This shot was taken while on a video shoot for Mikey DeTemple’s film Sight|Sound. We were up in Nova Scotia filming for a week or so and this was one of those moments. God I love it up there. It’s beautiful. It’s exactly what you’d expect. Endless empty lineups with dreamy landscapes, real wilderness. The backdrops are just so astounding, I’d love to go back in the fall when all of the leaves are changing, it’s probably one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to and I’ve been to many of the traditionally beautiful blue water blue sky tropical places.

There’s something about a cold morning with stiff offshores. Rocky coastline with pointbreak after pointbreak, and twisty roads along cliffs lined with Evergreens. The surfing going on up there is pretty amazing and there’s an incredibly tight knit community of surfers, when you’re in town, they know immediately so you can’t play any tricks on them. I love it up there, did I say that?

I was unsure where Uncle Jamey was taking us as we walked through the parking lot filled with rental cars of all shapes and sizes. He promised waves to ourselves and I, in fact being a “tourist” figured he knew best, so I followed. We strolled past the pristine, wave less beach crowded with ice chests and beach chairs and continued along, following a lightly worn trail that led us into a forest of thorn riddled trees and waist high grass. We walked the trail for nearly an hour before coming out of the trees and exiting onto our own private beach, the waves weren’t big but they were perfect. We surfed alone for hours before finally heading back, again walking past the unsuspecting out-of-towners and the new batch of rental cars filling the parking lot.

After arriving to our campsite in the dark we could only hear the cracking of the barrel with each breaking wave. The nights sleep was restless as our imaginations wondered what the morning would hold for us. Waking with the sun, this is what our bleary eyes spied.
