NW WIND 10 TO 15 KT. WIND WAVES 2 FT. W SWELL 6 FT AT 11 SECONDS.

I grouse about onshore winds...

Cold water, wind, fickle swell...

Waves are too big, or too small...

I complain about mild crowding...

Or kooks that get in my way...

Getting backpaddled or snaked...

I moan about long drives looking for waves...

Hem and haw about paddling out in marginal conditions...

Worry about waht's under my feet I can't see...

I rarely worry about the clean water...

Now we all need to...

We've seen the pic of dead pelicans...

Heard the excuses from BP execs...

Here's a peak in Alabama...

Would you surf it?
