Tumbleweed At The Cliff

Same thing. Went out in some good-sized stuff. I'm up making the drop and kaboom. I tumbled over and over. I don't know what's going on lately other than the fact that I'm not catching anything. I may go back to the 2 + 1 fin setup. Hey, I'll try anything at this point.

It's Not The Board

Hit Higgo about head high plus. The paddle out was crazy the sweep was massive. Finally got out. Phew. So many shortboarders rockin'-- it was one and done for me. Got up was hitting the drop...half way down I bit it. We'll try again another day. It really crushes the ego.

Hodad Glenn lost his board in the lineup and had to have someone bring him into shore. Have I told you about our tv show? 2kooks surfing in Maine.  website--2kooks.com

Timing

It's all about the timing. Went out in monsters--wrong tide though. Got out, but didn't do anything. I'm gonna pull the longboard out of retirement (retired for one session). I don't have my groove on the funboard (Actually too fat for it to float). Getting ready for low tide. I should be able to rock these things.

Me & Stoney McGee

Killer waves coming all next week, especially Monday and Wednesday. I've been telling Glenn that I can't sit around all day waiting for tomorrow.  I guess he took it to heart 'cause he dragged me out in slop (again).  Probably 'cause I've been telling him I got new game and new moves. I've been doing my homework.  I'm gonna retire my longboard and start ripping the fun board.

While out there today a seal pokes his head up between us and says, "hi." With that we were gone. You know whose favorite meal is the seal!

Go Pro Glenn

We missed it today. Went early morning to check out a (brand new) secret spot. It was flatter than a pancake.  Went to Fortunes. This place was pumping. Un-fortunes-ately, we didn't have our gear. These were probably the best waves I've seen in Maine.  They were peaky and punchy. Then everything died out.

We went out at the UBE and here's Go Pro Glenn..

Misguided

Some people have their priorities all messed up. Good waves this morning. Glenn got a GoPro. That's cool. Anyway he wasted 45 minutes trying to get the thing hooked up (he's had it for a week). I texted him the age old adage: the waves wait for no one. Yet he messed around setting up the go pro. Apparently the go pro is more important than the surf. A true surfer would have surfed and set up the cam during down time--not Glenn.

45 minutes later we got in the water. Needless to say the waves were gone. Hope you got that thing set up Glenn!!!!

Mixing it up

Tried something new tonight. Put on everything backwards/opposite. Usually put left foot in wetsuit first. Well I tried the right first first and so on. Waves were small, but hey...what the heck. Caught one nice left and that was about it.

Until next session....

Goof Ball

How goofy can you get? I had the goofiest ride imaginable. I can't even describe it other than total goof ball!
Might be time to hang this gig up for a while and get refocused.

That's Glenn bobbing downtown

Post Nemo

Hit Dawn patrol...I'm getting worse and worse while Glenn is getting better and better. Caught one right and got tossed on a few others. Two nasty spills while walking the beach. One on the way out and one on the way back in. The sand was frozen and I bit it hard. I'm gonna have to check my board to make sure I didn't damage it. Tides and kilo Joules aren't working with us today, but we'll try again around 2:00.

I had to get out of the water early--my toes were frozen and I had a water bubble in my wetsuit. Not Good!

(Back Track Jan 31 afternoon session [computer down]) Glenn killed the afternoon session with two sweet lefts--serious trim.  The following day he did it again. Big Wave only got one ride, but did a floater (Google surfing floater--pretty dope).
