Cape Cod 7/18-7/27/08


First session was 7.2/102 Eastham in front of house. Got into the straps after a low tide long walk. Nothing too spectacular. 2 More days of 6.2/102 at West Dennis SW. Swell riding fun very few ramps. Thursday it blew 25 SSE. 5.4/Acid then 6.2/Acid (first time, not a real great combo.) Overall session was fantastic, one of my best ever, and THE best ever on the Cape. Tons of 2-4' ramps which were lining up perfectly, lots and lots of BIG air and some fabulous wave riding. The change of direction makes West Dennis a completely different experience. It would be worth a trip up there for a weekend if we knew the direction it was going to blow. 4 sessions total, The Cape comes through again. Pictures above are 5.4/Acid in front of our house at Eastham, at the end of the big day. I had driven back from West Dennis exhausted but went back out for a short session anyway. 2 women driving a Subaru Outback (hint) watched me.

7/6/08 Rodanthe

Sailed on the ocean at the end of Bob Rowlands' street with Bob and Contos. 7.2/102 nicely powered. Some really good swells on the outside and some sporatic small rideable waves on the inside. Sound was 6.0, but with the occasional holes and houses the ocean was 7.0. Saw a huge turtle swimming towards the beach on one run and lots of skates and jellyfish as well. Sailed for 3-4 hours. Fun, Fun, Fun.

7/4/08 60thish Street, Va Beach

45 minute 7.2/102 ocean session. Very marginal, but worth it. Went to Scott's for fireworks.
