August’s Post-Tropical Cyclone: ISAIAS

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 […]

“Elysium” by Quentin Turko

It’s still cold in Jersey, the waves seem to be fading as Summer nears, and that has me missing my favorite East Coast surfing arena–The Outer Banks. Scrolling through IG today, I came across an excerpt from this dude, Quentin Turko’s, new edit. It immediately made me think… I wonder what today looked like down […]

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 […]

“Exposed” by Simon Hetrick

  One of the surfers featured in our latest magazine just dropped a killer (mostly) East Coast surf edit. This was an impressive watch–to see a Maryland surfer (born in Pennsylvania) putting out a film that competes with any other pro surfers’ work in the game.     Hetrick surfs with style, without sacrificing true […]

OBX Won’t Stop Impressing Us

  Brett Barley and the Outer Banks’ most faithful have this place dialled. If you’ve never seen it in person, you almost can’t grasp how barreled these guys actually get. However, this video sure gives the viewer a good idea.   Not so sure about the ska, wanna-be-punk music. Nor are we comfortable with the […]

Grayson Undergoes Bombogenesis

On January 4, 2018 the East Coast of the U.S. experienced one of the worst winter storms the area had weathered in decades. Blizzard conditions and major coastal flooding brought way to a narrow window for winter surf. But, what the fuck is a “bombogenesis”? Why were meteorologists throwing this word around? And how did […]

“September” Short East Coast Surfing Film

September 2017 was something that may have never happened before and may never happen again. I surely cannot remember a run of swell like it. And as I talk to more surfers who are more experienced than I, the consensus is majorly the same. Whether this past month is a precursor for what’s to come […]

For the Fellow East Coast Road-Rippers

I recently stumbled upon a 42-year-old surf film which documents a classic surf trip to one of our favorite locations: Cape Hatteras.  According to Brian Tissot’s YouTube page, Dave Bence, Frank Dorenkamp, Pat Fulks and Tissot himself journeyed from Virginia to OBX and even further south to Florida in search of waves and pure freedom.
