DR JOHN PHOTO GALLERY

Really nice waves today,  I had the next best thing to surfing them…taking photos.  My back wasn’t working, oh well 🙂

Anyhow,  our Surf Report yesterday said we had a stomach to shoulder high depending on the spot,  and I would say we had waist to chest high at the Cape today, with some shoulder high drops.  Probably a foot or two bigger down south, but anyone will tell you,  these waves were really nice.

There were quite a few people out, though a lot of faces I didn’t recognize, except Dr. John.   I took shots at 10 AM and then came back after church at 12 PM, and man, the size kicked up 1 to 2 feet on the face size,  the shoulders were holding up a little better, but both sessions were really nice for a glassy wave, beautiful sunny, cool day at the Cape on Johnson Ave.

Anyhow, enjoy the pics of John, and in the next few days, I’ll be posting some more pictures of some unknown faces, including the Gator Girl (who wore orange and blue, and she looked athletic, she got some really killer rides).

Beautiful waves, and a lot of closeouts.  Image 3 of 3 shot sequence. Dr. John enjoyed the sweet spot of this wave before taking his exit.
