Many in town have just about given up on
the clouds and murky water ever clearing, and the surf ever
getting really good again. Wishing, hoping, and praying for
the warm summer surf season to kick into high gear just has
not worked!
As a last resort, we now call on
you Superman...
Please bring us a hurricane swell, and make
the clouds and murky water go away!

This wave was made possible
by a large storm in the southern hemisphere,
and not by a large boat.
Last week I posted the below
Hotshot, and got a lot of emails asking
me if that boat really made that wave. Sorry it's not true,
just a poor attempt at humor. How cool would it be if it was
possible though. For one the NSSA, WQS and WCT contests circuits
would never have to deal with holding their events in small
surf again! The locals at Rincon could use a boat to produce
surf during the flat summer months, the locals at Malibu could
use a boat to produce surf during the small winter months. And
yes those that surf Newport could coax some affluent Newport
yacht owner into helping us produce waves like this at the Wedge...
Fed up with Newport's recent
lack of surf, a couple of guys that are out of school for Spring
Break this week came up with a pretty good idea. They coaxed
one of their dads into motoring his boat back and forth off
of 18th St yesterday. Surprisingly it made for a pretty good
wave!

It's one thing when
your mom surfs as good as you do...
It's another when your mom
surfs better than you do.
