The Clean-up Crew

It shouldn't be, but it happens. Sometimes, even though you think you got them all - even after an Epic Day like yesterday's Epic Sunday - a few waves slip through the cracks, and are still waiting to be ridden the next morning.

That's a job for the Clean-up Crew, Marcus, Stevie, and Joel, who while you were still sleeping, or on your way to work this morning, made sure that no wave was left behind.

Prelude

Doesn't anyone know how to read a forecast, anymore? If you want to be in your best shape for Sunday's expected first nice NE of the year, you have to make the qualifying session, which was held this morning.

No Mikey, showing-up at Noon to surf the slop that Marcus and Newbomb left you does not count as a qualifying session.

Just scroll down and you'll see what happens when you don't show-up for the game: the damn kite boarders take over our beach.

Splash

Yeah, Thursday

Bet you didn't see that coming. Bet you didn't even know you missed it. But Marcos and Ben are a little savvier than your average Lake Surfers, and for a couple hours, early Thursday morning some tasty waves were to be had.

The Sewer Pipe, of course, had it covered for you.

Hump Day

You were absolutely, positively right to stay at work today and make that money. Keep telling yourself that. Besides, they'll still be there at 5:00. Not.

Everyone remembers their first Lake ride. So will Damon.



He's not a beggar, so he can be a chooser.



Mac attack.



Thank you Mr. Gibbons, for flying Long Board Airlines, and we hope you enjoyed your flight.



There was really no excuse for short boards, today. Unless your name is Marcos The Magnificent.



If your name was Stevie Wonder, then you were probably still shook-up from that traumatic drop-in. Yet, we at The Sewer Pipe must ask the question: Is giving yourself a mouthful of Sewer Pipe water, instead of an air, a violation of surf etiquette, or just poor oral hygiene?

That's my board, and yet, I'm not on it. Why? I ask myself, why?

Was It Good For You?
