I think I'm going to go for it. We're supposed to get around 87% coverage, so perhaps visibility will be similar to an early morning or late evening session. Or maybe it'll get too dark and I'll have to get out

It maxes out at 2:51.

just don' t look up at the sky , you can go blind and miss your next wave bro.

Night surfing during the day! I am there!

Grabbing a board and Hitting the water. (Hopin somethn Science-Fictiony happens and I get time-shifted back to being 21. I've been wantn a do-over.)

Brother, when you get a minute, could I get a list of the words that trigger these fits?


Hey. Where are we going? (And what are we doing in a hand-basket?)

Mama always told us not to look into the eyes of the sun...

But mama. that's where the fun is.

I'll prob wait and try this tomorrow...


-------------------------
... positioning and selection

Waves aren't really cooperating... could be a fail

Just make sure to wrap yourself up like a douche!

Bro, that's why I'll just wear my eclipse goggles while I'm shredding, it'll be so retro!

Noticeably darker right now. And, was just outside with eclipse glasses. Looks cool. I can tell the sun rays aren't has hot on my skin also.

Did you notice the shadows like under trees are all crescent shapes? Wild!!!

Just got in from surfing SatBe. Surfin the apocalypse eclipse peeps.

It was WILD. Just wind waves mind you up to the rib high range with some bigger and most stomach high. Plenty of shoulders and sections. Not much juice (being just wind waves) but better than it's been.

But I made sure I got out there before the eclipse started. Then everything got darker (not black ever) -- it was gold like dark amber/gold. Like surfing with those iridium Oaklies from back in the 80's. Like surfing on another planet. Not a fantastic wave planet mind you, but still. the light and shimmer on the water and your skin was wild different. It kind of messed with your depth perception at its hight. BUT IT WAS A TRIP catching rides with all that light show going on!

It was cool and very worth doing.

Very "cool" with a noticeable drop in temp and some fun rideable waves.

A nice little lady walking down the beach let us use her "real" shades to check it all out at the peak too, thank you!

I surfed in the morning at Summer Haven, when it was somewhat choppy. Then I went up to Anastastia State Park intending to just watch to eclipse, but the waves were actually pretty good so I got out the board and surfed up until a few minutes before the peak, then came out and put on the glasses. It was a neat experience -- it did get fairly dark but it was different type of darkness than it is at dusk.

waves were fun, temperature went down and it felt like an evening sesh. then sun came back out and heated things back up. wasnt really an insane event but fun surf none the less 

Same, wasn't quite what I expected, but pretty fun anyways

Check out @jquinny on Instagram to see a pretty cool shot of surfing under the total eclipse at the Washout, Folly Beach, Charlseton, South Cackalacky!
