We’ve been wanting to increase our coverage of East Coast board builders for a while now. So, in that spirit we’re holding a voting period to determine who RSM will cover in our next print issue. Using initial suggestions and some of our own research, we chose board makers from up and down the East […]
We just got word of a sick little edit out of Puerto Rico where surfing has been recently outlawed. Prior to quarantine, heavy hitters like Dane Reynolds, Craig Anderson, Hector Santamaria, Leif Engstrom, Andrew Doheny, Raymond King, and Ben Gravy were subjects of Nick Eaton’s steady camera. “This was shot during the weeks from February […]
Anyone else spend 10+ hours in the water this weekend? It was there for the taking with a Wintertime swell that mimicked Hurricane Season’s posterboy–Dorian. This long period, East swell delivered in a big way for New York and New Jersey. What’s more, the Cold War surf contest ran on Long Beach Island, NJ–syncing the […]
Last weekend, the only American East Coast surf publication in print debuted the magazine’s latest edition. Saturday, February 22, 2020 was another Rambler Release party for the books. RSM Vol. 2 Issue 3 was officially unveiled to a supportive crowd at the Asbury Park Yacht Club. Party goers came from their local Monmouth County, NJ dwellings, from nearby cities like Philadelphia & […]
On February 2020’s first Friday, NJ experienced a large South swell that had been forecasted something like 7 ft. @ 11 secs. It’s hard to say if the resulting surf matched that prediction; however, the day’s session turned out to be one that will be remembered. Some of the most hi-octane and longest righthand tube […]
Yet another quality edit out of Ryan Simalchik and gang. Before Christmas, the crew drove north to East Coast Canada where Winter was already in full force. NJ surfer Rob Kelly met up with Nova Scotian barrel hound Logan MacLennan in order to find the outer reef slab of slabs. Seemingly perfect A-frames bucked the […]
2019 had some tubes. As I sit here hoping for a 1.9 ft 7sec swell to longboard in the morning, it seems 2020 is off to a slow start. Mr. Latch recounted 2019’s flavor and energy in this here short YouTube film above. Blending clips of 2019’s bodyboard tubes and fishy jives, DJ Surfology mixes […]
Ho Stevie! is a company I learned about after owner, Steve took interest in our very own, Rambler Surf Magazine. Steve was nice enough to let us try his company’s traction pad and shortboard leash. In the video above, I reviewed the Ho Stevie shortboard leash at 6-foot size. After ripping through the packaging with […]
2019 would not go quietly into the night! On the very last day of the year (as well as the decade) surfers received a combo swell chock full of East, with subtle South to back it up. The resulting surf wasn’t huge in most locations. However, a few areas received some overhead tube opportunities. For […]
Gonna choke back the tears as I write this… While we were already missing Summer’s warmth–getting these 35mm shots developed really affirmed the death of Summer ’19. Hurricane Season is coming to an end (holding out hope for a late season swell) and the next thing in vision is–dare I mention her–Wintertime. The air is […]
