I’ve only just begun to post here, but I’ve been reading for years, and I hafta say that this chipper fella is the most stoked individual I know (and after reading for years, I feel like I know alotaya!)

Hey Chip - You indeed are the main photo encourager here man… See, I finally got my picture mojo workin’… Ha! 

But - I did not take that shot w/my wrist mounted wireless remote control for my cliff mounted camera…  Ha!

That was December 26th, water @ 50 F.  not that bad.  The wind wasn’t tool cold, low 40’s, but it was howling, as you can see by the little white cap in the back ground.  I was literally blown out of waves, and off my board…  But once I got one… Not to bad, not to bad…

40 degrees yikes

 

  we get 40 degrees CELSIUS here , this time of year !!

 

  but not waves like THAT ?!

 

  Keep up the good work

 

  ethan ....is also  the name of my brother's girlfriend's son , so welcome to the land of non-lurking , and posting instead mate ! good on ya ! [now , can you post some of YOUR shots , too, please ?!]

 

  cheers

it’s the bottom turn on the cd4 view…

unfortunately , my watercamera died yesterday [?overuse, perhaps?!]

well, at least until i get a new watercamera , i’ll have to go through last winter’s photos , which i never ended up posting . [never fear , i still have PLENTY of shots of boards , fins , waves , that i didn’t post over the last ten months or so …]

cheers !

Reminds me of what I had written on my shaping bay wall for years

“Don’t think, Just Do”

Keep up the good work chip.
