Surfboard Exhibit @ the shop
may 16 October 24 Friday 5:30 -
8:30 It was fun.. great weather, sunset, bombed a hill too. Do another levee ride soon. SPECIAL EVENT: Longboarding on the Levee When: Saturday, October 11 (This Saturday!) 6:00 – Sunset Where: The “fly” (behind the Zoo by the river) Bring
your longboard or skateboard to the fly look for the
“van” and we’ll cruise the levee to the
Jefferson parish line and back. Sept 10? Hey how's it going im
currently living and working in galliano and today i
decided after work i would go down and check out fourchon
for some surf. So i head down and when i get there the
place got pretty beat up, i continue to the beach and see
large tents with people loading stuff into 18 wheelers
right before the bridge. I could see the bridge was
closed so i parked switched into my trunks grabbed my
board and ran for the bridge. What i saw next completely
shocked me, as i was walking across the bridge i could
hear the roar of massive waves and see a whole lot of
white. I quickly ran barefoot from the bridge to the
beach entrance. When i got there i found that the beach
was completely gone and the wave were massive, sloppy and
mushy but massive. The waves were crashing into those
concrete bag things under them was a slanted brick wall
where the sand use to be. Some waves would roll up the
wall then back down creating a south bound wave that
would crash into the ones coming in, creating this huge
10 foot spray. I stood and observed for awhile, the waves
past the rock jetties had 10 foot faces on the easy, the
ones closer to the beach would form real clean at about 5
to 6 foot tall and look almost perfect then break over
into a kinda mush but rideable wave. So i stood there
alone thinking about jumping in and going for it but in
the back of my mind i was like man i could easily get
drug out to sea and no one would ever know. I didn't have
my lease because i left it in my bros truck so i would
have with out a doubt crashed my board into the brick
wall. So i continued to think about it, threw a jug in
the water to see if the current was real bad and it
didn't seam to be, but eventually a wave caught the jug
and slammed it into the concrete wall. I continued to
watch and think and then all of a sudden i hear GET YOUR
CRAP AND GET OUT OF HERE!!! I look back and a port police
had busted me. He then told me south of the flood gates
was a mandatory evac and that i needed to get out of
here. So i gather my things and start the walk back to
the bridge. So if anyone ask about going down that way to
surf its completely out of the question. Its probably a
good thing i got busted, could be out in the middle of
the gulf right now if not for that. Also i attached some
pics. Notice the white in the distance from the bridge
pics.
Deep in the heart... mucho macho gustav.
