 this is Mick...

yes snow, last year… no one out but me.

Summertime would show at least a dozen if not more if this came through on a weekend.

6mm suit, 7 mm boots n gloves can do over three hours if the sun is out and there isnt much wind.

I’m good as long as my feet stay warm.

location: New England, U.S.A

Fantastic shots!

  Looks like summer at Topanga.

Hi Chip! Looks like Eli may be riding a Beaker. No?

LeeD, good observation. The far away shots with the point in the background.

love winter… www.MOREsurfboards.com



Top shots Ben, Eli looks like he charges! Winter in Vicco is a beautiful thing, good swells, usually offshore, and cold water to keep the crowds down!

That was my first thought to Mr. T.  Strange to think its summer here.  It must have blown away our ancestors when they figured out that Northern/Southern Hemisphere thing; still blows me away, good thing those guys knew how to use the wind.

"priddy" , nice shots sir !

 

...WAS this at   your home breaks , this week ?

 

  [the east coast has been BOMBARDED  with swell , lately , eh ?!! ...yesterday on facebook , I saw a MAAAADDDDD sequence of a guy at massive 'deadmans' ]

 

cheers !

Yeah G, i thought it was too much of a coincidence since you just brought them back up. Alas, as in life…there aren’t any.

Great shots of your nephew Chip. Good style.(his and yours, and Simon’s)
