Does anyone sometimes think New Jersey is overrated?

yea after dealing with jersey, delaware, marlyand, virginia bridge traffic. it would definitly take you upwards of 8 hours. its fine man, you keep talking **** about places you know nothing about. Stay in your traffic prone armpit of america state man and make sure your arm placement is right!

 

This weekend I will be surfing without a wetsuit. What now?! Come at me bro! Bench off time...

 

I actually agree with you about the coastline of New England. It has an amazing coastline with cliffs, reefs and points. The South doesn't even compare. Its your typical beachies there too.

 

glad i grew up surfing NE as a kid, and now i get to hid behind the heaviest lip on the east coast as a young adult down here. Better then sticking in one smelly secondhand barrel state and learning how to surf only one kind of beach break wave, plus a few others in the immediate pay-to-park vicinity ! Stay local man, it probably would be good for you

 

lol! that's pretty funny; i've been surfing in hatteras for over 20 years & have taken equivalently rough beatings at both nj & hatteras. the thing about nj is that it's COLD. sure, hatteras'll thump you good & pin you on the inside for 15min. nj'll do that & then flush your suit full of sub-40 water.

 

Keep surfing that mush and taking the drive to the outerbanks because your surf sucks. Wait, I'm sure the locals in the outer banks love all you people coming down. You are equilavent to the people from north NJ, NY and PA coming to our breaks, uninvited guests.

 

but the se does have many many uncrowded undeveloped barrier islands that are scattered like little secretes all along our coast. jersey doesn't have that kind of "beachie" Try camping by yourself on a barrier island where there is no people around for miles and you have a glassy peak all to yourself and your boys for a couple days, and tell me the south east sucks.

 

What do you know about NJ, lol? I've been to the places I've mentioned. Have you been to the shore communities in NJ and I'm not talking Seaside?

 

i mean considering i have multiple friends that live there, and ive been helping to repair a skatepark up there on my downtime, i think im more invited than you yanks!

 

yea buddy everyone on the north end of LBI, and monmouth county

 

I do love this about the south. A short boat ride and I can be on Capers, Bull, or Morris island. Good waves and no people. I should probably just agree that we have no waves and ****ty beaches to keep these places all to myself.

 

yea man south east and new england suck! jersey fires off everyday 23 footers on the reg. Noone come down here, its waaaay better up there.

 

LOL! Do you also wear white hoodies to your cross bonfires? No, because you have black friends too.

 

Watch the movie Darkfall. That should explain everything..

That is funny. Just look at the buoy history and just see where your great beaches stand. If surfing longboards on mushy surf is you idea of fun, then you are in the right place. Epic Longboard surf.

 

Locals from LBI are probably the most laid back surfers there are...bad example dude.

 

Fight Club?

 

Our local buoy is far off shore and often says 8ft, when we are only having knee high on shore. I don't consider them to be a great example of the true conditions. It all depends on the wind and swell direction, just like every beach in NJ.

 

In the end, who really cares what someone thinks of your break. If you surf and like your local breaks and beaches, that's great. If you don't, maybe you should move if possible. I have lived and surfed in NJ my whole life and I love it. If someone from Virginia or SC claims NJ surf stinks and NJ is the "Armpit of America," the best remedy is not to come here, simple as that.

 

What's wrong with surfing "mushy"(your average point break) surf on a longboard? It can actually be fun! I guess it's not "core" enough for the NJ shredders. lol
