"The Boiler-Maker"

Just a huge crashing, exploding and confused blast of energy and excitement as these waves fight to grip the shore.These waves are definitely no where near Californian or Hawaiian waves but their force is still pretty furocious when ya hit the right, maybe wrong , way.

"The Stringer"

 This wave looked stringy to me but kind of a fluffy dump when it completed it's cycle. These beach waves for the most part can be kind of intimidating and a bit of a nuisance during a put-in or take-out. Hopefully all gear is secured less what is on deck goes out on the exit surge as they dump all around you. Timing is everything but even the best laid plans or least little hold up makes you vulnerable as floatsam and high braces become your weapon in the face of the onslaught and the inevitable succession. Wave four in the series.

"The Plough"

 Pushing forward with it's mighty strength this wave was not only going to plough into you but also dump all the hell over you! Wave three of my series.

"The Fizz-ler"

 Kind of dissipating this one and looked like it was exploding as it came ashore in Trepassey NL. Wave two of my series.

"The Wall"

 Seeing how I am not paddling just now I thought I'd do a series of posts showing some waves I've met over the times. This one well, felt just like that, a wall on the face. Wave one of my series.

"....and Early At Supper-Time..."

Camping near Trepassy at Chance Cove last year. When it comes time for food nothing better than eating in the out-of-doors. More this year for sure.

Being reclaimed!

"Land and Sea", Trepassey,NFLD

I sometimes believe that nature plays pretty powerful games with herself, like who will claim who. Although the land is very much alive and mobile nothing seems to be able to match the ferocity that an ocean, especially an ocean in NFLD, can rise to ...in sometimes minutes. As seen in the cliffs at Cape Spear, the land is not defenseless.
