Surf Session – October 27, 2008
The 27th, Monday, brought some surprisingly nice chest high waves to Kachemak Bay. The photo above was a quick snap before I ran down the beach with a surfboard, leaving the camera in the car for this session. The photo doesn’t really do the waves justice. First of all, I was too impatient to wait [...]
Surf Session – October 24, 2008
I only have a minute, but wanted to get a photo up from today’s session. It was very windy, complete with water spouts on Kachemak Bay!

Session – October 8, 2008
The second of two days we had last week out on the Homer Spit. This break was its usual deal with steep relatively hollow waves that mostly close out. Occasionally it gives you time for a bottom turn, and if you get lucky you might find yourself on one of the odd peaking waves that [...]
2008 Homer, Alaska surf season begins
October is traditionally the time that weather patterns begin to shift around my hometown of Homer, Alaska. Along with a bunch of rain, cold weather, and slush, October brings the first real westerly winds that push waves into the Kachemak Bay. After about five months with very very little to no surf, all of a [...]
