Santa is stirring up some heavy freezing spray
It’s Christmas evening and I can’t help but share a little of the cheer I’m feeling about this forecast. It is giving me goosebumps and shivers, but in a good nervous anticipation kind of way.

Surfing Session – December 23 – 24, 2008
What I remember most about the 23rd surf session was the sound of wind blown water hitting the 6mm neoprence hood. It was loud.

Surfing session – Big Sunday 11/30/08
It was big. It was messy. It was blowing on shore and breaking a half mile offshore. It was fun. The well known and easily accessed beaches here in Homer, Alaska don’t handle a big stormy swell like today’s very well. The set waves were breaking way offshore and the current and foam piles were [...]
