July 10, 2011. Western Head, NS. Surfing in Gull Bay.

The waves do not look high enough, but there they are, out surfing at Gull Bay, right in front of our home.   The day is perfect, with clear skies and bright sunshine.  Even better than the weather, the surf is up.  I did not notice the surf early this morning, but someone in the surfer community arrived to measure the surf.   Soon, the surfers appeared.  And stayed.  I think it was surfer school.  Cell phones rule.

The wind is always blowing at the shore.  We wonder why someone doesn't try wind surfing?  Several years ago, we asked, and were told that the many rocks make wind surfing dangerous, but we have many long beaches without large rocks.    Large kites are pulled by surfers in the Pacific, even out in the waves, but nothing doing here in Nova Scotia.  I wonder why?

Today, it is a picture perfect postcard moment, here at Gull Bay, and we are enjoying the scene.
