Antarctica, Argentina and Uruguay 01·26·10

Sorry for not giving you a heads up…was in Haiti for Christmas and 5 days after getting back to SB, the quake hit and well, it’s been horrific. It is just so so sad, words just simply are to feeble to describe the loss. My mom has been put in charge of US medical relief in Haiti and is swamped with logistical nightmares and short supplies of just about everything…I am in Argentina, having just returned from a ten day cruise to Antarctica, where I found this wave. At about 3-4feet overhead, in the middle of the ocean, breaking off an iceberg (many more photos to come, and yes, those are the real colors, it has not been color corrected or tweaked in any way, that is what it looked like…surreal) it had certainly never been ridden, and unfortunately probably never will be (I did not have my surf gear on the cruise). Exciting to think how many more of these are out there. Am in Argentina and Uruguay for the next few days and will upload more photos than you can handle when I am back stateside. What a crazy year this has been. Pray for healing in Haiti.
