The waves from Hurricane Bertha started to show up yesterday. We arrived at Merlot beach around 1pm to check it out. Surfers were already getting barreled in waist to head high surf. The break was well, PACKED. People drove in from all over to catch waves. We ran back to the office to grab the gear and set up camp. I scored a short half hour surf session then filmed for the rest of the session. I tried shooting with the water casing again, I have yet to see the fruit of that labor, but hope to get some keepers. Paul and Chris switched it up on the GL2 and the digital SLR. After work most of the REAL crew headed to Ramp 23 where it was not crowded at all. Here are a couple quick pocket camera shots of the evening session:
