here comes sandy

as this monstrosity nears, i don't wish only for good surf, i wish for the safety of everyone who is affected. could be interesting to say the least.

relaxation

after some hollow ones in the morning, we traveled to a mellower sandbar to relax before driving home.

myraid images from the
 past two weeks                     which    seem to    describe   surfing life in the northeast in fall  with something   close to 

perfection...

-good surf

-rocks

































and emptiness (sometimes)

new toys

james mcgraghan joined the ranks of dedicated NE water photogs last week with his new housing, and already he has been pumping out some great shots. look out for a dark shape and a yellow housing, it's jaaammmeeess!

eric dranginis and friends make fun

eric and some friends get funky and stylish on some leftover leslie at a magic point.

at easterns...

at easterns i met a really cool kid named josh richardson. he surfs the longerboards with traditional style and newshcool tricks. he surfs in georgia. his town has two spots, a pointbreak and a beachbreak. we surfed a magical heat together on the best day of the contest. he beat me, but the waves were killer, so it doesn't matter. he ended up second, and beat out the "performance" longboarders in chest to head high barrels. i got fifth, and i was happy to lose to a kid like josh. the logging world should look out for this kid, he kills it.
