    Surfside, Nantucket, and the wahines will be epic. You can thank me later bra! (As long as they don't get a direct hit Saturday). Be safe.

    Only because it knows your looking.

    The graph looks like we're getting a huge, pointy, Friday night zit, rather then a swell.

    Thanks to the braddahs who offered up thoughts and advice on where to charge as well as those that PMed me. Much appreciated.

    Headed back from Jerz since chest to shoulder waves in OBX with possible gnarl and certain double-digit hours in drive time would make for heavy investment and no better return than what I see in lower NE on Saturday. Would've charged NJ on Friday but I'd have had two nights to kill til then and WaWa only makes up for so much of that state's shortcomings.

    sidogg - ACK is so dope and you are right on. The only thing I'm held back by is the spike in swell that looks to quickly recede on Saturday. I need a steadier swell for the time and expense of getting to the island and back even if the on land entertainment is ripe for the picking.

    Looks like Rhodey first thing Saturday into the early afternoon then jetting back to EMass for the evening swell. This of course after charging southerly chop Thursday night then waist and clean all Friday. I was a 72-hour rock star last weekend so I could use the massive calorie burning.

    Side note: After a long winter's nap through the polar vortex, the wahines are out and about. Everywhere.

    Arty is a changeling. Having said that, gotta be in it to win it. As with all east coast storms.

    Heading out 0200 Fri with the crew for true DP on Fri, winds likely to pick up as day goes but who knows.
    Only Arty knows.
    Sit, wait, watch, clean up, wind slacks, jump up, git down, surf round.
    Saturday: more of the same.
    Sunday.....let the turistas swim in the Lake Atlantic again & take 7 hours to drive 150 miles home.
    We be long gone well before then.
    Just like Arty.

    spicoli, you're back from 'Bama, apparently a bit heavier, but just break out the log & you'll be ok until you drop the poundage from all that fried food inhalation. Keep us posted on those 8-footer cape dawgs, you know what I'm talkin' bout & maintain, francis, maintain.

    Bro I lost the Bama weight real fast after two hard weeks in the gym and on the surfskate. Holding a few extra again now after an endless weekend of legendary magnitude. If I've got to paddle out on an extra liter of foam due to sub-q water and undigested chicken steak in the colon, so be it. Never fried food bro, never.

    The 8-10' is hereby amended to 7-9' because there were a couple days in late May and early June that kicked up to that size for a few hours and I made those drops on the reg. "Seven, Nine" is straight up onomatopoeia for the wahines' ears anywayz bro. There's some lingual j'en sais quoi with those spoken numerals.

    As for the OH+ bro, I'm good on that for now. Feeling more the chest to shoulder so I can WAPHAHH like I do on the Carver, nahmeeeen? I just wanna feel freedom under my feet.

    Got a bit o' your New England poet-eminence in ya, spicoli, Ralph Waldo Surferson would be taking a bit o' pride in ya, buoy.

    The froth never ends, it draws us back agin & agin to the ocean's edge, where we enter said waters, and where (to pimp from HST) we are no longer at the top o' the food chain. Keeps a man humble and strivin' lest yee be cocky and take a hard tumble.

    You've done a far bit o' travlin yurself, son, north and to the deep sou', to the west & home agin; may the road rise up to meet ya & the wind.......aye, the wind, buoy.....may it be always offshore.

    Was HHI not decent last night? I was out until 7:30 here, and it was 4-5 ft. Fairly clean too. Unfortunately, since I haven't been out in anything decent for a year, I just wasn't pulling much off.
