Fun Fall afternoon at Surf City

Ralph (aka NCBoardrider.blogspot), local Larry, and I sup surfed from noon until 6 on Saturday 11/6/10 in perfect Fall conditions.  Wind was straight offshore all day with chest to head high waves.  Ralph is an experienced windsurfer and all-around boardrider now branching out to surfboards and his new 9'0 Naish Mana sup.

Perfect Fall Session - Surf City

Video from Sunday

It's been a long time since I rock and rolled . . .

First surf for Sambo in 99 and one half days.  Great seeing everyone at marker 7 and Surf House.  Some pics from the board mount HD Hero.

Music here:

October Paddle on Falls Lake

Ain't No Train To Ocracoke

Here's some mighty fine music by the Dune Dogs:

Ain't No Train to Ocracoke


Hell yeah buddy, that's what I'm talking about

Ok folks it's voting time

Please make sure you know who you are voting for and why.

Take the time to cut through the nonsense and bs out there.

Surfin' Blues

I woke up this mornin', feelin' round for my shoes,
you know by that I got these old surfin' blues

Some people tell me, the surfin' blues ain't bad,
worst old feelin', I most ever had


We ain't got no surf

I can't find any surf in the forecasts anywhere in NC for the next two weekends.

A little crosstraining

We Don't Need Another Hero . . .

but I had to get in on all the fun.  It certainly prolongs the stoke when you can review the day's action captured on your GoPro Surf Hero HD camera.  Following photos are  from the TS Nicole swell at Surf City, NC.  Click the pictures twice for a much better expanded view.
