Waves, What waves?

Ok, there was a little surf last week, but I missed it and am still in denial. Joe McGovern and Eric Anderson did not miss it (check out shot #5). Would someone please get that kid a 6'4"?

The first couple shots in the Surfline gallery were from ESM Photogrpaher of the year Mike Nelson, who made a trip up here last month and never seems to miss it.

RI Photog Andy Parsons has the best shots I've seen from the swell yet. A couple of the waves in his shots were easily twice the size of anything in the Surfline gallery. How 'bout it Andy, can I post a couple?

The Surfline shots all look pretty cold though. This is the time of year where you should be trying to figure out a way to get down south, not beating yourself up about missing the best swell of the year right?

Seeing that there was no surf this week I went up to Rye on Saturday to shoot some skating. Half of my 30 something crew took themselves out before they were warmed up which allowed the groms to take over...
