Maybe its because he's been punishing waves

I'm an indifferent surfer. In waves this size I prefer to be in a kayak. Since neither my brother nor any of my friends got any decent pictures of me you'll just have to visualize this kayaker and pretend that I am him (but of course, twice as gnarcore)

I took some shots of Long Beach itself in the full moon

Surfing takes energy. Cinnamon Buns from the Common Loaf with healthy amounts of butter and good coffee provide that energy

Every year some friends of mine get out to Long Beach to go surfing. Every year, despite the fact they book a place to stay in November, they have good weather. This was no exception.

My brother and I made the trek out from Vancouver and were there for three and a half days. We had good weather ...

I don't post much but Vic was one of the first people I met at Nitinat when I first started going some 15 years ago. My condolences.

About time you got some sailing in Dave. I'm open for weekend of Jul 23 - 24

Some of the regulars will recognize these names - Fish, Starboard Steve, Duncan Guy.

Wish I had a working scanner to put up the pics of me and Downwind Dave from our baja glorydays

I really like this one of DuncanGuy throwing the hate vulcans ...
