Kiting under the full moon at PBay until 9:30PM a couple of summers ago ...
Wave riding off of Jupiter, Florida.
Secret spots, Jupiter, FL, PBay
2004 Lessons in various places: Jupiter, Newport, Aruba, Cape Cod, OBX, lots of time on the water and some in the snow, too! Breakthrough moment was in Jupiter: 10 foot waves with some nice swell (yeah, yikes!) and I was having trouble getting over the monstrous shore-break. The guys on shore who'd been watching me progress told me that "I had the skills to get out there" and I actually believed them. I threw down my 12m, got over the nasty shore-break and found myself riding the trough from lip to lip ... heaven!
