Cabin fever setting in... winter storm "Juno" has been shaking my house for 24 hours... 18 more to go.
Gusts every hour past 65 mph
Snowing the whole time.... no one is moving. Power and food and internet making it easy.

So... we have had a lot of great waves this past week... so I thought I'd share the stoke.
a lot of wind... some sessions up to 35 mph
a lot of cold... -8 c to 2 c
My buddy Eddie braved the cold to shoot many sessions since last Monday.

Good winter stuff on Cape Cod, so I figured it might bring some summertime cheer to my friends in Oz.

that is commitment! brrrrrrrrrrrr!

Hi Kuz....Winter surfing is a gift... there is no feeling that replaces the satisfaction after a good cold weather session... you would love it.

Helmy... I took out my "girly" board because it was only shoulder high at the start and I had been feeling wobbly on my smaller boards in all the wind.
The Alana was so much fun when it got bigger, I didn't swap out.

Really dig pic 2,committed and driving,ho ha!!

Impressive! Seriously impressive! They are nice looking waves though!

Love the pics. I'm bookmarking this topic so that come winter I can remind myself that I have no excuses.

Great pics, Mr Creek.
Gotta love cold surfs, thanks for sharing.
Not for me, too much of a softy!!
I better put on some more block out, don't want to get sunburn!

So use the board to get up to speed and then dive off(maintaining speed) and use the paddle o plane .Fantastic idea Seriously ,Southern ocean winter can be full on ,but I take my hat ( or should that be hood ) off to you.Nice work and true commitment.

That's hardcore , Great shots !

Nice! Keep up the good work!
Keep the photos coming.

Bloody hell Creekman, you dudes must be made of stronger stuff than us Queenslanders.

I reckon it's cold when I have to but a long sleeve shirt on.

You deserve a medal for even thinking about paddling out in those temperatures.

Nice pics by the way.

ET.

As always excellent and inspirational!

Everyone in New England surfs in these conditions... it's wave season and wetsuits work

Meanwhile... storm "Juno" lived up to the hype and for 2 days no one moved.



Day 3, I could not get to a beach to even see the erosion and reshaped beaches, but I did find a clear parking lot at a flat-water launch.

Here are some pics... vid coming soon, that includes footage of a bird flying by me underwater... actually flapping his wings... cool as @*!^... and I had the GoPro on him











Ahhhh open water... and pure glass. Winter can be soooo peaceful

Superb stuff creek! You and your mates are an inspiration to many. Winter paddling looks surreal in the ice n snow. And your surf shots tell us you gotta love surfing to get out in those conditions. Thanks for showing your world.

Oh Oh!
I hear the hint of a bootie debate coming up next!
Do us all a favour - look up last year's debate!
