Swordfish. Yes, couldn't believe it but 16th ave in Belmar was "crowded" at 4 pm?! I remember when I used to have balls...

A few rock stars in the water right now. Conditions will get bigger and better with the incoming tide.

that's pretty cool, you may know my in-laws former neighbor as he was big into winter surfing in Manasquan as well, his name is JohnV and was in Fanwood, but now in Westfield

The surf in Westfield sucks right now.....Probably some good cross country skiing though.

Looked good on the beach cam. Looked great on the beach!

Kind of bitter I couldn't sneak out there this afternoon. Looks quite nice. Sadly it will likely be blown flat by tomorrow morning.

Trails are soaked, but tomorrow’s surf forecast is calling for a waist to shoulder high south swell, offshore winds and unseasonably warm air temps. Shaping up as a great day to surf!

Monday did not disappoint. Was chest to head and around 60 degrees out. Enjoyed a much needed mental health day.

Looks like a bunch enjoying this crappy weather. Crowded line up.

Wasn’t bad this morning at dawn. Chest high offshore and temps in the 40’s...I’ll take it.

1st wave since Feb 2018 just before injury. It was gooood!

Nice shot from last Saturday in Spring Lake. Couldn't see what I got until I got home. Don't know who it was but certainly, right place at the right time.

Been forced off the bike due to injury lately, but I can still surf. King Neptune must have taken pity on me, as he gave us solid swell with offshore winds for the past three weekends! It's definitely made not riding more tolerable.

Got to paddle out and share waves with a couple of friends I haven't surfed with in ages. One of which was riding a hollow wooden longboard he made with the help of the Grain crew up in Maine. Really a work of art. Best time I could have off a bike!

Me too. My Buddy Dave does nice work. He had shaped wooden boards on his own before doing the grain, and had nothing but positive things to say about their program.

He's got a mini-simmons in the works that is almost ready for glass and since he surfs longboards almost exclusively, and I'm more into shortboards, I'll be the test pilot for this one. Can't wait!

I've gotten to see the process and the construction is pretty intense. You need to own a lot of wood clamps!
