    Do you guys think I'm gonna get hepatitis or something?

    Also, what tides work at this spot? I'm pretty sure low tide doesn't, maybe mid and high are good?

    Also sorry for blowing up a spot by name... if this was anyone's top-secret highly-polluted a-few-hundred-yards-from-the-second-largest-sewage-treatment-plant-in-the-US spot, I sincerely apologize.

    Hepatitis? No. Cholera, TB, West Nile, Mad Cow, Syphilis, and Hysterical Pregnancy? Probably.

    Bro, I was at a river mouth today post-rain and not only did the drink taste like dip spit laced with battery acid and bark mulch, the 5 second period ruined what were otherwise ideal conditions in every damn way. Definitely headed out for the evening sesh for redemption.

    You blow up the Winthrop WCT break all you want bro. The only cats charging that break are those seeking to look like Doug's former avatar after emerging from the water. Forget Winthrop Jetty son, you'd have got more stoked with less toxicity by grinding curbs on Landsdowne St on a popsicle stick skate then siphoning urinal waste through a straw at Fenway.

    Its gotta be big to warrant surfing at Winthrop. I got a good session in at the north at the far end of the beach. Theyve been doing some breakwater/rock adjusting recently so everything is shifting around. Pretty cool (gross) surfing next to the city.

    Maybe going again Saturday... I did smell really funny getting out of the water last time and I am recovering from a skin surgery so maybe this isn't the best idea though

    Bro, is this a serious post?

    Saturday looks to be macking and clean anywhere within 60-100mi of Winny. It ain't like it's your only choice bro.

    Did you get on that surprise 5ft swell with 11s period all afternoon today. I was a bit late to the party since I planned on charging when buddy got out of work and didn't check the break any earlier but it was picture perfect round here today til the eve. Haven't seen it that pure since hmmm...this time last year. Why you bros think I called the spring of stoke again?

    Doing this again after work today... this spot is so gross. But, after-work traffic to anywhere else from Waltham is pretty horrendous... even just going to Winthrop is pretty bad

    Bro you'll come out with an extra ear and maybe a legit tail off your lower back but you'll score decent surf at least with the 11-12s period. It's solid everywhere around here today and if the Blue Line is what you gotta charge based on logistics then make the best of it and hope you score good. Just get to a clinic stat afterwards and deal with the mutations.

    I'm hitting Rye in about 2 hours. Wish I could have scooted our earlier.

    Good and when you pass the aqueous parking lot/coffee shop that T** W*** is, give them a couple toots of the horn. Go to the beach break we talked about and it should be clean lines for you. No sense dealing with points or reefs at this stage, but perhaps soon. That break should be repetitive and predictably consistent enough with this period and wind we have tonight. Just got back in from my sesh. Hope you get stoked bro.

    Bro. Laugh much? It was a complete joke and satire on the perpetual overpopulation of an underperforming break. There must've been 128+ peeps there yesterday and today each. Wasn't near there so others can verify that. Also, was throwing a jab at the forumites that do blow up spots blatantly here at times. Anywayz brooo I'll see you at *h* *a** at high tide tomorrow.

    Oh man had a great session at Winthrop. There was a flat spell right when I arrived so I thought I was skunked, but I suited up anyways figuring I'd at least get wet and swim around a little, then ended up catching a ton of decent rides on the occasional (super weak) waist-high set that came through... I even caught a wave "drop back" style (a new style I am inventing where you bodyboard waves on your back instead of your belly).


    Well, inventing may be a strong word for it since I'm pretty sure the Hawaiians have already done everything possible while riding a wave (including like, BBQing a steak and making love)

    I suggest Q-tips with hydrogen peroxide on them, a lengthy shower with scalding hot water. Be sure to clean between the toes and every other nook and cranny.

    Every now and then the CHesapeake Bay will go off. courtesy of all those northern factories as well as those further up the river in VA, a lot of nastiness will get in there. A lot of guys have gotten sick surfing the bay. Clean the wetsuit with the wetsuit shampoo while you are at it.

    How would you like to get MRSA? Don't F with it dude.

    Do they have showers there? If not, bring some hot, soapy water with you for a pre-cleaning.

    Earplugs are a good idea too...

    I love to surf and I hate infections. Hope this helps.

    Hey all,

    Epictetus met up with me yesterday, wanted me to let you know he's feeling okay and that he should be okay. He even had me take a few pictures just to show you how well he's doing

    Oh man was thinking about Winthrop right now.. the only problem(s) are :

    * It is still raining (water way dirtier than normal due to runoff etc)

    * It is low tide

    * Forecast is ****ty / onshore winds / blown out windswell type thing

    * I left my wetsuit at home

    Other than that Winthrop right now seems like a great idea.
