Longboarding the Key on April 24th

Longboarding Sand Key
We really caught it good last week. On the sets the surf was pumping. The surf just got better and better as the afternoon progressed.  The conditions were epic.  Warm water makes for some of the most enjoyable days of surfing.  I can’t leave out the fact that the crowd was non-existent. Despite having surfed with this guy for years at the key, for the life of me, I can’t think of his name.  We were catching some epic warm water surf. It was another fun day of surfing on the gulf coast.

Hollow Sand Key Park in the Winter

Sand Key Park in West Florida gets really fun in the winter-time, and early mornings can be a blast after a big windy cold front.  Often, after the winds blow from the northwest for a while, it changes direction, and begins to blow from the northeast.  When it blows from the northeast the wind blows right into the curl of the waves.  The northeast wind helps the curl maintain its shape while it breaks, it helps it stay hollow.  These are the days at Sand Key when your most likely to find a make-able barrel, it’s a good time to get tubed.
