I read the whole surfing post --- I'm so jealous....NYC has been the epitome of disgusting weather for the last 8 months....seriously people....take a moment to appreciate what you all have down there when it comes to aesthetic beauty and beaches.... if you have a convertible, put the top down, let your hair blow in the wind, squint your eyes from the intensity of the sun and stare out at the Atlantic and APPRECIATE all that you have... cuz all I see here are dark clouds, towers barely visible through the fog, and miserable faces of depressed people.
