I’m thinking about waxing my board in preparation for the monster surf and plan to paddle out on the surfer’s beach in Belmar, NJ! I’ll probably bring my 5.4 mill in case of upwelling. What do you guys think?
Yesterday I saw a few guys doing a nice job using foam boards.....and a dozen guys literally standing, feet in the sand, in the break jumping off the bottom onto their glass boards without paddling in. Bit of a hazard to surf with, but they must have been real surfers because they had glass boards under 9ft.
