Fortunately there are many setups that are like this today - not difficult to get great waves alone for the willing.A sandbar could light up, you keep your mouth shut n then might have it empty for quite awhile. There were places with no names, no landmarks, no public (even for townies) parking that would light the fck up and would have it literally empty.. for years. I’d bet a cookie that one in particular is still like that; a very long barreling setup- in eastern Suffolk county but not in any town named in this thread.
I never get to surf with those guys as they are usually drinking in the lot (post surf) by the time I get down there, but the BMC guys I do know are all good guys - CK is the man!I'll get CK to send you a promo kit.

Ha! Those guys are drinking in the line-up.
Calm ya nipples, The spot literally does not exist anymore.Naming spots and and descriptions of areas - perfect for a thread on kookiest locals. You’ve won, well done!
No fcking sh!t. incidentally- right around the corner on a large day a girl got sucked out, her dad “swam” out to save her -she was saved but he drowned. lifeguards swimming around the lineup, hovercraft flying around. Very sad; dont remember what year that was…Calm ya nipples, The spot literally does not exist anymore.

I deleted that last post for you, but I wasn’t “naming spots” I was talking ing about a distant era across a 20 mile stretch of beach, I’m hardly drawing a road map to well guarded secrets. They’re all almost always dumping crappy chopped up close outs. But that’s what I grew up surfing for the most part.Naming spots and and descriptions of areas - perfect for a thread on kookiest locals. You’ve won, well done!
There is still a regular crew there that knows who is who, we all got assigned a number as part of the OB jetty crew but it has definitely been diluted with lots of newer faces in the last few years. And yes, hilarious acts that occur there, more so than just about any other spot I have witnessed.That one seems a case of so many locals no one knows whose a local.
The fights between locals are the best.
Lots of funny stuff witnessed there.
I‘m definitely over-eggy about this stuff. Part of it comes from putting in the time to find, and figure out spots and being bummed that this now seems to be the exception, rather than the general practice of surfers. That practice and effort always been part of the joy of surfing for me. I should just keep my trap shut n be happy that I still get to surf good to excellent waves - mostly uncrowded or even solo quite often.I deleted that last post for you, but I wasn’t “naming spots” I was talking ing about a distant era across a 20 mile stretch of beach, I’m hardly drawing a road map to well guarded secrets.

I promise you, the influx of new residents and adult learners currently inundating those towns is far more impactful than a post on the internet talking generally about the vagaries of surfing a fairly large area with not really much to say for itself expect when you do get lucky with some random sand bar. Those aren’t secret spots, those are usually just a lucky few hours that aren’t see again at whatever random stretch of beach you happen to stumble upon.
My favorites are the guys who insist on surfing crowded spots, then bitch about it. "Wah! Someone burned me at Swamis"I‘m definitely over-eggy about this stuff.
