Heart San Simeon is ON! Kim Green is reserving a spot for the two of us and our two tents. Individual campsites allow up to two cars and 8 people (there is over flow vehicle parking nearby). The camp service assigns spots -- guess we might be able to ask in advance or upon arrival to try putting us in close proximity.
Dr. Robert showed me quite a few nice surfing spots in the area. Looking forward to it!

San Simeon State Park is a way better venue for something like this than Plaskett. I live in the area and I think the group will have far better chances of success finding suitable surf in the SS area. Like Dr. Robert says, lots of good choices in a small area, and they're the types of waves I think this group will enjoy. August is considered 'Prime Time', and you couldn't have picked a better window. The park itself, despite being close to Cambria, has a decided rural feel, and I think it's a fantastic choice. It's really one of the outright gems along our stretch of the coast. See you all there, it's on the calendar and I'm looking forward to it.

Ted is coming all the way from Hawaii? Wow! That's commitment.
Other than that I am hearing a lot of crickets. Not a lot of interest from the old guard.
Tired? Water too cold? Flipper stuck in the door?

Hi,
I am planning on attending. I guess I should reserve a camping spot. I am still trying to decide on my exact schedule.

Re: Paipo Gathering in San Simeon Aug 3-5, 2012
Robert Moynier passed along some information on alternative "lodging" for those who might be adverse to camping out. Looks rather nice to me.:
Hi guys,
here's a cool place in town run by some friends of mine (serious water people).. $70 a night, can have up to 3 people.. might work for some of the Paipo people who are not into camping at the San Simeon paipo fest. See: http://www.airbnb.com/rooms/210853
Surf on!

What kind of water temps and air temps can be reasonably expected in early August in the San Simeon area? I need to figure out what kind of rubber to bring.

Re: Paipo Gathering in San Simeon Aug 3-5, 2012
Hey there..
H2o should be in the upper 50's, with air temps 10+ degrees higher.
A 4/3 suit will certainly do the trick..lighter is fine too particularly with booties and a hood.
Hope to see a pile of paipo's in early August..would love to see the different design approaches in action!

Re: Paipo Gathering in San Simeon Aug 3-5, 2012
We are having a huge heat spell, air and water, along the Eastern Seaboard. Anything like that happening along the West Coast? I might bring along a 3/2 with the 4/3. But, I do like to stay warm!
I am looking forward to the variety of boards as well.

Re: Paipo Gathering in San Simeon Aug 3-5, 2012
Today's water temp for that area was 54 degrees (out at the bouy 10+ miles offshore). It will probably be warmer in a couple of weeks. For me a 3/2 would work just fine. But I have is a 4/3, because the water up here is colder. I am very warm in 54 degrees. But yoy might used to warmer water.

I'm in a 4/3 year round because really what's the difference nowadays? Suits are way stretchier and more comfortable than the old days.

Re: Paipo Gathering in San Simeon Aug 3-5, 2012
Have wetsuit, will travel.
Got a Cypher 4/3 for 30% off. These new fangled wetsuits are really stretchy and have unusual closure mechanisms. Seems really warm - especially after wrestling with it in the dressing room. (The salesgirl had to unzip me as I was too tired after trying on four suits.)
Anybody need a ride from Orange County?

Re: Paipo Gathering in San Simeon Aug 3-5, 2012
I think the limit is two cars eight people per site so I am pretty sure we can fit a few more in reserved sites. Actually, Rod and I have one site booked, has anybody else actually reserved a spot?

Believe there is "overflow" parking that you could leave the car at Ted.kage wrote:I think the limit is two cars eight people per site so I am pretty sure we can fit a few more in reserved sites. Actually, Rod and I have one site booked, has anybody else actually reserved a spot?

What's up guys. Anyone cruising down to San Simeon from the Oakland/EastBay area or points north; and would you have space for a passenger & some ply paipos?? Will throw in gas money, beer (or beverage of your choice), and maybe even a ply paipo if you do. Let me know.
