Tuesday, June 30, 2015. The Beauty Of It All - Linville Gorge. Our family recently hiked part of the east rim of Linville Gorge in NC. We made our way up to the top of Table Rock and found these incredible views of the Gorge - "The Grand Canyon Of The East". Some steep hiking up and down - my hip joints and knees were feeling it the next day. Panoramic of Linville Gorge taken from the east rim / Table Rock. That is Grandfather Mountain on the right.

Thursday, November 27, 2014. TOW - Time On The Water. This is a film about spending time on the water with family and friends. This is not a surfing or wave riding film. There really isn't a category for this. Don't get me wrong, I love waves and watching surf videos, but I wanted to make a film that showed flat water fun - with both fast paced action and laid back appeal.

Tales of Windsurfing on a Lake in the Southeast U.S. Sunday, December 17, 2006. Shadow finds a friend. Shadow always likes other animals, but she really hit it off with this Chocolate Lab in the park. Links to this post. Not much wind, but a what gorgeous day! This was shot from the marina parking lot and the boat was leaving the cove and entering the main part of the lake, which is at least 1/4 mile away from where I was standing, so I am quite pleased with the quality of my Fuji 5100S. Many action and ...

WaterTurtle: Marathon SUP
http://thewaterturtle.blogspot.com/2012/03/marathon-sup.html
Sunday, March 18, 2012. St Patricks Day seemed fitting for a marathon paddle. Matt Cesmat, Rob Cornwell. And I launched at the northern end of Lake Norman at 7am and paddled 27.2 miles south to the other end. The day after was another beautiful day with no rest. Spent the afternoon with the family on bikes and SUP boards. We went out to dinner on the water by boat. My beautiful bride drove the boat while I SUP surfed its wake 2.5 miles all the way to the restaurant nonstop! March 19, 2012 at 7:50 AM.
