Dear North Pacific... Thank you

YES! The models are continuing to show new swells developing in the North Pacific.... Take that La Nina!  With  more swell on tap, I expect to see lots of smiling faces and plenty of chatter about stoked everyone is.  Personally I got out last night and caught some fun ones at a local uncrowded reef break... Beautiful sunset and surf, what else could you ask for!?

Brrrrr its Hump Day....

The East Coast is looking at some great surf later today and Thursday, but man I don't know if I could muster the strength to trudge through the snow across the beach and then get in that chilly water! sounds miserably cold!

West Coast should be enjoying some more surf with a few more pulses on the way.  Hope everyone is having an awesome hump day.  Should be able to slide down the face and enjoy some smooth surfing through the end of the week.

Getting over the hump in much warmer Hawaiian waters

I'm not here to play clean up after the janitors have their fun...

I'm not exactly sure how to vocalize how I feel right now.... All I know is that I'm frustrated.  Woke up this morning early to get out and beat the crowds, catch a couple waves before my day really got underway.  The surf was fun, there were some clean lines, and I was one of 3 people out.... Well kinda.  The other two were paddle boarders.  Now, you'd think that with it being a pretty much empty lineup, that the competition would be non-existent the vibe would be mellow, and everyone would be catching plenty of waves.  Not exactly.  My frustration lies within the feeling that paddle boarders must have picked up a different set of rules for the line-up during their short evolution.  Now this doesn't apply to all paddle boarders, I'm not talking about those of you that play by the rules, and are considerate of others around you.  I'm mainly speaking to those who are inconsiderate, selfish and altogether dangerous.  When every set wave is caught by the same kook sweeping his way in from the outside.... just to paddle back out and be in position up top to snipe off the next set wave before its even ridable for the rest of us.  I'm not here to play clean up after the janitors have their fun...

What was supposed to be a glorious sunrise and a much needed surf after a long week, has now started my day off with disdain, frustration and a little bit of hatred.  For those of you who this doesn't apply to, AWESOME, I'm glad that you either have no desire to ruin my day, or have the common decency to play by the gentleman's rules of SURFING.  Gendron-out

Giant Swell

The large Pacific swell that has been on the forecast for the past week or so should be slamming into Hawaii later today.  This could mean the Eddie could run tomorrow if conditions continue to look as promising as they are right now.  The 51101 buoy located NW of Kauai is showing periods around 21-seconds.  This puts the swell about two and a half days off the California Coast.... Looks like it could be a big one!

Nough Said....

oh this looks fun doesn't it?

looks like a pretty darn Swell week

There are a bunch of groundswells developing in the Pacific right now... I can't wait to get some surf this week!

Birthday Swells

It's my birthday today... and even though I'm sick (probably from surfing dirty waters in San Diego last week), I'm happy to announce pretty epic surf up and down the West Coast.  Grab those guns!!!  Hope everyone has a good day... I'm off to the Pacific NW, time to work off this cold so I can log some serious water time when I get back.  If anyone has any pictures from the recent swells feel free to send them to me, or post them on the Global Surf Reports facebook page!!!
