Surfs Up!

It has been ages since I blogged, but today and am Jonesin' like you would not believe. After a long, waveless summer (which is typical on the east coast), the Nor'easter Gods have smiled on us this morning and granted us EPIC WAVES! Sets are now coming in at overhead to double-overhead (8' - 10') and in perfect shape with the westerly, offshore winds. I am packed up and heading out to meet some friends and, provided I survive , I will post photos and a report later today. To give you an idea of what we will be seeing out there today, here is a photo fromthe last great swell which occurred in fall '06.

Shape of things to come

Oh, an by the way, I surf in a kayak these days, so if you have never seen someone do this, you definitely will want to check back. I also have a new water proof camera that takes 30 fps mpegs, so hopefully we will have some good videos as well.

See you on the other side!

 

OK, so I am back from the Beach. Surf was fun, but not nearly as big as we had hoped. Here are a few pics. I tried to get some video from the water with my new camera, but need to work on technique. Enjoy.

Let's see the vids! I do quite a bit of flatwater kayaking. Love to try surf kayaking some time. The closest I get is when some a$$hole blasts through the no wake zone on my lake in a powerboat.
