I think the mental aspects are far more important than the equipment. Sure, it's important to have good gear, but none of that matters if you cannot focus and get the job done.

It comes down to...

Bump. :P



Groovey.

Coastal developments are the cause of beach erosion AND the case for "replenishment".

I would encourage anyone who lives in MD to read about the current state of Assateague. It's shrinking, and...

What is all this about bad vibes at Ruggles and/or Newport overall? I surfed a bunch of spots in the area back in '08 while living in upstate NY. I was doing shift work at the time and seldom got the...

Oh man, we did this on my ship in Hawaii. It was cookin' on the North Shore, and we were at sea all weekend. Our captain had us drive by a few miles offshore and called me personally up to the bridge...

Congrats! I'm a new dad too (since the day of Hurricane Sandy Oct. 29). Seeing that he was born on one of the biggest-ever days in MD history, I'm hoping he will love the water. We took him to the...

I have to disagree with most of the people who have replied so far. You do not need to pick a specific major before you show up, but you should at least have a general idea of what you want to study:...

That footage is friggen EPIC. I have a lot of respect for those guys. It should be remembered that they were nowhere f'ng close to any medical facilities. If one of them got hurt, it would have been...

Good stuff, thanks for sharing!

Oh okay, this sounds about right. I had the names mixed up. I did see the little right, which looked fun but definitely not good for the bodysurf. It would have been fun on a shortboard, but...

Those long swims are spooky for me, especially in unfamiliar places. I used to surf Laniakea on Oahu pretty often, once had a leash snap on a big day. I remember realizing the fact when I looked...

I was initially hoping some body surf would be in order. The reef was way the hell offshore though. I do not know the Caribbean at all, and I took one look at the paddle/swim and decided it was...

ha! indeed-aroo. gotta share the anti-stoke sometimes too. ;)

Well spoken!

Oh, I have straps...or "had", rather. It was most certainly not poor planning. I've done many a surf trip in my day. Unfortunately the rackless strappage don't work too well when you only have ~5...

So the wife and I and our 4 month old baby were feeling adventurous and headed down to the Virgin Islands for a week. I haven't ridden a decent wave in "who-the-f#$k knows" how long, and so I was...

Can't help with the 'hood search, but I used to live between Santa Cruz and Frisco, and all I will say is...have fun! Ridiculous surf out there, and most (though not all) people in the water are...

Yarrrr, hopefully you get some South. I spent two years living there, and the spring swell were pretty inconsistent but a really fun time when they happened. Hope you git some!

I have to disagree with most of you. Sure, pro surfers get to travel a lot and surf perfect waves. They also sacrifice time with family, relationships, stability, etc. Anyone here who has traveled a...

Looks like some epic metal detecting conditions! :P

Indeed. Entertainment value!

On a side note, the idea of localism in North Carolina is laughable. In my handful of visits from Nags Head to Frisco, I have met no one who was not friendly and...

Thanks for sharing, great stuff!

That's pretty wild, not sure I've ever met anyone who skated (goofy/reg) and surfed the opposite.

I have seen some amazing footage of Jamie O'Brien surfing switch at Pipe. I can ride switch on a...

I usually rely on ole Nessie, just sayin'

I just wasted 2 minutes of my life reading this thread, only one response with actual information, the rest a juvey pissing contest. Good show, gents.

I have to ask, how were those waves at Punta de Lobos? Ever since seeing Jerry and Jack cruise those lefts in "A Broke Down Melody", I've been wanting to surf that place. I actually had a trip...
