OCTOBER GOLD.mp4 from SURF FREE OR DIE on Vimeo.

This is a video of most of the swells from October 2022.
Music is by John Carden and Beautiful People.



This is one of my favorite episodes but had some sound issues, so here is a remastered version.
Enjoy, and I hope you all have a super good Thanksgiving.
Aloha Mike

This week we chat with Ralph Fatello @ralphs.pic from New England. 
Ralph remembers the days when you saw another surfer you would get so excited
and roll down the window and wave at each other, like lost brothers.  At 17, Ralph joined the
Marines and went to Vietnam.  While in Vietnam, he and two friends talked about getting back to
"The World" together and going surfing.  All three made it back but never had the opportunity to surf together. 
After returning, Ralph went to art school and was in many rock bands, all the while surfing all the time. 
Today, Ralph can be found at the beach surfing and taking videos/photos of the local crew. 
His, blog is www.ralphspic.com where you can find 100's 0f videos and find out what is happening
in the New England surf scene!  And did Ralph really take Sting to Dunkin' Donuts? Find out!!

THANKSGIVING WEEK. WILD BEAST FEAST. VFG (VIDEO FRAME GRABS). PATRIOTS LOSE HEARTBREAKER. NEW GO FUND ME PAGE. PLUS NEW PODCAST.


 



THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING AND THE WILD BEAST FEAST
I know it's hard to read, but, the front of my tee shirt reads "WE SURF WE HUNT." I recently explained to you all in a previous Blog about my other life. In short, my life in the outdoors. I am an avid upland bird hunter. I hunt over pointing dogs. I have many friends who hunt and fish. And many in my family do both. It has been a tradition, that was passed down from our fathers to my generation, and now passed down to our kids. And by the sounds of things, our grandkids can't wait to join in on this longstanding family tradition.

Our first Thanksgiving in the new digs was quite successful. Our immediate family came by for the more traditional Turkey and all the fixings. My wife did an amazing job cooking and preparing the festive meal and it all turned out perfectly. And let it be known right here and now, that I would be completely and utterly lost without my wife, and her keen attention to detail, not to mention the many times she has totally bailed me out, in my feeble attempts to doing a quarter of the things that she does. She is truly an amazing wife, mother, and grandmother to our family. And she is without question a loving and wonderful friend to our close knit group of friends. And each and every one of them would back me up on this claim.

Cory is the best. I am genuinely blessed to have her as my life partner.

And the Sunday after Thanksgiving is our annual WILD BEAST FEAST. This year I was so distracted trying to organize my office/game room before our guests arrived, that I dropped the ball on my end of the bargain to prepare and cook the birds that our dogs and the bird hunters in our group had harvested.
We eat what we harvest. And this year has been an exceptionally good year.



This is Patch and Zorro. Our father and son GERMAN SHORTHAIR POINTERS team. Patch is 12 yrs old, and Zorro is 2 yrs old. These dogs are incredible hunters and loving house pets. I would not hunt without a dog. I have said many times, "It's all about the dogs with me." I shall never tire of seeing one, or both of our dogs, slam into a point to let us know that they have made contact with the wild woodcock and or Grouse. I live for October. There's no question in our minds that these dogs and this breed is very special.

We've had German Shorthairs since Max was a mere toddler.

And speaking of toddlers, it was so nice having the grandchildren here at Thanksgiving. Avery, Brylee, Reighlynn, Paige, and newcomer Malia. We love them all very much. And I do mean all of us. We're all so lucky to have each other. And I'm sure we have not seen the last of Grandkids. Nope.
I'm pretty damn confident that there will be more babies coming.



And I say, the more the merrier. And with the new digs, we have more than enough room for them all. The holidays are all about family and friends.
We can't wait to see what the new year will bring.

By now you should all be familiar with the term VFG (Video Frame Grabs). Because I shoot 90% of my video in 4K I have been relying more and more on the VFG. I mean why the hell not? The video at the top of the page was all shot in 4K. OCTOBER GOLD was shot entirely in October. If you recall, I have mentioned many times in the pass about my love for October. If you have not seen the video at the top of this page, you really should watch it.



The surf never really got big, but it was very consistent, and it was for the most part, pretty damn clean. The local surfers are the ones I shot.



There are no pros or semi pros, just honest and good talented local surfers, surfing our local breaks. Truth be told, I'd much rather shoot locals than the paid pros. They (locals) all have such unique and creative surf styles.



And speaking of local talent. John Carden did the opening sound track at his recording studio right here in Hampton. He sampled a really groovy version of Marvin Gaye's HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPVINE. His studio SOUND MACHINE is a great little studio for all you musicians out on the seacoast.



I also used my "Go To" Hendrix samplers Beautiful People. I love this CD.



Wonder why they never did another Hendrix sampler records. Their style of mix matching different Hendrix songs was is so good. I'm pretty sure the last 2-3 edits I did, I used their unique sampling techniques. If you listen to the Podcast at the top of this page you'll hear that I consider Hendrix songs more more geared to surfing than the Beach Boys. And I know I'm not alone.

THIS JUST IN. LOCAL SURF SHOP OWNER NEEDS OUR HELP.



This is from Mike "Zappy" Paugh from ZAPSTIX Surf Shop

"Hi my name is Mike,
I’m raising funds for my children as I have no where else to turn. The bills are piling up, and Christmas is right around the corner. I work everyday but it’s just not enough. This is very hard for me to do. Asking for help. But like I said, I don't have anywhere else to turn. So please, any donations would help me and my family get through this tough time.

Thank you,

Mike"

NOW FOR SOME LOCAL AND NATIONAL NEWS
The move is getting closer. They boys and girls have been working feverishly on getting the Old Pioneers ready to be the New Cinnamon Rainbows. This is one of those old time feel good Christmas/Holiday movies. My favorite Christmas movie is "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE." And this has the makings of a localized version of it. The Christmas/Holiday season is all about giving.



And this story is straight out the act of giving. Giving with Love and Respect. Stevie, Dave, Heather, Phil, and Caroline are the local players in this feel good story. But the real players are all of the volunteers who have devoted their time and skills to making this transaction happen. And all those who made such generous donations to the Go Fund Me Page. All of you who have helped will forever be in the good graces of the Cinnamon Rainbows family. They won't forget you.

THE PATRIOTS are now 6-5 for the season.
They lost to the Vikings on Thanksgiving night in what most people thought was Mac Jones best game this season. He threw for 380 yards. In fact, it was a career high for Mac10. If not for some terrible calls going against them they would have won that game. The non TD catch by TE Hunter, the non call of Dugger being held on the kick off return TD, the non Facemask call on Jones. And a few other blunderous moments. Running into the kicker that enabled the Vikings to score. It was all just too much.

And as a result, the Patriots are in Last Place in the AFC EAST division. The Dolphins are in first place, and the Bills are in second, with the Jets in 3rd place. It's hard to believe that the 6 time super Bowl champs are last in their division.



The one thing I do know is this guy did not lose that game on Thanksgiving night. No sirree Bobby. This guy played like a champion. Mac Jones put on quite a clinic that night. But the team fell short. This NO CATCH by Hunter that was CLEARLY a TD, was absolute BULL SHIT!



We're playing the BILLS on Thursday Night and unless the coaches have something up their sleeves things are not looking good. Another reminder (Ralph). We had 20 years of Glory. 20 years. Even the GREAT Tom Brady is having a rough year. It is after all, only a game. So why do we let it bother us so much?
Because we are FAN-ATICS. Go Patriots prove las Vegas wrong and beat the Jackasses on Thursday!

Yesterday-GERRY LAW SUMMER OF 1977.
Gerry Law was a great photographer who lived and surfed in Southern Maine. He was also a pretty good surfer himself. Though there are little to no photos of him surfing. Thanks to Allen Bigbee, I was able to get this pic and post it here. So Gerry, if you happen to see this, you have Allen to thank for getting me the pic. I hope you're still taking photos and catching the occasional wave. Photo by Ron Freeman





I kept a daily Blog on my CATCH A WAVE FOR MOLLY surf campaign, when I surfed every single day for 365 consecutive days. Click on the Banner above to read entries of my daily journey. There's some really interesting and true experiences
that happened during that year. Some of which are to this day, unexplainable. Some are just mind blowing. But all true.

I started on July 26th, 2010 and ended on July 26th, 2011.

Some rainy Sunday, pour yourself a cup and go through the journal. Pay close attention to the month of May in 2011. Read that month and let me know what you think of that. Be forewarned it will change you forever.

OCTOBER 6th 2022.mp4 from SURF FREE OR DIE on Vimeo.
On October 6th, 2022 the surf cleaned up from the night before. I was a short window to shoot. Max and Artie Seaman were the only two out at the Wall that I knew. I used the Beautiful People soundtrack. It just seemed to fit. I live for October. I wait all year for her to show up and in the blink of an eye, she's gone. But I do my best capture her beauty each year. Watch in 1080

Hurricane FIONA RI to NH September 2022.mp4 from SURF FREE OR DIE on Vimeo.

On September 23rd and 24th, 2022 the crew from NH scored waves from Hurricane Fiona in RI to NH. She was a short lived, but she was a clean ground swell. Clearly the size was down south, but the clean green was up north. Kudos to Lili Lapierre and Kody Grondin for the RI footage.

PADDLE FOR ROBIN 8-19-22.mp4 from SURF FREE OR DIE on Vimeo.

Robin Rowell was a New Hampshire and California Surf legend. The Memorial Surfer's Paddle was held on August 19th, 2022 at his favorite break in New Hampshire. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Keep paddling Robin...keep paddling. We will meet you out in the lineup, when we cross over the Rainbow Bridge. We love you.



NINETEEN EIGHTY TWO
The year was 1982. A handful of friends surfing the Wall.
Featuring: Robin Rowell, Kevin Grondin, Mike Paugh, Billy Ritchie,

FIRST SUMMER SWELL OF 2022.mp4
from SURF FREE OR DIE on Vimeo. This was the first official swell of the summer of 2022. It hit on the 24th of June and lasted 5 days. The two best days were Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th. The water was intoxicatedly warm. In fact it was 70 degrees on Sunday. That's pretty damn warm for June. The music is a song I wrote in 1982.
I remember writing it in the summer of 83 and David Robinson and I worked out the arrangement and he produced it at Syncro Sound. This was to be one of the follow up songs to The VINNY LP that he produced.
I remember doing those cool ascending and descending background vocals. David and I have worked well together with all three of my bands. That's David playing the Linn Drum and my brother Johnny plays a really cool guitar
solo at the end of the song. *On a sad note, the day I shot this video, a biker was killed by a drunk driver in broad daylight.

There's a scene of bikers at the end of this video. I wonder if he was one of them. RIP David Penney.


MAMA'S DAY 2022.mp4 from SURF FREE OR DIE on Vimeo.

From Sunday May 8th to Friday May 13th, 2022. Five days of overhead waves. Seriously, 5 days worth. It never really cleaned up, but surfing overhead surf in May? Nobody was about to complain. The whole Mother's Day theme was carried along with the soundtrack. I used my own music that I wrote and recorded from the mid 70's.
The VINNY Band was a popular Boston/New England band in the 70's-80's. These songs? They crack me up. There's nothing about them that sounds like surf music to me. But that's what makes it so funny. It kind of does fit the vibe. Three of these songs were produced by the super talented Steve Sadler. 

The highlights? Billy Leibundgut's drone footage adds to the overall vibe. And my favorite? The version of my song MAMA MIA by Steve Sadler is brilliant. And PLEASE try and watch to the very end where some of the boys wish their moms a Happy Mother's Day. It's all good.
As always, I hope you enjoy it. All 25 minutes of it. Watch in 1080 or higher

WILD WINDY WEDNESDAY.mp4 from SURF FREE OR DIE on Vimeo.

Wednesday April 27th, 2022 was a WILD and WINDY day. The swell filled in from late morning until dark. The locals that were around, scored some fun waves. This has been a pretty good Spring so far.
Music is by the Adobe Library.



SPRING EQUINOX 2022.mp4 from SURF FREE OR DIE on Vimeo.

Spring Equinox. The first day of Spring, March 20th, 2022. Followed by another Spring swell on March 26th, 2022 and then the big swell. April 8th, 2022. The day my 4th grandchild was born. Her name is "Malia" and it means
"Of The Sea." The music is by my two bands The VINNY Band and The NOR'EASTERS. The first song is called The WHIFF and the last song is called UPSIDE DOWN.
Both songs were produced by The CARS Drummer David Robinson. 

The whole video is under 10 minutes. I know that seems like an eternity to some of you younger folks. But I don't care. I have said this before, and I'll say it again. I make surf movies, not Tik Tok clips.

Of Sun, Sea, And Smoke.mp4 from
SURF FREE OR DIE on Vimeo.

Saturday January 15th, 2022. One of the coldest days that I can remember
(and I've been around this block of ice a few times).
Single digits, with a wind-chill factor way below zero.
I got Frost Nip on my fingers. Took me hours to get some life back in them.
But having said that, the local crew were out and making it one of the
most dramatic videos I've ever shot.
I'm still cold just thinking about it.



Nicaragua from Brayden Rudert on Vimeo.

Always happy to share Brayden Rudert's videos here. This is one he shot and edited from his trip to Nica last summer. This edit features a handful of local Hampton locals. Kody Grondin, Matt Colby, Mikel Evans, and Max Fatello. The video is cool and so is the music. And boy couldn't we all use warm tropical water.


SURFER'S PADDLE For Greg Smith from SURF FREE OR DIE on Vimeo.

The traditional Surfer's Paddle for Legendary NH Surfer/Skier Greg Smith 
on October 24th, 2021 at The Rocks. This was one of the Top 5 Paddles I've ever been involved in. Greg Smith was a true legend. The video is long compared to most edits, but to hear the true Greg Smith stories is worth it. Thank you to all who helped out in the paddle. From the photographers, to those who spoke, and to those who came to pay their respects to a true New Hampshire legend. Special thanks to the Grondins for hosting the after hours gathering. Keep Paddling Greg. Keep Paddling Brother. "A Hui Hou."
