...surf any swell again, which one would it be? Mine is Hurricane Bill 2009. Super long lines from the outside all the way to the beach!
i agree 100%. somehow, in my days of surfing from fl to ny, this one really stood out. montauk was going off and all around just super fun loooonng rides like a dream….maybe it was just that point in my personal surfabage, but i always refer back to Bill when telling people of quality east coast surf. even aside from the surfing, that whole few days was a dream... so maybe it was just that time, but maybe it was the energy of the legendary Bill.
I can't recall her name. Incredible body, long wild hair, shaved beaver, toned bod & natural, all natural great rack with incredibly responsive headlights, took me in like she needed every ounce of fluid in my body. Again & again & again. You guys keep talkin' about doods. Oh you're talkin' waves.
Funny stuff from our HOTY Title Holder. Maybe double crown this year, HOTY & COTY (Comedian of the Year)? And yes 2009 Bill for me as well.
A long time surfing, many decades, but even I would have to say the best, biggest, and most perfect surf I have ever ridden on the east coast was hurricane Bill. I surfed Sunday morning of that swell, it was high tide but damn when a set rolled in it was rippable perfection, overhead and rolling all the way to the beach.
True, true, Coulda done that one. Another one for me is Hurricane Andrea in RI, June 8th, 2013. Best swell I've ever seen at PJ. It looked like an 8-10 ft. (not Mav's scale or whatever 8 ft. is at Mav's I'm guessing like 15 or some sh!t) Mavericks.
Heres a vid from a place I don't have to name but the vid shows too much of the area. Sorry for the shaky camera. [video=youtube;jgS4-qfgpCA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgS4-qfgpCA&list=UUIEkElSiR57UU9OKpj2xbTg[/video] Watch in HD
No, 8-10 foot was Point Judith which is the most exposed break in RI. This place is a little more sheltered.
I drove up from Delaware for that swell and surfed PJ and nearby all afternoon. Fun long waves, some really long ones that were so damn long I eventually started debating (while still doing cutbacks) whether it was worth it to keep going because the paddle back out to the peak was going to be so long. It was super mushy the entire length of the wave, the size was impressive...probably 5-8 foot faces. Would have been a BLAST on a longboard. On a 5'10" Chemistry disk it was kind of tough to get the glide needed.
That video is a long way up inside the bay from PJ. This is an idea what it was like that afternoon in RI during Andrea. Fun but not big or heavy at all.
