Sooo is this part of the forum dead?

Hey there, Saltcreep. I'm Paulie from Galveston. Been livin here a few years, so I'm still kinda new on the Island. I stay pretty much between 17th and 37th Streets. Seems that the closer you get to 37th, the surf quality goes up. Ain't never been waay down south to Jamaica Beach. LOL Looks like we're fixin to have us a week or so of chest high Victory at Sea y'all, startin Saturday. It's barely startin now. The lake we had for so long is just startin to churn.

We all get to go out this weekend and see if we remember how to surf!

Welcome up there in "umble" dude.

ps - metard could easily get a sponsorship from Adobe for his Photoshop skillz. Just sayin...

 

ibc .....good to see around here again

 

Perfect!

Belmar all the way! Blows every other surfing board spot out of the water!

Belmar- all day every day

Right on Gaff

 

So am I to believe ...

That in Texas ... skinheads drive hours from the Branch Davidian complex on weekends, camping at the beach, battling for two-foot onshore chop in mud-sewage.

And in Jersey (or at least Belmar), you have to wear a light wetsuit, but the wind gently blows offshore glass, and with the slightest crouch and pump, a beautiful head-high green wave automatically barrels you?

 

LOL

Ain't life grand?

Of course we hope for the day, or few hours, when the wind dies and it cleans up. The ultimate is when a front comes through with solid offshores. It's sweet for a few hours til it's blown away.

Yo Metard. Hope life's been treatin ya well.

 

Tropical Storm Bill. Surfsides Inside is pretty fun today.

 

I came across these pics of TS Bill for you TX dudes, enjoy.

Why is the entire lineup sitting inside for the reform when the outsides look pretty rip able?

 

Was wondering the same

 

Maybe outside: 1) Was weak and crumbly. 2) Wouldn't carry you across the dead spot before the reform.

It's kinda hard to tell. I don't venture south of Galveston, so not sure. There's lots of days here where I sit inside, at the end of the rock groins, on porpoise. Outside too crumbly, teaser sh**. Wave will wall up, make you think it's gonna deliver, then sputters out, nada. I hate teasers. Just stay inside and have way more fun, git me some, etc.

We got a few days of fun here, but they got the real deal down south on the south side of the eye.

Maybe next time...

It's nice to be talkin about this stuff though!
