i guess that explains why you keep doing the same move over and over again....
Are there River waves in Manch Vegas?
And where'd That nickname come from anyways?
Dunbru you know the mighty Merrimack is frothing this time of year, just enough jet fuel and mill yard runoff. You might grow a horn if you're*** doing double sessions, but it's nothing Kelly won't throw you some dough over
I think the name has something to do with the juxtaposition of everything Vegas is and everything dirty Manch isn't. There's also a karaoke bar bearing the name off Granite, they got a mechanical bull and everything
Anything coming through NH/ME out of this lil nor'east slop/chop? Decent waves on Cape Ann today, getting progressively cleaner throughout the afternoon. Should clean up nicely tomorrow morning before disappearing for the foreseeable future.
Anyone one have some insight on NSP boards? ... Got the feeling that they may be a beginner type bang around board? or not?... Looking at a midsize long (8'-9') for about a hundred bucks. Sound good?
Yes. I surfed the 8'4" for a week in Mexico. Mostly ho-hum surf ranging from knee to head high, mostly around waist high. Board worked well enough in a variety of waves. Caught them easily enough. Not a high performance board by any means but I'd pick one up for $100. Surfs better than a WaveStorm. A bit heavy.
Thank you sir.
A pretzel flew into my car while I was driving today. I think it's a sign that there will be waves in a month or two.
Finally liquefied all my water sliding foam assets, ending up taking home a little more than 2/3 of what I paid for my CI shortie despite putting my knee a couple inches through the glass. I think some kook like me picked it up, possibly of the Quebexican persuasion
Been working on a Grain kit after I get home from the cube, will post pics when I finish. Also in the midst of hiking all the 4000ers in one summer, only 17 left after this weekend
storm surf. cleaning up next couple days

sick picture.. I paddled out in Rhode Island yesterday. Water was still warm too.. did not need a 4/3. Waves were a little blown out, but in the right spot a good ride could be had. SUP guys seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Yeah, we're in 4/3 now. Same up here...pick the spot and even then it was funky. I was taking pics of both my boys and it was very inconsistent and messy for them.
Way for them to go after it. It is good to be hungry for waves. Learn how to grab a few in those conditions, then you are all ready to rip them when it cleans up.
Been out of the water since Joaquin, but next Thursday looks like a nice bump with currently offshore winds!
Saw some pics of Hatteras and Jersey from last week that looked sick. Sadly, it has been a pretty terrible couple months down here in Southern NC aside from a few days here and there. Anyone scoring lately?
First time out in 2016. Crazy how warm the water still is in the NE.
NH was big and a little disorganized last Saturday thanks to Jonas. Sunday cleaned up nicely.

southside of BH.
My son had surfed it at dawn then headed back later and it had cleaned up a bit. This guy was charging it, so he snapped a few pics.
Wow, impressive. I've lived in the area for a long time and haven't seen a wave that big at SS. Maybe during Bill.
After grabbing some mail from my parents house I went and looked a few spots up near Straws, both were blown out with the high tide but really cool to watch.
No, not me. I'm a full on kook! My kids are becoming quite seasoned in the big cold waters.Quote:

I bet the Perfect Storm was bigger, but likely not enough headland to knock down the winds from that one. I recall Bill had huge waves in the evening at Wells Harbor. Leaping way over the jetties kind of thing. I could imagine some big surf down south that evening, but by morning the swell was cut in half and dropping quickly.
Kind of cool that it is maggots and maggots kids that are chasing the spots I used to chase as a kid. What is kind of cool about that whole coast line is that the Gulf of Maine and the Georges Banks conspire to slow swells down, allowing you to catch taller waves with smaller boards. That alone is kind of cool.
Your son got a good shot there. Was the wave staying open long? It almost looks like it wants to shut down there.
Yeah, the Perfect storm was mess. Just big storm surf with heavy winds. I was actually whitewater kayaking at the wall for that one just playing around in the chaos of the rebounding waters.
This storm was pretty good because it was so far off the coast. They'd barrel over for a brief moment, but not long enough. Not closing out completely either.
I surfed Rockaway, Queens for the perfect storm. A couple hundred miles of wrap cleaned that thing up nicely into big, thick lines. We called it the Halloween Swell until the book/movie came out with the updates name. Cool to know another mag was out in that swell.
I just realized I was wrong on that one. I was thinking another storm, not the Perfect Storm. I was living in Truckee during that storm.
reading this reminded me a of a video my friend shot during Bill.. enjoy

^great vid!
Closing the beach to surfers is so lame...and so NE!
But the tourist could get hurt!
Looks can be deceiving. Coldest day of the year last Sunday.
My oldest and pic by my youngest.

I don't know who took the vid, but my kid saw him flying the drone around. Big day in cow hampshire
Cool! I wonder when will the big waves and many who dare to surf on them?
^^^^huh? I wonder two.
get after it:

My kid pulled of the double yesterday. Freshies at Cannon and then surfed southside in the early evening. Pulled of getting to the Banff film fest as well. It's good to be young.
Damn. I'd be asleep. I only surfed today and I can't wait until sleep time.
I did that few times out here long ago. More like first light surf and then up to the hill to finish the day. Never with powder. It would be a rare event to have fresh snow and clean surf.
Yeah, as you know, we usually have waves and snow at the same time, but it is rare to have clean surf also.Quote:

Anyone ever taken lessons with Summertime Surf in Pt. Pleasant, NJ? I haven't surfed in 30 years and thought it would be a fun way to kill a few days at the beach next week.
