i was out friday, saturday, and sunday. sunday was nice, although there was a fun swell on friday---progressing as day went on. where you guys all surf at though? im generally new to the forums, so im just curious.

[tuffy109]

LA, holmes.

[surftb15]

fuck you man, im so jelous. ive only been to california, and only really surfed one day. down in santa cruz, pretty nice place. it really different then nj because waves are more rideable, even on the small stuff you can still throw around a few slashes and curves. here in nj, its just like blah, even on a good day one slash or cutback per ride. but tuffy, i jelous

[tuffy109]

i know. i grew up on the east coast (miami). done the jersey shore thing quite a few times. i can only remember seeing people surf out on long island, past jones beach. never jersey, but i know guys are doing it.

there's a bunch of east coast dudes on the surfermag site.

i am going to get my ass handed to me in RI tomorrow morning :D

[surftb15]

i just came back from North Carolina earlier today, Carolina Beach to be exact. It was SWEET, intense to under exaggerate!!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow we got the new jersey lineup, hopefully this will stick up. i was out there later in the day 3-6 oclock today, and that was even killer. Down in belmar it was nice as nice, not as good as NC though.


Gonzo, good luck in RI. I know a few people there and they said there was a frame waves coming in. hey, u close so enter the red bull ice break. i always wanted to enter that, but it too far for a competition. anyway, good luck man. well both need it! and watch out for them rip tides, in hurricanes the currents are insane and even the turbitury currents whisk you away

[surftb15]

sorry tuffy, dont have a digital camera or even a camera at all. i think it will be good investment though. if you have one used, less then 50 bucks, ill buy it.

here is a picture my friend took though---this is in kitty hawk

classic east coast surfing this morning. i drove down last night and crashed at a buddies planning on getting up and getting some from 4:30 to 6:00 and hauling ass back to work...

flat. totally f-ing flat. surge hasn't hit yet. f me and f the f-ing east coast.

[Yeti]

Maine -- we've had a flattish summer so far, but Thursday-Saturday looks good with Alex followed by a nice low.

[surftb15]

just got back from belmar, nj. i dont know why you guys are saying it was flat, it was perfect. i took some pictures, ill post em after they get developed and i scan them

[webb]

does ckb know that she's your "buddy"?

hope there's something for you tomorrow. I would try to make sure that as much water as possible drains out of your nose when you walk in the office, then if anyone looks at you weird, just shrug mumble something about the commute through "damn hurricane".

[JMO]

Looks like the swell has arrived in NH. I can't make it up there until Saturday morning, though. If anyone gets up there today or tomorrow, be sure to report in. It's nothing huge, but still looks fun.

[surftb15]

wow, that does look like pretty fun. nj was good yesterday, but with this high pressure coming in, this morning was all left over stuff. but glad you guys in NH got the swell before it was all gone

[JMO]

[surftb15]

thats from jersey, mantolooking or whatever they call it. the surf was was pretty fun today. only one problem, every beach was crowded. and then you got these surfers that dont know what the hell they are doing and drop in on your wave your paddling into, and its ridiculous. then, when they are taking the waves they cant even turn their freakin board and got spill and then make a big ordeal over it. they think they are good, but dont know shit. this is why nj beaches suck, beginners that dont know ediquite or what the fuck they are doing. they even are in the beaches at 5 in morning, so it sucks. i come in early with my buds, and theres these 10 year old kids trying to catch waves, cant even stand up on their board. hahaha. this was gettin on my nerves today, so i thought i post my ordeal. anyway back on topic, i still got pictures of urfing in the hurricane, but i got to find a buddy with a scanner. dont got digi cam

Waist high and clean predicted for tomorrow! I'll be at the Wall most of the day. Anyone?

[surftb15]

Wall, NJ? Ill might be right there, possibly, but i got some family comin on. also, my boards are gettin re glassed, so that a problem. you surf around spring lake, belmar, sea girt, manasquan?

[JMO]

Jersey's a little too far for me - I'm talking New Hampshire.

[surftb15]

theres a wall, nj next to the beach in nj as well.

One of the best days of the year today. Head high with the occasional overhead set. Guys were getting barreled here and there. I had the best ride of the season this morning, on top of it. A shoulder high absolutely clean right with an easy drop in that never seemed to close out on me. So good.

[rightcoast]

had a great session yesterday in RI. I was surfing the South side of the Pt Judith lighthouse, waves were super clean, with some definate overhead sets coming in as the tide filled in.
and the best part...only one other guy in the water as opposed to the crowd on the other side of the lighthouse...amazing.
looking foward to a great fall!!!

[JMO]

Another stellar day up at Rye Beach on Saturday morning! Head high sets with the occasional clean ride all the way to the beach. There were a bunch of close-outs and thanks to a high tide at 9am, Rye was a mob scene but if you waited for your wave, good times were to be had. I think I've finally gotten over the fear of head-high waves. So good.

Great day in the water.

[surftb15]

yeah nj hasent been too good. fuck school, cuz it gonna be goin off as this week progresses. Tomorrow when the tropical depression hits, i gonna be fuckin pissed. fuck school, fuck it.
