Coming Up For Air

Holy shit. I’m fucking gasping. We’re amidst one of the worst, coldest flat spells I’ve ever experienced. With consistent waves since the end of Summer, I feel like a fish out of water–which is technically true as the water is 40 and the air is 15 degrees. The only way in are proper waves, and […]

Fall 2021 on OBX

Every year, the boys from South Jersey descend upon the Outer Banks of North Carolina in an attempt to get tubed, grill meat over open flame, and become wizards all in one shot. It’s often a hefty ask. However, in most years’ past, the gods of liquor and swell bless the Banks with permitting conditions […]

August’s Post-Tropical Cyclone: ISAIAS

There’s no denying the Tropical Storm Isaias era of this Summer 2020 provided for East Coast surfers. In the week before Isaias, there was a 12-second, ESE swell that ignited an end-of-July & early-August surf fest. Isaias was lighting up Florida & the Southeast as NJ received fun, chest-high South swell conditions before the day […]

Scrolling through IG today, I came across an excerpt from this dude, Quentin Turko’s, new edit. It immediately made me think… I wonder what today looked like down […]

Good Old Weekend Trip South

  Get drunk with a the “pros” at the Belmar Pro during a 60-degree rain storm with 20mph East winds, or send it to beautiful North Carolina for the weekend. The choice was easy.   There is nothing better than driving along Route 12 and pulling over on a random beach to score an empty […]

“Exposed” by Simon Hetrick

  One of the surfers featured in our latest magazine just dropped a killer (mostly) East Coast surf edit. This was an impressive watch–to see a Maryland surfer (born in Pennsylvania) putting out a film that competes with any other pro surfers’ work in the game.     Hetrick surfs with style, without sacrificing true […]

OBX Won’t Stop Impressing Us

  Brett Barley and the Outer Banks’ most faithful have this place dialled. If you’ve never seen it in person, you almost can’t grasp how barreled these guys actually get. However, this video sure gives the viewer a good idea.   Not so sure about the ska, wanna-be-punk music. Nor are we comfortable with the […]
