Moon Tubes at 2:30am
No doubt we aren’t the only ones to have entertained a dream or two of surfing by moonlight. During the heart of a long Alaskan winter it’s only natural to consider this…with only eight hours of daylight and a 10-20ft tide fluctuation you’d think the chances of the surf peaking at night are relatively high. Well, after [...]

Fly-out surfing a remote Alaskan break
Yet another successful fly-in fly-out surfari to the Petrof Glacier break. Something to put in the back of your mind for the next time you are scheming on flying over a coastal mountain range for a day at a remote surf break . . . What you see on your side is likely not what you’ll [...]

Surfing Alaska – January 22nd, 2010
January 2010 was a pretty slow month for us Homer, Alaska surfers. We were eager when a swell finally showed up on the 22nd. Honestly, I can’t remember much about these sessions - judging by the small number of photos, I must have spent most the swell window in the water recovering from the preceding [...]

Surfing Petrof Glacier 1.8.10
As promised, this post is the meat and potatoes of our last fly-out surf trip to Petrof Glacier, Alaska. Check out the first half of this adventure, which is just getting to this remote beach, in my last post - Surfing Petrof Glacier 1.8.10 – Getting There. With the short daylight of the Alaskan winter [...]

Surfing Petrof Glacier 1.8.10 – Getting There
In 2009 our dreams of surfing this particular remote break in Alaska were realized, several times actually. All told I think there was about seven attempts at getting there and maybe four successes. The spot is called Petrof Glacier because the beach we surf is nearby the glacier and it’s the easiest way to locate [...]

Slushy Surf in Alaska
Surfing in Alaska we get to see a lot of unusual things. These waves in Anchor Point a few days ago were cool, really cool, almost frozen, like a salt slurpee. I was mesmerized, in a desperate effort to try and capture this sight, despite the flat light, I shot some video and photos: We thought [...]

What did santa surf?
It’s become a bit of a tradition to go surfing on Christmas day here in Alaska. Well, at least for about five of us in Homer anyhow. Every year we wonder if Santa will show up and what kind of wave slider he’ll be using. Not too surprising then when he did make an appearance [...]

Surfing Alaska – November 18th, 2009
It’s been blowing snow for the last couple days, 4 inches this morning alone. The storm surf was epic yesterday- So epic that none of us even tried to paddle out after watching a few set waves on the Homer Spit that were about 10ft on the face. If it wasn’t 23ºF and blowing snow [...]

Aren’t we all thankful for tubes?
I’ve been looking forward to posting a few of these shots from a sunrise surf session in Alaska. Looking through them here on Thanksgiving day brought up thoughts of stuffing – stuffing tubes that is. Some nice walls, some awesome closeouts and a few perfect rides. Share and Enjoy:
