Today's Bahamian Session 4/17. (Pics)

[Islandboy]

Was pretty choppy, but I got my brother to come out with his gf's D-70 and he took some decent shots. I might have a video clip or 2 as well, but haven't checked the tape yet. Anyways, its supposed to get better by Saturday so I might have some much better pics to post then. Till then enjoy these. See I actually got to do some backside turns today:

[zeus]

the last n the first post i am guessing

Yea, it was really troughy at times, and some really lazy waves as well. It also sucked in that it was high tide, and I think our beach is best at low tide most of the time. Tommorow we still wont be able to catch the low tide, but maybe on saturday.

Thanks man, I'm still getting left behind every now and then, and sometimes can't make it down the peak without falling, but we're getting there. My brother (with the black hair) is better at frontside, but today he hardly even bothered with the nasty conditions we were working with.

Hey ERICK was the skim any good or was it just surf

[cruskim]

i think that place gets alot of swell blockage cuz it was an easy head high today in cocoa beach florida

thats cause its a refraction swell coming from the northeast not swell coming across the atlantic

[Islandboy]

If you mean the last pic of the first post, then yea thanks, I actually didn't notice that at the time.

But... prior ZBR experience leads me to believe that was a smart ass comment on the very last pic posted with me underwater. If it is then lol to you sir. If its not, then thanks.

[Islandboy]

Btw the Jupiter cam looks like shit today. We should be heading back out today around 4 I guess, looks like the wind died a bit, but I have no clue what the waves look like.

[amosb72]

yeah the last one is most def the best
cool shot

[Islandboy]

Hahaha, it can't be good when the best shot out of a set of skimming pics is one where nobody is actually skimming.

I agree though, its pretty cool, my brother took that right after I got eaten by the trough and the next pic is of me breaking through the surface.

P.s. It sucked again today, the waves are just too weak, and there's too much shit going on, on the sand. Waves are going every which way, sucking in in some spots, pushing out in others, just made for a big ball of shit. Will be checking it tommorow at dead low tide though to see if it gets better.

[skimmerbahamas]

Sunday, was pretty good, some waves would break!
These pics are of 2 of the bahamian skimmers

the bahamas get preety good. ive been there about 6 times and ive never seen any thing but flatness. even on east end. why??

[WhoWantsSomeChanMan?]

cool shots man. keep it up

[Islandboy]

I guess it depends on what Island you visit. We skim in Nassau, on the North facing beaches. But its almost like FL I guess, there's usually more skim from hurricane season until April. Then it starts to get flat for summer.

Not sure what you mean by "east end" either. Again, it depends on the island.

[Islandboy]

P.s. Chris those pics are tiny, you need to save them to the computer, then put them on photobucket or imageshack. Then post them here.

[benmasters]

i think the bahamas might be one of the nicest places to skim. the water color is amazing and the clarity is ridiculous. its so nice

[Scrub]

i love watching you progress islandboy. I remember when you could barely drop. Fun shit, keep progressing.
