The Maiden Voyage of the Sea Nymph

ByJeff

NEW VIDEO!  I know, I know.  You thought we reached episode 13 and were cursed.  Wrong, scurvy dogs.  We just got delayed by rain and holidays.  But I am happy to bring you EPF Episode 14: The Maiden Voyage of the Sea Nymph.

Aaron recently found a sweet Harbour Banana 40th Anniversary board on Craiglist; this was its inaugural run.  He is in love.  Also, I took my newly repaired Junod out and finally had a chance to really unleash it.  I am in love.  Peter unfortunately didn’t have as sweet a session as Aaron and I.  He is not in love.  Instead, he wound up with a giant knot on the back of his head.  He is in pain.

The waves were a bit sketchy and tough to read, but really fun when you picked off the right one.  They were waist to head high with a few overheads thrown into the mix.  I had a blast.  I think I may have accidentally taken all of Peter’s fun.

Also got to try out my new video camera (more on this later).  It has much better image stabilization that the Flip and much better zoom. However, there is still some shaking in this video because it was minus retarded degrees and we couldn’t stop from shaking.

Venice Chowder

All the guys arrived at El Porto only to find 1s and 2s at best.  Josh had a hunch that Venice might be better and that we should head up and find out.  So we all piled into our cars and travelled a few miles up the coast. At Venice, the wind was much more…

New Lexicon: Dragonslayer

I was out surfing yesterday, and there was still a bit of the big swell left over from earlier last week.  Left over swell tends to come infrequently.  The sets coming rolling in as they will.  One set comes.  A second set rolls through.  Three sets go by.  Then something looks amiss in deep water….
