In smaller surf, I ride an 8-foot 7S Superfish XL. I rode a longboard for awhile and loved its wave-catching ability but, truth be told, i never could get the thing to turn. I mean, like, at all... ...

Thanks, Matt. I've always been impressed with the folks who put on and support this event for the small convent that can very much use the help.

I grew up in Avalon and surfed as a kid. I got...

How did the contest go this year? Was it well-attended by surfers and spectators? I really wanted to go, but had to be home in DC that weekend. I did pick up the t-shirt, though, when I was in...

Welcome to surfing!!! Buying that funboard was one of the best decisions you ever made.

I was stuck at the same level you are for about one full season. My problem (which may be a little...

When in doubt, paddle out (or at least go to the beach), I say. Current weather forecasts on the NJ shore are for wind and rain on Friday, but sunny Saturday through Monday. Right now, there's...

Okay, so I just finished the book "West of Jesus" by Steven Kotler. Very good book about one surfer's travels around the world in a quest to understand the spirituality behind surfing, but I think...

Welcome back to surfing, Rockajet. I'm 44 and took it up again about four years ago after a 25 year hiatus as well. I would definitely start with a long board. I started (or re-started) with a 9...

Yep, that clears it up. i never knew there were two different forecasts for OCNJ. You're right, I was looking at the other one. Thanks.

The main differences i've found are with the color coding. I'm looking at Saturday and Sunday on the iPhone and for OCNJ it's showing blue/red (am/pm) for Saturday and blue/blue for Sunday, whereas...

Okay, so i just caved in and bought an iPhone, and being a solid SwellInfo loyalist, I immediately bought the SwellIfo "applet" for a few bucks.

The applet is great- easy interface, easy to read...

Thanks, Mr. Swellinfo. This is a big help.

So... you think the waves at Southern NJ are really going to hit 13+ feet? I grew up on the Jersey shore (Avalon) and i have NEVER seen anything that...

Can someone educate me a bit on the significance of period when measuring waves? I understand "period" to mean the period of time between swells. Some of the other threads seem to suggest that a...

Can someone educate me a bit? Why are long period swells more likely to close out and be unrideable than short period swells? I can see why the size of the wave in relation to the depth and shape...

Hate to sound like the group Dad here, crew, but Norcal Transplant is right. Anyone of intermediate skill level or less (like me) ought to think hard about paddling out if the surf is really as big...

Hey team, I am taking a trip to Costa Rica this December. Staying at the Harmony Hotel in Nosara. Have any of you been to Nosara? Any recommendations on best place to surf, where to eat, best...
