Signs

I came out of the gate strong and then I went downhill fast. I think it's a sign for me to get Big Wave's rolling.

Struggle

This first wave felt way better than it looks. That's probably because I was out nearly four hours and I struggled all day. I didn't have the cam for the morning session because I was late to the party. I did have one nice front side though. I probably struggled this morning because I was too busy checking out the honnies/bunnies in the lineup. The afternoon...well I have no excuses. I put the second one in because that's pretty low for me. "Bass, how low can you go?"

There are nice waves projected Mon-Thurs but I am so far behind on getting Big Wave's open for this weekend. But I will still try to sneak some sessions in. If you don't see me out here that means I am now operating Big Wave's and you can find updates on Big Wave's Facebook page. I don't know the address, but you can search Big Wave's Old Orchard Beach (always the marketer!!!)

SW Winds & Puddling

Some dude out there said the waves were tough to catch because it was Southwest winds and puddling. I have no idea what that means, but (I guess) I want Southwest winds and Puddling everyday!!!! On the last ride, Glenn was riding the wave behind me. He yelled, "yo." I looked and waved. While looking back, I rode so far in that my fins bottomed out on the sand and I took a nasty spill. All Good! It was fun out there tonight

Hey Yeah

"Alright, Alright, Alright, Alright"
Then great debate lingers on--the hog or the fish. I took the fish out. I had to clean it up, Go Pro Glenn left it filthy after his last session. Anyway I struggled for about 45 minutes without catching anything. I had to get reacquainted with the fish while 3 girls were putting me to shame. I didn't even get any numbers. Anyway....the second wave woulda been incredible, but my front foot slipped on what shoulda been the bottom turn so I got caught up in the slop. Time for a wax job. My third wave, "Alright, Alright, Alright, Alright" while it may not look like it...this was my best wave ever! I was working the board and Ru says, "It's better to turn than to have a long ride" Right on Ru!!!!

Picka

Went out with the right frame of mind. Be in spot X, be the hunter not the hunted. Then I saw a couple snowbirds back in town. They were distracting me and got me off of my game. They got in my head and I was intimidated. Oh well. The second ride was my best (of course the camera is down).  You have to look at the reflection on the board to see the ride.  On the third wave--I out ran a big (white-water) section. Don't think I've done that before. Then in true kook fashion, I messed up the backend. Then....Glenn killed a monster drop. I was stoked for him--he rocked a massive wave!!!!
