merry christmas & happy new year!

Does anyone know where Salzkammergut is?  I didn't get around to looking it up, but apparently Santa's up there taking care of business.  Good for him.  We are also taking care of business, working out butts off at The Beast, as we lovingly refer to it this time of year, so unfortunately there has been little in the way of windy city waterman activities to report on.

Fortunately, a few of my compadres were on hand to take advantage of a nice little swell that came through a few weeks ago.  This is Ed Coyne showing some style on a cool November afternoon.

Look at the shape of these waves!  This is as clean as it gets.  Here's Al Segreti enjoying a classic Evanston peeler.  Great stuff!

So like I said, there's not much happening right now, but don't worry, I'm plotting and planning adventures for 2012 and I will look forward to sharing them with you in the New Year.

Have a fun and safe holiday season.  See you on the water!
