The swell filled in during the afternoon, tomorrow morning is really looking up. I’m hoping the wind stays N for the morning – it’s expected to turn NE – ENE towards mid-day. Heres a little teaser from today, I shot video for the most part but Mike came out real late in the session and my camera was already off the tripod.

I’m sunburnt – the all knowing MSW says waves on T/W….see you then.
Spring Verses | Part 8
Waves today?! (thanks for the text Joel), waist to chest high ground swell filled in over night and stayed together until about noon. Pretty sun burnt and tired but stoked to finally get some better shots. The Sigma 120-400 OS lens came in today, I didn’t get to use it much but pretty stoked to be able to dial it in during low tide.
Downdays Part 2 should be ready pretty soon, I’m waiting for another big flat spell to finish it up.
Spring Verses | Part 7 – In the making
I’ve been tirelessly working on Part 7 of the Spring Verses series but there hasn’t been any waves so I’m a bit stuck. Snapped a few photos tonight while shooting the sunset. Hopefully surfing will resume tomorrow.
Montana | Winter 2010-2011
Looks like we may have a little bump coming in the swell forecast but I’m not going to talk about it because I’ll get disappointed when there is 2 ft wind chop on Friday.
I thought I would reflect on a great winter, unfortunately I still have terrible shin bang from 90 days in my cheapo ski boots. Some may not know that I took a 20 day adventure out to Bozeman, MT in January of this year and had a blast. We didn’t get much sun but there was new snow almost every night — check out some of the POV I brought back down below. Soon after Montana we stopped getting lazy and used the helmet mount and then upgraded to the backpack mount which is a bit steadier.
We will be back to surfing content on Wednesday.
Chest Mount
Silly deep day, surely one of the best days of my life.

The liftline shot at the end, but a few months previous — check out the stump I hit towards the end, I think I closely avoided serious injury…Lucas wasn’t so lucky, a few weeks later he pulled his hamstring on this same section and was off skis for two weeks.
Lastly, a message from Ralph.
Quabbin Reservoir
Happy Easter to all. Here is a shot from the Massachusetts water supply, the Quabbin Reservoir as well as a late evening orange glow shot from the wall. Looks like maybe some swell towards the end of the week, pretty stoked – STAY TUNED.
