I spent a half hour in the dentist chair this week for the first time in over 7 years. So yeah…that was fun but I had to get my teeth cleaned. I began a new project for the building I live in. Redoing the website to better represent our building and so far it’s coming along nicely. I wish I had more time to work on it but so far its been a nightly thing but it’s a big step up from what was there before. If you’d like to see the new site go here: http://www.610clematisstreet.com/ My Fisheye lens arrive from Amazon this week as well so I took a couple hours shooting photos for the building website. So much fun taking odd and wide angle shots of random places around my building. I also had a team of three little Mexican’s come over to my house and clean it (thoroughly) for the first time since Trish and I broke up a few years ago. My house is rarely filthy but I don’t get down and clean every little nook or wipe the floorboards down and clean the little things. They did an amazing job and it only took...

The holiday weekend was one for the books. A full day of boating with new friends over at Peanut Island, swimming, drinking and an all around great time. Sunday was happy hour up in PGA and Sunday night was another downtowner with friends. This is a shot of the boat we took out. My buddy is in the Boat Club so he gets a selection of boats to reserve a few times a month so this could be a regular occurrence. Nice! I could do that every weekend for sure – thanks Brant!...

Surfed Delray from STRIPSET on Vimeo. I found this video when searching around last night just thought I’d share what it actually looked like on Delray beach on Friday, August 26th. Thanks Hurricane Irene! What a great day to be in the water!...

We’ve got another storm on the horizon that could potentially bring us some additional surf if it doesn’t head into the North Atlantic and dissipate. Right now it’s only measuring 45 mile per hour winds but by Sunday it’ll be off the coast of Puerto Rico with forecasted 115mph winds. I’ll be keeping a close on this one over the next couple weeks. If it takes a turn to the west a few degrees we should all be in for another great weekend of waves....

The weekend held some great surf for us thanks to Hurricane Irene. The hurricane itself basically never really hit the coast at all. We had some bands of heavy rain that lasted for 20 minutes at a time and nothing in between. Friday I cranked out a website in the morning and waited for my buddy D. to get up here from Key West so we can hit the beach in Delray. We met Ramil on the beach around 3 or so and proceeded to paddle out into some huge 12-14 foot surf. It was crazy…it took at least 15...

I just shot this a few minutes ago at the Wall on Palm Beach. Reef Rd. was really firing with double overhead sets and some gnarly wipeouts. Wish I was out there but by the time I checked it, packed up and wheeled my ass out there it’d be dark so I’ll have to sleep and dream of big glassy waves and offshores. Till tomorrow!...

It’s beginning to get a bit windy around here. Current winds are only about 18 mph but soon to increase. I just checked StormPulse and it’s just offshore right now about to lay down some serious rain. Half of my neighbors still have crap on their balconies so this could get interesting watching that stuff fly around. Current winds of Hurricane Irene are 115 mph just northeast of Nassau, Bahamas. Right now I’m just hoping it doesn’t move too fast to the north so we can a longer window of swell activity which would hopefully give us both Friday and...
