Alaskan surf weekend trip
Last weekend we took our beloved m/v Milo out for a quick trip to the Gulf of Alaska. The swell forecast was looking pretty good. But mostly, after working at home for almost a week following three weeks of non-stop wave hunting were feeling pretty desperate for some waves and a bit of boat time.
Surfing Kodiak between storms
As reported in my previous post, we had a pretty tough surf search around Kodiak Island early this winter with the m/v Milo. The storms were on par with the scenery, relentless and rugged. In our first few days around the island we did get to score a couple sessions when the wind momentarily settled [...]
Boat trip to Kodiak Island. Scenic. Stormy. Surf.
It’s no secret that Kodiak Island can be a windy place, but three weeks straight with winds gusting over 50mph? That just doesn’t seem possible! Well, fortunately we all lived to tell the story of enduring a non-stop series of epic winter storms while on a surf trip around Kodiak Island by boat.
Surf in Alaska – October 2nd
Just back form another surf adventure on the m/v Milo. The highlight was a great 6 hour session at a point/beach break that offered 30+ second rides with some sweet steep sections well overhead. The photo above was a set peeling when I first pulled up in the humbug (our 14ft RIB wave scout). I’ll [...]
Barrel sequence photos
The rewards for weathering hurricane force winds on our last m/v Milo expedition were aplenty. Check out this tube ride that Nicolas Sutil, a visiting surfer from Chile, scored on the third day of our exploration.
Surf & SUP exploring Alaska
The m/v Milo arrived in Seward, Alaska yesterday evening after four non-stop days of surf and stand up paddle exploration in the Kenai Fiords National Park and Gulf of Alaska. The surf was better than we had expected and we are stoked after discovering three new spots on this trip so far.
Sleuthing an Alaskan Slab
This was our second trip with the m/v Milo out to the Gulf of Alaska from Homer. Swell was forecasted to be something between seven and fifteen feet. The first day was windy, the swell was strong but it took us a few hours to discover a break that was sheltered from the wind coming [...]
Yesterday’s wave
We just got home this morning from a couple days of surfing in the Gulf of Alaska. Monday was a bit breezy and kept us exploring the coastline aboard the m/v Milo for a while before we found a nice punchy wave with an offshore breeze. Yesterday the wind was mellow and the swell was [...]
Surfing Petrof Glacier from the M/V Milo
I couldn’t count the number of times we have been floating in the lineup at Petrof Glacier daydreaming about having the M/V Milo anchored up right there with us. In our little dream she would be there rolling in the swell waiting for us to have our fun then return to her for a nice [...]
Surfing Sealion Cove, Alaska
A little piece of paradise. Sealion Cove on the Northwest corner of Kruzof Island in Southeast Alaska brought our dreams to life one sunny November day.
Surfing Yakutat, Alaska
The storms are back. A sure sign that winter is coming here in Alaska. If you are fortunate enough to be at the receiving end of one of those 26ft swell blobs moving across the gulf count yourself lucky. Here in Homer it’s blowing rain onshore with a knee high chop. A good day to [...]
Surfing Icy Bay, Alaska
Situated on the Eastern edge of the Gulf of Alaska with a long sand spit protruding into the bay and miles of beach on either side Icy Bay will catch any Alaska map surfers imagination.
