In The Atlantic


It's a beautiful 17 degree (C) day with sunshine, strong winds & water temperature hovering between 15 & 17 degrees.

We arrived at Martinique Beach as the sun rose for a first attempt at the surprisingly warm Atlantic Ocean. We then went off to Lawrencetown Beach where the waves at frist glance were small, but proved ominous as I tried to paddle into the surf. I caught one wave for a short ride, but on my second attempt, I noticed how close I was getting to the rocky shore line. I bailed and my fins made me pay the price. Pictured is the aftermath.


Discouraged and in a bit of pain, we made our way to Happy Dudes surf shop and interviewed Keith, the owner and operator. We took some footage of Lawrencetown location and chatted about the scene in Nova Scotia, and the country. I'm looking forward to seeing him perform in the water tomorrow for the Surf School.

80km/hour winds have been expected tonight, so we'll be locked up in our mobile surf film production studio watching movies.


More to come soon!

Paul Boyd, Kathryn Ber & Junior!

What's up Paul,

This is Phil, we met on oct 4th in Nova Scotia. I took my first surf lesson there with your girl friend and your smelly dog lol.

I just wanted to wish you luck for the rest of your trip across canada and I can't wait to see your movie. It was nice to meet you.

Peace

Phil
