Surf Report

September 3, 2008, 6:00PM - El Porto, CA

Han Solo and much of the same today. More nose dives then stands. I tried using the 10 paddling tip today, no give. My paddling was weak today, my left arm cramped up and I felt like I was swinging a noodle.

I saw my neighbor Carlos today.

Carlos (Waves hands): Hey! How were the waves?
Me: Pretty bad, heh, I did even worse.
Carlos: You surf during shark feeding time.
Me: Yeah, I read that. I need to pick better days and times. I still keep eating sh*t.
Carlos: That's the only way to learn it.
Me: (smiling) Yeah, I know. I need to go the Chart House
Carlos: We're there all the time, I was out there surfing on Monday from 1PM to 6PM. The water was chest high.
Me: I need to go out during that time, lot better surf.
Carlos: Hey you know what, who's your cell phone provider?
Me: Verizon
Carlos: Hey,*7873. Use *7873 to get free surfline surf reports. It's part of your plan. You dial in and punch in your area code and it's all there. You get all of the reports in the south bay.
Me: Whoa, thank you. I had no idea. Hey, I've been meaning to go to the Chart House, but I don't want to waste your time.
Carlos: Don't worry about that.
Me: Cool
