Droppin' in Sequence ...

BIG MAHALO"S to Jesse Cadman for snagging a 5 shot sequence utilizing the GoPro camera swimming in the impact zone shooting me dropping in on one of the set waves during yesterday's session, Dec. 29th . 

Not bad for HILTON HEAD ISLAND. 

great afternoon session

We were blessed with some 3-5 ft surf this afternoon. Warm temps graced with the west winds cleaned up the surf. Jesse Cadman took the go pro shots and I snagged a few with the Cannon from the beach. very one had some great rides. 2 dozen surfers and 8 or 9 SUP ers out sharing the waves. 

This is what I like about winter. Water not bad, warm air temps and sharing good waves with  my friends..  Makes for a memorable session to end the 2013 year…  

 Head high fun
