This Website is iPhone Enabled!

I finally figured out how to make the WordPress iPhone App work with this site. Something to do with PHP5. Long story. The upside is Mike and I can now post on the go. The downside is the iPhone camera is weak.

Speaking of website development and surfing, check out this surfing video from my state of Georgia.

Mexico Beach Trip Day 1

Davis and I headed down from Atlanta to Mexico Beach for some fishing, kayaking, and surfing. The anti-theft “feature” on my Pathfinder had issues and diabled the starter. It’s not an adventure trip until someone calls a tow truck.

Just spoke with my buddy John Miller. A former Navarre pier regular, he’s been living in Michigan for a few years now. He just got out of the water after a session on the Lake. 30 degrees in and out of the water with snow flurries! He surfed for three hours. When it’s good, all you feel is the smile on your face!

Blue Mountain Surf has just partnered with a property in Rodanthe, Outer Banks, North Carolina. If you need a place to stay in OBX, please visit the Hit The Beach website for more info. There is a quality surf break across the street and Pamlico Sound is in your backyard. The REAL Kiteboarding facility is right down the street. This place is perfect for surfing, stand up paddle or kite boarding, fishing or just relaxing.

Steve stayed here for a week in October and had waves every day. It was nice to finish off every surf session in the hot tub.

Surf Spooktacular Stand Up Paddle Parade!

mike — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 05:04:20 +0000

…Just back from another amazing day on the water! We had perfect weather for our Paddleboard costume parade around Destin Harbor. We visited the Destin Fishing Rodeo crowd watching the weigh ins and then took a trip under the East Pass bridge. As we approached Crab Island, we were treated to a pod of dolphins playing in the glow of the sunset. And, like all that was not enough, a squadron of old war birds put on an aerial acrobatic show just over our heads. Those who stuck around for dinner were treated to a fireworks show from the Destin jetty! Amazing, this is quite a paradise we have the good fortune to live in. Happy Halloween everybody! Enjoy this short video of some of the Surf Spooktacular event:
