Ocean Body Slams Into Sand....




Empty Barrels On a Lonely Beach. Heaven.


It's been a while. Been hooked on point breaks recently but Cape Cod, as always, showed how much power it can house up. Shacks the size of hatch back cars and small trucks; shattered shell and mid sized pebble encrusted bottom ass kickings by one of the farthest reaches East in southern New England. This picture is not enough to describe the flawless perfection we witnessed. 5-6 second screamer cover ups. The bottom was not soft....and my shoulder blade is bruised.....

Yes, There ARE Sharks In The Ocean.

   





 As many of you know there has been a lot of bustle regarding our fierce friend  Mr. Great White. They've been here for who knows how long. Ten years ago if you mentioned anything about a Great White Shark in New England people would look at you like you were crazy. Guess what? It's true!!! Going to visit the head of our lovely Ocean friend scientists left behind washed ashore in Westport, MA after performing a necropsy. The fish was healthy at the time of death. If that wasn't enough of a wake-up call there have now been numerous sightings in the waters off of Fairhaven, MA.

Marine Biologists, hop on in!
 
      Now let's talk about Cape Cod, the food source for our revered predator is plentiful off Monomoy Island, yet, there was an attack up in the Truro area.....So with some rough triangulation calc's THE GREAT WHITE POPULATION HAS BOOMED. They are everywhere. Time to step out of reality and into the movie Jaws. The cage goes in today, the news crews are swarming and I'm at home waiting for first hand pictures and/ or video. Time to go visit our beheaded Mr. White in hopes that there may be a few teeth left to salvage as a token of respect. Nice week of swell coming up :D nice to know we'll be sharing the same venue with such an amainzg creature.
