Getting to the very beginning of a wave allows you to surf the wave to it’s maximum potential and furthest length. A duck dive is one of the most useful surfing tools you can learn, so that you can maximize a wave. The duck dive is used to Continue reading Duck Dive

Southy in West Florida
A small summer low crossed the state last week. You could almost call it a tropical system.
It never really reached tropical wave strength, but did send small ground swell to West Central Florida once it reached the balmy gulf waters.
East Coast – Hurricane Cristobal
Pumping surfed graced the shores of East Florida all last week. The quality of waves produced by this storm exceeded the quality of the waves by the previous two category 1 storms of this hurricane season. Why were the waves from Cristobal so fun? To assess this question we are going to look at the pressure of the air in the center of Hurricane Cristobal, then compare the air pressure in the center of Hurricane Arthur and Hurricane Bertha. While many additional variables are important to determining the quality of waves produced by hurricanes, looking at the pressure of these storms will provide us with information about these storms strength and it will help us determine how accurate we can be Continue reading East Coast – Hurricane Cristobal
