blueclay road biking can be fun

when there is no swell, blue clay road bike track can be fun as long as you keep yourself upright.  face planting on the pump track ends a session pretty fast.  but when your son says, "dad that was awesome", and you can walk awaywas still a pretty good day!.  go hard or go home, huh. there ya go A.R.

summer blues

just sitting around waiting for the tropics to fire up.  there are just crowded beaches and orange sunrises.  last weekend the surf was crowded and everyone was chopping due to a predicted chest high swell from the first tropical depression that formed in the caribbean.  it did not show, there was some thigh to waist swell but not what people had hoped.  longboards were loving it.  the rest of the last two weeks has been like the above or wind blown slop. 

wednesday longboard sessions

today there was a small swell still lingering from the hard SW winds of the last two days.  however, it was hiding under the full moon high tide up and down wrightsville beach except on the south end.  crystal pier there were a few fish and shortboards getting some but the longboards were getting most of the morning tide.

bored, some random shots from the past.  some random, some wrightsville beach surf and a couple from california.

saturday surprise

Forecast was knee high.  What a happy surprise to those who got up early Saturday morning and went to the beach in the fog to find solid waist with chest high set waves coming on to Wrightsville Beach .  I got up early having to work and check the cams to find them fogged in and after a phone call I found out I had an hour window.  It was packed up and down the beach on the select sand bars.  But with a little patience you could find a face like pic2 with only yourself in the way.

car freaks week in the cape fear

57 Ford

Lots of sweet rides were all over the Cape Fear area this week.  This 57 Fairlane took a break down near Crystal Pier and I grabbed a few shots.

This one I got on the fly

4/28/11 offshore storms

Wrightsville Beach and that crazy band of tornado ridden storms passes offshore last night and got a couple shots on long exposure as the sky was lit up for hours.

hoping for good swell in the morning and i forgot the sd card at the house.  it wasn't as great as people were hoping.  falling tide all morning and hard offshore wind made it not as great as hoped.
