Seems like Mid Atlantic forum is dominated by Jersey on here. Why not separate it better? VB down should be Southeast, then FL or put VB and OBX in their own section. No one from VB goes north on day trips except for certain hurricane swells maybe. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel is too expensive for starters and the next surfspot is Assateague Island (unless you go by boat) which is a long way to go. People from up north would just bypass VB and go straight to Hatteras, but that is a long trip for them too. Just seems that the Mid Atlantic area isn't really cohesive enough geographically to all be lumped together.
Yes, Jersey is dominating. And you can separate the forums. That may be a good thing. But we Jerseyans will simply find some other aspect of your life to dominate. Resistance is futile in the face of great power that is Jersey.
we currently have the perfect balance of guido and hick with this thing stretching from Jersey to NC. It's almost like a social experiment.
the forums were ok, then all about 2 years ago, the reading skills of many in NJ finally reached the national average of 8th grade. Soon after they/those in NJ discovered SwellInfo.com. From that point on the forums have been in a slow decline. I telling you there is something to that, Mason/Dixon Line...
Actually, kind sir, only the nerdlets in Massachusetts and Vermont score higher than our Jersey pups on standardized reading tests. Fuacatah! The domination continues! http://www.thedailybeast.com/galleries/2011/01/21/america-s-smartest-kids.html#slide3
Why do you want to break up with me? Is it because I’m a guerilla Guido that wears gold chains over my wetsuit? Who do you think you are? You’re muff cabbage. Don’t make me meet you in Camden.

Just because your a man hating brut with broad shoulders doesn't mean you have to pretend to not want a sexy jersey boy...
It goes on down to SC. I'm sure there are also some GA folks that lurk on here, but they get waves so infrequently that they only know how to "surf," not surf. btw, Jersey has enough hick to rival any of our Southern brothers.
"Just seems that the Mid Atlantic area isn't really cohesive enough geographically to all be lumped together. " You have just described the geographic concept of Adjaceny quite well . Just because areas are adjacent does mean they share common interests or activities & in this case a forum. Could not agree more with the idea to break it up.
