  1. I wish this thread was still alive!!! So much love for surfing & every beautiful wave the ocean sends our way <3

  2. Finally got some wave action this weekend since the monsoon returned, but before I could get in the water, lads were paddling back in. An eight foot saltie was prowling around. The sharks and stingers are almost enough to keep me away as it is, but throw in a croc too? Fuck that noise. What a suicide mission.

    Can't catch a break up here :rolleyes:
     
  3. Damn that is gnarly. If there was a fat shark in the area could you not go to a close to shore beach break wave? Dunno if you have any where you live though
     
  4. For me, the south winds are back and I am having life changing sessions. Charged some huge waves with my 7 foot gun
     
  5. Lucky bastards. Got a huge swell over the weekend, talking 1 foot overhead minimum (verrry rare here) with super clean conditions. I guess I was the lucky one :)
     
  6. I lived in California from the time i was 7 to 19, needless to say 15-19 were the happiest days of my lives so far. Nothing beat getting up early at 6am smoking two joints and paddling out into the ocean while the sun came up. Now currently in CT and miss those days, I still have a board it just doesn't get much use besides summer time in RI.

  11. Bumping this relic to report that after 30 years of living the landlocked life, I finally live in a place with regular swell (and no crocodiles).

  17. Next week is forecast solid 6' and offshore. And my shoulder's too fucked to paddle. :hide:

    Anybody getting any swell?
     
  18. 7' today, offshore, and I'm still in recovery.

    Anybody that I can live vicariously through? I can hear them crashing from my front porch.
     
  19. I'm pretty much the only poster in here, but I feel compelled to repel that the majority of waves this season have come with thoroughly on-shore winds.

    The good-bro in me wants to feel bad for my fellow surfers. In reality, I'm so glad I didn't miss anything epic.
