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 [...]
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.

Surfing Petrof Glacier 1.8.10 – Getting There
