HURICANE MARIA Story-9/30/2017

Surfing hurricane teddy day two

Surfing hurricane teddy today

9/21/2020

 
70f, full summer, still wind, 17 second periods, big and growing waves.
It’s really exciting to surf in conditions like this. Not that crowded.
I surfed for hours in warm clear water, just waiting for it to build up but I guess it will not be getting bigger like it was supposed to. That’s ok, season just started. I’m going to sleep really hard tonight after four hours of non-stop paddling!

First surf in 7 months!

I left my house at 3:30 am
Picture
New haven bridge lights. For YEARS they were violet. As soon as the virus started killing people, they made them hellish-red.
Picture
The sky gets lighter little by little, minute but minute, mile by mile.
Picture
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING compares to the ocean at daybreak. You guys sleep all you want, but I’m ALIVE when I see scenes like this!
Picture
Big waves look better than they are for surfing
Picture
Many sets were closeouts, and one had to position on the side to actually catch a ride. It looked better than it was, and with 200+ people in the water, it just was not worth the time and effort.
HOWEVER, I do not give one shit about that surf session. It was solely preparatory work for the upcoming winter season which starts tomorrow, with the upcoming hurricane “Teddy,” a category 4 hurricane that will pulverize ships at sea and give surfers waves for four days. Big waves. Dangerous waves. Fun waves.
Picture
This is Tuesday, and if you would like to see the power of global warming combined with the ocean, hop in the car and go see it for yourself Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
