A flock of crows, a set of waves, a mountain range, and the pink sky of a winter evening.
Two days after christmas the real holiday fun got started. The little bit of available light left during this session wasn’t good for photos, but the surfing waves were beautiful and the boys were getting after it. We’ve turned the corner on winter finally and it’s not much yet, but we are gaining daylight each day. Tomorrow morning we are expecting waves in Homer so there’s plans for a dawn patrol, dark and early at 8:30am. Forecasted temperatures? 10 below (fahrenheit) brrr.

I checked this spot earlier in the day. The surf was perfection, but with the rising tide it wasn't going to last long.

Click the photo to enlarge, and look close, you'll see a surfer (Jake Bell I think) lined up on this section.

Jake Beaudoin stoked on the new board he found on the beach, little heavy though he said.

great pics and surfing, and some nice ice hamming shots at the end!
Like the new header pic and logo, picture is very “season appropiate”
Agreed, Mcfish, the new banner looks good. Waves in Marshmellowland!
Dude,
I went to Alaska for fishing last August in Sitka. Being an avid surfer for 20 years I went looking for Alaska surf pics while sipping an Alaska IPA I bought at Trader Joe’s in, of all places, Phoenix, AZ.
You guys are gnarly and true hardcore surfers. I really enjoyed looking at your pics. Stay young and keep surfing!!!
