Gorgeous, just gorgeous. I'm totally kicking myself for not using a sick day to enjoy that day in the water. Looking at the forecast for the next few days makes it even worse.

I'm near-sighted and have needed glasses since the 5th grade. I always wear my soft contacts when I'm out in the water. Without my contacts I'd be completely unable to get set up for waves - my...
Another awesome video, thanks for sharing :)
That's VIR: Virginia International Raceway - and I agree with brewengineer. A day at the track would definitely be a good day to spend on dry land.
I didn't see any DOH action mid town but it was super clean with some mid-chest freaks coming through. Mostly thigh and waist high but still super fun.
I found this as well:

Quite sobering. 8th pic down is OC, MD, not OC, NJ. Anyway, I'll be donating to the Red Cross...
Not sure if you've seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD0Z0sodqhA
It's not Ireland, but it's not far from it either.
The afternoon was kinder to me than the morning. It'd been about a month since I'd been out and didn't feel anything but winded in the AM. Since I didn't get my jollies in the early sesh I went...
I picked up a 2mil Quicksilver shorty a few years ago off of eBay. I think I paid $15. It was used but in great shape - and it's held up extremely well. I thought I'd just use it between 3/2 and...
Yeah man, that feeling does suck. Sorry to hear you lost your watch!
Great! Just sent you an e-mail.
Hehe, no need for zipties, I plunked down $10 for some new tethers. I got lucky last time and found a R fin on ebay. That's the one I lost this AM :(
I was out Wednesday evening around 18:00 and then again this AM. Wednesday evening was super sick. It was the biggest I'd seen all summer. 3-4 footers with some 5,6 and maybe even 7 footers coming...
So, it's happened again. Truly shame on me because I had a pair of fin tethers in my bag - I just was in such a rush to get out that I skipped wearing them.
I know this is a long shot but if any...
I'm curious to know where you ended up going. I'm only ~1 hour from OC and was watching the cams all yesterday (Wed) being tortured. As soon as I could hit the road I did and man was it worth it. ...
There's already a thread on this here:

Also, WRAU 88.3 FM, is doing a story on this @ noon today.
Ha, that'd be crazy if it did make it to NJ. You're right though, losing that fin bummed me out for the rest of the day. I have other sets of fins but most of them I can't wear:
- 1 pair of...
I know this is a long shot but if any of you run across a size large, right foot, blue and yellow, Churchill Makapuu with a Hubb fin pad/tether - I'd love to have it back.
I was around 39th St....
Here's the latest on this issue:

BRbodyboard, thanks for clarifying.
I dunno, maybe they can't afford a surf board. I'm just trying to understand what exactly they're trying to ban.
What the hell is standup bodyboarding? Are talking about drop-knee? Or kids that actually stand up and "surf" on their bodyboards? OR, are they trying to target those "beater" boards?
Haha, nice. I'm a sap for kid/dad surf stuff.
So anyone in the water @ OCMD this AM? My week has turned to hell because of work (was up until 4 AM this AM). I'm betting it was pretty nice around 6-6:30 AM. Please torture me.
In OCMD I ditched the 3 mil booties/gloves and have been in my 3/2 for a few weeks now. After this AM's session I think I'll try my 2/2 springsuit, which is what I tend to stay in throughout the...
Good thing Mexico's Independence Day isn't until September =)
