Sat here and 'mind surfed' it for about five minutes, even though I am a regular foot.

Was it a combi swell?

I'll check out that link, thanks again.

It was a BIG NW with a steep angle...

This is the Avila Pier. Usually people say... "There is surf at Avila?"
Yep. Check this out- tickling the belly.

Jaybro- 's?

No, it is singular.

A 'combi wave' or 'combo wave' which stands for combination wave, does sound like an oxymoron. Since it is the combination of two waves from two different swells (usually a SW swell and a NW swell) coming together to form one wave. Therefore singular and "com-bi wave", not plural or "combi swells"? As you were suggesting above.

Or perhaps I misinterpreted your 's? above, and you were referring to something else altogether.

I thought you said in another post that you weren't a surfer! Not that it has anything to do with semantics.

Regardless, sharp eye Jaybro!

By the way, nice ride!

I thought it was the possessive. Oh well, my bad! Maybe. Just because I don't surf, doesn't mean I don't 'get' the coolness of it!


I get why people jump off stuff in Squirrel suits, too. But I'll surf before I do that!

Jaybro!

I apologise.

I didn't mean for it to sound that way.

I wasn't 100% sure that you were the one who I conversed with on the other thread. I was attempting to answer allot of questions there and specific individuals became intertwined. I just recall someone asking me what I meant by 'barrels'? And I explained.

And so when I said "I thought you said in another post..." It was my simple and I now realise disrespectful way of asking "were you the one who I had the conversation with that said...!

There are allot of things I don't do such as base jump, but I am intrigued by the sport and I also go to their sights.

So, it was my bad. I didn't mean for it to come over as "what are you doing here your not a surfer". It was my abbreviated way of asking the question "were you the person I was talking to about surfing in that other thread? And I was happy to continue the 'surfing lingo' conversation. Much the same way someone you run into at work or the gym etc. shows an interest in climbing.

I will definitely need to be more thoughtful.

And it's never to late to take up the sport (surfing). Everybody and their great-grandmother surf in California, its fun. You obviously have an interest in it, and I am sure you would make a fine surfer.

Peace, John.

No prob triple 7. I think I 'got' what you said, though I didn't see the other thread, In any case, no offense taken.

I think, given the opportunity I'd get into surfing, Wolf City Wyoming is just such a long way from the beach, though..

A few times in the past I have done a bunch of body surfing, I thought it was a very cool thing to 'feel' and be part of...

Nice...I should've gone down there. All the breaks around Morro Bay were walled out and ugly Saturday am. Literally no one out but lots of dudes driving around hoping and looking.

"Wha-bat"

Slater- I've surfed up there a bunch. Only a handful of times in "south county" though.
My friend says the sand is setting up for Widow Walls...

man, those are nice, uh - the waves I mean...

feeling old, best days for me were on the sandbars
at I.B. with a 6'8" round pin, slighty O-head waves.
Board was shaped for a smaller female, narrow (only 17 3/4")
and worked well w/ my smallish feet; when there was juice,
it was loose.

thanks again 4 the great pics...

Yeah, great. New Jersey water temps are dropping like Courtney Love's panties, the line-up is filled with used colostomy bags, the wind is on-shore, and the swell size would be perfect for GI Joe.

NJ surf rocks.
