Great thread. Read only some of it. Watched Mark Richards blow away the competition & Buttons play around in double overhead North Shore both on twin fins. So when I hear a friend say its toooo big...
Thanks Dean for putting Atlantic County, NJ (VIA USA) on the map once again! God Bless You!! P.S. Surfed this place last August on a swell that broke many a boards!!
Slides 7 - 12!!!!

& who pays for this? Oh, the government …….which is on the verge of a financial collapse since it spent & borrowed more so in the past 2 years than ever before (Can you say Greece). Unless this...
XTR boards have pin holes across the deck & along the rails to allow the board to release gas when they heat to prevent delamination. I picked up a 6 6 Joe Blair quad four years ago. Scouped nose...
I’ve followed a handful of wave forecasting models over the years, and I’ve learned a few things over time. First, don’t put your eggs in one basket. Analyze the free wave forecasting models that...
When you are surfing your local break on a great day & the crowd is thick especially with nonlocals & semi locals and they drop in on you (KNOWINGLY)....... there is only one thing to do (especially...
Anyway, this weekend will be ROCKIN!!!!!!!I Trust me!! Macking SE swell!!!!! I'm sooo over due!!!
Just travel if you can. Make sure its a good point or reef break. Something that is all about positioning. A wave that gives you the speed to do want you want!!! And when your done with the surf...
Oh yea!!! My current Merric Rookie (6'6") is one of the best power boards I have ever owned. It works well if you surf hard off your back foot. Great for paddling as I am about 200 lbs. 2 well...
I think it was Jacques Cousteau who said, "We are never more than 50 feet from some kind of shark when we are in the ocean"!!!!
Amen to that Alvin!!!!!!!!!
Since art is a craft or skill that someone may possess, than one could argue that a surfboard is a piece of art as opposed to surfing a wave which could be considered a work of art. I'm glad I'm not...
The journey began in 1975 & never let up. 35 glorious years & still going strong (except for the knees on occasion). 1st board was a Steve Walden something or other w/ dings & ducktape. I will...
I didn't read all the replies in this thread, but please chew on this. No pun intended. Someone I know went up into Oregon recently for a surf trip. He said it was really nerv- racking with the...
You need a goto guy from one of the surf shops. Lock in a surf shop so they know your a true repeat custormer. Get to know someone in the lineup that works at a shop. I'm talking about an owner or...
Solo!!!!! All the way. Check bouys/wind/tide like SurferDann & have at it. PS Today was freakin ROCKIN. HOLY MOLLY.....................SHACK CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much of the swell this morning was substantial short period windswell w/ long period Igor mixed in. Del Buoy went 5 ft @ 15 seconds arounnd 7 PM. I do not believe it will get any smaller between...
Upper level winds north of RI are cranking westerly. Therefore, this storm should move relatively slowly untill it gets off RI. Waves should be much more substantial than Danielle. NO DOUBT!!! ...
You must be looking at virtual buoys. I'm sure the Del. buoy is not equiped w/ wave direction instrumentation since it never provides that specific type of infor. Virgina buoy does. As for the...

Time will tell. Strong high in the North Atlantic may dictate a similiar track to that of Danielle. Not quite sure about storm strength yet. I hope more than Danielle. Read your buoys!!!!!
Grab this swell while it lasts. I hope this swell wraps tight & cranks up. Kelvin waves are few & far between. Administrator, can you keep up!!!!
A groundswell by definition is any swell energy that propogates from a windfield. On the east coast we typically get short period ground swells after a front moves thorough (i.e. 5 ft @ 8 seconds). ...
I would wait till the 13th then make the CALL!!!!!
Great spots wll always regulate themselves. As for point breaks vs. beach breaks, if you rip beach breaks you will destroy point breaks and surf reef breaks 10X's better than beachbreaks. I can only...
