Orlena- CODE RED SWELL!
« on: February 02, 2021, 09:18:10 PM »
Was an impressive storm and produced equally impressive surf. Quite challenging. Good to see the shortboarders, long boarder, and sup all copacetic. At first when I got there I was apprehensive about paddling out. After 15 mins I decided to pull the trigger, paddled right out no problem, and lucked into a bomb first wave. 40FWater- 35F air. WNW wind around 10-15 with some stronger gusts.
..and that bailout was spooky.

CODE RED Swell!!

One could go into a mall in Kansas and ask a teenager "What is a surfer looking for?, and the answer will always be, "The perfect wave"

You lost me at "40° water" LOL. Great shots, though.

Cookie,

You're tough. After watching your video, I went to a site that monitors the water temperature at my favorite sup surfing spot, Surfside. The water temperature there was 59 degrees F which is still too cold for me since I don't wear a wetsuit.

As always, thanks for sharing your videos.

way to test that shoulder!  I didn't go out in NY as it looked a bit gnarly, and it was!  kudos for you to brave the cold for some really nice waves!

Beauty wave in that first shot and the board is perfectly positioned, but it still looks weird when you hold the paddle with one hand.   :)

That bail out was similar to the predicament I was in a month ago. Not as big of a wave, and I was failing on my back with the board coming over the falls straight into my ribs :'( Just now feeling like I could actually paddle without the stabbing rib pain. Keep charging Cookie. I will:)
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

Thanks for sharing Mark!! Yep, I did the 15 minute wait too but first I did the search for a forgiving spot ! An hour later, none to be found.  It was so unforgiving that the temps were the least of the concerns. You really surfed the conditions well. I just grabbed as high a line as I could and hung on. Every once in a while I got lucky but there was a price to be paid for being unlucky! Hope you got some today!

I'd like to think I go out in anything.  Never Miss a Session!

However that was above my pay grade.  Ohhhh My Goodness!

Cold and brutal.  Love the demonstration of knee paddling when it is all that will work to get through the break.

Nice Cookie! New York was pumping and strangely hardly anyone out at my local. A pretty easy paddle out - solo and dry - I only spotted 4 others several hundred yards down the beach. Caught several clean lefts which convinced a couple others to come brave the conditions with me.  I was glad to see them as I got slammed pretty hard when I tried to take a right - ended up bruising some ribs and it could have been worse. It usually closes out during large swells at low tide around me, but the period and direction was just right to create make-able sections. 

But it was well worth it and I actually never really got cold (even trudging through 2ft snow drifts). I'm loving my new Vissla 5mm - note that if you have a Surfline Premium membership you can get 20% off.  But I guess it was cold enough - my phone was too frozen to allow me to get a shot after I wrapped around sunset...
