Short attention spans and claw-fingers: no, not the description of a surfer in the arctic, but rather the symptoms of the internet-addicted generation of the new millennium. Today’s surfers-of-the-web spend more and more time searching the Google than shredding the gnar. While you think about that, think about this. Right now there is the possibility that a team of Moscovian explorers on the trans-siberian railroad are headed to the russian coastline to document polar russian waves, camera in hand, and guitar tuned to the tune “Something Something Khrushchev”.

In arctic Europe there are cliffs that go right into the ocean. When winter comes, the snows and gales start up and the beaches welcome waves from all around.

Looks like it is a gorgeous day out there, folks. The sun is out, the wind is down, and there are some shoulder high+ waves on the point. A few sets are wrapping around the corner and setting up for some nice 23-31 second rides. Could use some more tide to fill in the rocks.
