who here has been surfing this week?

Have to second the Guy from Delaware's experience in re the MD fucast.

Figured, I'll roll out to TPTSNBN & see if Thursday afternoon / evening brings a few chips. Uh, no. Onshore, hard onshore. Decent size, good energy, just wind destroying it. Caught a few but man it was hard work.

Didn't stay out long. Did do the seafood platter feast at a local spot washed down with copious brews.
Campfire was so good. More suds.
Wind rotated, hard west, brought 2 hours of rain at midnight. I waterproofed tent last autumn so it was pretty excellent being dry & looking forward to morning surf.

This morning. Looked great from afar, was far from great. Even several hours after HT, it wasn't very good. SE swell appeared groomed. Wasn't. W wind (offshore) was pumping 15-20+ knots & that just wasn't helpful.

Eh, gave up after 3+ hours & a few rides. Brekky @ The Pony. Cruised the 165 miles back home. There will be better days. Still had lots of laughs, all good @ TPTSNBN.

 

Yank -
The wind really beat it down this morning, we were @ 15th street watching this weekend OC air show practice, so kool. Did you see or hear them flying? A P-51 showed up solo, wicked plane, dropped down few hundred feet off the ocean fly overs. Watching the P-51 aerial maneuvers you soon see why the WWII P-51 drivers loved the plane so much ............

 

G-Man, could hear the planes practicing in OC. Saw a yuge C130 go booming over Assawoman Bay & South Point - - so amazing. Hoping to see a few fighters zoom & boom our way, but not to be.

We are on the same page - love me some gorgeous lines on that powerful Mustang - - when I lived in Malibu, an LA owner of a sharp P-51 used to take his Packard Merlin powered gal up the coast & buzz the beaches. Friggin awesome - - and nobody complained!

 

So good this morning... chest to head high sets with offshore wind. Every wave a little barrel. At one point... after a really sick one... I said to myself... out loud... "this is CRAZY!" Surfed myself into euphoric exhaustion. Total noodlemind... and body.

Days like this don't happen often for me.

Hope a few other swellies got the goods...

 

“These are the days...”

 

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. "Anyone can be a father, but it takes a man to be a dad."

I made it to the beach several times last week. Never saw any epic conditions, but there were a couple fun days. On Thursday I got some sick shots of my buddies and John Oppito who shapes the local Rozbern bortes. Dude absolutely rips. See figures A, B and C below.

 

Also, I just published my weekly edit, "Small Spring Daze", on the Tube. Watch in 4k on Chrome or Firefox. Conditions weren't epic, but it was fun putting it together.



P.s. Next week I'm probably gonna put out a raw footage edit with some waves that have some bump.... Stay tuned.

 

Nice Kanman.

 

Damn near perfect sesh this AM. Don't know what's going on with this site but forecast was waaaay off. Which i already knew, if i relied on this site i wouldn't of been surfing. Anywho, it was stomach to chest with a shoulder to head high pulse every now and then. Mid tide. Light offshores. A little bit of a wonk or disorganization, but only slightly. Enough to keep it from being "picture perfect" but still perfect.

Sweet little high and tight barrel right off the take off, nice paced wall which allowed for some aggressive turns then a softer shoulder for a big cutback.

Im dealing with a bit of a injury so i was selective and didn't go on everything. But i caught my fair share then called it to head to work.

Beautiful morning, beautiful waves, great start to the week

 

Got out early Saturday morning. It was clean, but small -- thigh and occasional waist high plus set wave. Once a little water came in, it provided lengthy lefts and rights. Initially, just a few peeps out, but eventually had about 10 on two "peaks". Caught my last wave after a bit of a lull in the action (swell was waning, tide filling in), but it was a nice left, a liner, that took me all the way in to step off onto the sand. Good finish to a fun sesh.

Post sesh pic.

 

Friday was dope - surfed 6 hours or so. Consistent chest walls with a few barrel opportunities all day. Yesterday had some windows for the logs that were fun too. Heard this am was fun but didn't make it out. Hope to get some logable waves in the pm

 

Got a cool tee shirt at the pow wow I was at on Saturday. It has a picture of Geronimo on it with a caption that says: "The Original Homeland Security, Fighting Terrorism since 1492"

 

Got out friday afternoon in some 4-7' somewhat inconsistent on sets, got a few rides but my last wave in was the tits. OH drop into nice wall than power through a couple of suckup reforms to rebound off the oncoming section, whole thing went about 100 yds. ended up basically on the beach rocks and the rest of the 6 wave set washed me in. Sunday morning went out and size and dropped considerably, like 2-4' maayyybe some rare +, still got several fun rides and relaxing surf in.

 

Got some weak knee high LB waves yesterday for a couple hours.

 

Yesterday afternoon was glassy 2-3ft LB perfection

 

Hope to get out later in the week, but sheets looking a little grey now

 

Excellent PJ...

 

Same here, brother... Got a few little sliders on the log yesterday afternoon. Super glassy conditions, too.
