Jawsome paraphernalia for ocean-goers who want to pay respect to the Gs of the sea. By: Britt Mattie (somewhere elsewhere – @_bmattie_) Nightmarish predispositions of the slippery taxman were placed in our heads back in the summer of ’75 when JAWS hit the big screen. In the wake of its manic response, Hollywood and media-driven paranoia […]
There’s no denying the Tropical Storm Isaias era of this Summer 2020 provided for East Coast surfers. In the week before Isaias, there was a 12-second, ESE swell that ignited an end-of-July & early-August surf fest. Isaias was lighting up Florida & the Southeast as NJ received fun, chest-high South swell conditions before the day […]
Up until this point, URN Surf Co. and Rambler Surf Magazine have quit sharing live updates and timely photos of waves during the COVID Quarantine / Lockdown. This was in an effort to draw less attention to beaches that were in danger of being shut down. However, as NJ and the rest of America take […]
On February 2020’s first Friday, NJ experienced a large South swell that had been forecasted something like 7 ft. @ 11 secs. It’s hard to say if the resulting surf matched that prediction; however, the day’s session turned out to be one that will be remembered. Some of the most hi-octane and longest righthand tube […]
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 […]
2019 had some tubes. As I sit here hoping for a 1.9 ft 7sec swell to longboard in the morning, it seems 2020 is off to a slow start. Mr. Latch recounted 2019’s flavor and energy in this here short YouTube film above. Blending clips of 2019’s bodyboard tubes and fishy jives, DJ Surfology mixes […]
Ho Stevie! is a company I learned about after owner, Steve took interest in our very own, Rambler Surf Magazine. Steve was nice enough to let us try his company’s traction pad and shortboard leash. In the video above, I reviewed the Ho Stevie shortboard leash at 6-foot size. After ripping through the packaging with […]
2019 would not go quietly into the night! On the very last day of the year (as well as the decade) surfers received a combo swell chock full of East, with subtle South to back it up. The resulting surf wasn’t huge in most locations. However, a few areas received some overhead tube opportunities. For […]
Gonna choke back the tears as I write this… While we were already missing Summer’s warmth–getting these 35mm shots developed really affirmed the death of Summer ’19. Hurricane Season is coming to an end (holding out hope for a late season swell) and the next thing in vision is–dare I mention her–Wintertime. The air is […]
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, […]
