New Jersey Superbank

Spicoli told me that Rincon barrels down the cove, brah.

Make It Stop has surfed El Capitan just like that.

Za Gaf ( not to associated with the previous members) gets nugs like that on trips north to Leo Carrillo. That's Leo Carillo. Secos Arroyo. I once took a class trip there. We were vals and we hiked to Leo Carrillo. Our trip coincided with a trip for a local mentally disabled hospital/home. One guy waved at us and smiled. His pen!s was visible, hanging out from his short shorts. This was the 80's and we wore short shorts. Girls wore short shorts. Nair wore short shorts

Little Ricky is the man. An astute observer. Bravo.

 

Sandy Hook is seven miles long. 99% of the guys who go there surf one spot. And it's a great spot. Another .9% surf within sight of that one spot. The other .1% surf the other 6.9 miles of the spit.

Sandy Hook will not be replenished with sand. It gets all the sand from the beaches being pumped to the south. Even the "critical zone" has a nice, wide beach... it's the bay side that's unstable and threatens the road.

They're currently planning to pump sand OFF the Hook... getting rid of the "false hook" near the recurved tip of the hook... that extra lobe of sand that came from miles south, that keeps adding on to the length of the spit. If left unpumped, Sandy Hook could keep getting longer.

I work there now. I'm there every day from 7am 'till dark, most days. It's a really amazing place...

 

Yeah Cep, I agree. I meant way worse crowd wise.

 

Crowds form there either way but showing the skyline of NY is sure to add to the idiot factor. Very un called for behavior from those involved in the production / editing of that vid. Waves were great. Surfing was great. Editors and decision makers on production of the vid are lame. May Sup'ers and spongers snake you and drop in on you for eternity.

 

as lame as blowing up local spots is, I don't think SH regulars and lovers have much to worry about. Places like these have built-in crowd control. I've never been there in the summer, so I can't speak to how crowded it can get, but when I have scored it there, it's been cold and throwing pretty hard. I'd say I was out with a dozen other people and there were plenty of waves - very kumbaya. but anyway, for people who don't live close to SH, it's not that easy to score it - it's fickle without the right amount of certain swell directions, can get super windy, isn't convenient to get to and if it isn't working, you're in the car for at least another 30 mins until the next spot that works. I'd also argue that on days like in the video, it's not the easiest spot to surf. Half of the waves are on the beach and it gets real square. plus, when it's working up there, a bunch of other spots are really good, too, just more like classic jersey barrels.

also, I have to thank the jersey photogs on instagram, not only for consistently awesome content, but for waiting for dark before posting photos and geotags.

 

Well... Looks like a normal day at BELMAR, NJ to me... (Sorry Ihatelongboards - I know how you feel about Belmar... It's my favorite break too...)

BJB!!!!!!! You're a persistent little bugger aren't you? You weren't kidding about being addicted to SI. Hanging out with 12 year old boys while trying to pass them off as your son isn't a good look for you.
Still blaming SI for your behavior? Interesting. You should honestly take my advice about checking yourself. I mean, you're not a puppet are you? BJB controls BJB's actions, reactions, and thoughts. Only BJB can prevent forest fires.
Anyway, welcome back to your next meltdown.

 

.....Say what?

 

+1 on that. Couldn't' have said it better myself.

 

Doug you make no sense, and I have no idea of what you speak.

Uhh, please explain how I blame SI for my "behavior."

First of all, I'm not upset at my behavior. I love my behavior. So why would I blame anybody for it?

Second, how or why would I specifically "blame" SI for what I say or do?

Dude, that makes no sense. It's either the ranting of a moron or a semi-disturbed individual with reality separation disorders.

How am I a puppet? Who is pulling the strings? Mr. Swellinfo Guy? But how come I keep getting "punished" if I am a puppet. Please, Doug I need to know who my master is. I wasn't aware I had one (right MIS it's the government).

Dude, at least base your attempted insults in reality. Doug, who is my puppet master? I'm getting worried that I have no control over myself. I'd love to hear this answer. Dude, I'm the most non-conformist on here besides Trevolution.

Doug, where do you come up with these completely delusional insinuations?

I've never melt down on here, Doug. You have. I just fight and argue with the dumb. Actually, from last April I never tangled with anyone until that other confused dude, MIS, came along.

And really dude, how old are you? Most of your insults take me back to the school yard when I was in fourth grade. Yeah dude, "BJB." That's awesome!! It's so Adam Sandler-ish.

And remember, I'm just a short drive down Rt 9.

 

Right on, Sandblaster.

You are right, Doug does report people.

 

Welcome Heywood! EHC is the pearl of South Jerz, glad you made it out of the hammomexicana.

 

Thanks Mr. Sniffer.

EHC is awesome. I live in the projects on Washington Avenue, just off of Rt. 30. I ignore the NO LOITERING signs.

I still kick it in Hammonton. Every Friday night I hang out in front of The Horizon Grocery on Railroad Rd with dudes whose license plates read: Texas, Florida, Michigan, etc.

Yep, life is good.

 

You want me to make you a BJB book report with incense?
Okay, but first, I want you to make me a list.

 

it's no different than a photog blowin up a lesser surfed spot on social media. Spots that are "secret" aren't a secret, but special none the less. We all know of "over there", "across the inlet", "giddy up island", and so on. We've all surfed these spots, we've all told someone about them, and we've all bi*tched and moaned about it. Certain places only break on certain conditions. If you actually look and take a gamble it would probably be worth it. It's weird at the amount of people that don't look around. There's nothin wrong with paddling out at obvious spots but why surf with a crowd. You won't know if you don't look.

 

Doug, as usual that last reply of yours just doesn't make any sense. I'm baffled as to its meaning Doug, just forget about me ok. Thanks brah.

LISTEN UP: You guys who complain about crowds are typically part of the problem.

If you don't want crowds then:

Don't wear surf clothes. Don't support surf companies except for boards and wetsuits.
Don't go on surfing sites on the internet. Don't post videos. Don't post about how good yesterday was.
Don't put surf stickers on your car window
Be bad. Make your neighbors retract back to the old surfer stereotype of an anti-society hooligan.
Hate the pros.
Hate the photographers
Hate the video guys
Hate anyone who wants exposure. Swallow the human instinct to brag. Be happy that you got it at such and such a spot, and keep quiet.

Really, if you have crowd problems in Jersey in January, you might be a bit dim.

No, you probably don't deserve access to the best waves on the coast on significant days. Sometimes you just have to accept your place. No, novice deserves those waves at Sandy H the other Sunday. Swallow your pride and go somewhere else.

I've been surfing this one spot for years. Sometimes this one peak will turn on during the warmer months. It is congested with dudes who were born and bred there. Most don't even surf during the winter.

But I don't paddle out to that peak, even though I probably surf there more than anyone these days.

For one thang a crowd is never worth it in shifty, peaky beach break New Jersey. And secondly, that peak is their birthright. Like it or not, it should be theirs. Hey life ain't fair. But showing respect and knowing your boundaries goes a long way to maintaining order and sanity. You ain't entitled to everything. If you want that right, it takes time and dedication. You got to earn that stuff.

There's no respect left in this game anymore.

 

How can people "blow up spots" in NJ? The state is overcrowded, and most of your beachfront is developed. The parts that aren't developed are still well known. There are no hidden secrets, now that we have google maps. If you live in NJ, you probably know of many spots already. Another funny point, every time someone like doug engages a person posting about specific spots, the thread gets bumped up. If you want to make it go away, just stop posting.

 

Beer engineer, first of all I'd like to get hypnotized like Peter Gibbons. F'ing A

But spots can get blown up in Jersey. Some spots die and people forget aboot them. Then they come back to life and only a few are in-the-know.

I benefited from that many moons ago. Oh sure, the Toilet Bowl died a bit and the hype shifted down to the southern end. "Rolyjoke" they all proclaimed.

So many forgot aboot that place to the north.

And it was good. The main action shifted a jetty or two north, and it was good. Of course other county names had it's moments too. But besides summer, it was so good and nice. Oh, so nice. Yeah, it was nice.

Of course back then only varmits and miscreants surfed........

Brew, I'm still waiting for pictures of the inside of your house. I loved your garage.

Ahh but what force is greater?

Letting it fade away.....?

or

Adding your two cents.....? Or in my case five cents.

 

I am in the process of buying a house. I will be sure to send you pictures.
