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 [...]
Dreaming of a slushy Christmas
Merry Christmas to all. The recent cold spell in Homer has coincided with a few great days of surf. The morning sessions have been cool. Heading to bed here on a cold Christmas eve dreaming of another slush session for tomorrow.
Homer just in time
What a welcoming party! We just returned to Homer in time for a couple great days of surf. I’m still unpacking gear, but wanted to post this photo from the morning surf session today. There are some other great moments still to come from the last two days as well as plenty of stories and [...]
Bore tide surfing fever
Finally we are back home from an intense and thrilling week of stand up paddle surfing the Turnagain Arm bore tides. Hundreds of photos and video clips to edit from the week while reliving the memories of 40 minute / 4 mile rides! The photo above is an aerial view captured from my paramotor on [...]
What more could you ask for?
Just one shot before I collapse into bed. Thirteen hours ago I was scrambling my way to the Homer Airport for another fly-out surf adventure to Petrof Glacier. Six hours ago I took this photo of Mike ripping by me on a head high peeler below snow covered mountains. And for the next eight hours [...]
What did santa surf?
It’s become a bit of a tradition to go surfing on Christmas day here in Alaska. Well, at least for about five of us in Homer anyhow. Every year we wonder if Santa will show up and what kind of wave slider he’ll be using. Not too surprising then when he did make an appearance [...]
Petrof glacier surf – pt. 1
Let the story telling begin. Years of talking, drooling, hypothesizing, dreaming, thinking, imagining . . Petrof Glacier, so close yet so far away. From Homer this spot is only a 20 minute bushplane flight away. Just on the other side of those pesky mountains that so easily block the ocean swell from hitting our beaches. [...]
Surf Archive – January 26th, 2006
Just a little something from the archive for a flat Sunday afternoon.
Surfing Yakutat, Alaska 2008 – part 2
Day 2: Looking back through the photo files from 9/28/08 there’s nothing for the morning session, must have been rainy and the camera was left behind. I think we surfed Pt Carrew at first light. Back to camp for a tanner crab lunch, cheers Iceman! It’s not so bad camping in the rainforest when you’ve [...]

Surf Session – November 2, 2008
What a sweet welcome November gave us today! Sunny and gorgeous like the last few days, but this time with a nice little swell. The phones were ringing this morning long before the sun rose- “Surf is up my friend, get ready for a 8am dawn patrol (thanks to daylight savings time we didn’t have [...]
Surf Session – October 27, 2008
The 27th, Monday, brought some surprisingly nice chest high waves to Kachemak Bay. The photo above was a quick snap before I ran down the beach with a surfboard, leaving the camera in the car for this session. The photo doesn’t really do the waves justice. First of all, I was too impatient to wait [...]
Surf Session – October 24, 2008
I only have a minute, but wanted to get a photo up from today’s session. It was very windy, complete with water spouts on Kachemak Bay! Despite the wind though, there was a crowd of surfers out at Bishops Beach. If you could make it outside the crushing shore break there was actually some pretty [...]
