  • The State of Bertha II

    Overall it seems that Hurricane Bertha was hyped up a bit too much. Yesterday morning proved to deliver the best swell we have yet to see. Most of the crew headed to Ramp 23 to paddle through the ragging currents to the head + high waves rolling in. These were some of the heaviest waves i have yet to surf. I rode a 6’4 Resin 8. It was a bit too small but i was able to get a few very fun and adrenaline pumping waves. Ken, Slezy, Dre and DL scored some of the waves of the day. I then headed over to Mirlot to check out the mob scene. The line up was packed and there were some rippers out. Here are a couple shots from the day…

  • Still No Wind, Good Surf

    The wind had been incredibly light as of late. On the other hand, the surf had been fun and should only get better this week. It has been about waist high perfect for my new 9’9 Jimmy Lewis Noserider. Zack named my board “The Green Flash”. I loving this board its a blast! The forecast looks strong for wind and waves this week but will ahve to wait to see if that holds. Andre Phillip is back in town for about a month. Im looking forward to shooting with him again if the wind cooperates.

  • Swell in Hatteras, Again.

    Cape Hatteras has been blessed with another sizey swell. The Lighthouse saw some heavy barrels, while Rodanthe had the size. The following are a few shots from the last couple days.
