Sidebottom

If Sidebottom paddles south, you follow him. If he paddles north, you follow him. If he paddles west... well, you can't paddle very far west on this coast, but he hopped off the Slidebottom and got in his car. We'll miss him as he chases the sun cross-country, but the crew gave him an appropriate sendoff. 

Thank you, Mike, for everything. For opening your home to us, for delicious breakfasts, for trustworthy and thorough swell reads, for spreading serious stoke - waves or no waves. He's left New England for now, but we're fairly certain his blood will bring him back someday.

It was a truly incredible display of nature's power today.

The winds have switched and things could be quite fun tomorrow.

Some of the houses across from the Beach Plum were ripped off their supports and tossed slightly farther up the beach.

New England Blood

In conjuction with Eastern Surf Magazine's fantastic article about New Hampshire surfing by Nick McGregor, we made a video about fall in New England from a surfer's perspective.





You can read Nick's article and the rest of the ESM issue here.

Fall is when we feel most at home in New England.

Mount Clay

We hiked Mount Clay this morning for sunrise, hoping for a dramatic fall sunrise over the great gulf. Hiking at night is a very interesting and different experience and being above treeline at night was pretty surreal. We were also greeted by a dramatic winter landscape for much of the mountain. The clouds at the summit were obstructing our view to the east and we never saw the sunrise, but we were treated to some incredible cloud movement and dramatic views to the west.  Not exactly what we expected but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
