Nice article. Buoy information about the stuff he talks about is actually available via the CDIP buoys. If you like looking at numbers, you can actually predict swell quality as well. Check out http://cdip.ucsd.edu/?nav=recent&sub=observed&stn=100&stream=p1&xitem=de

Teaser for Brian Conoly's, My Eyes Won't Dry 3. I hope he mixes it up with some B roll and 2nd angles a bit on this one, but even if he doesn't, it's gonna be amazing.

Kiribati warned that by the end of the century, their country would be underwater, due to global warming. They should start on this Maritime colony project now. Anyone surf there?

The Jet Stream as viewed from the South pole gives a pretty clear indication of why the next few weeks is going to be pretty small. What we need, is a trough from under NZ to halfway across the Atlantic, then a northward spike pointing directly at us.

46% of White shark attacks were on divers, but in attacks in which the victim was collecting marine creatures, only 10% of attacks were against urchin divers. Abalone divers didn't fair so well though in this statistic, as 56% of those attacks were against them.

The Cali Department of Fish and Game has an Urchin Fishery page which contains some really interesting info: The number one diver in 2006 brought in 233 thousand pounds, worth 118 thousand dollars. Another tidbit: The total California catch has declined dramatically from 25 million pounds in 1991 to 7.5 million pounds in 2003.
