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 [...]
Raven SUP Shoot
Pretty flat here in Kachemak Bay this time of year. Really flat in fact. Take this morning for example – you could see the reflection of the mountains in the water it was so calm.
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.
Stand up paddling the Kenai River
The Kenai River in Southcentral Alaska is famous for fishing. Thousands and thousands of people visit its turquoise waters to fish for record setting king salmon, monstrous rainbow trout and countless sockeye salmon. Judging by the strange looks we received, stand up paddling hasn’t really caught on here yet. Fall is a particularly gorgeous time of year on the [...]
Land of the midnight SUP
I guess it’s not a once in a life time opportunity . . . Though it feels that way. This February night was the second time the stars aligned. Two years and two months prior I wrote: “Once upon a time in a little cosmic hamlet by the sea all the magic ingredients came together. [...]
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 [...]
SUP surfing Turnagain Arm Boretide – Aerial view
A flat spell at your home break can quickly lead a surfer to reminiscing of rides had in bygone times. How about that time we had it pretty good last fall? You know, the sessions with 5 mile rides. The one where you could catch the wave right after breakfast and ride it till lunch. [...]
Surfing the Turnagain Arm bore tide
Still trying to catch up here in the offices of Surf Alaska after a week of bore tide fever. Not trying too hard though . . We are heading to the Kenai River this weekend with inflatable stand up paddleboards for an attempt at paddling / floating the entire length of the river. Should be [...]
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 [...]
Stand up Paddle Surfing Alaska
The surf report between May and September in Homer, Alaska is typically pretty bleak. It’s actually sort of a wonder that we get waves here at all considering that Kachemak Bay is completely sheltered from any open ocean swell. In the Summer this is excruciatingly apparent. The tide has changed here though, with the launch [...]
