Fall Surf Season Heats Up

Storm #6 brought big surf and a lot of weather. Sunrise action proved to be the best Paddle Boarding action. This storm brought rough weather to North America and 3 days of over head high surf to the North Coast of the DR. John Holzhall got out early and often to claim this storm and edge closer to leader Gordon Gannon. Gordon now leads the Fall Paddle Boarding Season 3 storms to 2 with perhaps the largest swell of the season heading this way by weeks end.

Fall Paddle Board Season ends December 31st...this means just about two weeks left.

"...no lead is safe..." says Gannon "...nature decides the contest dates and you have to be there and get your waves...it's a very natural competition..."

"...i love this type big wave competition..." says Holzhall "you have to be prepared to get the waves when they come..."

Major Storm

Hawaii got huge surf, North America got hammered, now the 1st big winter storm is in the Atlantic. The DR has had good swell for the past few days and more is on the way. "...we are getting a good "pre-storm" swell. Storms that big push a lot of water, they also suck water...right now water is being sucked from the East and bringing us solid surf in the process..." says John Holzhall.
The storm is impressive and has turned South East...this should make for a weeks worth of quality surf.

Fall Paddle Boarding Title

With only three weeks left in the Fall Surf Season, Gordon Gannon holds a an impressive 3-1 lead. The first major winter storm just hit the US, so the DR should be in for some wild action...

Fall Surf Action

This fall surf season has been incredible, "...I guess that you can attribute it to El Nino" says John Holzhall. "We had a great Hurricane Season which rolled right into the Fall Surf Season...it's been non-stop action" says Holzhall who is the Current 2009 Hurricane Season Champion.
Gordon Gannon of Ocean Point Condos said "...this season may come down to just how many storms you can catch...no one with a job can surf all those waves..."
Congratulations to John Holzhall for winning the last storm (Storm #5). This puts him on the leader board, tied with Glen Goodwin and two storms behind leader Gordon Gannon.

November = Big Surf

The first two weeks of November we memorable..."probably the best surf we have had in a long time" said Gordon Gannon. Storms are racing across North America eventually sending us swell. Also, many of North's residents flee the cold for the warm water, sun and cranking surf.
Congratulations Glen Goodwind, he just signed up for the competition and almost instantly won a storm (Storm #4). "...I guess it helps having a condo on the break (Glenn's Point)" said Goodwin.

Master's gets big Surf

The first annual Masters Surf Contest at Encuentro Beach had nothing but big surf. Gordon Gannon put on a clinic, mostly how to break out. Marcus Brohn, owner operator of 1-2-3 take off surf school, came in second while Gordon Gannon took home first place. That first place finish separated Gordon from the pack, giving him 3 wins early in the Fall Surf Season.

Oh ya

Nothing but big Surf...it's looking like an all time Fall Wave Season
