    I used to bring my bike on the nj transit lines with no issues, surfboard should be fine. Driving drunk is bad news.

    Yo- to answer your question- well first off - stay OFF the DRINK! it never end good. its just not worth it.

    Second- Yes you can- in the past years I have taken surfboards and snowboards to the EWR airport from the beach, instead of paying for parking for a week. Although, that was years ago. i would put your board in a board bag tho- it will probably get dinged.

    if your really slick, you can bring your board and a bike, then you can bike to different spots.

    oh ya- did i mention? stay away from the drink

    Next to Georgia, SC has the worst waves on the entire east coast, and that's a fact.
    Anyone can travel...most don't choose to go to California either when they travel.

    I surf Folly and was actually getting excited about the report for the rest of the week and trying to make the decision of going to work early and getting in the afternoon or dawn session and working late.

    FBP seems lame but I gotta agree that NJ is lame too. People of NJ should revolt against any TV dollars coming into their state because the rest of the nation/world is really getting sick of you guys and your housewives, drunks MTV'ers, mediums and the next lowlife that comes out of the state.

    Are people from NJ proud of how the state is portrayed?

    DISCLAIMER: Your surf rocks compared to mine but I don't need a beach pass.

    Who cares!! I'm not from Jersey but drive up to surf there all the time and have been for at least 20 years. In all of those trips I've never once even thought about "how the state is portrayed" and I've never needed a beach pass...its not like i try to surf at noon on a crowded beach in the middle of the summer ! Do you guys that are actually from New Jersey really agonize over how your state is protrayed by MTV. Do you worry about what i think about your "housewives"? Have any of you ever actually bought a beach tag to surf? None of the people i know up there seem to give a sh!t about any of this stuff.

    im as mellow a fellow as they come. its called joking around cause its a surfing forum and its funny that people take this **** so seriously but drinking and driving is stupid so im glad he got caught. also i have family in socal and i go see them on the regular so thats why i choose to travel there. yes the waves in sc are ****ty even by east coast standards but id give up surfing before moving to new jersey i dont care how good it can get there

    am i proud of how the state is portrayed? no, not a chance. but i certainly won't argue against that perception if it keeps narrow-minded ****-tards out of the state b/c they think everyone is like what they see on tv. jersey surfers are a different breed...to some extent, we all have a chip on our shoulders & feel like we have something to prove. if you don't, you probably won't make as a surfer here; it's not for the faint-hearted.

    good. we don't want you here any way. you'd prob. cry at the thought of putting on a 5/4 & duckdiving a head-high set when the water's 37°.

    Serious answer:

    YES. You can stash a surfboard on the train.

    Many years ago my truck was stolen in Atlantic City and I rode the train to Philadelphia with boards.

    Got my truck back. (weed and sunglasses gone)

    It was my fault for stashing my keys in an obvious place in a town full of desperate people. lesson learned.

    Just like you know it's your fault for the situation you find yourself in.

    Best of luck!
