Oh Cookie!  That looked like fun!!!!  Beautiful Wx, sites, waves, music and friends.  Good stuff.

I can't wait to surf again without a hood, gloves, and booties.......in about 3 months.  :o ;D  But loving the crowds.....rather lack thereof!

Look forward to your SoCal video chapter 2-?

Fun video. I've never seen TDude in a wetsuit--it manages to make him look even bigger. Your video convinces me that SanO would be great to foil, you could beat those sections easily, and if you didn't, it wouldn't matter.

Great video Cook!!!!- Always appreciate you taking the time to film and post your adventures.

that day at San O looked near perfect.  The kind of waves sups were designed for (Just dont tell that t the longboarder who you kinda snaked  ;D ;D ;D ;D

That was me on the longboard I wanted to share a wave with fellow LBI NJ wave rider. Was a beautiful day but man North County gets it so much better in the winter. Glad you scored Marc !

My wetsuit used to be black, but I guess I've spent a little too much time surfing the Nuc' break in front of San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station  ::)

Great to watch, and listen, see some faces with Zoner names!

Looked like fun to me!

I thought I posted this already but I couldn't find it. Anyway, same day, same waves at SanO from Cookie's video, but different perspective.

Very cool you guys are stoked on my Spot Checkin'! Muchos gracias, amigos! Sometimes I think my vids are just too "Cookie" cutter, no pun intended!
Beautiful Wx. Look forward to your SoCal video chapter 2-?
WhatsSup w/"Wx"?  :P

I've never seen TDude in a wetsuit--it manages to make him look even bigger. Your video convinces me that SanO would be great to foil.
lol...TallDude, tall heart! There are two foilers in my vid. First one is the King's guy and the second in SanoSlatchSup. I would so love to put some time in on a foil there. WAY better break for foiling than my beachies here on LBI.

lol..that's capobeachboy. He lived right on my street here in NJ in the 70s. I didn't really know him well back then and would always see him quietly walking up to the beach w/the most beautiful Con Butterfly surfboard. Everytime I'd see him would think to myself, "That dude belongs in California". One day he broke that beautiful board in the shorebreak. It had a huge colorful butterfly on the deck. That memory is tattooed to my brain!

you've got the ss3 wired--impressive res on many of the shots
My luck w/that device has been remarkable throughout the yrs.

Fun video cook. was waiting for it. keep'em coming
Gettin' ready to load the next batch. Ramps, Beacon's, and Swamis!

Was a beautiful day but man North County gets it so much better in the winter. Glad you scored Marc ! 
I can only imagine how good it must get there at San O w/a solid OH swell. Those waves must peel off all the way to the pwr plant!

Looks like a great time! Thanks for sharing.  :D
Ur welcome, surfside. Can't say I remember you evr posting on any of my vids. It was indeed a good time. Probably one of the warmest and cleanest days I caught this trip.

Where's the snow? Oh Marc is in California!
lol....we got some here in Jersey now.

Really fun video Marc, thanks for doing this!

I love Zoner meet-ups.... it shows the value of this forum on a personal level, not simply as an information blog.

All you guests out there... sign up and get in the loop!
I run into Zoners on all coasts and every country I visit!

Yea, thanx Creek. The Standup Zone has definitely had a positive influence on my life. It's been amazing meeting the online users here and then in real life. It's a long list.

lol...wish I could stay out there all winter but budget constraints would have otherwise. Just considered myself lucky to have gotten 10 days in. Made the most of it by hitting spots I missed in 2016.
And I wouldn't exactly say that nothing's happening here on the East Coast surf wise. I scored a PERFECT bluebird day since my return. 55F air and light winds with solid swell setup a looong day in the water for me. Four hrs+. Will admit the low tide beatings when caught inside were a bit frigid in the 40F water though.

Oh, yeah? Check out the surf cam at my closest beach (yes, this is the open Atlantic)...

EDIT - look in the upper left corner. It is so close to calm that you can see the reflection of the clouds on the water.

my dad's in vero, and i need to get down there from time to time--and i keep a board there--so i check forecasts and cams, trying to time visits with waves---well, ive been at this for a couple years now, and my takeaway is that there simply arent a lot of waves in FL.

sebastian used to have good waves that would refract off the inlet jetty, so there were waves there when there werent waves elsewhere on e coast of fl---but when they rebuilt the sebastian inlet jetty they ruined the refraction effect.

there is a local movement afoot to restore the original shape of the jetty, with the hope that the refraction effect can be restored

with all the $$ in wavepool tech, one would think there'd be an industry built around jetty design--less for the purpose of protecting shoreline, more for purpose of producing rideable waves

much as municipalities put in skateparks, put in wave-causing jetties................

F*cker ;D Let me know when you put your house on AirBNB. Or need a cat sitter.

Looks like you scored some great days.  I live 5min from the beach and seems like I get either ankle high or walls of death.

Fun cameo from Dave Daum at the nine min mark!
