Hurricane Bill Swell at Tybee – 8/22/09

Posted in Surfing on August 24, 2009 by photographybyjoeywilson

For us surfers, there is nothing better than waves from a decent Hurricane Swell combined with not having to worry about said hurricane coming your way. This was our gift with Hurricane Bill. Bill stayed well out in the Atlantic, but did manage to push in a nice little swell. Our waves were not as big or as clean as the waves that rolled in at St. Augustine or Cape Hatteras, but we did get a nice Saturday morning of good size and shape for us!!

Several of the biggest names in East Coast surfing were on Tybee Island as part of a 14-city tour to premiere their new movie “Spectacular Adventures.”

Top surfers, including Ben Bourgeois, Alek Parker, Dustin Howard and Zander Morton, were at a viewing of the movie at Huc-A-Poo’s Bites and Booze, on Tybee Island.

The action sports flick, directed by Jerry Ricciotti, chronicles two years in the lives of some of the East Coast’s best surfers as they sample the world’s top surf destinations, from the Galapagos Islands to the West Indies.










…Time for Fall Sports !! …

It is that time of year again… Fall Sports !!
I love it when high schools and colleges get back into the sports mode. Most of my work is sports related, so I hope I’ll be very, very busy for the next 4 or 5 months.
If I’m lucky, I’ll get to do a few college games this year, but until I get that call, I’ll be getting as much of Benedictine sports action as possible. Coastal Georgia Soccer Association will also be taking up some of my weekends too. I love the games and many of the good young men and women that play regularly have come to know me over the years and they always make an effort to come say hello when I’m shooting their event. It’s been fun watching them grow up over the years.

Here are a few shots from a Benedictine pre season practice! Wishing the Cadets a good and healthy year!!
