When you think about surfers and great locations  to surf,  Cape Cod probably doesn’t come to mind. In fact New England doesn’t even make the top 10  surf locations in the US.  Yet, every year I trek down to Wellfleet on the tip of Cape Cod to hang with some friends, drink, surf, have some cocktails, 4 wheel, eat, surf some more, smoke stogies and have a few more adult beverages.

This year with hurricane Bill off the coast there were high hopes for good surf.  My plan was to shoot some surfing action shots.  Unfortunately when we got to the beach the waves were less than impressive chop and the water was angry.  After a few failed attempts Mother Nature decided to rain on our parade (much like she did for my 4 hour motorcycle ride down to the outer cape).

Bummed out over the circumstances I reluctantly snapped a few shots (maybe 10 total) before riding back to the house, pouring a dark & stormy and sitting by the fire.
