The East Coast is usually supposed to be good during the fall. So far we have only really had three tropical swells and they were fun but nothing amazing. Florida only got two of those swells and after being home for over two weeks and only surfing once I was getting the itch. The forecast reports started claiming that there was going to be a good size north swell with possible good winds in the outer banks of north carolina. I decided to charge up there and see if i could get lucky and get some fun solid waves. Oliver Kurtz was in cali and i told him that i was heading up there. He hasn't ever experienced a good swell there before so he got a ticket and met me there. We ended getting great waves for five days straight. From big thick barrels to super clean fun barrels. It was definitely hard to get them cause of the crazy drift but when you got one it was amazing. After five days of nonstop paddling and running up the beach my body is pretty beat up but it's a good feeling knowing that I surfed my brains out.

Well, the past two days have been some of the most frustrating and disappointing excuses for waves I've seen from a hurricane. I did so much driving and didn't reap many rewards. I only got Sebastian inlet fun one afternoon where the light was good and there were 7 photogs on the beach. While I'm waiting to see the results from that session, there were no other good waves to be had on my part for the rest of the swell. Melbourne was too big and closed out, NSB and Daytona were good yesterday I heard but I got that call too late before I could head up, and the OBX and Jersey were too large, then New York, Maine and all those spots were really good but I couldnt arrange a crew to get up there. So basically I had a shocker on this hurricane swell. These are photos are from the other night where no one was around at Inlet except a local photog.
Hopefully there's more to come.

That's right baby, England. I arrived here last week to compete in the 5 Star WQS Contest at Fistral Beach Newquay in hopes so score some fun waves, get some points to boost my rating, and get out of the dead flat conditions that Central Florida has literally had the whole summer. I realize now that's exactly what I did, made a good chunk of change, got some solid points, scored some really fun waves, but I didn't do as well as I wanted to in the contest.
But all in all it's been a really fun trip so far and it's unlike any other place i've ever been in the world. (and it's always fun to visit the mother country) Now I'm sitting here in London, taking in the scenery, doing a bit of touristy stuff, and just chillin' with my parents in the not so great weather. I'll be here for three more days, then i'm off to France to compete in the contest in Bordeaux next week. I've never been to France and I can't wait to visit the place and eat some baguettes and hopefully get some more fun waves!
Anyway, here are some pics from the trip thus far. I didn't realize it but I'm kinda getting into photography a little bit. I always end up taking frames of scenery and stuff so hope you like these... — O
