    In true SI forum fashion, what started as a harmless surf trip post quickly degenerated into a jizz fest. Wait. Who am I kidding? That's what we live for.

    Aggro until someone bigger invades the bubble? That's just weak... Defend your turf from kids and little men, but a big dude can roll right over you? Badass

    Yeah, not challenging 6'8" bodybuilders is common sense. Am I gonna run my mouth in SoCal either, probably not--- common sense.

    funny im not being bashed for dissing jersey.jerseys great,been literally everywhere in the state,just getting tired of it and want to move to a more secluded area where I don't have to deal with nosey neighbors and traffic and everything else.we do get epic waves in the winter time.iv been up northwest nj to the mountains,iv been to the Delaware water gap,which is beautiful,been down southwest where its all barns and fields.thats my ideal place,somewhere near the woods and close to the beach

    iv always wanted to surf a spot that u literally walk through the woods to get to.no parking,nobody else out,just remote jungle followed by water.maybe its because I been watchin the legend of mick dodge and he seems like a cool dude.he walks through the forest and goes in the cold azz water they have there lol.

    where im living at now,im close to the water but far from land(woods).iv spent my childhood in the woods doing crazy mcgyver shyt,building forts and treehouses,choppin trees down to make them with,nice bond fires,shooting bootles,hunting,fresh water fishing.i lived near some crazy lake in the middle of the woods,maybe its a river idk,but id take a raft out there and ur floating down stream surrounded by trees,mother nature is beautiful.now I live in suburban redneckville.I had a buddy that used to go up to Vermont,said it was awesome.shyt Pennsylvania is awesome too,but too far from the ocean.just trying to find an inbetween place I can fit both worlds into

    Damnit people, what's a dude currently covered in two inches of ice got to do to get a good East Coast travel story around here?

    Aggro, your story is great... Please carry on. Don't let people troll you so easily.

    Day 4: Ahem, where was I........ Today was a flop. I got up around 7:30 and trolled SI, drove around town and did some errands, and checked some of the beaches. Took some decent burst pics of waves but was more or less figuring out my camera. The waves weren't clean enough to be great shots, but I'll upload em and post a few if they turn out to be good. In the early AM it was about 2-3' but choppy and senseless, with aggressive wind and a visibly strong current. I went back to the pad and waited for the ol' lady to wake up.

    Around 12 the Mrs. and I went to the general store to get coffee and check out the beach, and the wind had died down some. The size never picked up considerably. There were semi-organized, dare I say, sets, rolling in at 2-5'. We went back to the pad, I did some SI arguing, and then we eagerly suited up and drove back to the beach about 30 minutes after we'd been there last AND... the wind was back and it was a disorganized senseless mess. We made our way out regardless because its better to have surfed and lost than to never have surfed at all. There were occasional hollow sections but it was really unpredictable slop. I could see the seas HEAVING in the distance but by the time it made its way to the beach it garbage.

    Then the Mrs. pointed outside and said "Is that a duck?" I looked and eventually saw something in the water---"There's no way a duck would sit on water that choppy and not fly away." New game: "DUCK OR SHARK?" We went inside a bit and looked at it and it was definitely not a duck. We suspected it was a fin of some kind. I almost wondered if it was driftwood. I couldn't tell if it was surfacing and going under, or if it was disappearing from my sight as it moved onto the backside of each wave. I suspect it was the former, because at one point we agreed that there appeared to be two of "it". Whatever it was lingered in almost the same spot, or so it appeared from a distance, surfacing and going under. Do sharks linger? Either way, we were out of the water and back at the house within an hour. I might check the beach in an hour and see if the wind calms down. Otherwise, its a day on the couch watching palm trees in the rain . Could be worse.

    Cepriano, it sounds like Maine or New Hampshire is the place for you. NH you can scoop up cheap property within an hour of the rugged mountains or the ocean. The coast is gentrified, but if you go two towns inland its pretty rural.

    Maybe Agrro is Chucky Boo's twin. Remember he told us he built that fish for his twin brother.

    uesday: Afternoon Hilton Head (Burkes) session of CHOPPY rippy currenty waist highs with the occasional rogue chesty. Mostly mushy but the waves on HHI are super shouldery and there is an occasional huge barrel that gets tossed out on certain sections. There is a "winter storm" by southern standards passing through the south, and the wind was whipping. The current was extremely strong--freaky strong. Spend most of my time kooked out standing in belly high water trying to stay stationary. Caught a few decent waves but was more concerned with not drowning and making sure the ol' lady didn't have one of those "you dragged me out here" low blood sugar meltdown moments. Then I saw another fin---time for another round of "Shark or dolphin?"!!! I kept looking in that direction about 75 yards away and I saw it swimming with a wave--no joke---like a hallmark card. But it happened so fast and my eyesight is average at a distance so I couldnt tell if it was a shark or dolphin. I alerted the Mrs. and we started paddling in---as the tide had come in a bit we realized that we were on a sandbar and hit that creepy deep part before the shore. Its not usually creepy, but when you see a mysterious fin, it becomes extra creepy. Made it to shore and spotted the fin a few more times. 80% sure it was a dolphin, but 20% uncertainty mixed with sub-par surf = time to call it. The stitching on my Excel 6/5 left chest/armpit started coming undone. I only need a 4/3 right now, but the 6/5 was extra toasty with the air in the 40s and the whipping wind. Dinner: steelhead trout and veggie pasta.

    this dude is high you surfed my home break same day i did and theres no huge barrel sections at burks it was like 2 foot yesterday it does shoulder though. i was out in a 4/3 with no hood it aint that cold. btw there are dolphins and sharks all over the places here you get used to it after a while..kinda. that current was weak as hell you get used to side shore here been dragged down the beach a mile in a few minutes at times no understatement there. ive been warning you brahs about the hhi we go mean and hard. mess around at my break and your car will get thrown down a cliff or lit on fire. wax on the windows is for ***. were the real hardcore waterman here, we dont play little kid games like yall in the north. yallz are still like on a kindergarten level. i was a tybee last weekend to its was shrimp no barrels around i think this guy is insane with his surf reports. did you take lsd and turn 6 inches tall or are you just a midget im 5,10 and cant fit into a 1 foot lips...so what is it?

    Aggro, Aggro, Aggro....tsk, tsk....there you go again. You're up to 87 posts (87!) and you're ripping on senior guys already. It's kinda like you biffed out to the peak on your foamie & started telling guys the set waves are yours. That's the only analogy I could come up with, it's been a long week & it's only Wednesday.

    I actually enjoyed your initial post, pretty neat that you'd take the time to share with us heathens on the SI Forum your epic surfing journeys with Mrs Aggro. Achhhh......but when you jumped into it & started telling us how big & badfjoeybuettofuccals you are, eh, well, that's where you went off the rails.

    My 2 centavos: stick with your saga, it's kinda fun to read, ignore the temptation to put on the New England sleeveless uniform while attempting to drown your perceived antagonists, and all will be well!

    BTW, there's a Maine barn animal that could use a bit of your discipline. He should be showing up any time now.

    Aggro is hilarious. Between the name, the shark nonsense, the waxing windshields comment, and the "staring down tourists" when he lives in Vermont, he's gotta be a secondary account. The pictures are a genius touch. Try to stay more upright on that longboard, you'll get more glide (which will help you to outrun all those dolphin-duck-sharks).
