We sat in Scott's truck for almost an hour, staring at the waves, bemoaning the lack of planing winds, and jibbering like fools. We are wind chimps, after all. The Bowl waves looked tasty (3-5') and some surfers were catching some action, but there was a shortage of whitecaps. Finally Jeff decided to…

JUST what the doctor ordered! Oh yeah. Looking at 2-4 foot waves at Ponquogue, Scott and I (he on 98 liters and a 5.7, me 5.5 on the 109 Freestyle) had an absolutely pleasant time in the ENE wind. A little backside wave riding, the occasional jump…by no means a major session but heck:…

Consider the line in the sand. Such was the wind direction offshore last Friday, as determined by I don't know who (someone will comment soon). I hadn't yet arrived, but Frank and Scott felt it was too offshore (Frank said in the parking lot it was dead offshore btw.) This over the protestations of Jeff,…

It was cold on the beach. "Wind chill" said Scott, but I thought it was the humidity. "What works is a long hood that covers your neck," Scott continued, showing me his, which is attached to his wetsuit. Mine doesn't come more than halfway down my neck. Must go shopping…I imagine a hood/shirt combo. Jeff,…

iWindsurf says ENE teens to twenties. NOAA says SE 15-20 gusting to 25. Everyone says rain (you want The Bowl? Get your rain ticket punched.) Could be could be could be. Windsurf or SUPSailSurf. Could be.

I missed it (of course I missed it…there were waves. Story of my life these days…) but the Wolf, Scott, and Jeff were out on 5.3's at the Bowl Wednesday. "Sailed big boards from 2:30 – 3:30. Wind was due E to slightly ESE, and gusty. We alternated from nicely-powered to slogging. Bowl was mostly flat,…

I've seen a lot of angles of monster jumps, but this one really gets me. The guy is a spec in the sky! Posted by "Guavajelly" on Facebook, it is almost certainly from the insane Red Bull Storm Chase session in Cornwall. Thanks to Andy in the OBX for calling attention to it! …

I had a one hour window to sail. It wasn't windy enough when I got to K Road, so I had to bag it, even though the forecast was for building winds, and the waves looked so nice. As is my habit I asked Jeff to fill me in later on what I missed, so…

A wave to meditate on. Or SUP. Captured at Ponquogue on Christmas Eve by Jeff Schultz. See it in larger glory on his Jeff Schultz Photography FB page.
