who here has been surfing this week?

Congrats on your retirement old fella!!!!

 

Damn, that looks like hella fun but I can barely surf on a regular surfboart. There is no way I will ever have the balance to make something like that go.

 

Great sunset session last night....had to work till after 4 and wasn't sure there was enough daylight to make it worth suiting up. BUT it was sunny and 55 out, with perfect Delaware wind - light SW. Ending up paddling out at 4:30 - the sunset was spectacular from the lineup with the smooth surface. All those oranges and purples that time of evening...makes the ocean look like oil. Traded weak but clean thigh-waist high waves on the mini simmons with a few friends. long soft rights with 2-3 turns. When we got out of the water it was after 5:30...we're def. gaining daylight over a few weeks ago. Very stoked. Water temps are above average for this time of year and at least 5 degrees above what they have been in mid January most of the past few years. Very noticable...i'm still wearing a hooded 4/3 with 3 mil gloves and was quite comfy even as it got dark.

 

Suited up and checked a few spots but tide was already too deep so I went home. With less water there should be a knee- waist high wave out there. Oh well.

 

Did the exact same thing, but, our air temps are 33F, water 42F....a cold north wind started up. Went home....pulled a barry.

 

If this flat spell lasts any longer I think I'm gonna try going to the Gulf Coast of FL

 

Dude they have been getting it all Winter!

 

Hate admitting this but I haven't surfed since the first week of December. It's just been too big and out of control

 

Surfed Sunday and Wednesday am. Switched between the 7ft foamie and 5’2” mini sim. Had a lot of fun catching some lined up little lefts and rights.

Yesterday the wind was pushing hard offshore and it stood up these perfect little left running peelers. Simmons slipped all over like a bar of soap on a wet floor. Even jammed in a couple turns. Fun times. But damn if it ain’t getting cold...

 

Smart surfers know when to go out; more importantly they know when NOT to go out.

 

"smart surfers"?

#oxymoron

 

F'ing onshore wind and lack of proper swell angle makes DP321 depressed...

 

So far January has sucked.

I'm digging the good weather, but lack of big winter storms in the mid-atlantic/northeast = lack of waves down here

 

Gonna get some decent surf soon...

 

Try 18F degrees with a 25-30MPH wind from Quebec, wind chill= 0*F or so. Even if there were waves, who da puck would go out?? I used to, but not anymore......no sireee, I am done with that poop.

 

Yeah that's f'ing cold lol

 

How smart are we to retire to places like this, when the denizens that were born here spend most of their lives trying to get out?

I submit to you, gentlemen, that we are truly morons.

Ah it is what it is. I love it here. And I will die here.

 

Well, while cold, we have very little social problems created by morons. So far....

 

Amen, hermano

 

Three days I've been holding off on calling this site a very poor predicting site. We all have our moments. A predicted clean waist to chest hi swell was GI Joe - ankle to knee IRL.

FINALLY this afternoon the wind went onshore and the tide dropped and some chunks got pushed in. At a very random spot, south of the Jupiter Inlet, north of the Civic Center. A handful of kids were on it, and one female who made them all look lame. She was connecting everything from outside to shore. In a bikini!

I took the fat fish out and slided ass on the first wave I took off on at the bottom when I turned, forgot to bend the ole knees. Then I got all gumby and it got good as the tide sucked out. Last wave was a gem, the top got blown off by the wind, then reformed on the mid break so I did a bouncy grab rail back side takeoff/roll-in. Solid chest high with bigger peaks here and there down the line.

The wave stood up, and I let go of the rail and stood tall, and then surprisingly landed a micro air drop into the face (knees all loose), got moving, and made every warbly section, each one standing up, then going soft, doing drawn out backside bottom turns to let the wave catch up and stand up, getting steep, going fast againne, made it all the way to the beach, and figured this was a good note to roll back home with.

Playoffs!!! Tomorrow!!! Life is goode.
