Sandy-Sailing The Backside Of The Storm

Monday, i scored a secret spot in Ocean City Maryland. Had to be secret cuz technically there was a state of emergency

a quick recon

and it was go time 

Blasting out toward Ocean City 

Solid 4.5 

 

Stoked 

Sandy Day 4-We Were Fortunate

Our beach at the store, and half of the parking lot was covered in 12+ inches of water

the point is covered as well 

Sharks cove gas dock

Marquis took some damage

good shot from the store

minor damage to the outside of the store 

after the recon, I did sail the backside. More on that later

 

 

Sandy-Day 2 Revisited

Fabulously epic day on Sunday. 4.5 Legend and the 75 quad

Lewes, Delaware is MY home break , and the cool thing is, when its really windy and conditions get good, there are no strings attached

moderate shore break-but totally manageable

here's a shot of my friend Ian

lots of white water

relatively onshore

full power backside hits

gybing in between swells was a dream

 

 

This had never happened to me before. Emergency personal came out, but not as spectators

they got my friend Ian, telling him to pack it up 

and they waited for me to come in....but I never did. lol

not until the gave up any way.... Its funny, i was on my way in for a break, while they were waiting, and Janis urges me to stay out...she mouthed the words " stay out-dont come in" so I did. LOL. PRICELESS

Stan and I sailed for about 3 hours-epic stuff 

very well organized on the inside for gybes 

 

backside hits where a blast

soooooo much fun 

The first 2/3 of the sesh where relatively precipitation free. But then it started to deteriorate. and got very gusty too.

spend a lot of time rubbing the rain out my eyes 

 

I gotta tell ya

flying thru the air like this 

is no fun at all ;) 

 

 

 

one of the best sessions of the year for sure
