Default East Coast Surfing

Last weekend surfing was sick, sick, sick. Here is a great vid I found in high def shot on the north side of Ponce inlet.

I am heading over again for some more stand up paddle action. It is expected to be knee to rib high....perfect!!!! I got my daughter of 3 years up and going on a stand up. Super stable and she had a blast. There is even room for both of us. The best day of surf I have ever had and it was only knee high. Next is the wife. I have been going about this surfing thing all wrong with her. This time should be a charm.

I just decided to stop bitching about the lack of wind and enjoy another great sport in Florida that definately works this time of year. Gabe has seen the light too. He did his 3rd session ever last week and he totally has the hang of it.....even in head high surf.

btw, saw the pic of you and your daughter on gulfster. Great pic, planning on standing my daughter on a longboard this weekend since she just learned to swim. SUP definitely good for the kids ... just cruising around with them surfing little mushburgers.

Tom....true dat. I wasn't at Ponce, but if I was I would have been on something under 7 foot for sure. Those were some nice waves.

These days, like in kiting, I want to get away from the crowds. Unfortunately, you sacrifice wave quality in doing so, but you sure get alot more waves when you stay away from the popular breaks.

We just surfed some of the sandbars in Cocoa and the waves were fun. I brought a hybrid stand up from Jimmy Lewis, but with the wind on it, it was a bit tough for me to hang....so I just used the arms and had an 11 foot longboard. Gabe was in the zone.

The coast is getting another pulse from Bertha so definately heading there tomorrow. Looks fun!!!!

Hoping we get some decent surf on either coast in the next 3 weeks... have an entire month free weekends and want to do some longboarding.

Planning to drive over (but can't this weekend) if anything shows.
