2 questions. first, tomorrow looks like it could be a decent fun day, i havent been to the shore since sandy and the cameras im seeing of my regular spots havent looked so good could you let me know how the breaks been at belmar, avon, and squan.. and second i know in the mid atlantic you can never be sure of a swell longer than 48hrs, but looking at the LOLA charts it seems something can be headed our way for sun/mon, but the surf forecast is showing flatness id like to hear some of your opinions..
No one is gona tell you how the breaks are lol. If they do it is probably wrong information. The crowds have returned, full of people who haven't surfed since before it got cold and no one wants people like that around. This question has come up many times and no one has received any answers. Everything has changed. Go check it out.
Why does he have to stay home? This "local" attitude here in Jersey is really pissing me off. People here have an attitude I have never experienced surfing in any other part of the world and I've surfed all over. And the irony is that NJ waves are nothing to write home about. Sure it gets good here and I would rank it among the top on the east coast but honestly the attitude and sense of entitlement "locals" have is embarrassing to me as a NJ surfer. I just got back from CA and surfed a whole slew of breaks with "locals" and they were friendly to me. But I get back here, head to an undisclosed break in Monmouth County, and immediatly I am harrassed by some "local" before I even throw my wetsuit on. For what? Because he doesn't personally know me? Give me a break jerkoff. No one owns the friggin ocean. I surf year 'round. FYI - just because I don't live in a beach town doesn't mean I haven't been surfing these breaks since I was a kid. I'm sick of "locals" starting fights. Local surfers starting fights is on par with jersey shore guidos starting fights outside DJs. It is counterproductive.
Maybe he's like a 13 or 14 year old kid and doesn't have a drivers license and his parents are working and can't drive him to the beach. I was in that situation when I was a kid. Or, yes, maybe he's a goober. But you shouldn't make that assumption.
You are defending someone who obviously abandoned the Jersey Coast after Sandy? Really? So basically you are saying it's cool for someone to use the resources but do nothing to help with recovery only to come back after the dust has settled? Seriously? Then have either the dearth of intellect or the balls to ask people to check "your" spots for you? Hell, I've never surfed in Jersey and never plan to but I ponied up to help them out. AND I STILL WOULDN'T EXPECT A MODICUM OF RESPECT IF I PADDLED OUT. (NOYA) Take, take, take, me, me, me..... TOTAL GOOBER KOOOOOOOK!
Yeah I agree with you on all that. I'm just saying the guy has the right to do what he pleases. And you should be mature enough to respect how other people live their lives. You're jumping to too many conclusions about the guy. Who knows what his story is. That's why the first thing I asked him was "why" he hasn't been to the shore since Sandy. Maybe he lives an hour away like I do and his car broke down all winter. Who knows. And for all you know he could have donated more than you to Sandy relief. You are jumping the gun on assumptions man.
Ya well it was just a question if u wana know my life story im 20 years old who pays a morgage a car bill and every othe expense that comes with it so i dont have spare money to buy a winter suit i barley have money to get to the shore i also live an hour away l... It must be easy to pass judgement when your parents soupported you till you were 30 ... And i did as much as i can to help the shore after sandy. My dad lost his home .. I just came here asking simple questions grow up
Sorry to hear that, don't worry about the guys bustin your balls, but you really should figure out a way to get a winter suit, surely you could scrape together $100-$150 and get something, even if it's slightly used. You don't have to get the top of the line suit, just get something that gets you out there. Even if it means cutting of the cable bill for a couple months. Nothing good on TV other than sports anyways
As to the hostile incident with a local at an undisclosed break in Monmout County.......... First, why didn't you name the spot? That seems to contradict your whole message. Anyways, Jersey locals aren't scary. Well, not surfer dudes. Newark locals are scary and of course top of the food chain Camden locals are scary, but Skippy up in Belmar isn't scary. Any Jersey beach local who just read about Silver Strand in some mag and tries to throw out some vibe is all bark and no bite. And the older guys probably have a WHOLE LOT to lose(job, family, house, etc) and the younger ones would get grounded by mummsy if the proper authorities found out. Actually, surfers gotta realize that they ain't bad, and get off the EL BURRO MAS MACHO gimmick.
I hear what you’re saying, and I agree for the most part, but seriously, you never know who you are dealing with. You might take one look at a guy and think he aint sh*t but come to find out he's a black belt in some martial art or trains boxing in his spare time, you never know. Take a look at a lot of MMA fighters out there, many of them you wouldn't know they are a professional fighter if you ran into them on the streets, might think you can punk him for w/e reason, and then next thing you know you’re on your face with an arm twisted up behind your neck and screaming uncle.... never under-estimate someone.
Johnnykans don't take no mind to these dudes on here. You just axed the wrong question on this site. See dudes on here are hard core shred locals and are anal aboot protecting their closed-out jetty peak. So that's a NO-NO here, axing about what spots are good and stuff. Don't ax because they ain't gonna tell. I'm 41 and my parents will always support me. We all wouldn't have it any other way. I need to free up my time to post on internet forums, especially surf predicting website forums. See if you would have axed aboot SOuth Jersey spots I would have throwed you a bone. But I don't do North Jersey stuff. See guys how mean North Jersey people are. OMG, we should just get rid of the place.......and NYC get rid of that place, too. Then Philly and South Jersey can take their rightful spot as ruler of the nation. Drugs, Johhnykans......drugs. Sell drugs. But get in quick, make some money and get out quick. You'll have three 5 mils and a 4 mil and the most *****en 3 mil..........and boards and skanky chicks with father issues hanging around you. Aww man, it's awesome.
Oh yeah you never know aboot people.....absolutely. But in general Jersey shred hounds are white, suburban, middle class and aren't the types to be training in any form of combat. They are usually family types or burnouts(and that's not an insult). Plus I have learned much from the most important martial arts film, The Karate Kid - NO not the Will Smith's kid version one....you gotta be kidding me. Mr. Myagi(whatever his name was) taught all true Bruce Lee's that ka-ra-tay is learned to avoid fighting and should only be used in self defense. Ha Ha man that movie sure punked North Jersey........Some kid from Newark or Jersey City...whatever, goes to Southern California and gets beat up by a bunch of pretty boys with blond hair on motorcycles.........on motorcycles. Ha the shame North Jersey must have felt.
A true, well trained martial artist, whatever the discipline, will posses the self confidence that will enable him or her to laugh at whoever is talking shyte...hopefully...lots of shred machine type d-bag guidos training mma now though unfortunately, they gotta get ready for those rowdy nights at the club...irks me to no end when i see tap out stickers on some d-bag car.
