Stories from the Beach

I made this blog for the purpose of surfers who might want to find their photo.
You don't always get to see what you look like from shore.
I've dated all the posts, and hopefully you can recognize yourself - by board or suit or stance, or whatever.

I've definitely been out shooting since my last post in January... not sure why I've been slacking on the posting, likely my passion has been clouded by the hardcore online schooling that consumed me 7 days a week.

Coming here on a weekend was bonkers. Forgive the rant, but I truly believe covid has ruined this beach forever. It pretty much looks like Pandora at the height of the pandemic. Have you seen it on weekends lately? Expect the parking lot to be overflowing up the road and your tent may be 2 inches from your neighbour. People are camping out up by the outhouses because the beach is full. I remember summer weekends (just last year, for example) we would show up to an abundance of tent plots, you'd still have your own space, and the atmosphere was peaceful and quiet. 
I feel bad for anyone hiking on the JDF showing up to that mess and hoping to camp there at all.
(I guess there is a silver lining though, these people aren't surfers so the water isn't all that crowded.)

In the end, really, it's just a bunch of kids having fun - and if I were one of those 20 yr olds,
I'd be having the time of my life too, zero complaints.
Maybe I'm just getting old. Crowds annoy me. Here's hoping the fall and winter will be better.
