Surfing session – Big Sunday 11/30/08
It was big. It was messy. It was blowing on shore and breaking a half mile offshore. It was fun. The well known and easily accessed beaches here in Homer, Alaska don’t handle a big stormy swell like today’s very well. The set waves were breaking way offshore and the current and foam piles were [...]

Surfing with ice in Alaska
November 10th, 2008 there was nothing except wind in Kachemak Bay, Alaska. Twenty miles up the road in Anchor Point there was wind, waves, and ice! Big chunks of ice were drifting out of the Anchor River into the lineup. Anchor point is a surf destination that never fails to surprise. Usually we find ourselves [...]
Surfing Session – November 20, 2008
If only they were three times their size. Jake went out and rode a few on this snowy day. I got halfway into my wetsuit, but on closer inspection couldn’t get excited enough to finish that chore so I took a few photos and came back to work.
Alaska surfing photos from November 2nd 2008

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 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 [...]
Anchor River surfing
It hasn’t really been THAT long since we last had waves. Only a few days really. But yesterday afater my brain had gone to mush and any chance of productivity had left me, I left the office and went to try out an idea that had been brewing for a while – tie a line [...]
