JohnRudy, I can see you are pining away for an authentic SoWal experience. You should definitely consider coming down for the Christmas & New Years holiday. You won't be disappointed!!

You won't be disappointed!!Well, I think about it all the time but it ends up being so complicated, with jobs, comitments, flying, renting a car, in-law family obligations during the holidays. It gets exhausting. I'm working on something for the week of June 9th, after school ends.

I will get some soon. One problem you get from surfers is none of them like to take photos because everyone wants to be surfing. I have some photos but can not get them to convert.....

This is in Destin! See the solo surfer to the left to give you an ideal of the size. It was incredible and Blue Mountain was better then this!!! BTW, I just figured out how to add a photo from an URL off Photo bucket :clap_1: I am so proud!!!

Here is another photo. Good friend and surfin buddy Nico Gullo gettin ready for some tube time. All photos taken on epic 1019/2006 by John Cross of MId Bay Media. All my "hooky" surfers form Blue Mountain do not want photos shown do to it being a school and work day. Thanks Sunshine

it was beautiful...i went out on wed and took a couple off the 2nd sand bar. I was alone and got completely rocked 
trying to get back out to where they were peaking. I looked up and there was this monster wave like a truck coming at me that i knew it was going to curl before i could get beyond it...when you say to yourself...."OH...S#*%!!" when you see it coming
........ i wasen't with anyone and got bodyslammed into the sand bar...my fins tore my bathing suit..i had to call it...before i killed myself...but yeah...other than near death..it was fun

You need to make reservations. Looking at beach photos and posting on a beach board only go so far: there's no substitute for the real thing.
P.S. It's lovely in SoWal at Christmas.

Plus I have Kurt's screen saver running all the time and an old sowal screensaver running on my computer at work. EVERYONE thinks I'm crazy to continue torturing myself every day. They complain that it tortures them to watch the photos loop everyday!
P.S. It's lovely in SoWal at Christmas.
I'm checking flights but they are very $$$$$$$$$$ then. (And no, Mr. johnrudy will not drive 10hrs./day - - 2 there and 2 back.)
