We got hit HARD here in New Jersey. Like a foot of water got into Island Surf and Sail where we had the Sunova demo in December. I took quite a few shots of the damage and surf. Also scored some decent shots of my waves yesterday (1/24).
This thread/topic is for any pics you fellow East Coasters might have.
I kinda like the idea of naming the winter storms. Helps me to remember them.
Link here to my Flickr album of the damage and surf. There are some pics of rusted out car chassis, bumpers, and a tire that are showing now after the storm. They were dumped on the beach here on Long Beach Island after the '62 storm.

that is cool but that is some awful looking water . How od you get pictures like that of your self? Does some one take them ?

Hey Marc - rough to hear that Island Surf got flooded - hopefully it wasn't too bad. Thought LBI wasn't that badly affected by the storm and it was the coast further south towards Delaware that took the brunt. Looks like a lot of erosion to the beaches as well. Didn't get a chance to make it out since we haven't yet made the move to Oak Beach but it looked like Long Island was going off on Sunday...
-
Geeze Marc... that sucks.... Hows Jack? All his computer video Tech survive???
What will the locals do without Jacks daily dawn surf check???
Please tell Jack & Terry I wish them well and that I am thinking of them!

I haven't had a chance to get to ISS yet, waves were calling the past two days. Today had really nice clean leftover conditions. We got nailed pretty good with flooding and erosion. But Atlantic and Cape May counties got it a bit worse. Also it's really odd, for the first time ever there is a sh!t ton of gravel on the blvd. Seems the ice flow from flood waters has carried the gravel from properties onto the blvd. I heard one car already had a broken windshield.
Today's leftovers-

Jack is well...I see him pretty reg at "The Left". Also ran into him at a video showing about LBI at a local watering hole. His vid editing gear is all second floor...high n dry. I'll tell the boys you said hi. Got any pics from this swell? It was FIRING here! But spots north of "The Left" were pretty treacherous.
-
It was really disorganized Saturday, obviously. Sunday morning more of the same but it cleaned up late in the day. Throw in the AFC championship game and the first pic is what I arrived to late Sunday afternoon. Yeah it was good ;D
Second pic is a spot that I can walk to that rarely ever breaks but it was on Sunday. If you look closely on the left hand side, you can see the left that was showing just off the cliff. There were two guys out at this spot and were just riding conveyor belt after conveyor belt. Pretty awesome just to see them get so many waves by themselves.
It's been weird to be back in New England waters after spending the past 2.5 years in SoCal. It's almost starting to get lonely out there sometimes ;)

Nice shots surfercook! You guys are hardcore, that water looks so damn cold and choppy.

Thanx, Newps! (unusual user name! What's it mean?) Hey this ain't Huntington Cliffs, man! It's dirty, cold, nasty, kick your ass Jers! :P
Video here showing some REALLY bad erosion on an oceanfront property w/our buddy Jack Bushko in it! Turns out the car I drove by and snapped a picture of was from some clueless reporters who were here to cover the storm. looks like the storm covered them! Up to the axles!

That's one nice image... but where's the paddle? ;)

Nice shots kayadogg! Thanx for posting. I kinda like surfing alone sometimes, everyone needs solitude. But it's good to get in the mix regularly. That's what I like about surfing. It gets you off the pc and out interacting w/real people. RL is better than VR!

lol, that shot is off my buddy's GoPro knock off.He was head cammed up and it smacked him in the nose and cut him pretty good that day!...My paddle is totally obscured by my arms in that stance! Here's the previous frame.

Geeeze Jimmy.... call a fella back!
I am relieved to hear that the shop survived with out damage..... it didn't sound good from up here.
I called a bunch..... figured you musta had the "big one" while shoveling.... your still alive, so that's good.
-
That's great to see Jim!
-
Jimmy K, Glad you did not have to do another rebuild! PA did get crushed - my daughter and her fam still shoveling!
-
western LI had excellent waves sunday, esp late afternoon, when the wind died to nil.
got many OH waves. Few others in the water, i was with my my brother and friend, both accomplished short boarders--they were ranting envious of my wave count. nice day for me. missed monday which was said to be smaller but totally clean.
-
I'll second that it was really good up north. Only a few guys out. I had the left to myself for over an hour.
-
JimK- Glad you're gtg over there. I need to get down to Xtreme one day and actually meet you!
eastbound and addapost- Cool you guys scored. Beautiful shots adda! That was ONE helluva storm! The shortboarders where I was supping were getting THE most spectacular waves! Quite the display of heavy winter surfing in NJ!
Creek- I was in Island Surf and Sail for a coupla hrs today helping w/the last of the cleanup. They had done quite alot of work to get back to some sort of normalcy. I told em you were asking about em and say hi.

"Newps" is short or slang for Newport Beach. "Surfed Newps this morning, it was going off". :).
-
Stopped into Island Surf and Sail the other day and helped w/the last of the cleanup in there. Took three guys two full days to get it back to normal. There's a vid on their facebook of the before/after so I grabbed a few screenshots to post. Good as new in there!
-
Finally did an edit from my footage that day.
Enjoy,

Hey Cook! I just watched this again to bring the stoke level up. I've been sleeping on the floor in the hospital in TJ for a few while my wife had this stomach crisis. I'll text you more, she's o.k. Gonna surf again, got denied, beat mercilessly for an hour yesterday, too much swell for my beach. Walk 'o shame... agin. I'm not known for giving up easily, so I threw my self at it for a full hour before saying: "Man, I don't want to snap this gorgeous new board flailing out here!" Swell smaller, try again now (5:45) Oops! If I can see, I'm late, like to paddle out in the dark to start! The new board is a dream! That bowl you backdoored in the middle of the wave at 1:25 or so is soooo cool looking! I'm finishing up the "Final Feral Mix" for awhile, since the cameras are both destroyed. Dang shallow sandbar... Wish I had 'em for the honest barrel day. Stoked on your vids, even a second or third time.
