Daily Pixels: Double Sessions

Hurricanes can be quite destructive.  We witnessed some of this wrath a couple weeks ago with Hurricane Earl.

On the flip side, hurricanes and create some of the sweetest gifts Mother Nature has to offer, awesome waves.

Hurricane Igor is moving through the Atlantic, and he’s falling on the side of sweet gift giver.  Swell from Igor arrived today and offered the Dude the rare opportunity for a double session.  A dawn surf session before work and a post work surf session.

Watching the sun pop over the horizon while floating on a surfboard is a pretty great start to the day.

Thanks Igor.

This is not the Dude pictured here…just a stunt double.
