OBX Super Fun

What Up Surfriders ,

The surf is super fun on the north side of the bank today. Full moon high tide and fun little groundswell produced a great morning with only Keith and myself out for hours of glassy fun. Here's an overexposed sequence due to a super sunny morning of Boogie catching another perfect set with only the 2 of us out . East Coast Championships going of this weekend due to Igor washout last week , stay tuned , Zog

1 For The Money

Hola Surfriders ,

Hope you had a great weekend , as I did the" you call we haul "thing , but did catch a few waves . Here's one from this morning , it's for those of you complimenting me on my editing skills. Just 1 crappy wave before my battery died at 30 seconds plus. { note to self :charge camera and sleep before hitting good surf }. It was awesome to see such good surf as everyone surfed so well , Brad , Brian , Melissa, Sam , Dan C. { who I saw catch some 1 minute plus rides }, and Drake "King of the Nose " Courie . I wish I would have taken other camera out as there were so many good rides in such good surf . The surf really improved towards noon with some incredibly long rides to be had. Say a prayer for our fallen brother Curt , who rode his final wave yesterday in Surf City. I was working in Cape Fear Hospital ED yesterday when he arrived , as many of us were fighting back the tears , I could only hold onto the fact the he passed doing what so many of us have in common and love , chasing the ultimate wave . Watch out for your fellow surfers , and enjoy their stoke as much as yours. Zog

Pulsing at the Pipe

Howzit Surfriders ,
First of all Thanks to The Master Cylinder himself , Keith for the lift this morning as my truck is getting serviced for upcoming swell chasing . I'll have to admit I probably would have grabbed my PSH and headed north , but it was truly a blessing in disguise. Keith and I were the only 2 out for a cylinder fest and one of the funnest sessions I've ever had at the pipe.Waist to shoulder , straight offshore , incoming tide a too many perfect corners to count .This is one of the first shots found when I plugged in the Go Pro , with more to come. Go eat your Wheaties cause here comes Igor. Zog

Sunday Suprise

Good Morning Surfriders ,

A few little smoothies this morning , a little weak but nice smooth conditions. Had a blast surfing quad fish , looking for little pockets. Her comes Igor , looks like more good surf . Hope he stays offshore as he looks as if he's gonna have some punch. Hope your surfing and have a great day.Zog

Hidden Gem

Morning Surfriders ,

Going through the wrist cam this morning and found this one and only shot from recent Frisco pier session. That's Sam Fanjoy riding my board during a 4 + hour surf session just south of Frisco pier 2 weeks ago. Sam and I surfed for hours by ourselves in super fun waist to shoulder high glass with crystal clear water . I remember I took the camera out and as Go Pro's like to do it decided to shot 2 pix and go back to sleep , must have left the power button on earlier. Good times on the south side. Zog

Earl Shot from Z

Yo Surfriders ,
Here's a shot from our Hurricane Earl Lockwood Folly session . Z took it while on donut break and got a great sequence[ move shots later] . Sure am glad I caught to catch a ton of waves from Earl as nothing producing any significant swell in the near future. Thanks for the awesome shot Z , pray for surf ! Zog
