Daily Surf Report - 3/31/2011

Another sunny and beautiful morning in Bolinas - 2 in a row! Current temp is 56F with highs in the 70s predicted. Windless with a smooth ocean surface. Still have some NW swell in the water and the start of a small but long interval S which continues to give us something to ride.

Closing at 3:00pm to attend PJHS Track meet vs. Windsor.

Channel: Rideable surf in the waist high size with sets up to chest/shoulder. Waves have a bit of a bump in them as sandbars are not fully re-formed but there is some decent energy and some good fast sections. Mini Simmons worked well today. Bars in the Channel and at the Groin pole are working.

Patch/Groin: Waves in the waist high range with longboards and SUPs catching them outside past the rock. Sunny and smooth with lots of different peaks.

NEWS: Mini Simmons Surfboards -
New batch of Mini Simmons boards are in the shop! Come by and be one of the first to get your hands on the boards. Get on one if you want to fly!

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.

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.
