2014 Northeast Regional Surfing Championship

On the weekend of May 10 we headed down to long beach island, New Jersey  for four days of surf and good times. The waves were really fun through out the weekend and the comp ran perfectly. Lars shot through the quarter finals and semi finals with back to back heat wins on Saturday. He also advanced through his longboard qualifying heat. On top of that New Hampshire and the rest of the NNE Squad took home a second place in the all start tag team event thanks to a great performance by Quinn Batagliese , Robbie Goddwinn, Lars Hamilton, and Kai Nichols. On Sunday the swell had faded a little for the finals but there was still some fun waves coming through. Lars struggled through his Boys Shortboard final and just couldn't get on the right waves, resulting in 5th place finish. But his luck turned in the menehune longboard final were he cross stepped his way to a 1st place finish, and his first Northest Regional Title. The contest was amazing and everyone had a blast. There's a few stills attached below but Carson has some awesome gopro watershots in editing that you should be able to see very soon. 

Brayden shot through the quarter finals of menehune Shortboard but he went down in the semis. Not to worry though as he has about 6 more years competing in menehune.

Easter Surf

We had a fun little swell on Easter that no one expected. The waves were not great but it certainly wasn't flat. It was also Carson's fist team filming real surfers with a real camera. He came up with this little edit which was not bad at all considering it was his first real edit, with real surfers. Stay tuned for more. -Lars

Easter Sunday Funday

I don't know if New England has some sort of condition where there is waves every holiday but whatever it is it seems to be working out. Here are a few pictures from a day full of surf on Easter. These are just some stills and screenshots from a long day of surprisingly fun surf. Carson filmed all day and there is an edit in the works. -Lars

Boston

Here is a SUPER long wave found near Boston... Not as big as the first time we saw it but still really fun longboarding. This is the first of many more photos to come

The photo was taken courtesy of our friend Ryan Prentiss with no filter added.

Late Winter Edit

A late winter edit from what I could conjure up on my computer...
Hopefully spring is right around the corner.

Snowww

Nothing better than a cable session in January with sick waves and snow on the ground!

New Sled

I just picked up my brand new Byrne surfboard yesterday. Haven't surfed it yet but I have a feeling it is going to be magic! 5'2 by 18 by 2 with 5 fin boxes, its going to fly in all conditions. Its based off the new Byrne design called the little d, designed to be a high performance every day board. If you are in the hunt for a new sled definitely check out the Byrne website. And of course a big thanks to Max and Michael at Byrne for shaping it for me. Hopefully I can get in the water soon and get some good sessions and photos.
