who here has been surfing this week?

Dam

Yank not again, remember after that AI session you ended up in the hospital! You need to pick out a nurse from "Scantily Clad Women" thread for a travel companion.

Sorry to hear as you been so looking forward to this CR trip.
Be safe flying home ............

 

Hang in there guy.
I've been down that road myself a few times...fractured fibula/torn ankle, badly torn groin, broken hand. No fun, but they all healed.
Stay strong.

 

All of our thoughts won't heal you, but here's one more out for you Yank. Hopefully the damage done isn't as bad as you think. Even if it's the worst, use the time off to get stronger and get stoked for that next session. Might be easier said than done, but just be happy to be alive.

I'll make sure to pull into a couple barrels for you on Sunday and will spread the positive vibes.

 

Dear Mr Yank

Sorry to hear of your injury, really a bummer especially on a surf trip. Take it easy down there and during the trip back, stay off the leg

As Kanman mentioned- easier said then done- but try take some time to relax and enjoy CR even without surfing, or getting stoked watching others surf or just the warm air and green senery

Really a bummer- hard to say much cause I know it's not gonna make it any better.

Hoping and praying for a speedy recovery
Your old pal
Mr Belmar

 

You always have the most positive karma, dog.....same back atcha hermano

 

Awesome G Man gracias

 

Gracias Dos, tremendous perspective

 

Kan, I recall when you first appeared here on Yee Olde Fourume, eons ago, backe in the daye. You have shared with us your surfing progress, and you have made terrific strides to become a solid shredder. Perhaps others have also followed your progress with the same admiration. Anyways, gracias much appreciated.

 

Bels you are da bomb, goes without saying but I said it anyways. You're one of the ol' skool Fourumme OG's, I am humbled to receive your good wishes.

Home now, MRI this week, we shall see what the technology tells.

In the meantime let's get this treade backe to surfing. I'll live vicariously via y'all who are donning the neoprene, or the lucky few who are not (DP!), and always look forward to the pics from Kan, Mitchell, et. al.

Best wishes for surfing holidays, buoyz

 

Yankkee, always rememberre, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Keep the faith! Hope you have a fast and full recovery, and in the meantime, don't hesitate to vent on this here wave predicting site. I will continue to ignore your erstwhile posts.

 

It was sweet today, a couple feet OH on the peaks and plenty of good waves to go around. Offshore, and well groomed lines. Took the 6'6" Orion swallowtail trusty ole yeller for an ole feller out for the first time in along time. Was kinda nervous because I haven't surfed good waves in quite a while. Butterflys on the way to the beach.

My plan worked perfect. Be picky. Don't get worked.

Went out on the south side of the Juno Pier, very crowded but a conveyor belt takes you right out so no sets on the head. Then a very contested Right peak going against the grain, and if you drift a bit south of that,it's all goode. Big clean lefts, with a SW wind holding the faces open. Long long long lines. First wave went all the way to the bottom and cranked a backhand bottom turn into a nice well overhead face and ricocheted into the inside getting some sic off the lips. Many to follow.

One wave, I was flying thru the middle and it jacked up and I got covered up and made it out the barrel into the inside and to the beach, all the way from the outer peak it was 400 yards walk back to the pier.

Should be a real good season of waves ahead. Life is goode!

 

Mr Yank, I’m heading to RI tomorrow so I’m icing knees tonight thinking of you haha! Just more crap falling apart on me but like it’s been said, just makes me more determined to keep getting better so i can maybe shred someday too - I’m in some talented and experienced company now. Gonna be riding the shortie so we shall see!
Stay well.

 

Looked amazing on the cams and pics i’ve seen from my neck of the woods. I unfortunately was in Tallahassee at the Gators vs Noles game. My Noles got stomped in the 2nd half after they looked decent in the 1st half. Oh well, still had fun, but would rather of been surfing! If we hadn’t dropped $500 on tickets at the beginning of the year we wouldn’t have gone. I tried selling them online but nobody gave us a valid offer.

 

I just got royally screwed.

Im on call for work this week. 24/7 for a week. Doesn't mean i can't surf early though. Pull up to my main spot this AM at 6. It was looking raw. Beach was just getting beat up bad. Looked good, this just wasn't the spot. Went to my deeper spot. It looked good! Clean. Head high with some plus sets. Nice makeable lines. My buddy was getting the at 8. I was trying to decide between waiting for a bit more tide and my bud or just going. Knowing im on call and the calls usually start coming in around 8-9. If they come in at all. Well i decided to wait. It did look good but some more tide would of been welcomed for sure. Plus if a call comes in, so what? I'll make it a quick sesh and I'll get to the call after. No biggie. Who cares if a refrigerator or HVAC unit doesn't work for an extra hour? Not me. 745 comes around. I gave it another check. It's go time. It looks slightly bigger and just really really fun. Boom. A call comes in. The kicker? It was for one of the power plants. It's not for comfort, the HVAC keeps equipment cool to prevent damage. Very expensive and important equipment. I can't put that off. I want to, especially considering the issues i have with my company. But im not that guy. I have a job to do and despite how unhappy i am with the company im still going to do my job. I had to pull away from perfect looking waves. That hurts.

Hope the rest of you guys score. It looks really fun out there. Im sure jersey and spots north are going off as well

 

That’s the type of thing that will make you successful wherever you go Pal. Here’s a good meathook pat on the back -
You’ll get yours. Believe it.

 

Full moon high tide kind of mushed things out at first this morning, then by 10:00 the tide dropped a bit and it started to fire pretty good in Maryland..

 

Yeah, I definitely take pride in my work ethic and reliability. But it's still hurting. Hurts more because of this funk. Been dealing with the leg/hip pain since summer. You know what went down when i headed up your way. 2 weeks later jersey looked waist-chest high and i planned on making the trip to score offshore rather than sideshore winds. Pulled the plug last minute due to the forecast calling for 20+ mph winds and thinking itll probably be getting knocked down with the higher tide and wind. Woke up to discover the winds were less then 10 early and didn't pick up till later. Had a few fun seshs here but the days that had that possibility of being more than just fun, but really good.... closeouts or somthing. Feel like i havnt surfed a really good wave since CR. Today was that chance and it got shot down hard.

It's all good. There will be waves another day. But im definitely going to sulk for the rest of the day. I'll change my attitude tomorrow.

 

Oh, BassMon....do me a favor....STFU!!! and go do your job--the ocean will provide you with AMPLE opportunities to go surfing as time rolls on. You are young and have many years to look forward to surfing, eating, pooping, and maybe, just maybe, if you stop whining, get laid a few times as well.
Do you know what this is....&....? It is the smallest violin in the world playing "My Heart Bleeds for You"!!
That's life. Hope you were handsomely paid.
But besides that, you are A-OK in my book.

 

You and my father would get along marvelously ...
Alone. In a room with no windows. And no one else
And as I type this I’m watching crazy head high/overhead sets just POUND Easton’s beach. Wind is still howling pretty good offshore and I’m also watching these mountains of dark green get foamy and peel an easy two miles away out past the point... it looks like Cortes Bank in the distance. Dam.

 

I get the funk thing - been in one for a while too. I think a bunch of Swellies have off and on... maybe it’s the non existent fall we had.
Or evil brain waves from a mind control device I may or may not have planted in the Swellinfo server
Moooooohshahahahahaha
