Some of you may have known but I've been in the Bahamas the past week, hence the lack of posts.  But I have something for you.  Almost one year ago we experienced some really good waves.  It was really foggy and I couldn't get a fast enough shutter speed so I shot video.

Now back in the states, I took some time to edit all the clips.

The video was shot last year, March 12, 2010.  It was one of my first attempts at video so I wasn't using a tripod or had a clue really what I was doing.  Good waves though.

I've gathered a bunch of clips and shots over the past few weeks.  This is the post you'll see most of them.  I am still torn up after missing out on Sundays barrel session.  Blah, here are some pictures.


Friday 3/4

Friday started off with the hope of some sizable windswell changing to cleaner conditions late in the day.  Didn't really materialize with only few people out not doing much. Kiteboarder was having fun though....

  
...After leaving the Washout, driving on Folly Road, hoping for some clean waves in the future I witnessed several of these whizzing by me...


...A good rule of thumb when determining to turn around and follow the fire trucks is when you've never even seen that type of rescue truck before.  So I turned around and as I was coming over the last little Folly Bridge I saw this at the boat launch...




 ...Although an extensive rescue was attempted the second man was not found in time.  An official investigation into the accident where one man died, is still ongoing...


Saturday 3/5

Saturday afternoon at the Washout.  Waves were much bigger and the wind turned more squarely onshore so the drift chilled out.  (Some photos required ISO's above 400 ('noise','sketch colors')

 
Sunday

Don't want to talk about it.  BAHHHHH Stupid work.




Monday

You know how I told you I was going to make Sunday up to you people?  Well I freakin tried.  I bit the bullet and woke up at the crack of dawn hoping there would be swell left over from Sunday afternoon.  Yeah...



I like doing posts like this.  Maybe more like this to come in the future.  I heard Bryant over at Thomas Bros Blog got some footage of Sunday afternoon.  Keep an eye on it.

I missed it this afternoon! Because of work! On Sunday?!!!

Yeah, I kept checking the cam at work and let's just say I thorughly dissapointed with myself for being at work.  Let's hope for some leftovers in the AM.
