Paddle in the Gulf again....

Went for a 5 mile paddle today in the Gulf near Hernando Beach. I paddled to a couple islands that lay offshore in the flats. Was a beautiful day, water in low 70* F, air in the mid 80*f . Summer for me...The little 8-10 WP from Starboard paddles pretty good for a surf model.

Few more from the weekend....

Here is a couple from Jesse using his GoPro this past weekend.

Still we will have some surf in the onshore wind swell ..a bit choppy but its surf..

Couple from today....

Fun waist to chest high waves today. Winds went offshore just after 8 am when most everyone left. I scored several sets in the 3-4 ft range.. These are frame grabs from video I shot. Still trying to figure out i-movie so it will be a while.. Looks like son surf in the am again tomorrow. We'll be on it...

....waist high fun this morning...

Seppe , Jesse and I shared some fun clean waves at daybreak. We had exchanged waves all morning until the winds swung around from the East and chopping up the surface. Was good to get some ''real waves'' ..Looks like am sessions will be cleaner..

Few little waves this afternoon

The cool front was dropping thru causing rainy windy conditions but the surf cleaned up just for a little while as the thunder clouds passed bye . I was in the right moment in time to score a few clean thigh + high waves. I did miss my few SUP friends I usually share the waves with....I experienced about 30 mins of light winds before the strong gusty winds blew thru chopping up the surf , all with-in 10 minutes. It went to SHIT..... FAST... .Was great to get in the water and I'm really enjoying the new 8-10 WP.
