Remember that guy that thought he could surf big Harbor and ended up washed in at King Salmon? He had to hitchhike back around the bay to the parking lot? Meanwhile the Coast Guard helicopter and boats were searching for him? And remember those two guys who thought they’d surf whitewater at Power Poles, but ended up washed down the spit, unable to get to shore? The Coast Guard had to pluck them from the water. And that girl who thought she’d ride foam at the Jetty and got sucked into the rip? She screamed for help and was lucky a couple Coasties were nearby to rescue her. And all the people who’ve been too close when the big waves hit and ended up dead or close to it? Be smart out there, folks. The ocean puts on a good show. If you’re not an experienced big wave surfer, sit back and watch the show from a safe distance.

Please come out to help ensure this free, all ages monthly event can continue! We need to show we have your support! Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and movies start at 7 p.m.


Tonight, Surfrider presents Stylemasters: “Journey back to an era of change, when boards became shorter and movements more radical. Shot in the late ’70s STYLEMASTERS chronicles the progression of surfing in this pivotal time, documenting the lifestyle and performance of some of the most influential surfers ever.”

Coming in December: Dear & Yonder. “Created by Tiffany Campbell and Andria Lessler, the movie features a diverse cast of daring ladies united by their love of the sea.”

In January: The Cove, “a 2009 exposé of the annual killing of about 2,300 dolphins in a National Park at Taiji, Wakayama in Japan. The film was directed by former National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyos, and was filmed secretly during 2007 using underwater microphones and high-definition cameras disguised as rocks.”

The monthly event is sponsored by Humboldt Surfrider, Ocean Conservancy and Humboldt Baykeeper .

View November’s Meeting minutes here.

For years, humans have thought of great white sharks wandering the sea at random, only occasionally venturing close to shore. We were wrong.

Full story here.

More shark news, including photos of one breaching, here.

Enjoy!

Yes, meeting tonight. 6 p.m. Plaza Grill View Room. We need you! Free beer.
