The Maiden Voyage of the Sea Nymph
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.

Sorry about the shaky cam dude, that’s my fault. My hands were freezing. Great way to start out on the new ride though, it was a totally fun sesh
I was shivering just as much. At least you weren’t wearing the strawman, you would have had hypothermia.
need to stop working for the man so I can get out on Fridays again – looked like a fun time.
You are missed J man
Indeed you are missed out there. Looking forward to your return!
Just watched this again for old-times sake. Still so surprised at the mellow shape of those waves at the secret spot. Looks so fun. I can’t wait to get back out.
Me too! I miss getting out with you dudes, its been an insanely busy year
