Big part of the reason I like me some boat nose kick…
Just ended a week down in the bay area visiting with kids/grandkids, surfed with my son every day, some fun OB, few other spots including my favorite hike in reef with just the two of us. Came home one tired old man…lol

pics not so hot…cell phone…snapped before a couple of sessons, not willing to wait for ‘da kine’…water continues to be unusually warm. When I left oOregon it was maybe 56, bay area around 57, maybe warmer. A treat…

thanks for the shots , guys !
good to see what america gets , this time of year.
summer HERE now [started today , 1st december, officially] .
but , unlike the west coast where I formerly was , this neck of the woods gets storms and swell in SUMMER , as well as all year round . Which is why I call it ‘this neck of the woods’ , rather than providing surf cam and google map locations .
cheers

classic , warthawg ! how old is Louie ?
does he
a] ride a boog ,
or
b] stand up , on the nose of a board , " hood ornament style " ?
I ask , because my brother Simon [who does surf coaching] , got a shot of a customer and his dog doing just THAT , last week … I’ll see if I can find it for you eh …
cheers !

Here is a pretty good video made of our Thanksgiving swell on Thursday by some of the local boys. Its begginning to get cold. I broke out the cold water gear for the first time this swell.
Perth, maybe?
Some of the best “winter surf” I ever had was during one of ‘our’ summer months spent in the Margaret’s area…
Louie is about a year old. Still a hodad, and no plans to start as far as I know; seems pretty content playing tug o war with a towel.
this was a fun day, late south swell
Hey Roger, clean little peeler! nice backlit wave shot
ACE - nice stuff, but your best work is on Flickr, I’m a fan!
Wow Matty, great shot! I assume that you were the guy in the water, this is with a go-pro?
so the pics I posted were good for a week, then suddenly became too large?
If so, why would the server allow them in the first place?
Despite hip problems, had some great days in the last few weeks. Really dialing in a new lone spot I’m having a tonne of fun at!
Dang Spey!!!
Looks like a mighty fine spot to get to yourself. Stoked, stoked indeed…
Mid September. I was able to test out a new shape, a 7’6" funboard in exotic waters along with a few friends…
I have met others surfing here once!! Bit of a trek, but obviously worth it when it’s firing. Yeah Stoked but just a pity the days are getting so short! Slanj.
Smile @ strangers & use the force
