Dawntreading

The week was stacked with pre-work surf sessions and extra-curricular activities.

Monday morning. Post nor'easter, halloween treats.

Tuesday morning skunkrise and disc findings.

Losing track... this session was magical.

the letter "A"

Friday morning. Not quite the perfection that people had north, south and east of here but still pretty crankin.

Friday nite/Saturday morn. Come Hell or High Water movie premiere and camping with the best people ever @Grain Surfboards.

Loggin till sundown. The sea hugs. She never leaves.

Surf + Live + Evolve

Big, bold swell from Katia; spontaneous beach cleaning; a sustainability-centered surf festival; and gorgeous little longboard waves to rest, revive, ride and reflect upon.

Katia forerunners.

Irresistable post-surf debris removal. I was joined by local legend and smooth glider, Captain Carl. We filled a huge bag with plastic bottles and cans within a 15 minute timeframe. Did it again the next day.

Surf's up.

Way up.

A couple hundred miles north for Grain Surfboards Re-Evolution board demo. So many sustainable builders and boards, live music, two fantastic films and more. Grain knows how to throw an event! It was inspiring.

Comparing & contrasting.

Bonfire. Grain-style.

Sunday morning services. No place I would rather be.
