"Put the elevator music on, pull me back to where I belong." - Beckola




Mr. Willis, along with his longtime long ago (well, not that 2002 roomed and graduated together longtime really long ago) college/surfing bro' Roger-Dodger, and myself, traveled today to another island inn the Nawthe Keroliner sun (and offshore-NW wind) called "Picnic Table Island." Not to be confused with a Space Coast kind with the "s" at the table-end...but this loner one down the sandy packed track ocean front road.






Wave heights inn feet (well, one foot each increments any inn the sandy packed track ocean front road way) were...






Day's on (yesterday's specifically) north atlantic backswell low pressure long period wave energy end finally reached the coast yesterday morning. That, along with a brisk southerly wave and wind energy flow from an oncoming freight train cold frontal system, enabled all things to come together for the good boat ride over. So here we begin. "Stormy"...the boat drivers Chesapeake Bay Retriever, keeps an eye not only on the passengers, but dolphins swimming up and down inn pairs things as well.






And Roo...this Stormy "I-am-inn-control-here" move to the front is for you.






Roger-Dodger (L, with 1st time ever-over stoke anticipation smile) and Mr. Willis (R, with the water washing down the surf power crunch bar). When Mr. Willis was finishing up his Meteorology Microbaroms Masters degree education on the North Shore, Roger-Dodger was also there putting his Florida State Seminole wow-how finance and management chest-high year degree ("4"...watt do you think I meant?) knowledge to good North Shore use by tending bar at the local Red Lobster restuarant. He and Mr. Willis caught many a good Pipe and etc.-etc.-etc. breaks days for 2 years before heading back state inn the pain side. Roger-Dodger currently is happily one year married and living/working inn Raleigh Bay (well, without the Bay part inn Raleigh any inn the way) as a pharmaceutical medical sales rep.






A guy on the boat who was headed over to take some Island pics (we tried bribing him to take some surfing pics of us, but he had other birds and plants and sand inn the dune things to take visually care of). And G...this little camera case with all the zoom niceties (including one I-pod) is for you.






Pretty tubular site arrival we'd all say.







Combo ENE 5'/12s buoy 41025 swell + Departing S'thly wind wave + Straight 10-15 kt offshore NW wind = Waist to head high Alpha-Frames.







Ex-pat Pipe North Shore boys paddling now EC out.






A Roger-Dodger right.






Nobody on the beach (well, expect a set of fresh ATV Park Ranger check tracks inside another truck nowhere to be fishing around found).






Nobody inn the surf (well, expect us three and the Alpha-Frames as far as the eye could see).

Mr. Willis front and side left (tube center too) on a screamer left beamer.






With morning low tide 1st session over, time to charge up with food, drink, and kodacrome batteries (well watt do you no?...the date is correct).






Afternoon session gave way to pushing-inn-with-power-drink purpose (not to mention amp) at Picnic Table Island. Hiss with boom lowering soon.






2nd session afternoon heat begins. This ought to be a good one folks.








"We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top, the smoke stacked clouds with glory attached." - Olabeck









Mr. Willis left.







Roger-Dodger right (and no bird, the heineken lite inn my other kodacrome hand is mine).






Encounters of a Roger-Dodger board comeback and gash time. Suck it up and surf hardcore afterward with no trail of blood ("smell" I guess is another fish thing) he did.






Good wait-for-a-tube timing with the kodashuttercrome Mr. Willis. Here's cheers to the next Island drink time then.
