Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas....

Arvo session

 Solid double ups over the inside bar. Ding and myself for the afternoon, joined later by one other.

Treadmills

The unusual cold

The ice travels down the river, pulled by tide and flow. A thin chatter takes place between the edges of liquid and solids. The whispered conversation makes me think of ages past. Of centuries when ice controlled  all around here.

Bird-fudd

This meal ended up high on the dune, must have been a 9' tide......

The icy Nestucca

It's a cold day here on the river Y, on the backside of those trees a few freezer waves are peeling off some choice walls.

Bigger bombs

Always some new and bigger.......

This swell has teeth

Many of these moments as long period swell detonated,

clear water and thumpy sandbars.

Best sessions away from the usual.

Air drops with just the rail holding a line til the feet caught up,

loads of shadow time. Just two out. Felt it later after many beat downs.

Nicks and bruises.

All good.
