Winter Sessions- January 2019
« on: January 30, 2019, 04:08:26 PM »
Not a bad start to 2019! Only a broken leash so far. My winter suit is an O'Neil Pyro-Tech 5.5/4 hooded full. It was sent back after two seasons to have the fws reglued. This is the fourth season for it and it's starting to leak just a bit. Still pretty warm when I'm not gettin' flushed in 40F water on bigger days!
  Sooo afraid for my Hull Ripper that it's gonna break again! It's way more fragile than the bamboo construction.
Stay stoked , Zoners!......and warm! Polar vortex just arrived here in NJ!

Armchair SUP surfing usually doesn't make my bursitis ache...  ;D

Some nice rides when the wave had a nice pattern to the break. Some of those that just crashed hard full length didn't give you a lot of options.  Brr...

You are so lucky to live down in NJ where it's warm.

Check out these pics taken last week in NH. You know it's cold when you have ice forming on you.

  8) Keep smilin sns.

That was cold! It doesn't look it but the last segment in the sunshine was really cold. My hands got numb after about an hr and I had to beach it for a bit and thaw out b4 another go.

lol.  ;D

Wow...that looks freezing cold......well done. You are hard core! Makes the west coast look downright balmy.
lol...I'm so used it at this point but it can get extra challenging sometimes. That swim in was pretty rough.

Thanks for providing my "sup fix" at this time of the year. You looked good riding your Hull Ripper.
lol...I remember you mentioning the sup fix b4! I guess a video fix is almost as good.  8)
Thanx on the Hull Ripper comment. I really like that board.

lmao!  ;D Those frozen faces cracked me up!

Thanks for the soloshot footage!!! Awesome!!!
Was my pleasure. Awesome of you to comment.

I don't know how you guys do it...

This morning was 68°F, the water temp was 72°F, and I was in a 3/2 full suit...

I guess it was always out of necessity. Funny that there are so many surfers who never experienced the real cold stuff. It's a unique experience that's for sure.
Warmin' up here now in The Northeast this past week. We had a record storm that really set up for a full day of waves. Beautiful 70F offshore temps all day. Water was like 48F. I was, and still am benched w/a bum shoulder. Been doing physical therapy sessions twice daily. So I shot a few pics. My old Canon sx50 bridge cam jammed the other day in the wildlife reserve when I dropped it in the sand...luckily a bit of silicone spray freed up the lens.
The goofy footed rider was one of the first sup surfers here where I live. 
  Click on the collage to really see the hi def that cam still delivers.
