What kind of shape do you have to be in to not be smashed, crushed and torn to shreds after riding these waves?

Thanksgiving morning I took an early morning walk to relax before all the craziness started. It reminded me to be extra thankful for the wonderful place I live.
The light we have on Cape Ann is amazing and everyday it’s a little bit different. It was nice to have the Thanksgiving break, where I had time to enjoy the mornings a little more, rather than my usual rush to work and sitting in 128 traffic.

John Writes-
Warm enough to ditch the boots & gloves, allowing for the 1st water shots of the season. Nothing epic, but 80 degrees and little waves.

Much more hospitable day on Monday and one of those surfers showed up off Andrews Point again:
He is the tiny dot about to porpoise under the oncoming wave as he makes his way out of the cove to go for another run. I’m off island the next couple days so I do not know if he is out there today. Isle of Shoals says the wind is over 50 mph from the WNW so he would really be nutty in my book. The water temp has dipped to a nice nippy 46 F. I had a windsurfer once with wooden booms and did stuff that what today I would call nutty. Then I had kids and self preservation became more important.

Hye Tyde is the blog from John Hintlian which mostly chronicles his surfing journal but if you look below the surface of all the surfing pictures and surf pictures, his photography is spectacular and he bring a fresh new perspective to your standard photo/journal blog.
John is very creative with his photography and I enjoy perusing his flickr album as much if not more than Hye Tyde. Check out his flickr album and see for yourself.

For the love of surfing.
My lobstermen tell me the water temp is 43 degrees. There must be a serious rush that gets these guys out there in 43 degree water.

Yesterday afternoon these crazy bastards were surfing the Back Shore. Sure seemed dangerous to me, but they must know what they are doing. They caught some decent waves.
