What can I say, last week was one of the best weeks I can remember in my time here at Glass Beach. Fully powered on my 5m North Hero with logo-high waves every day and, quite unusually, blowing from first thing in the morning! Anyone who has been here and sailed at Glass will know that it gets pretty crowded when it´s good, but everyone seems to arrive at about 3 or 4 in the afternoon so, with this in mind and also the fact that I start work at 4 through the week, I got myself down to the beach at 11am every day and scored epic Glass with no crowds. Awesome. Just me and two or three other guys out with constant waves and wind, taking any wave you wanted for two and a half hours at a time. By all accounts the afternoons were extremely crowded with all the usual aggro and bad attitude which make me not the greatest fan of Glass Beach. The downside, however, was that the photographer posse tends to turn up in the afternoon aswell so I missed them and got zero pics to post up. Never mind, next week looks even better with bigger swell and even more wind (looks like 4.5m weather coming our way!) so maybe I´ll get lucky and have some photos to show you.
On another note, it looks like I will be collaborating with someone this winter to provide week-long SUP camps, including accomodation, equipment, transport, and evening meals and BBQ, similar to my windsurf clinics. Watch this space for more info, we should be starting in September when the wind drops and the first decent swells arrive...
