Warm water and power=NY

More variety and less crowded=ME

Both are probably equal in the consistency department.

I easily choose Maine as i like real winter and don't like surfing around...

Twas fantastic 20 months ago. 3.25% fixed for 30 years. CHEAP MONEY!!!!

Oh and uh, a few of my closest/regular surf partners are full time SUP surfers.

Maine does have assholes. Most of them don't live here tho:)

I have been an asshole in and out of the water at times. Most recent water asshole incident was at the river. I was having SUP issues....

Maine cough Maine cough cough:vax:

He is quite the character.

Ha! No just not clean shaven.:D

Glad you got out. My invitation stands:)

A few of us are meeting at Longsands at 530am. again. So long as the buoy holds.......it's actually crept up a bit since this am, so.........

Join us if you'd like. I don't work till noon, but...

Pudge, i hope you got out this morning.

Nice swell running this am. Small, waist high sets, but super clean with light offshores with a longer period which helped in the push department. Pulled up...

Nothing like new board stoke! Good for you brother:)

I won't be able to make the music hall, but sounds like a good time. Here's some NH stoke for you from June. My second NH surf sesh in over a...

That's a hell of a price! I'll go over to Liquid Dreams and try one on.

I know strawjack posted a pic of me surfing the vinyard from my wedding trip in may, but here's a better shot of the same...

I would certainly entertain the idea of a patagucci suit purchase if they last longer and are warmer for their thickness. Less worried about stretch as i'm not very flexible. I should really stretch...

Thaaaaaat's more like it:)

Early york wasn't happening, so went back to bed. Woke up and headed to the river. Super fucking fun. Lefts were even working. Punchy, waist plus sets consistent, and...

How do you like that R3? Stiff or stretchy?



Santa Cruz area? I surfed at the river with a shaper from your area a couple weeks ago. His name is Jonathan (insert polish-ish last name here)....

Everytime i buy a new 4/3, which is about once a year, my old 4/3 becomes the suit i wear thru summer . I never buy hooded or expensive 4/3's. Once i need more than my squid lid, i'm in my 5/4 winter...

Yay. At least it's trying to pick up. Surfed the river alone this morning for a good hour till one other "adventurous" soul decided to suit up and wander through the fog to have a look from the only...

With slight uptick in swell and period with perfect angle, i'll be headed to the river in 10 minutes with 4/3, boots and maybe even gloves as the water has dipped back down to 55 degrees. ouch.

More people than you'd think.



Nothing showing up yet at all. Tomorrow a bust? South end of gooches may be the only good clean spot other than the river, but with a southerly swell direction,...

I didn't surf Saturday. Was tiny out there.

Salisbury is one of the few places where a chip works (for the average working man) when it's only knee/thigh high.

Soft top? Ditch the towel(s) and keep it simple:D.

CR will be loaded with deals. Liquid Dreams (Maine) has quite a closeout list as well.

I'll be gone the 2nd/3rd, but other than that I should be around.

Small sedan? roll up 2 towels to act as pads for roof and get 2 12 or 15' tie down straps. Open doors, strap the board on running the straps inside the car along the roof, then close doors.

How...

Wore a 4/3 and 7mm boots all last week if that tells you something. Maybe it'll hit mid 60's by mid August. When do you arrive?

Still looks promising for surf for the next 5 days for spots that...

Surf/swim zones are no biggie, imho. The lifeguards don't even get to their posts until 9am so it's all a surf zone for 4.5 hours in the am and 3.5 hours in the pm. The river is fair game all day...

Ya power is nice. Makes things less of an effort in general. Plus, around here we need all the power we can get, especially being stuck in thigh-head range for much of the year.

I haven't been...

Salisbury. The one n only. The land of sand sucking punch.

The bury gives you another good half day after places like the wall have shown glory. Plus the bury breaks twice as hard oftentimes.

Buoy overnight held just enough combined with a swell period increase from 6ish to 8ish with a bit less of an angle to provide some super smooth thigh/waist high peelers this morning. Surfed about...

Could be. My 5 has some crow fly miles thrown in for "good" measure.:D

I'm liking the buoy readings right now and forecasted west winds for the am...........

A bit far out but fuck it, one can dream. Looks like some southeast fetch building late monday with possible fun waist+ sets and clean for places that work with sw winds. Hmmm, 5 miles north of...

Mostly south of footbridge. Let me know as the time draws near. Lonely surfing around here.

Feels sorta weird posting 2 in a row, but here goes.

Crossed fingers worked i guess. All that wind coming from the mid atlantic moved lumps of windswell to Maine this morning. The sw winds weren't...

We got surf. Thursday evening sesh in Maine yielded stomach and even some chest sets. Totally off the radar and was peaky fun and clean. Friday morning, same bat time, same bat channel. More short...
