Providence Community Boating

July 29, 2014

This summer I've had the opportunity to visit the Providence Community Boating Center in an effort to provide Providence families with great on-the-water photos of their young sailors.

The Providence CBC program follows a much different model than the junior programs I'm used to, with a total of 4 two week all day programs for kids to attend versus the four-week or eight week models of other junior sailing programs.  But this program has no lack of enthusiasm from it's young sailing students!  Some stay for more than two weeks, some return every summer, while others get their first taste of being out on the water.  They have a wide array of boats for the kids to use including Hunter 140s, Laser Picos, Hobie 16s, JY 15s, and even more!  I've visited a couple of times now and will be returning for another two visits before the summer is over.  You can learn more about the Providence CBC here.

I had been eagerly awaiting this winter season.  Here in New England, the winter months can be rather frigid, but for those of us who don’t mind the exhaustive work of climbing into 6 mil wetsuits or ice-cream-headache cold waters, it’s the eagerly anticipated winter months that bring the biggest swells.  We had snow before the New Year and water temps quickly started approaching 40°F.  But in typical fashion, as soon as the long awaited winter months arrived, I was craving a break from the cold gray in favor of a warm water reprieve.

Board Portraits // Experiments
Board Portraits // Experiments

I've been wanting to shoot more portraits lately, but in combination with the surf community that I've been so involved with the past year.  My good friend, Kevin Tanner, behind Soudnings Surf Co creates some gorgeous handcrafted boards.  He does all his own shaping, resin work, and glassing, and I wanted to photograph some beautiful boards to highlight his craftsmanship as well as portraits of my friends who ride them.  I decided to do board portraits.

Snowy Surf Sessions
Snowy Surf Sessions

A lot of us enjoy the warm weather, but a select few of us still enjoy (or perhaps tolerate) the cold weather.  And nothing quite says winter like a fresh snowfall!  On the rare occasion Rhode Island experiences more than one inch of snow while there's swell in the water, you can find a select few of dedicated riders on the shore eager to have a snow session.
