for those that don't know the Ashridge is going off at the moment. i'm out of town.
have fun!

It looks like the wind has shifted to NW. How long will swell at the bridge last?

I was going to hit Abay early this morning but figured it would be pretty choppy. I waited for the wind to shift. I got there around noon. It was worth the wait. Five foot swell and glassy thanks to the offshore winds. It died suddently around 2:30. The water was pretty clean too.

It was bigger, cleaner and had more power today with slight offshore winds the entire time. Got there around 10am and it was starting to clean up nicely. Paddled straight out from the tip of the point and got way outside to taste some super glassy 8' set waves... did I say clean?? Had some rides from way outside to the beach. Incredible day and warm enough for just shorts with the sun out a good part of the day. I wish you could have seen those big pitching lefts. The Byrne was at her best. The word for the day... glassy.

My timing was totally out. I so wish I could have been there. I can just picture it.

GTA Section, page B5-Thursday September 1st.

"Jan Luedecke rides a wave on Lake Ontario yesterday as the remnants of Hurricane Katrina pass through Toronto."

Tried to find the picture online, but to no avail. Not a bad shot considering it's the press! Hope the GTA crew see it.

This is the inside section of the far east point at A Bay. Jan, who I just met that morning, his buddy and myself were the only guys out at the point.

It was easily double that size on the outside where we were starting our rides.

The pic isn't as bad as some pics that have been taken in the past by newspapers on the inside. We have seen the ripple shots in the past to our self horror.

The photograph shows that outside was much bigger.

High overhead to Toronto from Hamilton and the vibe is still flowing. Tomorrow we surf head high on Lake Erie.

Tomorrow sounds good to me! Bill, Vlad, Marston, Grant, you guys in?

Walk west on the beach to the pink cottage. That is Mrs. O"Here's. I have some more ESM's for the crew and some back Surfing Magazines.

The longboarding there is out of sight. You probably will be at Area 51. Take a break a head on down. The wife will be riding with me.

Rob, I'm still out at Niagara for the conference which ends Friday afternoon. Plus I have no board with me. So I guess Erie is out of the question for me.

Have Zita bring you to Erie. I'll bring my 7'10" for you to ride.
