I watched and experienced some serious beatings, the type that slam you over the falls and through the washing machine, the type that make you want to put on your skateboard helmet. Most of the time when surfers get out of the water just before dark to a west wind, it's a bad sign. Chances are that the wind will kill the swell by morning. But, since LBI is a sucking wave magnet this month, we were treated to more powerful waves for the Saturday dawn patrol session. Don't get ahead of yourself.
Spring is here.
We still have another 2 months before the real flatspell, but the patterns we love are changing. Enjoy those hairy late drops and wide-open pits while they are available. Special thanks to Kevin Cook for repairing my board so quickly after it was buckled by a nasty Surf City thumper.
