The videos on this page are the ones that I have taped over the years. I have around 60 hours of video where eventually I'll edit and upload to Surftopsail.com. You might be in some of the video!? But for now I produce what I can as I can afford it. I have been surfing here for 10 years and finally I'm a local. A few people know me but mostly I just keep to myself and do my thing. I photograph and videotape the surfing because I think we have some great surfers here. And in a small way I get to give back to the island and the locals a little that they have given to me by sharing their waves with me. I have more videos on the Youtube link below and will keep taking photographs and uploading videos as I can afford it.
I apologize first because youtube has disabled some of the popular videos. They give us youtube for free, so they want us to check out their sponsors. It's all good. Just double-click the link and video pops up. When you play a video, Youtube makes suggestions in a playlist. I can't change that. If you want to go back to the surftopsail channel, just click Surftopsail button on left top of youtube page. http://www.youtube.com/user/SurfTopsail

These videos are a attempt to Photograph and Videotape the Hurricane and storm swells on Topsail Island and showcase the local Surfers and other Watermen.
There is a contact link to the right where you can get in touch with me to make comments or suggestions. I have killed 4 video cameras and 2 digital cameras while taping storms in the salt, sand, rain and sun so far. :) And that's ok. I've learned lesson all along.
I hope you enjoy the videos and photos and eventually hope to offer private video and photo sessions and make DVDs you can watch on your TV or computer at home. Thanks for your support. Keep checking back.
