Daily Surf Report - 3/10/2011

Closing at 2:00pm today due to bad weather.
As of 10:30am the sunny skies have given way to light drizzle.

We have partially sunny skies with slight overcast and a current temp or 52F. Looks like it should turn into a nice day and warm up a bit. There is no wind and ocean surface is relatively smooth.

Channel/Groin: Thigh high waves, breaking smoothly, with a few longboarders out catching them. Picked up yesterday with the incomimg tide and there were some fun lefts off both Channel and Groin sandbars to ride.

Patch: Not much going on yet in this spot. Tide is currently too low. There are small sets about ankle high breaking far outside.

Both spots should improve with the incoming tide.

NEWS: Mini Simmons Surfboards -
With the return of retro and classic surfboards, many surfers love the feel of riding a Mini Simmons board. Based on the early designs of Bob Simmons, who was light years ahead of his peers, the boards were considered revolutionary at the time. They have enjoyed resurgence in the last few years with a massive decrease in their length, and a modernization of their features. The best way to describe these boards is short and wide. The board is a revelation to ride. They are loose, oh so skatey and the fastest board you’ll feel under your feet - period.
Designed so that even the heaviest of riders can go small in size, these boards are ridden ridiculously small, rarely getting over the 6’0” mark. An awesome alternative to the swallow-tail fish which can tend to be tippy and doesn’t handle bigger surf well.
Vernor Surfboards is blending old and new ideas together with this board. Featuring a displacement hull with almost no rocker and improved by ending the tail with a double concave and a 4-fin setup. Come by the shop on Saturday, 3/12/2011, to meet the shaper and be one of the first to get your hands on the boards. David will be in the shop to show boards and answer questions from 10am - Noon.

We have new locally shaped SK8 Hand Planes in the shop made from recycled skateboards. Pair it with a set of Churchill fins and you will always have a smile on your face after your session. Each plane is unique and has individual signed artwork. Come by the shop and check them out. Makes a great gift for the surfer in the family.

Awesome board bags from Deeper Visions are flying out the door. Hand-made by a local Bolinas artist. A perfect way to store your board and all are one of a kind. Check out our current selection or ask about a custom order.

Just a reminder to pack your trash!!! PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. Respect the Beach.
