    I don't think I've ever seen that flat of a forecast in my entire life.

    Wow, just wow

    I think I have screen shots of it with absolutely no bumps whatsoever this summer. It was tough to see. And I swear, if you were here when BassMon came up youd shite. It was insane. Looked like Jersey on a hurricane swell

    Yeah I heard Mass is holding. But after that shark story you told @Coast Guards, I won't be booking my flight anytime soon

    Yeah, it was pretty out of control. There’s some video of that day after it later down a bit and it’s still savage. Every so often it happens around here that’s worthy of bragging. I guess this past week in some spots was 10’plus and hard peeling monster green faces. “Next level” was the quote I got from a very seasoned and reliable source. It’s just this fall we had such a short window without the constant heavy winds that usually park here after Christmas. I swear everyswell day has had 20+mph offshore or cross winds of some kind just wrecking havoc or holding typically mushburger biggies open so they become these insane faces and 100 yard closeouts. I was stoked at least BMon got to see some good stuff.
    Also showed him that some of the locals are no joke when it comes to big nasty winter swells...

    That was way down the coast Big Daddy, and their all gone now to wherever they boogie to. Been very quiet. Besides that, for the swell we get up north of Cape, we’d never take you there! So many spots that fire around here I can’t count and there’s usually always a spot to go!
    The buoys and gals that call down their home still surf it - and I get it though... some great spots and gorgeous beaches.

    I was sold right at the 84 air temp and 83 water temp! I’d kill for that right about now! Only about 7 more weeks till I’m hopefully in Rincon or some place else warm!

    T-10 and counting. Looks like we may get some chunks this week for a primer...

    Looking forward to trunking it. Can’t wait to surf my 6’4” Minami.

    Hoping you guys get to go somewhere warm this winter...

    I may have mentioned this once before on here...

    When I went on my boat trip to Indo, there was this Cali ripper (50ish and surfed really really well). He used a Velcro knee brace every session. He would reinforce with duct tape. It was habitual for him each session. You may want to consider...

    I have one of those, it's what I term a 'tennis knee brace' made by Wilson. We shall see...

    gracias mang

    Was wondering when you were jetting out. Thought it was sooner.
    Good work man

    I was originally gonna suggest getting a second opinion when you posted about your injury, but my post seemed kinda insulting because I assumed your original diagnosis was made by some Tico witch doctor that ran out of chicken bones and iguana ash. So I deleted it.

    anyways, glad to hear it's not as bad as originally feared

    Much appreciated. Yah, a lotta things make me appreciate the good ol' USA, particularly when an injury lands me in the medical wonderland of other nations.

    Ok, I’m getting surf trip envy, guys! I need to get out of here and surf some different waves for a change. It’s been too long, I’ve been watching YouTube videos to get the stoke and I can’t stand it! As soon as my money is right I’m booking a trip! I need to feel the power, the burning sun, the rum drinks, the Mofongo, the empanadillas! My wife wants to go back to Vegas, but not until we hit PR againe!
