Three waves keep the search stoke alive in AK
As avid followers of Surf Alaska may recall, last winter we made a four week surf exploration across the gulf of Alaska aboard the m/v Milo. The video clip below is just a little taste of the waves we scored on that adventure.
Surfing Kodiak with Land Rover
I’m writing this from aboard the m/v Milo, It’s dark outside now, all i can hear is the willywahs beating the sides of the boat as she leans over from the force. Earlier in the day we could watch the waterspouts twirling past us, occasionally slamming right into us. When one hits us straight on [...]
Turnagain Arm boretide glass – video
You’ll never know unless you go. This thought often makes us get in the car for the 3.5 hr one way drive to Turnagain Arm in search of the often elusive boretide. The tides are very predictable, the wave – not so much. It’s always a gamble with the countless variables that change the wave, [...]
Turnagain Arm boretide surfing May 2011
As promised in a recent post, below is a video from our SUP session on the May 21st Turnagain Arm boretide. You can read about the session in this post – Turnagain Arm Boretide – reaping rewards. The sun, earth and moon have been getting back inline for another series of boretides coming up this [...]
Turnagain Arm boretide – earning our stripes
The Turnagain Arm boretide is a mysterious event. We’ve spent a lot of time analyzing the tide charts, water depths, channel and sand bar shapes . . . But in the end you still just have to show up and hope for the best. Sometimes we score, sometimes we’re just get sore. Yesterday Mike and [...]
Sunrise SUP session on the spit
Nice little sunrise session on the Homer Spit this morning. Not too much to get excited about, but some fun rides on the stand up paddleboards. I had the GoPro camera with me out there to catch the insane action.
Winter surf session video
Kachemak Bay, Alaska was recently the recipient of some kind of a weather miracle. There was a wind swell coming across Cook Inlet that kept up for five days! That alone is quite a phenomena, but to take it another step into the realm of dreams – a steady offshore breeze was whistling along every [...]
Slab GoPro video
If you’ve been following along here you know that we have been taking the m/v Milo out from Homer to discover new breaks on the outer coast of the Kenai Peninsula. We just returned from our fourth trip out there yesterday. This morning I put together a few clips I shot using the GoPro video [...]
Alaska fly-out surf adventure video
There’s a knee high wind swell hitting the Homer Spit today. I’m inside working on the computer to that all too familiar tune of water dripping down the rain gutter just outside my window. I can’t complain though, yesterday evening I paddled my stand up board for about 4 hours and easily caught my subsistence [...]
Foggy video of the Petrof Glacier wave
It’s just a little clip from Stephanie’s iPhone. It doesn’t even show a set wave. I’ll bet it still makes you squirm in your seat. The video is from our last fly-out surf trip to Petrof Glacier, Alaska when we surfed all day in a thick fog and thought we’d be making an unplanned overnight [...]
Slushy Surf in Alaska
Surfing in Alaska we get to see a lot of unusual things. These waves in Anchor Point a few days ago were cool, really cool, almost frozen, like a salt slurpee. I was mesmerized, in a desperate effort to try and capture this sight, despite the flat light, I shot some video and photos: We [...]
Anchor River surfing
It hasn’t really been THAT long since we last had waves. Only a few days really. But yesterday afater my brain had gone to mush and any chance of productivity had left me, I left the office and went to try out an idea that had been brewing for a while – tie a line [...]
