Active Rest \• December 28, 2010
Tuesday morning came, and with it a long morning drive to Kahului and a visit to Hawaiian Island Surf and Sport; that got me back in the game for Stand Up Paddle surfing. The guys at the shop had a good humor about my wreck, considering it was a truly nasty ding. Karl, who was [...] Active Rest \• December 27, 2010
Trying something new: this morning I got up on a stand up paddle surfboard, and went out into the rolling swell in Napili Bay (here on Maui). This was my first time on a SUP surfboard. Man it is not easy. I didn’t catch any swells, but I did come close once or twice. It’s [...] Outdoor Recreation \• August 10, 2010
Before reality set in and I was forced to pack up gear and family and head back to North Carolina, I got in two final sessions, one at Shorties and one at Indian Beach. Conditions were less than ideal, but still, I got in some of the best riding of the summer. Monday, Aug. 9th: [...] Outdoor Recreation \• August 7, 2010
Here are some notes on my last two “sessions,” one a near miss and the other a full miss, both demonstrating that my summer surfing adventure is in danger of going out with a whimper, though my addiction to the water remains firmly in place. Surfing 31: Friday at Indian Beach With Dad Friday afternoon [...] Reviews \• August 5, 2010
Reviewed in this post: Norman Ollestad, Crazy for the Storm: A Memoir of Survival (New York: HarperCollins, 2009; Ecco 2010). A wonderful and exciting read, Norman Ollestad’s personal memoir Crazy for the Storm should appeal to surfers, skiers, fathers, and sons, and anyone interested in stories of eleven year old boys who survive alpine plane [...] Outdoor Recreation \• August 5, 2010
Surfing 30: with Johnny C and Dad at Short Sand Beach Thursday morning we set out early, driving out at just about exactly six am and getting into the water by about six thirty.

Surfing 28: Sunny Monday Afternoon at Indian Beach When I left Arch Cape at 3:00 on Monday afternoon, it was gray, cloudy, even drizzling. But as I arrived at Indian Beach it was sunny. The winds were light to non-existent, and I set out into blue water on a surprisingly glassy surface. Waves were two [...] Outdoor Recreation \• August 1, 2010
Been too busy to write down sessions and such but I lifted today and it seemed like I should make a record. Since I last lifted (last Sunday) I have been on five good surfing sessions (Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat) and on Thursday I did an approximately 5 mile run / 500 foot climb [...] Outdoor Recreation \• July 31, 2010
This post is more of a placeholder than anything else. The week of July 26-31st was an active one for me. The surf was mellow, and the winds even more so, especially in the mornings. We were being visited by Kelley Droege and Sophie Beckham with their kids, so we were pretty busy with friends [...] |
