So wait, that's 1 wave every 3 minutes? I'm not worthy
That board is poly. I guess I did have some epoxy I could have used with the filler, didn't think of that.
Just logged it. Waist high, super clean and fun. If you guys get some 8' @ 15 with offshores then I'm packing my board and driving up the coast.
short period aframes peaking all along the beach makes for what i call ultra aerobic surfing. no paddlebacks. take a right for 50-100 yrds, paddle straight out quickly, take a left right back to where you were and just keep working it like that. never paddle out for more than 20-30 seconds before grabbing another wave. helps when yer the only one out, which happens more often than not in maine.Quote:

We have 9@15 this weekend, but NW winds. Not to worry, there's a spot nearby that will be overhead tube city. Lemme know if you come up.Quote:

Looks like the WC will get some waves just as I return home, I just hope the rain holds off...that would keep me out of the water for a week or so (we still havent had our first rain).
well, ballyhoo cool guy:)Quote:

lovin it!

oh, my bad, I came here looking for backcountry ski information about the High Presidentials
I've been watching the south OB cam past few weeks and that place has had some good days, perfect overhead and glassy. I'm waiting on a board that would be good for those kinda conditions. I always talk about driving the coast but never end up doing it, I'm pretty sure it will happen some dayQuote:

BTW, I'll be down in your neck of the woods again in April (or so it looks). Depending on the winter, I'll be hitting up the tram or T again. Or points north. Still would love to check out Baldy.
rog - I think you have me mistaken. I'm not that cool. I just know that I don't mind waiting for certain types of waves. While I do enjoy a good, consistent, beach break day, sometimes the wait is worth it.
To be honest, some of the best sessions for me is one where I keep on moving. Don't really mind if a good portion of the movement is paddling back out.
OTOH, I have surfed days where there is absolutely no waves for 20-30 minutes, but then the 4.5@20 comes in, and it is just me and my buddy on a long left racing slab like Blackhole. And those days are epic, as long as i have the time to sit an wait.
i was kidding ott. i would love to ride much longer waves than i have available. on occasion i have in some locales. it's all good.

Yeah, that OB cam has looked really good, but it's small and weak as shit. Amazing how many people surf the beach when it's gutless. This weather won't be here Saturday night. However, there are places to handle it. Maybe a few nights with OTT, and a few nights at my place?Quote:

April sounds fun, hopefully we have more snow this year. My grandparents are staying directly across from the tram in Feb/March, so I'm sure I'll check it out. Will let you know if it's holding any snow this season. I also renewed my pass to baldy so I'm down for that too.
This storm is staying too iffy right now for my liking. Wish it would just dump and make the decision easy.
Dude. This is the surf forum. Get it straight. ;).
My general rule is buried somewhere else, but it Is sort of like this. Go for the rarer treat. So, unless the surf by you looks like it is going to be solid head high and clean, go for the snow. There is already some up there and pretty sure Sunday will be a storm day. Sounds worth it to me.
Of course, I am assuming gondi 2 is open. If it ain't, then a tour could be worthy.
I also believe in getting your mountain legs back early and your elevation lungs pumped.
Damn tap stalk double post
ah, the surf or snow dilemma........
if the surf is good, meaning at least waist/chest and clean, i don't leave home.
me likey:http://www.swellinfo.com/surf-foreca...hampshire.html
and today was the worst day wnd wise and in the right spot it was pretty damn good!
can't wait to get back on it in 8 hours.......
rog
it just keeps getting bettah!
maine. chest/head+ clean lefts/rights all over the place this am. surfed a coupla hours. the rights were beautiful, nice shape.
let the streak continue for dayz and days.......
off to work

About as flat and poor as can be here. Walked out by the Lane this morning to a very high tide, strong south winds and almost no swell at all. It actually just looked like a wind chopped sea. Horrible. Which is perfect, as I am flying solo with the boy for a few days. I am sure this incoming swell will be decent in spots, but so happy we have the storm on top of us. If it was like the days I missed during that beautiful weather 10 days ago, I would be so bummed. Glad to hear ME is dishing it out.
ya ott we seem to be on a roll here. sept was almost every day, october was filled with swell, and november has been like at least 10 out of 16 days with at least 7 more days in a row coming. shit maybe 65-70 sessions on the new kechele since late august. board ain't new anymore, will probably be cooked in 6 months like all the others........
have a good weekend
rog
6.5@10 this am. will report back, but i'm sure you already knew that:)
rog
i jinxed it. best buoy/wind forecast yet this swell, but it looked/surfed the worst. plenty o size, but there must been full on gang warfare between opposing swells and winds offshore. yuck.
still got some exercise tho. thrustered up the 5'8 for the 1st time in a while. some fun drops reminded me how much of a different animal that board is set up that way. like adding a big wave board to the one board quiver with just fin swap.
off to work, hope you left coasters get some soon!
rog
left work early today cuz i was bored and decided to go for session #2. smaller, weaker, but somehow better than this am. worth it!
tomorrow.........
