I sort of just impulse purchased a blank. Greenlight had a sale and I've never really had a true hpsb. Planning 5'7"x19", which should have a pretty wide range from punchy waist high ones to winter barrels. Deep concave, 25 liters or so, stringerless eps with carbon and vector net. Bought some orange tint.
Just gotta wait till resin and glass go on sale.

Push yourself into bigger swell. You can hold your breath so much longer than you think. That I'm going to drown feeling is because co2 builds up in your lungs but after 15 seconds you don't have that feeling anymore.
That at was probably the bar advice I ever received to charge big waves.

Thanks! That helped a lot. Sheboygan waves only get high during winter so during summer they only reach about 4ft on average. I hope that someday I will be able to surf in the ocean where the swell is bigger. I will definitely keep that advice in mind. Where do you surf?

Is that in the great lakes or something? Always wanted to surf there once just for the experience.
Anyway its gonna be like 100 degrees today. Longboard waves but i'll take anything. It's been dead.
13704740:DrZoidberg said:
Yeah. Great Lakes surfing is a neat experience, it's normally long boarders but we get the occasional shortboarders which is cool too. Most people don't think of the Great Lakes as a place surf but on the right days sometimes the swell reaches 8ft. It's rad

I nearly got butt raped by some gaper's board today. He was just staring at me, so i took a lower line and went around him. Then he decided to paddle and the nose of his board stabbed me in the ass, but the side. No penetration, luckily. Also got hit by some girl's board, although it was a foamie so no damage to me my board. People need to pay attention.

Thing is probably so fast on a clean face.
Also, that feel when you have no motivation to fix your small wave board because it's not even big enough for that. Serious flat spell here as of late. I tried yesterday before work and basically rage quit and left early, which I never usually do.
topic:1337 said:I've been processing ski porn for the last month without being able to ski. My coping method? Surfing. Now that the waves are flat for the rest of the summer (or so it feels, FML) I've got nothing better to do than watch the Fiji Pro and excessive amounts of surf porn while I wait for the next hurricane. Or winter to come. Either works.
So let's talk surfing!

Surf porn you posted up at the top. Rad. Thanks for sharing.
Although i haven't seen it, John John's new movie looks epic:

Soo I'm officially going to peru for a surf trip this august to try and get a piece of the worlds longest left, beyond stoked. Anybody ventured there before and have any advice? What would you guys recumbent for a board? Should I bring or buy one there?

Finally had a couple good days on the cape and Im stoked on my PJ.
Honestly 5'5 is too short for my 5'9 140lbs dad bod. I can get up but I need a serious section behind me and need to be in the perfect spot. Id get another 5'9 if I could do it again cuz that shit would get into mushy cape cod 2ft junk with ease. The 5'5 however I have only taken out on 3-4ft days, but damn did it rip on those days. Super skatey and fast

Jealous. I always enjoy surfing a fish on point breaks. Also when the shape is really good a short board that turns well in the pocket. Bring those two ideally with a five fin set up so you can switch between a thruster and quad. Also try renting a long board for a day. Have fun!

There's been some great summer swell in West Kerry in Ireland. It's turning out to be a rad place to surf.

Ireland aside, has it been no bigger than wist high for the last month and a half for anybody else? I'm short, too, so waist high on me really isn't much of a wave. Just want to ride my new board in chest-head high stuff.

I think the models are just freaking out a bit. Swellinfo was saying it'll be massive sunday here in jersey too but I doubt it. Give it a few days and see what happens.
About to go get some tasty chest high waves on my new board though. First time it's been decent in months.

Hey everyone, so I need a longboard. I have a shortboard which I love but I'm interested in getting a longboard again for when the waves are low. My shortboard is a 5,1 and my old longboard used to be a 7,4. So if any of you are selling a used longboard/fish/fun or know anyone please lemme know. Much love!

Although... this storm is supposed to have some funky behavior. Maybe it'll be big, although I still doubt it'll be like 10ft or whatever they're calling for. I think it'll end up being unsurfable between crazy winds and big waves with like 5sec periods or something, at least here in NJ.
Anyway I got to test my new creation today, dubbed the creamsicle for obvious reasons.
It's ridiculous. I paddled out and like a chest-head high wave pops up seconds after I reach the lineup. The kid looking at it decided he didn't want it so I was like awwww shiiittttttt this is mine. The board weighs like nothing under my feet and pumps for speed so efficiently. Most of the waves I had I just got as much speed as possible then dumped it in one turn. So fun. It's easy to just make this thing slide or push it around through the lip. Speed generation is insane though and that was really my goal with this board. Waves better continue to be decent so I can keep riding it.

Yooo surf homies! I just moved to South Shore Oahu for the next few months, if anyone is in the area and wants to catch some waves shoot me a message. I'm hopefully going to be surfing 5 days a week for the foreseeable future. Also just bought a new board when I moved out here, 5'10 fish quad fin. I'll snap some photos when I have time

Just started surfing last week on my high school's surf team with 0 prior experience. Bought the legendary costco wavestorm for like $150 and stood up and rode my first wave today. That feeling, successfully standing up on a wave, brought me almost as close to how i felt with the first rail i hit skiing. I am beyond siced, can't wait to surf more! Join me in my stoke!

Lol it was pretty bad here in north/central nj. I think it cleaned up once but I was at work. Otherwise it was like victory at sea status the entire time. Saw some photos from new york though and it looked pristine.
