Good on you

In the Spirit of Career Eyes

Here is one possible eye for one Cobb's career.   Is this actually a career eye?



Comments please.

From the Leo Burnett Where Are They Now file

While the man sometimes known to say, "Keep Cobbing and Good Things will Happen" is crowned "The Next Big Thing"(bravo cobber!), here's what's happening elsewhere in the ad universe...

rico's surfographic

Here's an infographic summarizing my surfing in 2012. My goal was to surf 100 times during the year so I give myself a B-. I am going to have to work a little harder at it in 2013. ~rico

Dream realized

After years of preparation, the first generational third world Latin American surf trip to Bocas del Toro. Sam & Kiko found swell & brought stoke. Strength took a back seat. And, yes - that is a left.

Santa Left Something Under the Tree

Some Jews celebrate Christmas with Chinese food and a movie.  Others prefer sliders and barrilitos.

But don't be fooled by the first photo, there was more "taking" than "giving" by the locals on this holiday.  Nonetheless, a few tidy gifts presented themselves.

So much for the spirit of Christmas in the line-up....

Very Strong

Little known fact Re: Obama's election

Outside of exerting our constitutional rights to vote for the President of the United States (at least those of us that don't live in a Commonwealth), it's a little know fact that a "dream team" of  COBS [sic] were instrumental in helping Barak Obama win his second term as President.

Self-portrait in Robe

In SB loving my vaporizer, listening to classic Grateful Dead ~69', strolling the grounds. Hopefully, a Hammonds session tomorrow. My natural is not in nearly the state of disrepair it appears in this photo.

PS-The Hammonds sessions were excellent as the swell had so much west in it, the word "classic" was being used liberally by people in the line up. A much less serious and soulful crowd then in North County. Meanwhile coming down the coast every single spot we passed was firing.

 This is a shot from late afternoon yesterday in front of the Biltmore.

Smokin Jay Cutler

For some reason these photos of Jay Cutler working out have gone viral. In any case he appears to work out vigorously. Pony if you hire this guy I expect a finder fee.

Yikes

Not quite sure what to make of this forecast for NW PR.

It's too soon to tell, but TS Sandy may send some death swell from an unusual direction.  How fitting for the Marea de los Muertos which always seems to deliver a punch around Halloween. The downside is that this swell direction, plus what are the highest tides of the year, will probably wreak  extreme havoc on our beaches.  This could be the kind of event that leaves a permanent scar.

Not the Same

Sans Cobbs, it's just not the same.  But there is still some J in surfing a new and somewhat secluded spot on what's been called "The Lost Coast."  This shot hardly describes the remarkable staircase leading down through cliffside scrub and jungle to a pocket beach surrounded by bluffs and featuring a righthander that vacilated between bowling waves, closeouts and loggable walls.

Respect

Hug It - Always Go Left

Just Hug It

Uh..oooh! Look out Esteban!

Well, it looks like the Maloguas picked the right week not to make a lightening strike to Mag Bay. Who only knows what is going on there right now as Steve and the Crew prepare for a direct hit from Cat 3 Miriam. Meanwhile SoCal is looking at an extended run of South Swell through next week as Miriam and a long period South come home to roost. 

Going Left!

Well well well, finally another goofey foot.

We still (b)log

A log alert was issued at Antonio's this morning.

This cobb enjoyed a solo session until...

 joining the owner of this other log for a few slides at the parking lot

Meanwhile, at the Dome...

there was nothing solo or soulful going on.

Doesn't Say Anything About Loggers or Maloguas

Eat Meat, Pull, Pray

Goldenwest Thursday

The water was 70, air was 80, the waves were awesome only problem....no Cobbs! Leon just so you know, it happens here too.

For your consideration

Abe and Noa's swim teacher was given this Malogua for his 16th birthday and it was 4 years old. He is now 35 and has been driving it ever since. The car's odometer stopped working 7 years ago at 250k. He's put in 2 transmissions and 3 engines himself , I think he may have done the paint as well.
