Spindrift Surfboard for sale- reduced to $225

noreply@blogger.com (sak) — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 12:09:00 +0000

OK, eastcoastsurfer.com fans, it's time for some spring cleaning, which includes selling off a number of boards. First up is a 5'8" x 22" x 2.5" Sprindrift Keel fish. One small ding on tip of tail during shipping was expertly and perfectly repaired, so zero water intrusion and can't detect it by touch. Slight stresses at bases of keel fins (but zero damage to boxes), but have held up just fine over the last year since it happened). Other than that, excellent condition and ready to surf or hang on the wall as rideable surf art.

04/10/12: Let's throw in a $25 price drop for fans of eastcoastsurfer - tell me you saw it here and and get it for $225

Check out the new quick site by Conor Willem!

Conor says:
"So much talent on the east coast that gets over shadowed by the rest of the world because of the inconstant surf that we have, The talent is here but the waves are not. We are the Wasted Youth"

I second that!

All surfing, no BS

noreply@blogger.com (sak) — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 17:29:00 +0000

Connor Willem makes a statement: no set-up, no drive-to-the-beach, no lifestyle crap, no artsy-fartsy BS. Just surfing. Agree/Disagree?

Very interesting.... I was wondering when something like this would come along.

Maybe this will replace the rider-facing nose-mounted GoPro footage I loathe. haha. - Sak

Feb 18th: Freeze for a Cause (Dean Randazzo Cancer Foundation)

noreply@blogger.com (sak) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:48:00 +0000

Reminder: The Dean Randazzo Cancer Foundation's 5th Annual Freeze For a Cause event will be held this weekend. While the wave outlook looks less than stellar, the after-party/fundraiser at the Crab's Claw in Lavallette will most likely be epic.

More details can be found at www.deanrandazzocancerfoundation.org and the Crab's Claw's facebook page.

LBI surf video

The LBI "Wrecking Crew" recently put out this short video of an ongoing project to document the surf and talent of LBI.

Here is the original video:

How does that song go? "I wanna be a billionaire so frickin' bad....".... so I can build a wavepool like this!

NJ to HI travel blog

noreply@blogger.com (sak) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:43:00 +0000

Longtime acquaintance "Moonie" recently relocated from NJ to HI and chronicled the move and his time now spent there. An entertaining collection of words and photos as he drove cross-country, spent some time exploring the CA coast, and eventually made his way over to the rock.

The blog displays in reverse-order (most recent on top), so backtrack through the blog to virtually take the journey along with Moonie and his girlfriend.

Surfline's Punt of the Year contest

noreply@blogger.com (sak) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 21:22:00 +0000

A compilation of some of the sickest airs of the last year. $10k awarded to the best air caught on video. Some sick stuff in this collection so far; I'm partial to Flynn Novak's flip and Gorkin's inverted rotation.

Why you should never bail your board

noreply@blogger.com (sak) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 02:59:00 +0000

This video not an NJ clip (it's C-street in CA) and is a bit brutal to watch, but a good reminder as to why you should never bail your board.

Word is the guy who ate the bailed longboard was unconscious for 3 minutes and got 27 stitches to the face.

Nice NJ videos by Corey Senese

Well, obviously the high pressure held off much longer than originally modeled, so instead of going offshore and blowing conditions down and out by daybreak, it created a "backdoor cold-front" boomin' South swell, testament t0 how much can change when slight changes/inaccuracies happen in the models.

A few videos of the results have been showing up on YouTube; here are a few until I find some more.

I'll be honest with you, it's F*(King killing me I was out of town and missed this one.

NubTV year in review

noreply@blogger.com (sak) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 16:50:00 +0000

Pat Pat Taylor tells it likes it is, musing on Kelly Slater's success (and baldness), Dean Randazzo/Sam Hammer/the Garden State Grudgematch , Bobby Martinez's quitting the tour, Brazilians, Surfline, ESM, SUPs, etc. A spoof well-done.

Coil shapers featured on Surfline feature

noreply@blogger.com (sak) — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 02:22:00 +0000

As you all know, I'm a die-hard fan of Coil technology. Surfline just ran a feature on Brevard County, FL, the East Coast epicenter of surfboard R&D, and the Coil Crew was represented on slides #5 and 7.

Check out the whole feature at Shaper's Alley: Brevard County
