there are many different kinds of longboards designed for different types of waves. even noseriders, which are arguably the most specialized kind of longboards, can be surfed well in a variety of...

I saw a dude out on a kayak in RI sunday morning and he was very capable. Much more in control than most of the surfers. ride whatever you want, just respect others.

Be curious to hear about barbados. What's so great about it? Got a 10th wedding anniversary coming up and and thinking about a trip.

By the way, here is how marriage goes:

Awesome story. There's so much to enjoy about surfing beyond simply riding waves.

Any more info on the Bing rude boy above? Dims? Doesn't seem to be on their website. Wonder what niche this is supposed to fill. I have a dharma which is great, but I sometimes wish I could turn...

Yoga is pretty ideal. Balance, flexibility, core strength, breathing.

just a surfboard is not enough to surf year round. in the northeast, you need at least 2 wetsuits, one with hood, plus at least one pair of boots and gloves. I agree that more than 1 surfboard is...

that mini gun is super cool.

What do you think is the minimum kit you need to surf year round where you live? What would be ideal for you if money/storage were not issues? For me in RI:

Minimum:
Wetsuits: Hooded 5/4/3, 3/2,...

Turtle rolling is not very effective for me. Maybe I just don't know how to do it right, but I think rolling off your board and then jumping back on is too time consuming for the short period swell...

I'm no expert, but it seems to me you have two options, neither of which is perfect.

First, you can stay inside and try to catch the smaller waves. When a bigger set comes through, you can...

Waldens have a lot of rocker-- they are more performance longboards. For really small waves, easy wave catching you want a more old school longboard-- flat rocker. Walden will be better on bigger,...

Impressive surfing bob.

I have a single fin egg shape he calls the Honey Badger (pic below). It's basically a shrunken Magic model (Skip Frye style egg). Board is super smooth. Mine is 6'10. Best in chest high and up,...

This seems like a good opportunity for you to consider why you are so amped up about surfing that you would risk your life and the life of your friend like that. I would liken it to almost ODing on...

Here is my general scheme based on water temp. I usually surf dawn patrol in RI.

Below 45 degrees- Hooded 5/4, 7mm boots, 5mm lobster claw gloves
45 - 60 degrees - 4/3. Low end of this range,...

I used to have the same issue and I started doing yoga 4x a week about 6 months ago. Zero lower back pain now. Plus yoga really makes you feel great all around.

If this is truly meant to ruin the wave, this is sad and pathetic. I have never surfed Ruggles because I am a pretty crappy surfer and I have too much respect for the people who surf it well. It...

If I was going to open a surf shop, I would try to stay away from anything you could buy cheaper online. Even your generic channel islands, lost, etc boards can be bought and shipped to your home...

Single fin egg, 7ft to 8ft.

If you've ever surfed a twin, how would you compare it the twinzer? Does it provide a lot more hold or do you think you might as well go for the full on twin fin if you want to go in that direction?

Anybody who surfs twinzers, would be interested in hearing your experiences, especially if you've ridden them on a shortboard (not a fish). I like boards that make their own speed (not into having...

njsurfer-- how do you like the bing bonzer? what size are you riding? would you say it's really a better wave board? thanks

8'0" Walden Magic Model for sale. Located in southern Mass, but I am in RI frequently and have family there so could coordinate pickup there too. $350. Full dims are 8'/22"/2 3/4". Board is in...
