Snuggling and puggling the donkey

After a tough dating season the SMYTH aka "donkey kong" goes back to erica "The Pug" to try to break his sexual slump.

Does the guy on the left look like he's ready for a surf contest? He looks more like he's ready for the HomeTown Buffet.Good luck Bingo Arms! You should do well in the eating contest following the donkey kong ceremony.

A word from the champ: "Smythe the Slayer"

Smythe, The Dominator and reigning champion on the DP's will be victorious once again. I expect an "all hail the chief" upon my arrival, as well as, being showered with booze and loose women!
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Please bring first aid kits as I will be slaying the competition without mercy! Maybe you guys can borrow some Zanex from Shea "The Gay" Varges to deal with the mental anguish!

Surf Report For Southern California

Friday June 2nd our next SW swell hits the coast. As you know, we’ve been talking about this swell for about two weeks now from a system that broke free from the strong grip of the southern jet near Antarctica and drifted northward to throw some energy our way. This one peaked with 35 foot seas about 4700 nautical miles from our shores. This is a nice distance from California, and since it did traverse directly northward when it peaked, there was little to no loss from angular spreading decay. Given all these factors, calculations confirm that this swell will bring some 18+ second energy to our coast with seas around 4 feet. Wave size, once factoring in shoaling, is expected to be around head high at most south facing beaches with standouts seeing sets running 2-3 feet overhead at times. YES

Please note however, that due to the long-period nature of this southerly swell (18 seconds), there will inevitably be some variation in size between south facing breaks depending on the bathymetry of each surf spot, and its corresponding shoaling and refraction properties. Slow-going longboard breaks may see size mostly chest to head high while the racier breaks see sets easily overhead.

Additionally, this swell has an angle of about 180, which will make it difficult for breaks with minimal southerly exposure to pull in some size.

Saturday the 3rd this swell will peak right before dawn, providing still some head high sets early on, and still overhead at times at standouts. By the afternoon or late morning, size will likely even out more to chest to head high.

Sunday the 4th should still see some SW energy, yet size at this point is looking to hover around chest to shoulder high with some pluses now and again.

Sunday the 4th is also facing some increasing westerly wind swell. This is from a low latitude system in the Gulf of Alaska associated with a Pacific trough of low pressure that could increase afternoon onshores this weekend. Additionally, a thermal inversion is likely from this system, which would keep many beaches blanketed in a heavy marine layer until early to mid afternoon while inland areas bask under high pressure. In either case, the wind swell will likely bring 8-second surf from 270 with waist to chest high (yet very peaky) waves. Since this is angled from direct west, south facing breaks--or those with SW’erly exposure--may see some broken up lines at times from this swell’s diffracted energy.

I'm going to open myself up to probably quite a few harrassment e-mails but s__t happens. Since I missed last year's Donkey Patrol Contest down at the Mexico House, can someone please explain how the "average" surfer (yes, a knock on my surfing talents) is going to beat the more advanced surfers such as Eddie "the great" or the crappy surfers such as Mr. "run my mouth since last contest" Smith? I've been preparing for this contest for probably a total of a day and a half, so what move do I have to pull off to win? The "ham on rye" or the "triple double superman shuffle?" Give me the rules please.

Thank you,

Marty

We should all go to Indo on a boat trip...we would be a great crew! Then we could retire the Kong for good...and Ford could get tubed!

Here is Ford "Muscle Beach" Blakely using his F-ody to "make some waves" at the pool.

Many believe Kelton Blakely may be the first "blakes" to get barreled

Ford is not considered a major contender this weekend as his surfboards are mysteriously no longer buoyant and may have trouble "floating him" through his heat against the Smyth.
