That's the beach where I surf in Rye NH, looking out at the Isles of shoals.

I can't see the sport ever taking off. It doesn't show what happens when he falls. Besides that, it's just stupid.   :P

The wake skiing at the end to me looks like more fun than wake surfing. Weird but somehow as a former water skier looks like it belongs. The wake surfing always looked a bit boring.

Skiing rules!!
I was surfing yesterday talking to a guy in the lineup about skiing. They already got snow at Mammoth Mtn. More on the way this weekend. It seems weird to be thinking about skiing while floating in 73 deg water. I am buying new skis this season.

I watched Chuck doing this from the bluff. He ate it more than a few times. I figured he could no longer reproduce after that, but he did remarkably well, considering. If I tried something like that I'd probably be buried as Bill1 and Bill2. Make a wish...

It rare that I see an activity where the person doing it would actually look cooler if they put their underpants on their head.
