Wed Jun 04, 14 9:04 am Big Tuesday-Best gorge day ever |
|
|
Pepi said it best on FB. No point is speculating swell size. It was just epic, probably best gorge day ever. Glad to have been a part of the viento downwinder with gman, phil, mark, Kramer, stringy, mike etc. followed up by the Kirsten, pepi, bam bam crew. If anyone has pics, please post.

I honestly tried to take some photos with my GoPro, but those conditions were so ridiculously rowdy all my photos show is blurred big blobbing waves and white spray.
Definitely a few shots of my face as I am turning on the camera, where my facial expression looked more like a I was falling off of a cliff (full freaking out fish face).
Oh, yah, and the sound mic picked up either howling wind, or Kirstan and I screaming at each other like howler monkeys.
Yup, stupid big day with ridiculously overwhelming emotions afterwards.
I've tasted the crack and I need more.....

I just remember looking across the river thinking "WTF IS GOING ON HERE?" Like it was some kind of next level new element different kind of wind / river / global warming / apocalypse that even Al Gore could not explain.
I have not had a sense of wonder about the river like that since my very first time venturing into the channel on a 10m Aero in 2003. The swell at the time seemed like 15 footers when really it was probably barely 3 feet.
Yesterday was the real deal though... endless field of bigguns. Nothing will ever replace ocean wave riding for me but you don't see swell stack on itself like that in the ocean, it made me wonder how many places on earth does it even happen and how often.

Sat Jun 07, 14 10:52 pm Any more shots from FAT Tuesday? |
|

Anymore photos from the Hatch last Tuesday? Keep them coming! What I've seen are unreal.
Who was the photographer on shore around 5:00pm with a tan long lens and tri-pod? Would love to see the reel of those shots. $$ . It set up the best late that day with some super smooth rollers. Makes you yearn for more!!

The 2 photographers on the point were Steve Datnoff and Richard Hallman.
