Alaska Dreamin'

Jake Beaudoin surfing Yakutat, Alaska beneath the towering Saint Elias Mountains.

So today, Meghan found a job posting for a Magistrate position in Yakutat and asked what I thought. Well I started nosing around the internet and found some ridiculous pics of the surfing just outside the Yakutat townsite (I am still nursing a nasty bite by the surfbug that I got this summer in Kodiak). It looks like the breaks are fairly consistent, but I'll bet the water is frrrrrigid (it's a glacier-fed bay). Alasaka Air flies a jet in and out, so leaving town wouldn't be a problem. Still waiting for Boppa Wilco (a human encyclopedia of Alaska and surfing knowledge) to get back about the life and waves in Yakutat. For now, it's all a daydream.
