As it was, these three swells started on a Sunday in South Jersey, continued midweek with a giant South swell, and ended with a bang on the following Saturday. Did […]

At this point, traveling to Costa Rica to find waves just seems too obvious. Yet, like all two-week trips, you’re always leaving some decisions up to chance: Like the possibility of sacrificing waves at home for the unknown.

Where is the Petro Dragonic Apocalypse?

Is the Petro Dragonic Apocalypse a sequel to Murder of the Universe? For me, the Murder of the Universe album is a bit reminiscent of the movie Alien. While Petro Dragonic Apocalypse: Dawn of the Eternal Night is more like what happens when a hoard of those aliens, and their leader takes over all realms. […]

Another OBX Affair

It’s been a decade-long love affair with the Outer Banks. All these years, the trip South has never gotten stale. Each year excitement builds, the weather wanes, and the Southern shores seem more appealing. This year was no different as whispers of the voyage called to travelers from New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and even […]

Hurricane Earl: Summer 2022

The first Hurricane of the Atlantic’s 2022 season was called Earl. An interesting and long-lasting storm: Surfers on the East Coast rode the swell for four days straight–starting with an extremely fun evening session on Friday September 9th.

The Warm Season in Black & White

Sometimes, shooting film can feel like digging up a time capsule. Summer 2022 and the surrounding months provided subjects for three rolls of black and white 35mm film. The pics were snapped from the lens of a small “weather tuff” point and shoot called Le Clic and a Nikon SLR. More importantly, they provide a […]
