who here has been surfing this week?

+1 Thanks Peajay!

 

I try not to add anything that might derail in this thread, but I figured this would be one exception...

 

freakin looks like fun surf tomorrow...gotta work all dam day...may have too close up shop early. If not, stuck with leftovers for sunday.

 

I'm def. surfing in MD tomorrow. Looks perfect...SE swell, wnw wind, incoming tide. Gonna be some fun sized OC barrels.

sorry you have to work...i'm frothing a bit.

 

I'll be in OC tomorrow for the boat show. I'm going to hit it up in the morning, I text ya

 

Yep OC looking purty fun tomorrow.

 

What boat show...? thought that was in February...I think the commercial fishing trade show is this weekend...not sure tho.

 

Coop...I seriously hope you figured out a way to get wet today...OC was PUMPING. Shot this wave sequence before paddling out mid-morning.

 

Nice shots, Mitch. I got out this morning too, but we had nothing like that down here. Still was fun, though.

 

Still FREAKIN SITTIN HERE IN THE SHOP!...I figure, if I can get outta here before 4:15, I can get on it for 45 minutes...Iam now impatiently waiting...PISSED!

BTW, nice Pics

 

Dope pics Mitch.

Keep em coming

 

REALLY picked up in the afternoon here in nj. will post some pics soon

Mitch... sick!

FUNguy... yea brother. You know it...

 

Got out for an hour...fun, but probably nothing like earlier tho. Scraps tomorrow.

 

Anyone get out in moco- or even Belmar?

How was it? I totally missed- was installing new siding on my house... Saw the wave cam at 4 pm... Looks REALLY good- like it was lining up well

So- was ther Liners? Any sand reconne happening?

 

Man it was good today. The sand is really good. Making big faces all day left and right of the pipe.

 

Surf up in New England was fun today. Got some real racey ones. Had an interesting experience in the water tho. Was surfing a more mellow reef break cause my knee is still a little wonky and was sitting on the shoulder of the crowd scooping off a little left drainer that no one else was on. I got some bomb ones on the inside, and every other wave was holding open giving me some shampoos and eventually full on barrels. You really had to race it to beat that inside section, and sometimes even take off behind the peak and bottom turn into the pit.

I took off super deep on this one left, and watched this one guy who was on the inside of me drop in and totally burn me. I was at the inside section that was barreling most of the time and about to tuck in so i yelled "YOOO" really loud. The dude looked back and faded me, but the wave was mostly closing out anyway so I just considered it part of surfing a crowdedish regional classic spot infested by URI clowns and shrugged it off.

Upon reaching the lineup the guy paddled right next to me and we awkwardly made eye contact a few times, I gave him the "all good wave" and instead of returning it he started running his mouth. He used this real condescending and passive aggressive tone:

"So I gotta ask, what exactly did you think you were going to DO on that wave?"

I looked back at him kind of in disbelief I was trying to determine whether he was just a clueless kook or an arrogant one. He seemed to posses basic surf abilities so I concluded he was just being a passive aggressive idiot.

"Well I was gonna try to get barreled, you always got to try man. Ive been getting the best left handed barrels of my day on that section." I responded.

"yeah I guess" was his only response as he turned away.

I watched him blow the next three sets and then I beat the left section in question on my next wave right in front of him. On his last wave he got worked and had to take the whitewater in on his stomach.

I don't understand it tho, im not an aggro surfer and I give more waves then I get in many circumstances. Ive been surfing this spot for the past 10 years and havent encountered this level of passive agression ***** ass ****. It would be one thing to have this happen out west which seems to be the norm (in santa cruz people dont even look each other in the eyes anymore, just put the blinders on and go) but its new to me on the BEAST coast.

Oh well, kooks will be kooks I suppose, for every idiot. in the water theres many more cool ones.

sorry that was way longer then I anticipated. Rant done.

 

Nice! Man - I figured! Are you talking about the dirty old pipe?

 

Trev, I like your stylee dude.... Fighting fires ( I think that is what you do) and charge surf otherwise.

Two things stand out ( actually 3). You were super deep and the wave was mostly closing out. #3 you caught some really fun ones on a wonky knee and he went in on his belly! Chalk it up as a good day and carry on dude.
