Hey all. Intermediate/novice here. Been lurking the forum for a few months. I've surfed for the past several summers and finally getting good enough where I want to buy a wetsuite and get some fall action. I'm not a shredder but I do OK on my 7-2 and long board. I live on James Island and surf Folly as much as I can. I'm just about ready for a shorter board I think. Surf report is calling for 4 ft+ Wednesday afternoon. Anything to get excited about? Other than Bertha a few weeks ago its been fairly flat.
Hi Gus, As a fellow Charlestonian, I feel like I need to welcome you to our forum properly. How is your relationship with Jesus? How do you feel about sexual relations with people of the Hindu faith? Anyways, don't trust things you see in surf reports more than a day or two out. The weather is not so easy to predict, and waves rely on the weather. I hope you have thick skin and don't mind the occasional bench off. If you can handle that, I am sure you will be ripping on gnomes in no time, just like the rest of this dysfunctional internet family. Cheers, Brew
welcome aboard brother nice to see someone else from the best state in the world on this forum, viva la south. but only kooks surf 7,2 foot boards, only real surfers surf 7,0 and below get with the program before you paddle out to folly or hhi...the best break in the state but you wouldnt know because you dont live here brah, lokals only. i bet you Charleston people think your better than us that are as far south in south carolina as you can go.but anyways back to the 4 foot thats a little small because over here on the island its forecasted at at least 22 1/2 feet. #hhi the belmar of the south. can you do a air? because if you cant you dont deserve a wetsuite or even need to look at one. i bet your car has about 50 surf logos of your favorite companies, and you brag about how hard you shred and you cant even do a carolina cutback. oh and it hasnt been flat here at all its been atleast 2-5feet the last to weeks after bertha.
Lots of Charlestonians here it seems. Very nice. 10-4. I have noticed you can't trust the reports. But you don't see 4 ft pop up on the radar that much during the summer. And despite the report, we actually had some pretty nice sets on Friday afternoon/ Saturday morning...relatively speaking that is.
Hey Gus, grew up on JI been surfing Folly for over 30 years. Gotta keep your eye on the weather and when in doubt paddle out.
A lot of folks from Charleston; that's pretty sweet. Went to "school" there, got in trouble there, and had a good time there! Maybe next time I come through I'll be able to go surfboarding and have beverage with some of you.
dude your such a kook, its not when in doubt paddle out its..when in doubt whip it out in referring to your **** and not your stick. folly is where all the hollies go come down to hhi where the real sherders are.
no man your wrong do you even eat bbq bro? this is the type of attitude that makes me believe that Charleston should be annexed by belmar, south carolina should get rid of c-town because it is useless. viva la southern south carolina. # dixie pride
