Shreddy Sunday

Here is a photo of me from Sunday afternoon. I surfed early in the morning for the first time on my five star, the waves were big and the board worked amazing. I then went to my soccer game, and headed back for this session. I used my five star again and was super stoked on how it was working. We surfed out at the point and it was pretty good, but hard to get a long ride. Carson and I came in and went to surf cable. The waves were a lot hollower and punchier than usual. Out there I was thinking it was like waist to occasional chest high (on me) but judging by this photo it was a bit bigger than that. Thanks for the shot Jose! -Lars

Wave Check- Rye on the Rocks

           Being one of the fastest waves in New England, Rye on the Rocks is one of my personal favorites.  At low tide there is a shallow, cobblestone bottom, and the takeoff is very steep and fast.  This wave has the potential for barrels, and monster punt sections.  On any big swell you can find a small crowd of surfers there from dawn to dusk, doing nothing but surfing till they puke.  The wave has both a left, and a right, although the left is more well known.  This spot can hold as big as New Hampshire gets.  This spot can be very localized, so use common sense.  But when it's on, you will be in for a real treat! -Carson

Lost... Event at Pioneers

I just got back from Pioneers where Matt Biolos, the shaper for lost... surfboards was showing off some boards. He had boards that Mick Fanning, Brett Simpson, and Kolohe Andino used at the U.S. Open. There was also the board the U.S. Open champion Julian Wilson road before the event. Tristan and I also scored some lost... posters and hats. Thanks to Mayhem and Pioneers for putting on a great event. -Lars

Welcome to Massachusetts

With a far more coastline than New Hampshire but a much smaller surf scene, there are still some gems to be found in Massachusetts. Check out these two pics Carson sent me of some amazing spots in the the bay state. -Lars

Sunday

Last Sunday continued the streak of weekend waves for NH.  It's amazing how many weekends you can get perfect, head high lines, AND have offshore winds.  These photos are just a few of the great waves caught Sunday.  There also was another standout session at about 1:00pm of cable crew members Crowley and Carson surfing the outer point at straws, with some great wedges to be had.  Unfortunately no photos were taken of this session, though there was one photographer at the point taking shots of some waves.  I wouldn't be surprised if you find them online somewhere...

5 Star

I just picked up my new 5 star surfboard from cinnamon rainbows. It is a 5'3 pintail for when the waves are decent. The full dims are 5,3-17.5-21 and 3/16s. I am super stoked on it and hopefully will be able to ride it this weekend. 5 star is a trusted local brand shaped right in Exeter by Sashi Lyford. Just recently Ryan and Rhett both got new 5 stars and they both love them. If you are interested in your own 5 star you can check out the website at www.5starsurfboards.com. Here are some pics. -Lars
