Beach/Launch: 
Dog Beach, Nahant
Wind Speeds: 
Light <20

arrived at nahant early afternoon after seeing 5-10mph winds at chapin. winds were marginal at best right when we arrived, i was hoping to landboard, but then realized i left my harness down the cape at JDs cottage (fuck). so i dropped matt and jd off at dog beach and drove the truck back to park, and walked back to dog with my trainer and a backpack full of bud lights. winds turned out to be great, going back and forth between light and moderate all afternoon (JD put up his 12m and matt went with a 17m). they got in a great 2+ hour session, and probably would have gone for another 2 hours, but we hadnt eaten all day so went to Tides for some good beers and eats (i recommend the cherrystones and oysters, so good!) i sat on the beach drinkin beers, taking pics and vids, and put up the 3m for while. i had a good little wipeout myself on the beach with my 3m....knee still hurts a little....i guess i looped it down too slow into the powerzone and it yanked me about 20 feet i did a couple sommersaults and then landed back on my feet (the ppl on the beach walking their dogs thought it looked cool, i played it off like thats what i was trying to do, haha). good practice i guess? then john made me drive his truck home.

great pics

there's a couple of pics I'd like to tweak with Picasa. Can we post them somewhere I can copy them ? The slideshow won't let me copy them.
Did JD make you drive his truck AND he slept the whole way back, snoring ?

edit: nevermind , download original works good. duh
