kevinneci Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Surfing in the winter is the best, nothing like duck diving and getting a nice shot of 35 degree water down your suit and your whole head goes numb and you cant even see, it is especially fun when your hung over....

cesarleo Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 I agree...this winter was been lame for surf. However, we have had one of the best fall seasons to my recent memory.....I was lucky enough to enjoy a week of quality surf out in Montauk at a few secret spots. I'll be back in the water in April....I can't do the yr round thing like I did in High School.....but I'm really itchin to catch some waves already!!!

neptune1 Posted January 17 Author Report Share Posted January 17 montauk- almost a spiritual vibe out in the water. the locals absolutely tear it up. if you dont have the nuts to make a drop down a wave, let one of the local boys have it...cesarleo-i've been spending time out there during hurricane season, friend has a summer house on the cliffs. i hear you about the cold. i am 23 and still go out all year, but that 6/4/3 is a bitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesarleo Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Hell yeah it is......i spent a week this fall with my girl out there and frequent during the spring-fall seasons when the swell is right. Ever hit Atlantic Terrace....place goes OFF!!! That rock bottom hits better than ditch.....a lot punchier too. I'm 25 and have goin out there since 13. Ever go to the Ranch or Turtle's.....dangerous but fun spot! If you never have let me know and I can give you the 411 on how to get there.

We havent had 1 noreaster yet... burn a board and say a prayer I'm surprised there are surfers on this board.......Well, being from RI, and 5 minutes away from the beach until I moved to dreary ol NYC, I used to surf some.I heard Jersey shore isn't that great for surfing anyway.

northnjguy21 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 jersey surf lol lived in cali so i mean i surfed a lil but over last summer i checked a few jersey shore spots i only seen like 2 foot breaks at most it;s not even worth geting in the water for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgmodel Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesarleo Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Long Beach has a lot of good spots during the winter months b/c it's protected from different winds. As for Hemlocks.....well I haven't been there since a little grom in high school. I hear it gets good but you either gotta take the boat or four wheel it. One spot I can tell you that is almost always pretty empty that hists right at a lower tide is EAST TOBAY! You just bang a right upon entering the parking lot all the way to the last entrance...walk through and about a hundred yards to your left. It's so empty that I kinda want people to go there.....and it gets pretty good!!! I surfed there a lot when I knew other spots would be crowded over the summer and you just get it to yourself. Hit some big swells there.....kinda scary though when there's like only one other guy out down the beach a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgmodel Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 i hear that... i get freaked out when its like just me and someone else, its either be crowded or noone at all... IMO... especially those weirdos/hobo's that hang around and talk to you about freak and frak, and you dont know what the hell their talkin'bout...

neptune1 Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 tobay, ive never heard of that. i will check it out. i heard that hemlocks is either a long hike or a 4 wheel permit deal. thanx for the advice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
