...sorry y'all.* Looks like the wave switch is stuck at the ON position. Being the relaxed South, I won't be able to get a repairman out here until at least early next week. Until then you're going to have to surf everyday. Also, feel free to return to the Washout if that is your regular surfing area. Thanks.
*I don't really say y'all.

First off, I will need a work order for said repair please! Secondly, I am booked for the next 3 weeks so please allow me 4-7 weeks between the hours of 8AM to 5PM ...as we don't make specific time-of-day appointments. Oh yeah, our last job is started at 4:00 for the day with jobs typically taking only 15 to 20 minutes of constant work to complete. Y'all don't like our company policies...then move up somewhere above Virginia sum'bitch!

i need a good session after reading the BS in the newspaper. from "nancy"about how we don't mind the paid parking ,we just want to pay for an annual pass.
speak for yourself,you don't surf,(just exploit the washout).
We DONT want to pay.We DONT want a non surfer speaking for us,and if we do get a year round pass offer(gee,thanks)it shouldn't be any more than the county park.$100 a year! have to be a rich doctors wife to afford that.
Also,the esa doesn't speak for me at all. the vast majority of surfers don't butt wiggle for points.Contest represent a very small percentage of local surfers ,mostly kids and parents.Every time a surf issue arises locally they throw another bone to the contest people , like they represent surfers.The ESA used to fight battles for surfers ,years ago. now its should be called ECSA(Eastern Contest Surfers Assoc.)
If there was ever a time for civil disobedience, it is now at the parking meters at the washout. Kudos to the brave surf warriors who are fighting back.Every bill that goes in those machines should have more wax on it than your board .Maybe if the ESA stood up this wouldn't be the call.
Too bad you can't turn OFF the fan switch. Nothing like a stiff, 10 knot plus, SW wind to demoralize a stomach high groundswell.
True story yesterday... 2 random folks were fixin to feed the box at random street as I was going out for a 2nd surf. I told them it was free to park right there across the street. One dude moved his car, a chick said "I don't care it's only 3 dollars". I said, "yea, and it's only 30 feet difference from where you are parking now".
She gave me the trophy college girl sneer and I mumbled something about her being a lazy idiot.
...and yea, if you usually surf the washout, please stay at the washout. Thanks again.
Yeah, I agree with the Fan comment...turn off that darn wind. Saw the camera yesterday around 10am-got the stoke, left work drove home grabbed board and was there right when the sea breeze picked up. So much for clean surf-oh well, maybe today.

What a waste of space you are. Instead of spewing your miasma at Nancy - why not direct it at the source, Mayor Beckmann?
Crying about the ESA has changed is like standing there b*tching about your flat tire - does nada to fix the problem.
Now, go feed the meter, like a good drone.
Sincerely,
follydude
now theres an analogy. sorry but nancy attempts to speak for surfers.Sorry but she don't .Maybe people who live on Folly see it differently ,since its not costing them anything, but when the esa lady says "we don't have a problem with a parking system" surfers who disagree have a duty to speak up. I do and I did. If you don't like it you can feed the meter all you want but I'm cheering on the guys sticking wax in the credit card slots.(wish I had the guts).
follystool,how can anyone be in favor of paid parking? Especially the ESA.

Pay to park will be a pleasant memory after they put the toll bridge back up.

I'm just glad the wind was off it this morning. ooooohhh what fun and no need to pay for parking as it was prior 10am-not getting into that discussion-I have real mixed feelings-But we got SURF baby-get on it before its gone.
Leave it to bunch of surfers to turn a discussion concerning a 7 day swell, which is almost unheard of in these here parts, and turn it in to bickering and negativity.
Yes it was good this morning but this Riggs guy needs to get control of the fan switch as well. While NE is much better than SW, please either turn it off, or clock it around to a setting between 310 and 350 degrees and put it on low. Thanks.
And Nancy can say whatever she wants, she's fine by me.
Hi,
I’ve been reading and enjoying your blog for sometime now. I love how your posts truly connect to your readership. I’m interested to have an interactive/link-up/post with you. I’ve written a book that you and your audience might enjoy and am preparing to do a virtual blog tour and would love an opportunity to participate on your blog.
However, my young adult book ‘Turtle Feet, Surfer’s Beat’ is only a small part of what I’m trying to build. The book itself revolves around a typical suburban teen girl, Penelope, from the States that is forced to go to Costa Rica with her parents for her father’s job assignment. Involuntarily, her parents sign up Penelope and her little brother to spend two weeks at the Leatherback turtle biological station (for ‘their own good’). Penelope, obviously isn’t pleased but forgives the horrid accommodations and the never ending bug brigade as she sees the turtle and instantly pledges to do all she can to help it from extinction. But hang ten, dudes! Penelope is about to get help. One lonely night, as she’s patrolling the beach for turtle poachers she stumbles and falls directly into the arms of the local surf champ. Together they dive into the world of surfing and marine preservation.
These days, we are constantly facing global problems that seem to be getting worse and worse daily. Living in Costa Rica, I’ve been inspired to take action. I started by writing this book and am now developing a community of teens, surfers, artists, scientist, and everyone else who is interested in working together to have fun while helping out.
I would love to join forces with you and your readers in a fun, interactive way. I will gladly write a post about your blog (and whatever you will like to plug:), plus a link with your blog to my website and blog, in return for a review of my book and/or small interview.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon. I can get a copy out to you ASAP.
Thanks so much,
Marina

Good thing it was the local surf champ Penelope ran into that "lonely" night on the beach. I can't imagine what would have happened if it had been the turtle poachers. Those are some gnarly dudes.
dont go off on nancy because your life sux.she had nothing to do with the parking meters.
speak for yourself "good karma".I think you're telling more on yourself than anyone else.If you practice good karma you probably wouldn't be so bent out of shape.
I've yet to meet a (non-resident)surfer in favor of the parking "system".Regardless of what some who seem to speak for the rest of us think.Thanks for keeping it going,we need to talk about this issue more.
"forced to move to Costa Rica" oh that poor girl.
And for spamming my blog with this turd of a book: Welcome to Turtle Feet, Surfer's Beat!
Are you ready to dive into the hard-core world of surfing, tropical romances and marine preservation?
No, I'm not ready and I hope you sell zero copies.
But Ian, what about the dolphins? sniffle sniffle......
Hi Marina!
Please go away!
Thanks!
Obviously Marina is not familiar with our ilk....she's a flaming douche for spamming. Give her hell Ian
You aint my "ilk", bro. Don't hate on Marina cause your life sux*.
...and a you're flaming douche for calling her a flaming douche.
Spam away Marina. Ian recently wrote a very touching article about dolphins using words like "slaughter", "massacre", "butcher", ""murder".
Here is an eloquent excerpt of his writing.... "Corduroy lines collide with the rugged coastline boasting steep mountains and sprawling forests plunging towards the oceans feet".
The sanctimonium brings a tear to eye..... (sniffle sniffle). I figgured Ian and Marina would bond instantly...... maybe even co-author a book together and save a few species.
lol?
I'm not a flaming douche, you're the flaming douche for calling me a flaming douche for calling her a flaming douche, and in the infamous words of Garrett Morris, I prefer Lord Douche Bag, thanks!
