Oct 18: Have you driven to the East end of Pensacola Beach lately? They have built some artificial dunes on the Gulf side. Looks pretty bad right now, but eventually, mother nature will sculpt them to look more natural. You can no longer see the surf from the road. I bet the next step in the process will be the 'NO PARKING' signs.

Oct 17: Did you catch some of the sneaker swell that came through this afternoon? Word is that a short-lived swell arrived in the afternoon with some sets up to chest high.

Oct 8: Here's a picture I took on our first day in Nicaragua. This is our guide named Dennis. He's a local young Nicaraguan who really rips.

This spot is a river mouth we found that broke just like Trestles. There were no roads to this spot so you could only get to it by boat. We surfed it day after day with no one out. One day another boat showed up with four other surfers so, with the four in our crew, we had a massive crowd of eight that day for the morning session. That afternoon we were back by ourselves suffering from loneliness. I was there for 11 days and only saw 2 other boats. I never saw another car with a surfboard on the roof.

Oct 6: The Hurricane Ike video is finally on line.

Oct 3: if you're going to the beach on Saturday Oct 4 don't forget the Santa Rosa Triathlon will be running in the morning and there will be some temporary traffic blocks.

Sept 29: The Surf Smooth cameras visited and filmed a new surfing destination in Nicaragua. The only problem in the line up was loneliness due to the lack of any other surfers in the line up.

Sept 11: Hurricane Ike produced some of the biggest, rideable surf the Gulf Coast has ever seen.

JUST A THOUGHT :

Is it just my imagination, or have the beach roads to Navarre and Ft. Pickens been going to be 'completed soon' for quite some time now?

Maybe we should start charging a toll for any hurricane that wants to enter the Gulf.

New 11th Commandment for THE CROSS :
'Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wave.'

If our tax dollars are paying for those military helicopters that fly up and down the beach shouldn't we have the cell phone number of the pilot so you can ask where the best breaks are?

'The older i get, the better I used to surf.'

WARNING: They have been writing tickets for parking too close to the fire hydrant at The Cross. Just ask Joey Dillard.
