hmmm... I think you're right...if you wanna help out, clean up, fix up your local beach, and maybe make a new friend...cool... you're a kind hearted soul... if you wanna surf because that's what you like to do...then do it... guilt free...methinks too many "you should be helping out not surfing" posts... you should.... do whatever you want. In my experience with storm direct hits (Hugo in SC and more than a few on the OBX in the late 90s & early 2000s)... I never heard such talk... even in the midst of destruction and clean up efforts... we surfed it up in Pig farm runoff turd water... why? Because we're surfers... Help out if you can...surf if you want to!!!!Quote:
The moral question of whether you should surf or not is a personal choice
Couldn't agree more, and wow you brought up Hugo, haven't heard of that one in a while, what a beast!Quote:

BTW, I thought the quote from Mick Fanning after he was eliminated from contention at the O'Neill Coldwater Classic in re: the east coast's suffering was total, pure class on his part.
There is nothing wrong with taking a break to get in a surf. It really helps to get your mind off things for a while. I have had to take some time every day just to keep from freaking out. I was not able to enjoy the one session I had, but it still helped clear my head a bit.
The problem is that the waves will be joined by a Noreaster. That's what nobody needs right now. We need nice warm weather.
Even if the water is unclean what about all the debris? It may be a few months until I get back into the water.
Feeling for you guys, we have definately had our share. I say surf when you can, just don't get speared by any roller coaster tracks.
Yeah that's what I'm talking about lol. I live in brick which is like10 to 15 minutes from seaside, my friends dad went into the bay with a boat and said there's nothing but wood and debris floating around.Quote:
