It's a small island, i bet i can find my way around. From what I've heard it's gotta have perfect winds or it's worthless. I may as well stay home again, hopefully there won't be anymore kayak wars.

East trajectory is good.
Morning from down island.
Fortress should be good.
The "illegal" spot at MTK should be great again.
Holy crap I love surfing. Last weekend was all survival for me. I didn't find any real good shoulders and was mostly stinkbugging at a million miles an hour trying to outrun closeouts. Which is fun, but I like to be the hunter and Bill definitely had the upper hand.
But today! Peaks galore, head-high drops and long chest-to-shoulder lines (for here). After last weekend this stuff seems as powerful as wind chop, so I'm way more aggro, and there are peaks galore.
I'm exhausted. Rides so long you basically paddle all the way out after every ride.
Eating an apple after this then getting after it.
Aroo.
J-
Maybe head-high was pushing it. Still super fun and clean. And empty -- just one other guy out where I was shralping.
Eating lunch, checking in at the office, then hopefully an afternoon shralp before the wife and kids show up.
It's pretty sweet staying 50 feet from the beach :). Wish I could do this all the time.
Way to get after it.
Had an unexpected day off here, so I headed up the coast in the morning. Two sessions of glassy, fun, and sometimes thick head high surf. It was supposed to be flat today - in between swells. Ooops. Might grab a third after a CostCo run.
Maybe the best day ever for me in terms of quality. 4 sessions total.
3rd Session: offshore wind picked up in the afternoon. Steeper drops, stronger bottom turns. May have even thrown a coupe buckets but probably not. Blue water. Pelicans "riding" the wave, 6 inches in front of it. Dolphins and shit.
4th Session, almost sunset: A buddy showed up with his Longboard so I busted out my wife's foam BZ. We were backdropped by a full rainbow, which is appropriate since I was on a big pink foamie. I don't care if I look like a kook -- those things are fun. Turns sharper than my longboard and I'll drop in on anything. Plus it's fun stealing waves from the kids on shortboards.
I am so happy. /blog

It's like rocking some skinny skis, or an old-timey snowboard. A little campy, not optimal, and being on it makes me appreciate my shortboard. Heck, after today I'd almost rather ride it than my longboard.Quote:

Hopefully there will be some leftovers tomorrow so I can shralp with Mrs. Frizzo. If it's as clean as it was today but a little smaller she'll have the time of her life.
J-
Its raining its pouring I'm going to Montauk.
Back hopefully with pics soon.
R.I. is really blown-out, with kooksticks galore. Still blowing strong SE
Rain is keeping the kooks out of the water on LI.Quote:

Tomorrow will be better.
Surfed tonight in NH, pretty small waist high maybe some chest sets. Sheltered spot, but still had 25 mph gusts to the face which sucked. Tmro looks good in the morning up here.
Well, who in their right mind wants to get wet? It is not like you can surf with an umbrella.Quote:

Was pretty lame-o earlier but on a whim we went to the beach since the rain stopped and it was nice out. Small army of locals out ripping up head+ surf.
Good shit. Forgot the DSLR, couple P&S shots to come.
Gonna go out tomorrow am before working. It should be firing pretty well still then.
Right, that would be an atrocity.Quote:

To Maine, Danny brought fun - but windy and somewhat sideshore - surf on Saturday, and very fun, foot overhead or so stuff on Sunday am, with very clean, but fun waist-chest leftovers this am.
Sunday was so good at the midcoast breaks in Maine. Saturday was blown out and more chop than not, but Sunday a certain point was perfection. Endless shoulder to overhead peaks spilling right. Super long rides, and literally no end to the wave train.
Nice to hear! I almost made the trip up there yesterday...did the winds cooperate? They turned south down here pretty early.
So as I was saying, Saturday MTK was pretty lame, went back to the apt then walked around town for a bit then decided to zip out to Sagg Main and see what it looked like.
Of course I left the DSLR sitting in the living room.

Sunday AM was much smaller, just a quick burst for LI!
Danny served up some weak sauce in Chatham :nonono2:

in college, we used to say "Yount!" if something was lame, if it....SUCKED !
yeah, I know these guys :wink:
Bad swell direction for the Cape.Quote:

With Hurricane Bill barreling up the coast but well offshore, Florida will be getting some epic surf this weekend. Looks like Sunday in Cocoa is forecast to be head high and glassy with light offshores. If it holds up, or even comes close to that, me, GA Animal and Frankie Facerider will be in Cocoa in front of Island tearing it up for dawn patrol. All are welcome to join and it will be good to have the Florida Paddle Gang all together again. Im trying to get Slim Willy to join us too.
Saturday I will be local at Boynton not sure when, yet and as always, anyone is welcome to join me there too.
caught a quick sess at rye on the rocks. really fun and clean with 2 guys out.
