Surfing Kodiak, Alaska

If you are looking to score some summer waves in Alaska Kodiak and Yakutat are two well known spots to consider visiting.

In the archives you can find a four part report from a surf trip to Yakutat. Part One, Two, Three, Four. Now it’s Kodiak’s turn. Having been a few years since I’ve surfed Kodiak myself, I reached out for this post to a Surf Alaska follower Caroline Goodman. She was kind enough to share her story and answer a few questions on the surf scene in Kodiak. If you enjoy the interview thank her in the comments, she’s done us all a great favor here.

Surfing in Alaska

Mike McCune surfing at Petrof Glacier in Alaska.

A swell that was tracking towards Petrof Glacier went off course and diminished spoiling our plans for yet another fly out surf adventure in the wilds of Alaska. Well, seriously, how spoiled can we be? really? Catching up on office and yard projects here today I’m daydreaming about our last trip. Yet to post the full report but here is one teaser photo too keep the stoke alive.

I’ve been busy working behind the scenes on exciting things for Surf Alaska. Sneak peak of what’s coming soon: Surf and SUP boards, wetsuits + accessories all for sale/rent/demo beginning July 1st.

See you on the water!
