Yeah, wind forecasts the past two days have been pretty off. (not just here - NWS has had it wrong, too) I've noticed over the years that forecasters simply cannot seem to nail the wind predictions...

They say it's too crowded, overdeveloped, full of corruption and the people are rude. Yes, the whole country mocks New Jersey. As the whole country becomes more and more like Jersey every day.
Long Branch took way more than 2-3 years to come back. I'd say 8-10.
Interesting. Bob, not sure if you're in NJ or not. But I keep getting questions from non surfers asking me if they think it's going to be dangerous to swim this summer due to debris in the water. I...
There was a 100 or so that spent last winter on the hook. You could see em out on the bars in the bay in big groups like in San Fran or something. My cousin took this vid on his cell phone fishing...
Because we have to go to work. I'd rather spend the extra 15 minutes it takes me to drive home and shower catching a few more waves.
Yup. US shapers..another industry that's gonna lose out on the emerging Cuban market due to the idiotic embargo.
Bro, I could talk about Cuba for hours. Seriously. I don't know where to start or what to tell you. My main thing would be GO. Go now, go as soon as you can. Besides my longer stint there I went one...
Yeah, I spent 7 weeks there in summer of 1998. Flew in from Ecuador and backpacked around. Insane, mentally and emotionally exhausting and incredibly awesome at the same time.
Remember it would be against US law to sell a US-made surfboard there. You know, that would be enabling the Castro regime.
Huge policy difference between NY and NJ here. There is zero talk right now of any buyout program in NJ. This could certainly change with one quick announcement, but for now it's really interesting...
I just got fitted by my dentist for a night guard because I clench my teeth when I concentrate or am exerting myself, and am grinding em down to nubs and need crowns, etc. Since he told me this, I...
Exactly. I had never heard of this place before. Now I find myself googling it and thinking, Hmmm, maybe this guy got screwed, needs some business and will bend over backwards to accommodate guests...
In his defense, web video is a really, really tough game in terms of trying to hold people's attention, especially if you don't have footage and are just doing a standup. I was prepared to be...
Gotta dispute this, at least in this instance. A buddy of mine was living in a shoebox apt. in Manhattan and wanted a longboard to learn on and bought a pope bisect. Could never have fit a longboard...
I recently saw a dude using (and ads online for) a gizmo where it allows you to remotely turn on a camera that you have set up on a tripod on the beach. To me, that's a way more valuable tool. That...
Jamail Yogis, The author of "Saltwater Buddha" (which was very good) has a new book out this week that I really want to read called "The Fear Project."It's billed as en exploration of fear in the...
Total cost of illegal immigrants on the US economy (according to the restrictionist Federation for Immigration Reform) $114 billion per year
Total cost of obesity on the US economy: (according to...
The non sandy stuff was $400 million bucks in a $60 billion bill. I suck at math, but I know that's not a majority.
Yo, when I was a kid my mother would put wonder bread bags over our socks before we put our crappyass rubber boots on to go out in the snow. It helped with the waterproofing issue, but also made em...
That. I may or may not have been able to help you with your questions, but I couldn't get through the posts to know. A few taps of the return button would have helped. Punctuation is not some old...
First off, great post, great thread. I feel like I'm in this same situation a lot. On the 21st, I didn't paddle out. I knew I'd get hammered. I feel like my surfing is close to being able to make...
I don't have much problem with beach fees within reason. One problem is that state law requires the towns to use that money solely for the purpose of maintaining and patrolling the beaches. The...
Trouble getting motivated to surf? What? What? Wow. I simply cannot relate at all.
I'm 41, with a drafty old work-starved house and two rugrats, in the middle of a huge project at my falling-apart...
If you're dating someone you need to give them the surfing test.
When my wife and I were dating and it first started getting serious, I would get up in the morning and go paddle out EVEN WHEN IT...
