i hate surfing in the winter. i get excited the first time i use my 5 mil then it just gets annoying. today for instance: i surfed around 9 AM and it wasnt to good. then everytime i duck dove i would get a head ache so i got out from frost bite. then around 3 PM i was going to surf but i had a head ache and didnt want to put a wet wetsuit on so just chilled. if it was summer and we have these waves i would be out for at least 8 hrs. i think every NJ surfer should get a free trip to Costa for surfing this ****!
The ice cream headach goes away after a while . Next time if you plan to go out more than one time a day turn your suit inside out so its dry on the inside and only damp on the outside
that spretty weak man. id rather surf freezing cold nj than being landlocked, for sure. dont take what you have for granted. ice cream headaches suck, and theres nothing like good warm waves. but cold sessions make you grow hair on your chest.
Yeah that was my whip at 7th street . When I got in the water I was the only guy then while like 5 min there was 10 people out. really mellow vibe everyone got more than enought waves. Lefts were So longtoday you could go past the pier it was a fun day
it's not even that cold anymore...i wore a 4/3 all weekend! i agree w/ all of the above...weak post. this weekend wasn't winter surfing. this was early spring surfing at best.
the air temp today was just awesome, try surfing @6am the morning after one of those damn blizzards...
I did surf after one of those blizzards and New Years Day. I a nice 4 hours session each of those times.
Didnt say there was . I said I surfed one of them blizards AND New Years Day. It was colder New Years Day than the Snow Swell we had a cpl weeks ago.
Yeah I have surfed colder too. I surfed in weather so cold I have Icecicles on my eyelashes and in my beard. I maybe lasted a hour that day LOL
agreed, extremely weak post and topic. we all surf in winter, it blows on super cold days but unique in its own way. its good vibes most of times and less aggro at spots then in summer with barneys and a few locals who think say spring lake is trestles.
im not trying to be a little ***** but we surf this crappy wave that we get once every 2 weeks when its 12 degrees while ppl r in costa getting waves constatly while surfing in board shorts
dont be so negative surfing is for optimistic people you gota learn to chill out and appriciete the good!
you may not be TRYING to be a little b!##h, but you sure are playing the part really well. if you don't like it, don't surf it. or move. i'm sure the folks in southern california or florida would be stoked to see another face in their line ups. be happy that you don't live in rhode island, mass., maine, or any other place farther north than jersey. they're in wetsuits year round. you think it sucks surfing here in the winter? at least we get decent surf fairly regularly...what if you lived on the great lakes? now those guys are core!! never thought i'd have to tell a jersey surfer to get a reality check. this is life. it's not fair, but it's a hell of a lot of fun when looked at from the proper perspective.
