Fun enough early on - but not as fun as the dawn patrollers had - and look at it in the afternoon?

Jared's usually on it at 1st light but here he's dealing with a sign of Spring: afternoon mush.

outtakes & pics from the past week or so

local waves for a fun 420!

Nothing epic by any stretch, 2-3' hero waves in 45° water.

It's Greg's beach, he just lets us surf there.

Surfing '74: the Nick DeWolf Photo Archive

It's been ages since we've been treated to surfy pictures from the amazing Nick DeWolf Photo Archive.  But here are some:

Nick wasn't a surfer, so my guess is this is Sunset, just south of Topanga.

New England Surf Co. - respek!

My buds Collin & Dave have been hard at it for about 5 years now (is it?). In any case, it's a cool site and a great idea - they state it best: "Whether you're a die-hard, year long New England surfer or just lucky enough to visit our beautiful shores on holiday, we have you covered."

Check 'em out!

Anchors and Spitfires

Meanwhile down in the Ocean State, my bud jackogigante shot this cool little ditty, really capturing what a fun Winter log session can be like in New England:

catching up from the past week

Just catching up from the past week or so. Mid April and the water is still only 43°. But with the strong sun you can feel the warmth through all the rubber. It's been fun, and the Wingnose has been great - like a dragster.
Gotta run, the wind just died, it's Saturday, a swell is running, and I'm just sitting here typing away.

Motorcycle Monday

Boss CB choppa seen in downtown Beverly - it pays to push away from work, it matters that folks are still doing cool shit like this and it makes me smile when I happen upon it during lunch.

Turbine love - the tallest sister

This is the biggest of the 3, if only there were something to give you an idea of the scale of this damn thing. Don't they have names now? - but if it's anything silly forget it, I'll come up with my own. OK - Marsha, Jan, & Cindy

Looking back at the end of March

Claiming solid surf on our new sandbars, even on my 48th (tempus fugit!)

Mini Zekes are a blast
