who here has been surfing this week?

I almost made that trek, I wished I would have, the pics looks fun!

 

it was. SUP guys got a bit greedy but it was very fun. some new spots turned out with the storm.

 

You guys nailed it (Pump, Mitchell)

Hit TPTSNBN @ DP. Had to be back in concrete land for various crap on Sunday. Incoming HT made it fat & wonky.
Timed it completely wrong: continuing to justifying my hack surfer existence as a hack surfer.
15 days til CR, I might screw even that up

 

I stole 2 pics from a friend. South Side on Sunday

 

Yank, I live a hell of a lot closer than you and I feel the same way sometimes. Timing always seems off. After not being in the water for a bit and then spending 4 hours out yesterday, I was cramping in place I didn't know I could cramp! HA HA

 

Got to out mid afternoon figuring the sets would have dropped a bit but it was still pretty heavy. Even when there were lulls, they were short enough that I watched a lot of dudes get washed inside when they couldn't make it all the way out before the next set. Waited it out for while watching the guys on SB rip. Paddled out on my funboard and got out as the swell died down. Haven't used this board in a year so my timing was shot. Probably should have just taken the LB.

It's definitely gloves weather now up here, at least when it's not sunny which is a bummer.

 

Hey if it makes you feel any better me and Mr. B had opportunity but screwed it up. Difference being he was home. I woke up at 2AM after going to bed at 1130 to drive 5 hours north. Like Mr. B said it was raw and onshore. Waited. Winds got better but still not organized. Saw opportunities to paddle out but kept waiting hoping to get it at its best. By the time it got really good to much water was stacked up inside and it was just not happening. No one was making it out. Only guys were the guys who were already out. And if they took a wave to far inside, sesh over. So i drove another 5+ hours home. Now that's a manmade skunking. So don't feel bad. If you screw up CR, then it's time to feel bad.

Even though it was a bust, it was actually an awesome trip. That coast is unreal. Always cool to see diffrent set ups. Can't wait to give it another go now with the knowledge not to wait for the water to stack up inside. Live and learn

 

It picked up a bit last week, I think it was Tuesday evening, wind, tide and swell conspired and it was sweet. Only waist to chest and kinda weak, it was walled up and had long ramps and the water was warm and clear, red tide blown well offshore so the pure experience of wave riding with a few stoked surfers was felt deeply and still resonates within as a promise for future sessions.

Friday the full moon high tide and my work window conspired against me, so I put my board on the beach and bodysurfed shore thumping tubes till I was spent. It was quite a rush. Life is goode.

 

Were you up around Nanny? I know a few guys said The T’s was sorta kinda working but everywhere else it seemed the same. It’s looks the same as yesterday but smaller on the cams and looked worse this a.m
Wednesday and Thursday are forecasting good but so did yesterday ....

 

Drove to Jersey Saturday night. Caught it pretty good Sunday was worth the drive. Now back in NC waiting to see what Oscar does.

 

The height was tough but the period was brutal.

 

Google Earth says I was 21 miles from the tallest building pictured. Empty lineups and favorable wind direction.

BassMon was saying he wanted to move up here, watching the surf, and then the angels sang as he perused Nor’Easter Surf Shop so he said it again.

I just wanna move some place warm
With frikken waves and frikken sharks with frikken laser beams attached to their frikken heads...

I accidentally grabbed my 4/3 yesterday when I was leaving the house and turns out I was really glad I did. May need boots next session. Water really dropped yesterday afternoon.
