The 16th Annual Nun's Beach Surf Invitational

The 16th Annual Nun's Beach Surf Invitational is tomorrow, September 17th at 111th Street in Stone Harbor, NJ. It's a great time. We'll be filming for Jersey Bros, the documentary I'm doing on the South Jersey surf scene. Look for our tent.

Bikers In Wildwood, NJ

Spent the morning working, then met up a friend, Kurt Kelly, and we headed over to Wildwood, NJ to experience the Roar To The Shore, a big biker weekend. It was a scene for sure. Apparently not nearly as big as it used to be, but still a whole lot of bikers in one place. Kurt and I walked around all afternoon and into the night, talking to people and taking their pictures. In this environment, you ask before you take a picture, and guys wearing colors, you don't even ask. Most said yes and were happy to do it.

Hurricane Irene

The Friday before Hurricane Irene was set to hit Cape May County, we'd been given a mandatory evacuation order for 8am, so of course we got in the car, with surfboards and cameras in tow, and headed over to the islands to make sure we could get on in case they closed the bridges at 8am. In the end, they didn't close the island to incoming traffic until 5pm. We spent the morning, and a beautiful morning it was too (blue sky, soft breeze), boarding up some homes of friends and clients. Then the boys got in the water. Ironically, there was almost no swell as the storm was still much too far south at this point.
