“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” — Aldous Huxley surfing 12 Everything happens only once. It is so important to remember that even within a routine, even within a pattern of praxis, what you are doing right now is inherently unique and unrepeatable. We never [...] Outdoor Recreation \• July 23, 2011
There are lessons one can only learn from surf and sand. What a glorious week of skimboarding sessions… afternoon low tides Monday through Saturday meant that most days we were out kicking the pipoboards around. Also, great weather, and friends in town, meant lots of kids on the beach, and a heck of a lot [...] Outdoor Recreation \• July 17, 2011
Surfing 08 Sunday I spent from about 1:30 to 6:00 pm out of the house, in a pretty active state. I went to Short Sand beach (in Smuggler Cove at Oswald West State Park) to surf for about 60 minutes or so from about 2:00 to 3:00 pm. The surfing was ok. Nothing huge, nothing [...] Outdoor Recreation \• July 12, 2011
Surfing (and Kayaking) 04-07 Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, July 10th through 12th. The wind has been down, and when it has been blowing, it’s been coming from the south. It’s brought moist warm air and warm surface waters to the North Coast. The hard, regional WNW swell that was kicking up so much sand during the [...] Outdoor Recreation \• July 5, 2011
Surfing session 03 Very early Tuesday morning, July 5th, did not look especially promising. On the plus side: almost no wind, only very light breezes from NNE, which meant that the beach break at Short Sand would be clean. Blue skies, which meant that the sun would come up over the basin of Smuggler Cove. [...] CrossFit Asheville WODS \• July 2, 2011
Surfing session 02 Saturday I tried to catch the latter half of the falling high tide, setting out at about 5:30 am for Indian Beach. It was mid 50s outside, overcast, drizzling, light north winds. According to one source, at 5:00 am, the buoy reports said the water was 53 degrees; according to another, they [...] Outdoor Recreation \• July 1, 2011
Session 01 I went to short sands mid-morning on Friday, July 1st. Overnight and in the early morning the winds were light and the surf forecast was 6-8 foot (which is huge), medium period, semi-glassy in AM moving towards junky in the PM as winds picked up. The tide was low right about 8:30 which [...] Outdoor Recreation \• January 8, 2011
“Maui is the best!” Ok, maybe there’s someplace better, but it doesn’t even matter if it’s true. It’s currently Saturday, January 8th, 2011. My last post was on Saturday, January 1st. I’ve been so busy with my family on this vacation that I just can’t find the time to catch up with my blogging. This [...] Outdoor Recreation \• January 1, 2011
Thursday, Friday, Saturday New Year’s Day, I got out for three more sessions on my Stand Up Paddle board. The wind has remained pretty constant at around 10 kts, mostly Northly and Easterly, so the surface has not been ideal, but it’s been a good training period for developing my skills on a SUP board. [...] Outdoor Recreation \• December 29, 2010
10k Sprint Workout View Larger Map Wednesday morning early I went out for a 10k distance walk/sprint session with my brother-in-law John Chun. It was good. John’s a natural athlete and had very little trouble keeping up with me. I had my VFFs on and that felt pretty good except, toward the end I developed [...] |
