Towsurfer.com News: Big-Wave Addicts episode 2

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 28 October, 2011 : - - Now appearing on youtube's TowsurferNetwork channel is, 'Big-Wave Addicts' episode no. 2, featuring east coast big-wave junkies, Will Skudin and his brother Cliff from NY Sea. After a week of monitoring a potential swell and going back and forth with the locals, everyone decided it was going to be questionable w/ weather issues. At the last minute, they pulled the trigger and made the decision to take a red-eye to the West Coast for two days of potentially big surf.

Following a red-eye flight and running on three hours sleep, the Skudin brothers, met up with the local crew (Keith Galbraith, George DeSoto, Geth Noble, Eric Akiskalian and Shawn Thordarson) for a dawn patrol look at the surf and quickly decided to make the best of what they had. It was a solid 12'-15' swell with some left over bump and very unorganized conditions from the wind the day before. Everyone was just stoked to get in the water for two days, share some fun waves and witness what mother nature had to offer up.

As usual and reported by the crew there was plenty of sea life encounters to say the least which included whales, dolphins, big fish, sea lions and a good size shark. Needless to say, there were some creepy moments throughout the day and also some fun drops with some shifty clean up sets that kept everyone on their guard. By the end of the first day and thru the evening, the swell began to fade.

The following day the crew shot up the coast, met up with Tony Perez and Jeremy Rasmussen and got a couple of fun waves at one of their more favorite locations. “Overall it was a great trip with nothing but good vibes, I mean, it doesn’t matter where you are in the world, when your getting fun waves with friends and family, you just can’t help but to be stoked and grateful.” - Will Skudin
