Totally awesome little town with rock reefs north and south and barrelin beach breaks right out front. sun screen and light colored rash guards/tshirts will be your friend. plenty of cool locals and...

There was at least one wedgy peak that was easily DOH+ in Central Jerz.. I got a good lesson in humility. Hopefully someone here caught a few snapshots and posts them. There were a handful of guys...

It's a great board for small waves, I ride my 6'1 flyer in knee to overhead surf. Won't work on a lake though. Might want to take another look at the forecast for this week.

Ha, pulling a gun out in a situation like that will get you killed quick. You don't want to scare a dude with nothing to lose who's pointing a gun at you.

In the US, people who carry a gun are 3...

Yeah, I'm a huge nerd. I have logged standout sessions from the last few years. You can find the historical data on your local buoy by digging through the NDBC website (for example, if you're looking...

I can only speak for hyperflex 5 mil boots, which i bought four years ago. They fit well, but always filled with water quickly. By the second season, they both had split seams and my feet froze. A...

How long could the drive possibly take.. I took this pic friday around noon somewhere on hatteras island.

Rodanthe was working all day today. Eat your f'n wheaties, the paddle is a b. There's a couple spots breaking heavy near the beach, but most are solid 100+ yd paddle outs thru walls of white water....

hmm.. sit on the sofa watching other people play sports.. or surf.
what to do.. what to do..

The paddle outs should be interesting in hatteras.

I just counted 18 sec between two of the biggest waves I've seen in a while.. this sucka has arrived.

and make your trucks about as loose as they can get. you dont get the wobbles if you're constantly on edge.

wait.. doesn't anyone bomb insanely steep hills drifting their longboard like a snowboard?? i thought thats what they were for. i've ripped through wheels on flexdex, sector 9, dreggs and a couple no...

Thanks for finding that article on THE PREMIER obx report. The guys that run that site are pretty cool. So its the bathymetry that is going to screw us.. I didnt realize 20sec swell can hit bottom in...

+1 on the bong ripping porpoise

I recently read an article about the elusive southern hemi swells that reach the mid atlantic.. dont remember if it was here or MSW. Theres currently a large area of strong north fetch pretty close...

1. Its hot as nuts this summer, the ocean water was unusually warm early and more people are going to their local beach instead of big vacations.
2. Yes, the waves have been a bit more powerful...

Play Deaf, people!
Make the guards get wet!
NEVER respond to a whistle!
I've been making guards physically escort me out of the water my entire life, and i've never been ticketed. Stand your...

Isnt' streamlined dolphin kick the fastest a human can move through water? It's not on your list. Notice in competitive swimming they have restrictions on how far they can do it before they have to...

Woooo! Can't wait for September!
thanks for the tip

speaking of.. how were the new inlets working? and are there any beach restrictions?

Thanks all for the feedback guys. I realized that the dude who said it was head high has never surfed anywhere besides the mid atlantic. Check out the fiji pro at cloudbreak last month.. they (pro...

[QUOTE=surfdawave;132576]3 ft swell with the right direction, wind and tide can easily be head high.

Sure, if its 2 or 3 ft at 18 sec like a decent west coast swell.. but around here, you need a...

Someone said there were "head high" sets in south jersey this past weekend. Can anyone on here vouch for that? I spent the last two days in Monmouth at some of the standout breaks, and I'm not...

Ha.. Nobody in their right mind is going to tell you where their spots are. Explore. Google satellite is a good start. As your skill level progresses you'll find yourself riding better waves. Give it...

I am on my third ring since i didnt like the fit of the first two (I'm a machinist). Neither my wife or I are too sentimental about the one that some preist waved his magical hand over, but i still...
