I hope everybody had a great day. I got so many great gifts and had an amazing day. I also got a little gift from the weather report too!

I left San Diego last night on the red eye flight after work, and as I landed in Boston this morning I realized something. It’s been a year since I first started this blog and put up the picture of my icy fin and the Christmas eve and Christmas day barrels. What a good year it’s been! I’ve met so many cool people over the last year and had so many cool experiences. I really enjoy doing the blog and I’d like to thank everyone who takes the time and visits my site.
Unfortunately the waves are a far cry from last year but hopefully there will be some icy waves soon! But either way It’s great to be back and I can’t wait to see everybody. Here’s a comparison of the waves from last year and today. Happy Holidays.

Last year

This year

Today was really fun. Shredable waves all over.

I surfed the institute before and after work today. The morning was just close out barrels and the evening was pretty rippable with a little side shore breeze. I surfed with mr. Hunter Lysaught and he was in full shred mode.

The waves were pretty small this morning so I decided to pass. There was a really cool sunset though.

This morning was by far the most crowded I’ve seen it in a long time. It was like having not just two pro basketball teams on the court but more like six and then having all the fans on the court trying to take shots as well. Since surfing wasn’t actually possible I went in for a bit. The wind came up and a ton of people came in so I headed back out and pretty much surfed until dark.

The morning started off small and junky but the winds have switched and the swell is coming up a bit. Its kind of like back east now. Small and strong offshores. Here’s some pics.

There were some fun waves today. I rode my new 5’8″ and it worked really well. I’ll have a post on the board later. Here are some pics from this morning.
