Two Storm turning the Atlantic Waters == WAVES !

Looks like a long period Swell will be heading our way next mid week. Two TS/ possible Hurricane storms will be developing and moving up in the mid Atlantic sending us a 3 ft at 10-14 sec period swell  

Kirk and Leslie will be trowing is some surf  mid week .We'll have late morning tides and hope light winds allowing us cleaner conditions than the NE/ Issac wind this past swell ....

Fix your dings, wax the boards,  alter your scheduling making  time for a board meeting.. .

Fun Choppy Surf on the Brushed Carbon WP

We have had some easterly wind fetch due to the being on the right side of the TS Isaac thats in the Gulf. A wind swell graced our shores for a couple of days, Was able to get on the new 

Starboard's  8-10, Wide Point Brushed Carbon model.. Still have to figure the fin placement out. I snapped a few from the nose of the board and took a few waves wearing the GoPro Chest Harness. . Neat perspective. The deck pad colors stand out in the dark ''chocolate milk' like water we have here..

Isaac and Joyce Heading are way

UPDATE....  Looks like Joyce fizzled out no swell from that storm.. and Isaac look like it will stay south of the Islands into the Gulf.. We will receive a NE wind fetch for a few days.  Its from the pressure differance between the the storm below and the high pressure off in the atlantic..Nor'Easter for a few days as we always get in the first of Sept.. Its waves though..

 Here is the wind swatch forecast for the two storms

 This is the Wave Action Model for the two storms.Isaac will give us a local wind wave on Sun thru Tues. Wait to see what the local winds do.. Then Joyce will give us a back ground swell thurs / fri  as wee see its fetch .. In ant event we will have waves..

Guiding lesson GoPro point of view

Went out today and shared SUP with several guests. I attached the GoPro on the nose of a Starboard Whopper and was able to grab several moments from our trip. We glided by a Manatee but was unable to get it in the frame. Was a great day for Stand Up , calm windless flat water.  You all know I'm thinking of waves.  Had to duck under the bridge as it if  was a lip from a breaking wave..

Paddlers  all around, sitting on plastic or standing on epoxy ..its all good

Starboard SUP.... Something for everyone..

Starboard's 8-10 Wide Point Brushed Carbon

Here is the Starboards 2012 , 8-10 Wide Point SUP  in the Brushed Carbon technology. It comes with a Quad  plus one fin set up so you can ride it as a Twin, thruster,  2 plus 1, a quad and 5 fin. Opens up several options. The dementions; 8'-10'' x 32'' x 4.2 thickness  displacing 143 liters and weighing in at just over 15 pounds. The star touch technology on the deck becomes sticky when wet. The wide point has its width forward of center with a pulled in round  tail. This allows great stability in chop and gives it the looseness on a wave. The nose rocker allows for late take offs and prevents from burying the nose. Tail rocker gives it the lift to be meneuverable on the wave. The boards width and volume gives great stalibility for riders 180 lbs plus..  A definate must have in your quiver...
