The Wizards

SURFING WITH STRANGERS from TDZ on Vimeo.

I have been kitesurfing strapless for most of the season, and tonight was another amazing session in the waves. After work I headed down to the Grand Haven pier to find some decent waves rolling in with very little wind. I paddled out and caught a few nice ones before the wind started pick up again. I met up with Bucky on the beach and we contemplated the situation. With the wind picking up I sprinted to my Jeep and grabbed my kite. Ten minutes later I was charging out through the shore break. What followed was an amazing kitesurfing session with the waves all by myself. As I got closer to the pier the swell was building and dropping down the face of a few of those sets will be in my mind for a long time to come. I titled this post "The Wizards" because these guys are inspiration and motivation for me to pump and head out no matter the conditions. They are my virtual mentors!
