It's August, therefore it's warm. Lows in the 40s are just not acceptable.

Yesterday, I wore my drysuit, but after realizing the river felt like a hot tub, compared to the air, I was glad I had a couple pin holes.

Gee PKH, it was t-shirts and shorts on the Jetty for our 3 great days there.....

Blowhard & company are gracious hosts and we were well served! Oh, and Gman rolled in with the goods Friday night - sweet!

awesome labor day weekend with blowhard, regi and the florence crew - sick wind and waves fri and sat - was a bit worried on friday pulled up and looked foggy and bleak and then out of mist appears two kites - the northsyde boys - slither and barfly tearin it up

today was dead but the sun came out and got a sunset surf session in the inlet - beautiful peelin waves - got a nice workout keepin from being ejected out the inlet - greg let me try his sup and did much better with the paddle assist

strange hangin at the jetty gettin a tan - downright tropical

So how long did it take you to swim across the river and you do that for fun Laughing

Some shots from the weekend - camera died on the surf session in the inlet (makes me sad) those local boys were killing it

Good job on the swim!

Boy that Gman really gets the goods.

It's a wonder there's even wind, waves or sun anywhere he's not.
