Surfing In Maine

Finally! Due to financial constraints and timing this has been the first weekend that I was able to join the guys on a surftrip; and after a month of flatness they were finally able to get back in the water. And it was great!

After an interesting Friday night, where the campground refused to let us setup, becuase even with reservations we were past the ‘cut off’ time for check-in. As if we would have reserved a spot that we couldn’t get into after driving all the way from Montreal. So we ended up camping out at a rest area …. sketchy anyone? ;-) It went ok, though on very little sleep.

Saturday was amazing, especially for a weekend in July. Steady waist high waves with sets easily shoulder high. Clean in the morning, slightly choppy around midday and super clean in the evening. It was the first time out on the 8′ mini-mal, and it went great. Caught some sweet rides, even trimming along in the curl a couple of times for some long rides.

Sunday was smaller, but still had sets coming in at waist/chest high and it was still pretty clean. The afternoon had Banane, Steve and I sitting alone out on this one peak just having an amazing session.

Finally the season is beginning. Stoked!!
:-)
