Wave ride at Coast Guard Beach
Great day Yesterday at Coast Guard Beach here on Cape Cod. Wind was South/Southwest which is side off. Nice Chest high sets made for some fun little wave rides. VIDEO CLIP

New Wave Panthers Rock!!
I received my new Wave Panthers and a few days later we had the best 4.2m wave day of the year here in Chatham, Cape Cod. The wind was NNE which is side/side-on at the Chatham Lighthouse. The waves were logo high with mast high sets. Once on a wave when you turned and went down the line you were out of the wind because the wave was big enough to block the wind. Huge down the line rides and the smoothness of the Panthers made for a killer day!
Rocktober still living up to it’s name!
Day 3 of the month and we get cranking 3.7m. Nice surprise after being on 7 roof tops that morning installing weather instruments.

Vulcan Sept. 6 at Forest beach
October is hands down my favorite windsurfing month on Cape Cod! The water is still warm the tourists are gone and the fronts start rolling through. Day two of the month and we had a killer 4.7 session at Hardings Beach on Nantucket Sound. Sunny and warm. Bring it on!!!
What a great long weekend!!

Welcome July!
Well I think I jinxed the wind when I said “The SW winds have arrived!!!” They just shut down for the month of June. Definitely the worst June for wind on Cape Cod that I can remember!! The weather was hot and sunny so 98% of the population was happy. Us windsurfers are a funny crowd. Perfect beach weather does not cut it! Our faces light up when we see the beach umbrellas take off rolling down the beach like tumble weeds.
The SW winds have arrived!!!

Killer day today on Cape Cod (5-19-08)
The wind just kept building all day until I was able to hit the water at 3:30. Check out the Graph!! Rigged my all killer orange Ezzy 4.2m and was totally fired up. My good friend Peter Kimball took these pictures from the water with a GoPro Hero Camera. It’s funny how it does not look that windy in the pictures?
