Went surfing here in Va Bch today... the jellies made me leave. I went down to the Dam Neck base and it was BEAUTIFUL.... but the jellies made me leave again... I am thinking about going out tomorrow in my full wetsuit. Anyone else have any ideas to combat the jellies?
It was so bad... I had my rashguard on, but it has short sleeves... I could get one with long sleeves, but I would still have to worry about my legs.... I think surfing with pants on would look kinda silly, too. I know it is kinda warm for a full wetsuit, but I think i would rather be a little too warm than being stung every few minutes. It sucked because this hot girl surfer came out and was surfing right next to me and we started talking, but she had to leave because she couldn't stand the jellies
Well, first I'm married... so the drinks thing could come back to bite me... I can't go in early cause I gotta work So I guess I'll be out there in my full suit.... shouldn't be too bad, the water's 74 or so. I think I might be the only person out there in a wetsuit, but I'll be the only person not getting stung. Anyone know how long we can expect this jelly infestation to last?
you should have seen the jellies we had in wb a couple weeks ago. massive cabbage heads, so many too. I counted over twenty just around where I was sitting one session. but I geuss thats summer for ya
when i was in OBX last week, rodanthe had some insanely large jellies floating around...crystal clear water, and you could see them like 5 ft below you; pretty creepy
yeah i was in obx and this was the first week of june and they were all over... thankfully ( i guess ) no swell to miss at that time
it was probly about two weeks ago when i saw the biggest f***er ive ever seen in my life in ocmd. it kinda look like a man o war cuz it had a couple of colors and a huge top thing. luckily the water was clear because as soon as i saw it i left. but that thing looked like it would hurt like a ***** to get stung by
I love all things, too... but it's love/hate when it comes to jellyfish. On another note... has anyone ever tried frying one up?
Are you talking about "red" jellies?......Cause the clear ones do nothing. There only good to toss at your friends in the water. Haha i saw a guy eating them...biting them in half with his teeth once. But, if there "red" stay away...I still have a scar on my arm from a "red" jelly. Sometimes you just need to tough it out with a long sleeve power top. I haven't seen any "red" one's up this way yet. But, seen some clear ones floating around in the inlet.
Jellies Luckily, we haven't seen any red jellies either at our boarding spots, BUT I saw loads of them washed up on shore in Laurence Harbour when I was walking my lab 2 weeks ago...I've never seen so many
Ewwwww. This past weekend there were about 4 zillion baby jellies on the shore and I was like oh no - it's going to be one of those types of years. Darn jellies. There is some type of repellant stuff you can wear, but the sting of da jelly is an occupational hazard.
