2011 Surf Retrospective

It was tough to pick just one from each month, so I cheated a little on a few. 2012 brings continued hope for an elevated collective conscience regarding the state of our oceans and the creatures who share it with us. More fun sessions and adventures remain on the wishlist as well. May 2012 bring you all you desire.

february February: I spent most of the month in Puerto Rico. This was a totally new thing for me. When I got there and realized there was a sweet little community complete with a rockin surfrider chapter, and surf everyday, I fell a little in love. Before I knew it I was back in the winter rubber.

incoming March: incoming!

july July: Creative sessioning. Caught a summer evening moon session followed by suprisingly good surf the next morning.

I Love You

lovevol
People so seldom say I love you
And then it's either too late or love goes.
So when I tell you I love you,
It doesn't mean I know you'll never go,
Only that I wish you didn't have to.
~ Rumi

Solstice Session | Winter 2011

Winter solstice surf in 2010 and in 2009 were polar opposite to this year's - complete with snow, a good little swell, and chilly temps. In contrast, today was warm and sunny with clean lil longboard waves. My hood was off before sunrise. Though the waves were small, I still had a hard time leaving. Always want to stay.
