Hurricane Paulette Swell Gallery

September 2020. This is most certainly the future, ladies and gents, a strange one at that. This month’s weather has been iffy due to five (count em) five tropical cyclone systems hanging around. Already, the 2020 Hurricane season has used all storm names on offer and will continue using the Greek alphabet (Alpha’s coming). Even […]

Numbskulls Score Again

Yet another quality edit out of Ryan Simalchik and gang. Before Christmas, the crew drove north to East Coast Canada where Winter was already in full force. NJ surfer Rob Kelly met up with Nova Scotian barrel hound Logan MacLennan in order to find the outer reef slab of slabs. Seemingly perfect A-frames bucked the […]

Big Waves At the Big Apple

The first full week of October (aka OcTUBEr) pumped for four days straight on Long Island, NY. The swell event started on a Wednesday October 9th, 2019 and carried on for the better part of a week-long keg fest. Safe to say Long Island residents were getting copious barrels the entire run of swell. Thursday, […]

Good Old Weekend Trip South

  Get drunk with a the “pros” at the Belmar Pro during a 60-degree rain storm with 20mph East winds, or send it to beautiful North Carolina for the weekend. The choice was easy.   There is nothing better than driving along Route 12 and pulling over on a random beach to score an empty […]

Way of the Road West Podcast: California

In this podcast the individuals speaking are creeping just as close to their destination as they are to a dehydrated death. Ryan and Brendan ended at Utah when they last spoke, and now they talk about their trip, the things they’ve seen, and how 2 hours from San Diego just doesn’t feel real. The conversation deepens, and the travellers seek out the meaning […]

Way of the Road West Podcast: Missouri

Brendan and Ryan are headed West, and they lost their journal. On the road without lined paper and the trusty #2, they started decaying mentally. So the boys hit the record button in order to keep them sane, and to prevent others from making the same mistakes that they did. The boys hope that this podcast is funny, and informative–cause there’s more of […]

Fiona and Friends Find Iceland

Usually in late Spring, NJ residents are preparing to swap their 5 millimeter wetty for something a bit thinner and without a hood. Fiona Mullen, Andy Schussler, Tommy George, and Connor Monaghan opted for the opposite. Yesterday, I talked to Fiona, a 20-year old, surfer, and photographer from NJ about her trip around the beautiful […]
