Scoring
Been too busy living stories to share them lately. But don’t worry, there are some good ones coming. We are, right now, motoring out of Resurrection Bay on another 7 day wave hunt in the Gulf of Alaska. Forecast is looking good, great crew of surfers aboard, looking like another dream coming true.
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.
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 [...]
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.
Teaser from our last AK session
I’m just back home catching up on work, looking forward to sharing photos from our latest surf exploration on the m/v Milo. We sat out a hurricane in the Gulf of Alaska for one day and surfed ourselves silly the next two days. more coming soon
Surfing Seward, Alaska
Couple quick shots from a recent session near Seward, Alaska. We are in the Seward Harbor for a crew change and heading back out for some more surfing and exploring first thing tomorrow.
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.
Surfing Alaska – Valentines Day
It’s been a busy season here at Surf Alaska. We are getting stoked to fall into some epic surf adventures as the summer winds down. Until then, here is a little photo report from a session we had last winter, Valentines day in fact. Pretty nice offshore blowing, check out the snow manes flying off [...]
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 [...]
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.
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. [...]
Three Alaskan waves for surfing
Just a quick post with three Alaskan waves that I’ve been daydreaming about.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
An early white Christmas
It was a slushy day out there but I didn’t see anyone complaining. Just a bunch of smiling faces. I was fortunate enough to maximize this swell and surfed all the way through a sunrise, sunset, and a moonrise. Seven hours in the water today and some incredible rides including some sweet barrels. Looks like [...]
Surfing Puget Bay, Alaska
We woke up hours before daylight. This isn’t hard during the Alaskan winter, especially when you are so excited you can’t sit still, there was a rumbling in the air when I walked out on deck in the middle of the night. The swell must have picked up.
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 [...]
Thankful for surf in Yakutat, Alaska
Many waves to be thankful for in Yakutat, Alaska on Thanksgiving Day. The crew of the M/V Milo and a couple local Yakutat surfers scored countless waves under sunny skies and the incredible scenery of the Saint Elias Mountains.
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.
