Frozen Sandbar with Trees.

The sun is finally out here in Carova but my pipes outside are froze solid, Hopefully they'll thaw without any cracks, they have done that before without any problems.

Snow fall in Carova Beach, NC

Today at The Jetty..

One of my favorite things about stand up paddle surfing is the ability to see (and time) the oncoming sets. On this day last summer during the Hurricane Bill swell in Carova Beach, I was able to see an opening through the giant shorebreak and make it outside for an incredible day of paddlesurfing, completely alone.

Carova Beach sandbagging and dumptruckin'.

One home owner getting a rare permit to use sand bags instead of the usual sandfencing along with the occasional dumptruck load of sand.

The late fall Northeaster hits Croatan beaches!

The Jetty

Had a fun day in the water at The Jetty in Va Beach. Air was actually mild but when you're standing up on a paddle board it's very warm when the sun hits your black wetsuit. I felt bad for the prone surfers Lying in that cold water waiting for waves. Here is a comparison of conditions at The Jetty from last summer to that crazy Northeaster last fall.
