Fun knee/thigh high SUP waves this Morning

The little ESE swell still showing it self even w/ a dropping tide. RuRu, Barbara Anne, Mick and I paddled and had a fun little session. It only lasted an hour or so before the tide dropped too much for the waves to break. Was knee/thigh high little prefect peelers and glassy, very little wind. Always fun with paddling with your friends. I know the SSW winds will be on the afternoon high tide.. Could be fun..

RuRu gliding bye....

Skull Creek Paddle and High Tide Paddle Surf session

Jesse and I had a full day of paddling. In the morning we paddled all over Skull Creek. Found a couple of points that hold little boat wake waves. The Ferry cruised by a few times and Jesse was able to snag a wave as it peeled down the shoals. Paddled by Hudson's Docks thru the fleet of Shrimp boats. ''Forest Gump'' flash back...Headed over to the shoals for a couple more ferry wakes but tide and direction for wake paddling all wrong.. After lunch we headed to Burke's for a Paddle Surf Session. There was a 2 ft ESE swell that was shadowed by the 10 knot SW winds. Fun thigh high choppy waves with 3/4 wave sets at 5 minute wait. Little sections for rebounding and re-form rides to the inside. Always fun on the SUP.. Awesome day with a great friend....

First attempt at a SUP slide show.

A new program that downloaded for the water camera that creates, plays and records slide shows and videos. I was bored tonight so this is my first attempt at it. So here it goes. The SUP riders are my friends and I from my past posts. Some newer pics and oldies. I think it will work. Have to work on the speed of the slides. I can always delete the post if doesnt work. It was created in Quick Time format. If I have success this maybe a new way to post group pics.. Thanks, Glen

8-19 , Tuesday Stand Up Crew

The tropical storm 'Fay' comes ashore in lower Florida. Here in SC. we're receiving the feeder bands from the storm with East-North East winds . The on- shore winds provide a small local 2-3 foot swell. Choppy conditions. Fun but challenging. We had Eric Ruhlin, Jamie Maples, Jesse Cadman and Glen B. on the stand up crew.. As always fun w/ friends no matter the conditions. Tim Neil from ''Beach Break Grill'' showed up w/ his camera and took some great shots of our little SUP session. Tim's pics below.. Mahalo Tim

Fun Pre- TS "FAY" Waist high waves. today..

We had some great clean thigh to waist high waves today. Five minute wait between sets of 3-4 waves... Only four of us out early. 6:30am to 8am was the best incoming push. I was on the 10'-3'' PSH , Jamie was on the 10'-0'' JL 'surf' SUP and Eric was on the JL 11' . Scott from Scott's Fish Market was surfing his Rusty Longboard. We all traded waves for the hour & half session. I was getting the PSH wired and I'm there and Jamie was all over the lefts. Eric was gliding down the line and Scott had these long, long rides. What a great session. Now kids out surfing. Why? School started today.. John, Pat, Eric S. Billy paddled out at high tide to close out the morning waves They also scored fun clean waves... . No action pics, everyone wanted to be in the water... Can't blame them.... As was I

Samples of the waves..
