Alaska.

A couple weeks ago we made our second fly-out surfari for 2010 to a remote break we discovered last year. We didn’t expect to be surfing it much in the winter months, but the way El Nino has been messing with our more local breaks we are glad we have the option when the weather and swell allows. This spot, we call it Petrof Glacier, is 20 minutes away by bush plane. And getting there is often half the adventure since it requires flying over a rugged mountain range complete with ice fields and glaciers. This trip our main challenge was the fog that barely let us in, and much to our surprise actually let us come home that night. I thought it would burn off and then I’d do some shooting but it hung thick all day and so I just surfed. I snuck a photo in the selection from last year to show about what we were riding this trip, though there was no sunshine and mountains to be seen, just a nice head high swell rising up out of the glass gray.
