Ahhhh! My arms. My back. My neck. And my crack! They all hurt, but this feels oh-so-right (: Someone told me today that we’ve had 24 straight days of waves, and those estimations seem just about right. If today’s Maria swell wasn’t the perfect cap to the 24th day of waves, then I do not […]
An illegal alien crossed our borders. He didn’t have a green card, no job, no ties to current citizens, and no plans to stay long. Surfers did not ask questions as Jose shuffled across the American border, and flew up the East Coast. North-blowing winds battered the entire coast as Jose neared, sending surfers flocking to […]
Waves have been non-frickin’-stop. Jersey surfers are finally getting a little taste of what it means to live in a place that actually gets consistent swell… for now. These photos represent what South Jersey got from the first traces of Hurricane Jose. All reports say that Trump will allow Jose across the border, and the boys have […]
The start of an early Fall season leaves warm temp-loving beachgoers furious, and surfers mighty satisfied. With Gert delivering to Jersey, and a large depression to back it up, it’s safe to say Hurricane Hype Season has begun. This storm in particular drove shoobies home with 30 mph Northeast winds. However, after winds subsided, all […]
While the boys up North were getting shacked out of their minds, I was pushing kids into waves and also to their limits at Ocean Outfitter (O2) Surf Camp. Texting O2 Co-Owner, Dean Lyon (Aug. 15, 9:25am): “Hey i know i put down for camp tomorrow. do you think you will need me? Looking at […]
“I don’t know if I’m capable of writing a story, it would probably be a bunch of rambling…” Justin Perry was more concerned about writing his own story than he was about being under-gunned at 13 foot Puerto Escondido. Justin recently traveled down south to his “second home” about 20 minutes away from Mexican […]
Yesterday was sick. There are not many days of waves in NJ summers, let alone any at all with overhead tubes, so one might call yesterday “legendary”. Yes, we’ve seen, ridden and ripped bigger waves, but I thought south swell season was over! Right handers stacked in and bended out to sea and the swell […]
There aren’t many days in the drink that have been better or more fun than Sunday. The boys were absolutely charging all day and we even managed to get some shots thanks to Sean Gallagher. We hucked low tide ledges and tried paddling like Mason Ho when it came time for high tide roll-ins. It was […]
Spring is always a funny time in Jersey. It really does not get much warmer, the water stays the same frigid temperature and the weather usually consists of wind and rain. However, change is always a bit exciting. And in this case, even more so after the lack of proper southern swells this passed Winter […]
