Winter Storm Season Is Starting

Winter Waves are heading this way...sigh up now for the Dominican National Paddle Board Championships (Winter 2009-10).

Adios Erika

Sign up for the 2010 Winter Wave Season Now!

Erika came and went, giving us two days of solid surf. We had high hopes because she was slow moving and had good exposure to the DR. In the end, Erika faded a bit but was a nice storm that threw 2 memorable days of surf. John Holzhall ended up taking the Golden Cocos for both days.

Erika throws huge surf

Swell has hit...Gordon Gannon and John Holzhall went head to head in near perfect surf this morning. Way over head high surf and slight off shore winds made for epic action. John went West, the long way out the channel and Gordon gambled and went straight out to Ocean Point 1. Gordon made it through the break quickly but paid the price as he took a wave inside...John paddled out dry and quicky caught a few "rights" at Ocean point 2. The channel was working perfectly and john quickly got to 10 waves first. Golden Coco goes to John Holzhall today.
