Winter storm brings some waves to the east coast
- Thread starter VaB
- Start date
not hard at all. We all make choices.
back to the matter at hand, lets see some more photos /vids of this swell.
Now that Gravy says it was the biggest ever, I feel a little better about my performance,
Just kidding for all the trolls
With all due respect to Gravy and the commenters calling it 20 feet or biggest ever......... Big day for sure. Once in 10 years kind of day perhaps. This swell was also particularly raw and unruly. Plenty of us 50+ clubbers remember bigger days. I'm sure the Surfer mag archives have the goods to prove it. Guys like Scotty Duerr surfed every big swell back in the film and magazine days I remember shots of him and others running in the magazines long before Gravy was born. Even more recently clips have been out there of guys like Hammer, Humphries and Gleeson charging mutants at home.Ben Gravy calling biggest ever! Commenters are calling 20ft
count on itAssuming that the wave did not totally close out a second after the shot was snapped.
I mean, I don’t want to agree just out of spite or jealousy, but yeah, with that wind and that beach, that wave more than likely shut down hard
have also surfed plenty of waves that size over my lifetime on Long Island. Rare, but every few to several years, whether tropical or winter coastal low. It happens.

This looks like vid of that wave- pic posted looks like it could even be a frame grab.

solid, but TBH Seems I remember plenty of days similar size/energy; pretty much every winter on LI- pre Surfline, cellphone, top knots n adult learners.

yesterday was pretty heavy. Once in every 3ish year swell. I got rejected paddling out thrice and made 3 out of 8 waves.
i don’t know if it’s memory or what but I do feel 25 years ago these type of storms were like a 1-2 per year event. Kinda miss it. Humbling being rejected and not making waves.
today was just fun waist to nipple high in the mid afternoon.

There is a reason guys from NJ and NC surf well in Hawaii. 08738 looking more like a certain spot in 96712 than most erBBers would care to admit. Second slide.
Or maybe the black female physician you called a "witch doctor" really is a witch doctor.
So effeminate with your petty little gotchas, probably keep a list for future use.
the cattiness of all the women he works with has a rub off effect, you can't fault a person's lack of awareness due to their poor environment, ignorance really is bliss sometimes
its all the vlogging brah!
PS: It’s always a bad look saying so in so looks like a wave in HI.
Firing here Sunday, and I don't think firing applies often. Strangely I thought my two photos in the 2022 surf journal thread were better than anything on 911surfreport, and they normally stand there all day.
Long period ENE x SSE blowout x offshores = funtimes. That it was on a sunny Sunday was just a gift.
Shitload of spray in the face/blind drops. Like basically every one. One of those where I talk about it, and people are all, did you get choobed? And I'm all, some for sure, maybe some more? There were a couple I had no fggn idear what happened between paddling for it and kickout.
IMHO the best thing about swells like this is it's good everywhere. Find beach. Paddle out. Good waves.
I'd been complaining about our lack of rights-up-the-beach one-and-dones. She serves me what I asked for with an extremely helpful serving of ENE with some period on it to bump up the size and length of line.
