I was just goofin' on ya, EC. No animosity intended. Thunderstorms in the forecast for Friday, so I will stay close to home and paddle out at 130th St in OCMD, in the AM. No need to PM me - just come...

In addition to using the fabulous swellinfo PM asynchronous communication system to ensure there is someone else out in the water besides yourself on Friday, you may want to consider a complementary...

When I was in the navy, there was this Canadian Forces guy doing an exchange tour with the US Navy who used to say to us yanks, "Don't make us come down there and kick your ass again." (Jokingly...

Good luck. It is good to focus on your training, but if you do get the chance to surf in FL you should go for it (even if you have to borrow a board, bum a ride to the break, etc.). Nothing like a...

Better ditch the new 9' Walden and get an SUP. I'm sure your fellow surfers in the lineup will love ya for it.

I've seen really good longboarders do fin first takeoffs and then spin the board around with their feet during drop or soon after.

North jetty at Indian River Inlet was fun last summer on days when the swell was >4'. Smaller than 4' you pretty much had to go at low tide. Smaller than 2' it wasn't even ridable. Access is through...

Morning in north OCMD was nice and clean on 4/1. Winds started off calm, then picked up from the west. By mid-afternoon, more south in the winds and definitely more chop. Size in the morning was...

Maybe one of the admins or devs will chime in . . .

I am pretty sure the forecast timeline used to be an embedded flash element. Now it looks like it is done with html/javascript/css. I remember...

Saw one last week Wed. at Indian River Inlet north jetty in Delaware in the afternoon. It popped its head out of the water about 10 yds in front of me as I sat in the lineup. I could of sworn it...

Those "Live Aloha" bumper stickers are on like every other car on Oahu. You especially notice them when getting cut off on the H-1 by a big Samoan guy in a beat up Hyundai.

Back on topic: always...

North OC was looking sweet on Wed afternoon. The bar around 130th probably still isn't as good as midtown's but way better than last winter's. Sturgis does amazing work with the camera showcasing OC...

Haha. I thought this thread was going to be about scoring free food from dumpsters behind grocery stores.

I am also noticing something different about the left-column forecast blocks. Seeing gray boxes for some of the PM height blocks. Also, in the "Conditions" text section, I see the pipe character "|"...

One of my friends who was a hobbyist shaper would paint each board with his wife. For one of the boards he shaped for me, they used this glow in the dark paint and did an astronomy motif with stars,...

If it's a real dawn patrol where I roll out of bed and go (having loaded boards, wetsuit, towel, etc. the night before), I usually just grab a bottle of water and something light to eat to raise the...

Thanks for the info mitchell. Bethany Beach buoy page: http://frf.usace.army.mil/bethanybeach/bb.shtml

The guy with the crazy long surf streak mentioned in the OP is Dale Webster from Sonoma County.

kurebeach - you rock for doing this. Best of luck to you and keep going.

I grew up on the east coast (and recently moved back) but lived on oahu for 17 years. I have some scrapes and scars from reefs on the north and west shores, but none of them were too painful. My...

I've lived on the east coast, hawaii, and cali, and I think the worst consistently difficult paddle out for "regular guy" surfers like myself is Ocean Beach SF. It is such a pain that most of the...

Overall (especially compared to nj), OC made out fine with Sandy. Lots of guys have been surfing midtown since the hurricane.

AI was closed for awhile after the hurricane because the bridge took...

Point Break was great - they pulled off combining a "surf movie" with "cops 'n robbers" movie and it was entertaining. Keanu Reeves can't act his way out of a paper bag, but he's been in some decent...

US economy can't handle $4+ gas.

The real risk to loss of accessible gasoline for most US drivers is production shut-in leading to physical shortages. Government will respond with rationing. This...

IRI does seem to be breaking smaller, especially this year. The Mid Atlantic > Southern Delaware forecast needs to be at least 2-3 ft for it to be even worth checking. Otherwise, you're right -...
