Took it right on the kisser. Not much damage for us, could have been a whole lot worse. In town they got worked, the kid’s boat made it through, a bunch weren’t as fortunate. 5/7.
That I don’t know. I wouldn’t want to be the first to try. It was worked pretty bad before. Lots of beach rearrangement and not in a good way.
The beer supply made it through with flying colors!
So you might be cut off from vehicular re-supply, and your outlook is "Dunno; fuggit"
WELL FUCKING PLAYED, LAD!

Hopefully that’s a wrap for this season. We got more rain this year then any year in the last 20.
We keep 10 days supplies, just in case. Re supply by panga if necessary...

Yes. And generator. We’ve been doing this a long time and expect this to happen so it’s not a big deal to stay prepared.
It’s much worse in areas of concentrated population like the east coast USA.

Power is usually back in a week or less; FEMA shows up and is handing sh!t out left and right. I don't understand how being on your own at the end of a potentially washed out road isn't worse than having all you need being handed to you hours after the sh!t stops flying?
Hope everyone's sh!t is okay and the sandbar situation unfcks itself. That place is key for summer success per the broader overall scheme, and having it turned to dogshit throws a monkey wrench in the planning.
What I can't get over is how I got a different answer from everyone I asked if what I saw in August was normal. Most blown away by people I'd surfed with in previous Augusts. Like, homie, how is it always bad when four years ago we were surfing quality user-friendly point surf for a week in August, and it's been good in August like all seven other times?
I'm just glad chicken salad and a smoothie was an acceptable answer when I asked ChiCho if he was open and he asked me what I wanted.
If it meanders Southeast it'll be an outstanding wave maker for some people. If it stays right off the coast and then tracks East it'll be lamer.
Surf was kinda fun today. Lot smaller than I thought it would be but the offshore wind wasn’t as strong either…kept it clean and hollow but made the short period waves even weaker though. fell on a few, got closed out on a few, got a couple of runners, and finally a brief and probably totally unstylish barrel and called it a morning
