Inspirational Quote of the Day:
“The more light you allow within you, the brighter the world you live in will be.” - Shakti Gawain

Unearthed rock patterns from traveling sand, the lady lays high and proud. Orange yellow sun reflections on ruffled surfaces deep and blue a cold morning invitation. Seaweed scents flowing in the breeze, green and shiny to the touch of nosy four legged friends. A calm sure footed step from owners behind, dressed in layers, keeping the 49 morning chill at bay. Expansive views near and far, a familiar weekday setting as most have traveled back to their origins. A select few dot the horizon, dressed in black soul searching.

CHANNEL: NW and SW angled swell not yet reaching Channel proper in form. Textured patterns on the surface, with shin height white water foaming through. Not enough energy for those with salty intentions in the current tide. Though seals swim and play having the playground all to themselves. As water fills in, so should mole hills begin to form.

PATCH: Black speckled pixies dot the horizon far passed the meeting rock, hovering and waiting to take flight. Long pauses and restful waiting, finally momentum arrives in groups of 5. With an extra paddle and a little luck, the journey to shore is long.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
“In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.” - Miguel de Cervantes

Orange yellow rising sun peeking over roof tops as cars of every year, make and model creep in, only to discover all space is taken. Jam packed like a can of sardines, the masses stretch neoprene over exposed body parts at a fast pace, rushing to join forces. Cool morning temps, an eight reading on the white finger scale, beginning at 49 and not climbing beyond 60 mid-day. Wind is at a snails pace for now, though leaves are shaking above soon to take flight. Fall has moved in and is here to stay for awhile.

CHANNEL: Everyone and their mom is out in full force hoping to get a salty morning nugget. NW and SW working together with in the fast in-coming tide, resulting in chest close out waves. Fast on the take off, angled just right, remember to bend at the knees as the white water approaches. Keep in mind priority to the peak and practice wave etiquette.

PATCH: For the very fist time in my life, I had the pleasure of meeting three black squirrels. Because their sounds were unfamiliar to me, I just watched and listened for a while. Then I began to mimic their tones. That seemed to puzzle them. They watched and listened to me. But we all seemed to move a little HIGHER…the three squirrels to the treetops and I to blissful joy. All four creatures left wondering?

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
“How can I help you? I don’t know, you called me” - Unknown

Ahhhh. What number were you calling? Call and response overhead from those on the wire and their cousins in the trees. The potato chip dipper senses a change in sunrise crispness. Expectation of blowout is defied by heart warming combo lines. Yes, that is a petite keggable nugget. Sure, that’ll move a hazardous telephone pole. Those who allowed themselves to be carried through the 1’s magical, uh, labyrinthine attraction are scoring in a Magnificent. Real magnificent way. Undulation, the idea. Beware the ways in which you fill the time between ‘em. And, if you can, answer the call, the salty potion is a castle today and remains protected for now. Cave of The Winds. Behold the Magnificent Cave of the Winds.

CHANNEL: Quepos Jetty 2.0.

PATCH: It is here. Be here. Leave your turbine, your kite, your wings, your flight, your propeller, your fall leaves, your limp airport windsock, your sails. It’s not at your back. You can spit and it’ll fall near your feet. Do not delay. Do not rush.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
“It’s been taught that your worst enemy couldn’t harm you as much as your own wicked thoughts.” – Wu Tang Clan

Within the mist, the morning has arrived. Cozy caps and wet roads remind us that there is no consistency left to rely on, however the water temperature remains warm. Spots are filling up in the yard, but there’s always room for a couple of lawn chairs. Be wary as a beach goer and know the tides like the bottom of your sock. Perigee moon has an effect on tidal movement that we all wish to understand in detail. The waves come up, the waves go down. How much more often will you come around?

CHANNEL: Set after set sneak in with little time in-between. Light winds blow through and cause little damage, but an element is missing. Little lefts are possible but shape and height are lacking in comparison to yesterday evening. Don’t live in the past, leave that to your previous self.

PATCH: There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
”Look up at the stars, not down at your feet.” - Stephen Hawking

Though the mercury reads 61F, the BO suddenly feels a million miles from the endless summer as low pressure and fog surrounds. SW winds join the fray and while the heat relief is welcome the current sea views are hardly striking inspiration in the hearts of ready sliders. Shapes and shadows are present along with cooperative swell though the lower tide and current gusts are mostly responsible for the decrease in stoke potential this morning.

CHANNEL: A windswept swirl of sorrow with mostly whitecaps being offered this day. The steel pole stands a rigid guardian and protector of all who venture forth. A gridlock of windswell has hopes backed up for miles. As the day meanders along, increasing water levels may raise your possibility of a lunch buffet if nourishment is required.

PATCH: Unknown seekers in the grey gloom find solace in the sea though the act of doing remains questionable. There is little to sustain a sliders needs, wants and desires but some days a little is enough and that is truth today. It’s a terrible beauty to behold.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
”Keep walking and keep smiling.” - Tiny Tim

Moon slivers and no shivers as the sky turns pink and the temp rises. Full sunshine and not a wisp of wind. Fishing vessels dot a clear horizon while early sliders try to manage time and tide. A literal calm embraces the morning though competing swells contend to draw one’s attention. Unlock the secrets if you know the code but act in the moment before water levels impede stoke.

CHANNEL: Bright reflections and shielded eyes as rays careen off silken surfaces. A determined few are currently hunting and finding suitable slides on the deeper bar engagements. Well inside along the Mali-Bo corridor efforts are being made though the rewards are few. Rising water levels may close the windows now being squeezed through.

PATCH: A forlorn and lonely Patch greets the seekers and sliders while all eyes gaze upon the field of play. Meager movements stirs the hearts and rumblings can be seen in the further reaches. Those that know retreat to stretch rubber over limbs and employ trusted foam under weathered feet. Time waits for none and the time may well be now.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
”It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald

Crystal clear blue far and wide with sharp tree shadow figures etched in stone while the sun shines bright in all her morning glory. Two neon green vests take up center space with three legged brackets measuring space unknown. One by one, traveling school buses take turns and give way while walking dogs guide owners around. Descending down the ramp, blinding sun reflections bounce off the oceans surface, squinting tight to see. Calm and glassy at first glance, careful not to look for too long, for the florescent lights strength will last with eyelids closed.

CHANNEL: Channel proper’s raising its full flag as the in-coming high tide is soon to crest under the shining sun. NW and mild SW swell meander on the horizon shy to make a grand entrance. Slow in energy, waves roll in the ankle height, almost enough to shoot the pole. Waiting is the name of the game and those who do will be rewarded this afternoon.

PATCH: The far outside meeting rock is camouflaged with a liquid blanket, laying flat and far reaching. Pelicans have claimed the space, circling around and diving for treats. Designated as a food court for now, look again this afternoon, for slips and slides.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
”You can’t start a fire without a spark.” - Bruce Springsteen

Gray and thick, sitting in silence waiting for the burn off to begin as a new week ushers forward. Yellow bus pickup-ups, the first signal priorities are well underway as commuters follow closely behind. Temps remain tepid, beginning at 54 and climbing to 77 late afternoon, while celebrating pumpkin spice latte season, first hot then cold. The initial delicious sip, a friendly reminder that fall is coming while we bask in the afternoon glow. For now sit back and enjoy the still quiet of what summer remains.

CHANNEL: High tide cresting in the early hours as thick fog socks in the view. Tiny slivers of damp sand remain barely walk-able while the ocean chases the wall. NW swell no match for the rising tide resulting in sloshy sideways movement. Best to remain high up top for now and check back again with lower levels mid-day.

Values and tones of zen stones

Find repose and peace

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
”There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” - Edith Wharton

Peasouper haze inching low concealing morning sun salutations as dawn breaks a new day. Eerie and still, not a breath of wind penetrates statuesque tree leaves dangling high. Word of mouth rumors traveling far of misguided information, for no great big reveal can be seen from beyond the ramp. Packed in, sitting and waiting, like a cloud of disappointment, the fog is thick and the swell is still. Suited and booted, the mindset is re-calibrated while taking forward steps to sea.

CHANNEL: Foggy silhouettes sprinkle the horizon, counting to 20 before movement can be seen. The waiting room is full and the numbers are slow to be called for the next customer. NW swell rolling in the shin to knee height as the SW swell has moved on. Settle in, for there are no quick answers this morning.

PATCH: A dedicated group sit in waiting, meditating while visualizing what they yearn. More sitting than standing ocean motion remains a mystery. Questioning their position, a single line seen, only to disappear before trying. Believe in the mission and one counts for a session

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
”The secret of happiness is to count your blessings while others are adding up their troubles.” - William Penn

Still feels like summer as the air remains mild and rays of salvation and sunlight bathe the land. Again the winds stay quiet and all tendencies blow warm from the NE. Tides remain elevated throughout the entire day and well measured stoke is evidenced early and often. Parking near nil while kayak fishing brigade descends and clogs the ramp of destiny. Something wicked this way comes, every forward we push.

CHANNEL: Early solitary figures sit atop foam and resin while others stand tallest with carbon paddle in hands. Occupying the same space is a stretch at any time and consternation is palpable as all gaze upon a clear horizon. Black clad warriors seek and search for shapes of merit and length. Those that are successful find strenuous efforts yielding the most results in lefts that form along the Channel bars. All seek justice, none will be denied.

PATCH: Many eyes scan the Patch for rumblings beyond the minor movements present. The playing field is wide open and with positive tides one can easily venture forth with most confidence. Shapes can and do reveal themselves if your inner and outer alignment are pure. Bigger logs are better but that is old and obvious advice.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
”Good actions are a guard against the blows of adversity.” - Abu Bakr

Striking views from higher perches instills inspiration in the hearts of sliders. Sunlit, cool, calm and beautiful by any measurable standard. Joyous beings begin the dance with damp neoprene and achy joints to once again realize stoke and happiness all at the same time. Watch the winds, as they will show the way, and act as creator or destroyer.

CHANNEL: Those in search of a meat-n-three are being served soup-n-salad this morning. Still enough energy to foster and sustain a hungry individual but the satisfaction scale dips. Enough new swell on the radar to maintain long term interest but leave the fish in the car and bring the log out for your initial session. God only knows what I’d be without you.

PATCH: Micro peelers and faith healers meet in mid-level waters concurrently. It may seem only the need to be among the creatures of the sea that sustains these sliders but know that the stoke comes from within and around. Mild shapes inspire the swinging of arms and rotation of shoulders. Tide and time always yields benefits, until they don’t.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
”If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything.” - Malcolm X

Early tranquility as morning descends to light the village and reveal the pathways. Still and quiet with no winds and temp holding firm at 50F. Tides relatively unwavering in their ebbs and flows so playing the wall waiting game is no option. Small swell renewal from multiple angles makes the choice both easy and hard at the same time with nothing notable tipping scales in either direction. The once crippled now stand fully erect and all almost seems right in the world.

CHANNEL: In the long moments just after dawn, the foam and glass sparkles in the fine light. Early activation by the motivated few garners salty satisfaction among the lurching lefts along the Groin bar. Steel pole lineup markers set the tone with randomized peaks around the outskirts. All seekers should be able to find some form of stoke though in heights best comporting to knee high.

PATCH: Patch Whisperers conjuring slides are warranted for the in-between minutes. Rides measured in slow yardage are the current state of the union but are enough to bring forth smiles. Periodic pulses keep the interest alive and all rocks are submerged and will remain covered until the evening low tide swing.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
”Never complain. Never explain.” - Katharine Hepburn

Dampened sand carpet covering, climbing upward to sneak a peek. Settling in under golden rays, two friends hatch a plan for the next few hours that will last a life time in memory. Buttery soft, a four legged playmate joins in on the conversation for attention. Small angled ripples off to the left in the distance, with just enough crumbling finish to work. With only one out, how can you not be eager to join in? The more the merrier, when starting with one and adding to the mix two.

CHANNEL: Glassy reflections in prism rainbow colors bounce off the surface as the sun rises in all her morning glory. NW swell a little shy, though slightly coming out of her shell, resulting in shin to knee lefts just outside of the pole. One lone worshiper out as another is almost ready. An extra paddle is all it takes to slide to the finish.

PATCH: Hit the snooze button once more and reposition for comfort. Tides hold the key to enlightenment and afternoon delight is the name of the game. Finish morning honey-do’s for play time later.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
”Change is the only constant. Learn to surf your life instead of planting your feet.” - Amy Poehler

Dampened pathways hissing under radial tires with a hint of permeated asphalt floating in the air. Humid and thick, the ocean breeze is all but a pitter-patter, while the sun shy’s away behind gray. Mail truck drop-offs lined up waiting in turn for the switch over, bottle necking the exit. Resounding silence casting its blanket over our tiny town, slow to wake up. Parking is open without any takers, ensuring an easy school bus stop pickup. From atop the wall, a sense that fall is near, with changing colored hues in different directions and patterns.

CHANNEL: NW swell getting lost in translation with the churning current. Overnight atmospheric disturbances, resulting in unsettled break patterns across Channel proper. No strong peaks to hold able bodied prone paddlers, as two warriors try with all their might. Forward movement resembling wave like shapes, sluggishly roll in the ankle height. Best to hit the snooze button once more and measure again in the afternoon.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
”It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.” - Agatha Christie

Swirled gray mixed up in blue while the rising sun plays hide and seek with the setting moon. A settled calm for now, soon to be gone, as the great chill down begins. Scattered spaces open for business, while a handful of dawn patrol regulars peel down reaching for terry cloth coverings. Down the ramp into the sandy abyss, a single sail boat anchored sitting still on the surface. Staring to the left then right, questioning which direction to go, confused where to begin. A deep breath is all that it takes to set in motion the adventure in which you begin.

CHANNEL: Glassy surfaces with tiny white water crumbles spread out Channel proper. Low tide not doing any favors to the NW swell, as waves roll in the ankle to shin height. Little push of forward movement and sloshy beginnings, result in short rides as long as your commit to the extra paddle.

PATCH: 5 bobbing speckles on the horizon, far past the meeting rock sitting and waiting. As seconds turn into minutes, the waiting room widens and numbers aren’t being called for the next customer. Try again this afternoon when the new shift begins.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
”Much success to you, even if you wish me the opposite.” - Nas

Cheese ball oranges itself prior to speed of orbit sink. Half wheel un-whole by horizon from this viewpoint only. Then it’s gone but the grip tightens. Filled to the brim with this Remanence, all that’s left to do is smile. So spread it around like melted butter. Welcome to the Other Side, where the weekend breakfast tumbles into olfactory streets and tweets are really tweets. Pause. The inevitable will be here when you get here, take note of the ride, step, or peddle. Don’t rush it.

CHANNEL: Watching, waiting, commiserating.

PATCH: Scratch the itch later, some scratch the itch now. Reaching far, they show us that a slide with a pump is a slide.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
”Yesterday is but today’s memory, tomorrow is today’s dream.” - Khalil Gibran

In light I shed, warmth feels like a full belly - smooth and satisfying; tranquility now brings pause as hours changed bring packed heat in dual forms. Superstition may bring halt but it is in these moments of awe that the real joy begins. A day to expand as out there and in here as days past flee into time like my own words. Today is a Friday and expectations soar but today is a number of 13, a wonder of primes that is, where shall we end if we are searching for the beginning?

CHANNEL: Forgotten as whispers written in sand are that which brings crowds running. We all saw its promise and more than usual heeded the warning. Throw the ego into the ether and that which gives you pause; this is not a day for heros but rather aliens.

PATCH: It’s the palate transformed when day chases night, the moments when - almost as smoothly as you converse with the morning light - we begin to speak in shadows. Minutes are noted by a peaceful interlude, taken over by power fading. Each to their own, it is the eyes that take pleasure - the soul nourished. Your judgements are not necessary.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
”All things are difficult before they are easy.” - Thomas Fuller

A yielding calm and cool of 52F finds us this day in the village. Tides are on the rise with the starting lineups slow to reach capacity though parking is alarmingly in short supply. Opportunities remain on the menu though now served up by a short-order cook, and perhaps not quite the same chef that started the week behind the grill. The soul can still be nourished by simple foods and minor pleasures while the slider’s mind is driven towards madness.

CHANNEL: An early area of solitude and disappointment save for doggos running wild and free. Though not the huddled masses of the past 48, a mild bunch does gather to seek salvation. Initial actions are stare and contemplate options while a retreated tide mulls its comeback. Evening hollowness not evident in the morning hours but stories and tales of monuments of indulgence abound. Where will you be when the next swell hits?

PATCH: Oh, I’m being followed by a moonshadow, moodshadow, moonshadow. Leapin’ and a hoppin’ on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow. Yes I’m being followed by a moonshadow, moodshadow, moonshadow. Leapin’ and a hoppin’ on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
”If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.” - JRR Tolkien

Cool, pristine quiet broken by the sounds of rubbing wax and stretching neoprene as early birds seek the worm and slides while the tide still gently slumbers. Chaos reigns in these first hours and finding vacancy is near impossible. Swells regroup and advance though with newfound angles and periods of inception. Water levels are the key component this day and will have sufficiently filled by the time this report is filed in the Records Room. Winds are hushed in the moment but have the propensity to blow at the least needed times. If you fit in - get in.

CHANNEL: Low energy startup with the tide just now making its way back to level and above. A crumbling left of mild consequence makes itself known to a steadfast trio who must contend with passing minutes between, as the sun breaks free over the ridge. Keep the focused lens on the bar while the hours pass as the tidal rhythms will benefit all seekers in the long run.

PATCH: Gridlock beginning to occur as traffic backs up en route and upon the seas. You are either in the water, on the way or will be here soon as the lineup will be measured by arena seating. It will happen, with or without you and all your closest friends. Watch on the left and right and know that foam and epoxy will fly fast and free this day. Staggered sequences eventually allow you to enjoy peeling sets of heights worth savoring.
