Tropical Cyclone For Sale

Talking to my friends in California and Hawaii, I've learned that the Pacific isn't cooperating right now in terms of producing swell activity. The Atlantic basin, however, seems bent on producing an oversupply of cyclones. We have Hurricane Igor spinning happily into the East Coast US window, and another system hot on his heels. There's a third system with good development potential just south of Puero Rico that we don't really need, so I'm offering it for sale here....

I know you can have one made in China for 1/4 the price, but it won't be near the quality. The Caribbean has a long history of producing the world's finest.

Offer not valid in Southern Hemisphere, reversing the rotation is a bitch.

Funny you should mention that.

I was just telling someone about what a dismal summer its been here.

week surf, cold water, lots of gloomy days, windy

its just been kind of sucky

just little teasers

I'll take three of those cyclones, ,,,,, can you gift wrap them ???

and ship them to 500 miles west of Baja

will paypal work?

do you take credit cards? American express????

''Puero'' Rico, jeez....  (note to self, proofread new topic posts 10 times cuz you can't edit)

I was thinking of a really silent auction where you guys subliminally transfer funds, or maybe Monopoly money.

I’ll wait 'till the long range/ long fetch Tasmanian swell shows at the end of this week. Otherwise…The check is in the mail.

 

ps. You CAN edit your own comments. At least it didn’t come out “Puto”.

 

pps. Talk to me come winter, perhaps we can work an exchange.

If you can edit original posts, you're ahead of me...

Ahh, Numbah One Son, AFTER the Fact…I see. When you post a comment there is a little icon at the bottom that does this for you. It looks like> edit.

Did the check clear yet?

Check out the way the Tropical depression is  possibly forecast to link up with Igor… Is this common?

I’ve never seen it before…

Can this form a  " Super Hurricane "??

The edit button does not appear on first posts, when you start a topic. Believe me, I use the edit feature on a lot of my posts because I frekwently misspell werds.

If we can find a FedEx box this thing will fit in, and if you guys come up with enough Monopoly money....

Is it a PUPE cyclone, or a EPS/Epoxy cyclone hahaha just kidding!!>

The winter we just had wasn’t very good either. I usually look for smaller waves in winter, but we didn’t get many decent swells, and even i was wishing for some winter waves. Big spell of totally tiny,unsurfable junk. Paddle fitness waaaaay down, thank god for my 7’10’'!

Here’s a couple of radar shots of Igor… How’s that  for  colorful, but dangerous   “swirls”

Kensurf, there is a strong Typhoon off French Polynesia/ Tasmania that will send swell starting to show on the West Coast by the 16th of next week. Could amount to a good clean strong swell with this long of fetch. Keep your toes crossed.

Mr. Daniel, Aye stund korektud.

This could get interesting for those of us on the west coast. By next weekend there could be a little “cross hatch” action with a push off the Aleutians at the same time the south peaks. The models show a fair chubasco in the gulf of Ak. on the 17th. Time to stock up on some wax.

May get a chance to surf good 'ol Mary’s again. She sure did shine last winter. There were a few ALL TIME days last winter.

Andale Buey!

HEy Mike I am driving to florida to try and sell my boat will be there on thurs so If you could help me out in the next month on suggesting some east coast spots I would be stoked! PM me also I was wondering if I could buy you a beer or taco while down your way a chat

Good timing, you should get here about the same time as the Igor swell. What kind of boat/where are you taking to sell?

I'll pm ya for spots, etc. The whole coast should be lit up by the weekend, you'll have lots of choices.

The system that's for sale is intensifying - asking price and shipping costs could increase...........

Crazy…so much activity going on up there!!  We’ll be right for the next few days then I might place a bid, any chance of taking old fashioned PU/PE surfboards as payment mike?

We don’t have one for sale Mike, but we could trade one for a gaggle of beach bunnies. Whatcha got?

 

 

Hey guys, you forgot to read the fine print in post #1; "offer not valid in southern hemisphere'' ;)

But in the spirit of the thread (utter nonsense), let's see if this pic pulled from local website works:

 

FISH ON!!!
