East Coast Surf

^^^you in Mass? Massholes.

When I was 17, we were cruising home from a session near Goosefare Bay. Country roads and I was going about 80. Got pulled over and asked why I was speeding. Told the cop I was late for work.

He walked back to his car glancing in the back of my wagon. Came back with a warning.

Then he asked if we surfed Fortunes and if it was decent. Told him we scored, not at Fortunes, but it was a secret.

He joked he should ticket me unless I spilled the beans on our spot, and then went on his way.

Rural Maine cops are pretty cool from my experience.

The dudes they hire on for summer only in the tourist towns are not. Those guys I think are from Mass.

BTW, last heard from rog in November. I got this pic from him. Pretty sure it is O at mid tide. Like he likes it. No one out.

Got out Monday for dawn. Worth it just to see the sunrise, it really is an amazing scene with the sun rising over Richmond Island.



Waves were decent, had a few smooth runs in when the longboarders weren't hogging. That place is 99% loggers unless it's overhead it feels like.

Been slammed with work/life this week otherwise. Woulda been great to get out yesterday! Off to NC for ten days but will be excited for Xmas break and some relaxed time in the water.

BTW... Anybody got a two shortboard travel bag they'd rent for a week or two? Headed to SF in january.

I enjoy and miss rogs beta in this thread. It's basically worthless without his Intel.

He was banned for being callow with remarks pertaining to the fatalities of tunnel creek avalanche, many here were friends with the victims of that incident.

yes it is a shame cuase he brought good info and was willing to talk with peeps and even show them around a bit. good MT washingtn intell also...... type A personality and maybe a touch full of himself but would take that anyday over some of the other shit spit out on here

Cant the ROG be unbanned ...... he did serve his sentence..kinda i wouild think.......and shouldnt be banned for life....should he???....bring back the ROG

[jackstraw]

It wasn't terrible, but the wind picked up. Flat the next morning. Today and the rest of the week...bone chilling single digit crap. My kid is ready to head back to SC.

Yeah, good point. Great for the photogs. You get any pics lately?

[rdennhs]

I wish, I have a couple wedding films to finish on my backlog, always feel bad picking up the camera when they're waiting for their film. Soon! Took a gander at the lost river gorge wildfire terrain yesterday tho.

Nice! I was wondering if that would come into play for us.

[Ottime]

My buddy in Wells ways it is eerie how cold and calm it is. He wants to buy a SUP to paddle out on days like this. Frigid.

Heavy west-southwest wind. Probably going to knock this down pretty quick.
One of the smaller ones that came thru.

I’ve never surfed north of the cape between Christmas and Easter. With good reason. Way toaster in Queens.

^Cape Elizabeth?

My kid was out at the wall that day...maybe during that vid. He surfed a few sessions that day at various spots. Wind was a little too strong, but good for holding the wave up. It was flat the next day.

[Ottime]

Cape Cod.

I used to spend my summers, and then autumns in Maine. Winters in Albany, the. NYC. Rockaway was cold enough for me, and I worked seasonal jobs while in Maine.
