The Other Side of the Dirt

Early morning drive to find some ride-able surf. Between replenishment and storm beaten beaches, it was slim pickens with the high tide, but there were a few good spots. Ended up here for a couple hours.

Starts off a little slow, but overall, a quality video of SS.

You Weren't Right

Between every media outlet's "in depth" coverage of the snow and every Tom, Dick and Harry's coverage (i.e. blogs, facebook photos, twitter updates), I've about had it with snow. Not the snow itself, just the constant talking about it. That doesn't mean I'm not good for a couple more pictures, because if the internet has taught us anything, its that it can give the unimportant the illusion of being important (this blog for example who's readership probably has dipped to new lows). On with the show:


Started digging out early yesterday to hopefully make it over to Ocean City. Pretty tough job...


Until you turn the corner and see the rest of the driveway. Life's not hard you're just soft.



Was dug out by lunch and headed over to OC in the afternoon. 10th street looked fun, but wasn't sure what the rock situation was with all the erosion. Found this stair set up that looked fun as hell with a sled or snowboard.

Skipped over 7th, mainly because it was a mess including a guy ripping around on a quad. So I pulled up to the next spot and it had about five guys out and looked super fun. I grabbed a couple pictures before heading out in the water. Being that I had surfed in a week or two and had just shoveled snow for three hours, I opted for the less consistent side of the jetty, especially since there was a guy shooting pictures and wanted to avoid any documentation in case I was rusty.
The offshores made it a little tricky getting into the wave, but held you up pretty nicely for noserides like this unnamed fellow is heading for.
I think I took this one before I went out. Mystery rider with good form. Wetsuits make it tough to recognize who's who, but this guy was ripping on his single fin.
In case the water wasn't enough of a workout, you could stop by the outdoor gym at 919 and work out. Why would you want to work out after surfing: Because Stone Cold says so!
Cold, but not cold enough to make it an uncomfortable session. All things considered, I really didn't feel cold until I was a block or two from my driveway.

Snow today means some waves tomorrow. Been sampling some youtube videos to get my mind off of shovels and rocksalt and start thinking about noseriders and empty breaks:

Tears of Blood

After mother nature decided to dump almost two feet of snow on South Jersey, all in all it was a fun weekend. Had a lot of fun doing all the typical snow activities: sledding, snowman making, snowball throwing and of course, shoveling, lots of shoveling (Tears of Blood, yo). Lots of people in the CMC lost power, but luckily, we never did, so I'd say all in all we we had a good weekend. Discovered a great sledding spot a block or so behind our house but didn't bring the camera. Took a slew of pics, but here are a couple:

Above is our street...pretty much one of the 1 or 2 major roads in the area (besides the parkway, this is New Jersey afterall). Saturday afternoon.


Sunday morning. Good thing I am keeping one of my boards in the garage instead of in the Better Off Shed. Might have been tough to get into.


We feel its important to instill a good work ethic early. It's not like we made her shovel the driveway.

Found an old bodyboard and decided to try and break some bones in the front yard. Managed to stay in one piece and take a couple drops.


Somebody had an unnatural obsession with snow angels, to the point where she would just sporadically collapse in the snow and say "SNOW ANGELS!" while making a new one. This practice was repeated at least 100 times in the morning.

Didn't get out to surf on Sunday, mainly because there was too much to do, but looks like some swell for Thursday, which I am amping on already.

Salad Days

This rules and makes me feel less like an old man going to shows:

2 Feet High and Rising

Anybody hear something about some snow that's on the way?

S.U.P.ertouch

Remember when rollerblading was popular? The S.U.P is the frootbooter of surfing world. Janitors are for cleaning up, not sitting in the line up.

Taste My Sin

Hit up AC the other week to grab some food at Angelo's.

It was pretty empty so I was able to grab a picture of every Red Sox fan's nightmare. If I had one complaint about the joint, is the lack of Phillies memorabilia. If you're ever in town, forgo whatever trendy garbage is at the Quarter or the Borgata and go here.

Welcome to My World

Finally posted up on KO films is the Get Real set from the Stelton. Probably my favorite OTHER set from the Floorpunch show. Get into it. Who cares that the layout is too big...

If that set didn't win you over, here's a leeway cover:
