you know summers coming when

amen
except for the 2nd one. Couldn't quite get it

 

true, but it also comes with...

-warm empty dawn patrol sessions before work
-no more stinky wet gloves and boots to slide into
-closer to fall and hurricane season

...gotta stay positive

 

you forgot that you have to be at the beach before 10am to get decent parking

 

stay in shape and out paddle the weekenders = more waves for you

 

You know its summer when:

people start making stupid threads about summer coming and asking stupid summer questions regarding which wax to use, wetsuit to wear, how good its going to be, beach tag questions, ridiculous surfboard questions, travel questions due to lack of swell (Mid July), Worst spring in years, etc...

Pa plates drive slow in the left lane and new york plates throw ALL their garbage out the windows of their cars on the parkway

and the last thing i can think of.. they change the speed limit on ocean road in spring lake, belmar & avon from 35 to 25mph.

o and special I police officers (Bike Cops) YAYYyyyy

 

- new yorkers and mainliners from philly driving around in beamers (even some bentlys) who think they are the most important person in the world. (hot mommies though)
-People asking me questions on how the curls were after going for a surf
-getting hit my a 10ft bic board
-having to pull out of the wave of the day because a kook is in the way and freezes out of fright
-being stoked when you find a parking spot
-being stoked when its ridable and surfing the knee high wave till dark
-"The Weekend" threads talking about if they should come down when the forecast says ankle high of less
-girls.
-there all *****es though
-everything gets expensive
-25minute wait for a hoagie at wawa
-free hoagie and drink at wawa because so many people are packed in the place it doesnt matter
-parties
-riding the beach cruiser all sprayed painted out fixed with duct tape
-getting beach cruiser stolen
-finding it at a party and take it back
-hurricane season
-warmth
-bay floats
-overtime at the shop
-a cold beer after overtime at the shop. stoked

-bike cops in general
-wait, police in general in the summer
-never leaving the island on months at a time (sometimes)

South Jersey summers. did i miss anything?

 

Having the lifegaurds call the cops to give you a ticket for surfing too close to swimmers

 

I chuckled when reading through those

You get to check out the ladies tanning after a session. Then fall into a hole dug by kids the day prior, hoping they didn't just see that.

 

- Jet skiers and boaters making wakes just as the set rolls through to mess up your wave
- Occasionally jet skiers and boaters make wakes that line up perfectly with that little knee high wave to give you something more in the thigh high range with a little punch to it
- A lot more water craft in the water
- A dozen people practically standing on the jetty rocks in order to get a wave
- No more wetsuit hood face tan

 

Amen on the f*cking NY'ers! Oh god they haunt my dreams of summer. I love treating them like second class citizens though. The more unwanted they feel, the happier I feel.

 

THE BAD:
Cant forget about surfing restrictions. One of the only 2 piers in vb is closed to surfers between 10am-6pm. Total BS>>>
All of your rejects from jersey come down here and stink things up, all fat and Italian and such... coming down to eat a 6 pound lunch, get trashed on the beach, and heckle your girlfriend even though they never had a chance. D-bags who wear tapout apparel and bedazzled jorts are going to swarm the boardwalk. Back roads become a necessity as everyone with a set of rims and some subwoofers is going to clog up the beach road. Months on end without swell, noobs ereywhere!, the SUP epidemic, gee a mess... maybe ill move inland for the summer...

THE GOOD:

Young bikini babes
Rich north end moms that ordered their swimsuits from some trashy french lingerie store.
Gee, thats about it

 

Lee, the more that head your way the better!

 

Last summer I had a lifeguard tell me I couldn't BODYSURF with swimfins at a "bathing" beach. Literally whistled out of the water....

F me...

 

should have made him come in the water and physically extract you

 

when u see people out in spring suits with gloves n booties on! or barebacking it when the water is still in the 40s! like last week for instantice

 

you know it;s summer when all the masquitos are coming out

 

-when you run out of fingers to count the number of cameltoes you saw that day!

 

When the 15-year old lifeguard decides to be tough and whistles at you tantrum-style for coming within 500 yards of those precious flags while his buddy uses the paddleboard anywhere he wants.

Those idiots that feed the seagulls.....too bad they don't use some alka-seltzer.
