2009 Best Photos-Part 3

Taking Flight on Assateague Island



I wanted to focus on improving my wavesailing skills in 2009, so to that end, in March I got rid of my windsurfing windsurfing van...

....in favor of a Dodge Ram 1500 4wd truck.

Now Janis and I go off road in search of the best sandbar set up on the Delmarva



and we often find that ideal break on Assateague


2009 was definitely the year I unlocked the secret of Assateague.The scorability factor increased significantly once we took it “off road”, and I basically score every single time I head down there. You just have to have the desire and faith to make it work. A positive attitude is essential.

Side-on wind....


...gets you all twisted inside out

Epic Winter Storm

Well, weekend events and circumstances conspired to keep us grounded in Maryland, and as a result, I was unable to jump on what where some pretty good conditions. That being said, twas still an epic weather event here in Maryland. A low pressure system spun into an epic once in a generation noreaster. We got about 20 inches of snow in about 24 hours.

My Dodge Ram kicks all kinds of a$$ in this snow. I was blasting thru snow dunes like this. Hey, if i cant throw some spray off a lip this weekend, at least I'll throw some snow blasting around in my truck!! Yeeha!


30 inches on unplowed streets, and we just motored thru.

Janis and I where out an about all during the storm. Helping neighbors, and just enjoying the beauty of the storm. There was even thunder during the storm.


our backyard


our front yard had a some dunes at least 30 inches deep so I......


I dove off the porch and did a swan dive into dune. Had to do it twice cuz we missed the shot the first time. Such a bobby jack ;)




Christmas in a few days, and I'm sure there will a few more sessions in Lewes, and perhaps Assateague too. Stoked!
