Have you ever gone out and not gotten a single wave?

Should have shot the pier.

 

I prefer surfing with groms.party waves,whatever.fuk all the hostility these 30yr old losers who cant do a bottom turn try,crowding up the only good sandbar in a 20 mile radius just floating there in the way.i surf central jersey and its great.no crowds,fast hollow waves,and people have respect and have fun in the ocean.if you surf a spot full of kooks,your bound to become a kook.surf empty waves by yourselves or with little groms itching for some knowledge and youll be proud to be an American.

 

Yeah, I saw you on your way in....

And decided not to paddle out...

 

no. not once.

 

Every day man.

But seriously, this happened to me yesterday during my 2nd session in Frisco. It was a windblown mess. Was also strapped for time and conditions deteriorated rapidly. Also the wife had her hands full with both kids on the beach.

 

So, one more person gave a departure speech, only to return.

 

With my work schedule I try to hit the beach every day and I don't always check the surf report so I find myself out on some crappy who turned the ocean into a lake days. I may not get a wave; but on those days I still make the most of it by working with my kids on their surfing.

And as said before.. stay away from 1st street during the summer. Besides a few dawn patrols I avoid 1st street until off season with the full suits come out. Put up and down the beach because way less crowded and sometimes better spots all around VaBeach. The other thing is I avoid the oceanfront in general all summer long except for special events when we normally ride our bikes down to it.

 

That's outstanding. Check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kv1hQXCVxDw

 

Got shore break?

Great beard of Zeus!!!
That was a purely awesome compilation. It got better and better throughout. I thought the video reached it's full potential when the bodyboarder raised the roof with his batwings mid-air. Then those three dudes took the party wave plunge off the lip like they were shot out of a cannon. With the size of the crowd it looks like there's as many or more decapitations from surfers hitting duck divers as there are broken necks from eating a buffet of $hit over the falls.

Wow. I have to go watch that amphibious mosh pit a few more dozen times. Maybe put headphones in and play any number of radical songs as the soundtrack. One of my go-to spots is a Sandy consequence that has a shore break with an even greater pitch into the sand but there's no jetty to the side like at the spot in the video. Did they have an ambulance paddy wagon there ready to remove bodies by the truckload? What's nuts is that nearly ever rider in that video looked completely willing and stoked to be in that massive, krunk spin cycle.

Sick post, brah.

 

I can't stop watching this clip. It's like Teahupo'o with the circular closeout and the thickness of the lip rivaling its height. Brah, it's like there's IED's in that water at certain points of the break. These geysers come out of nowhere. Mad rad props to all of those surfers and spongers that knew how to ride it and made it through most of it untouched. That is, until they got catapulted. Great editing. Slow-mo wouldn't have done it justice. Gotta put it on freeze-frame so viewers can see "yes, this guy is inverted 23 feet in the air and about to safely land on a Hindu cushion buried beneath the whitewater."

Any more vids like this?

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^Just youtube search the wedge and you should get tons of hits. There was some footage I saw a few weeks back of a pretty sizable swell from this past winter.

 

Without having watched the videos, I knew it must have been the wedge from Spicoli's description. I could spend hours watching people eat it at the wedge.

 

I'd love to catch that place on a 4-6 foot day.

 

Pink and SS - yup. The Wedge. And I just watched 5 other films just like it from that location. Some of them were just as good because of the crowd response as what you were seeing. It's a pretty sick spot. Not a complete closeout disaster so it presents challenge and reward to get in for the quick viable ride then out before you're going Kennore on spin. When it winds around to the arced portion to the far left (from wave POV), do you think that is always pure closeout or could that be ridden with some type of face in the right wind? Like a skater would in a bowl. You watch Teahupo'o and it looks like you just gotta pull right and back towards the shore once you reach the sidearm of it but that could be due to just how damn heavy that is. Not that this one's a bag of feathers.

Pink, I could watch these clips all day too. Anywhere in MA we can make this happen artificially with the help of some ski boat wakes? I'll bring the hoes and seldom will bring the seeds.

 

I wish that was me...takes me back to my roots! Pounds of sand in every pore, sunburned and sore, me wants some more.
