Yesterday
1987 An October Nor'easter from the archives
(Below) This wave of mine was also captured on Movie Film. I remember
this wave. Because right after this
bottom turn, I was able to pull in under the pitching lip.Funny how I
still remember what this wave felt like.
It was also my 1st Wedding anniversary

Sometimes we wait a long time to get surf like this. But when it comes,
we're all smiles.

Seems like we all felt so good about this swell, that even a few bombs
on the head were fine by everyone.

This could be part of a sequence...or it could be just another wave. Lord
knows we all caught so many
waves today that it's hard to tell which is which. Casey again. Photo

Would you call this swell overhead? Casey did...and so did I. Photo

OK so it got a bit crowded during certain times of the day. Just PLEASE
hold onto your boards.
My son caught a longboard in the mouth as he was paddling out during a
large set today. Some guy ditched his
board without looking behind him. That's dangerous stuff. Please
HOLD ON TO YOUR BOARD!
