Just general surfing stuff

[pinhead]

mornings are better for crowds.
it's a euro type vibe for that.

less kooks early.

give me a Pm if you like and I'll give you a tailored forecast.
tailored to minimize crowds, maximise tidal phases.

Yes please. If I can get the trip approved by the committee, I would much appreciate that.

Speaking of which, what's the surf like around the end of March down your way offy?
Thinking of heading to the banks.
What sort of wettie will I need?

We were planning a ski trip but the quarantine requirements are pretty restrictive.

[offshore1]

Hey boo, Outer Banks will be considerably cooler than farther south down here. I'll be in a 3-2 or a spring suit.
3-2 or 4-3 for the Banks.
March can be mercurial, anything from strong nor'easters to gentle southerlies and just about everything in between.
If a big cold front blasts offshore, the Banks catch more of that north swell than we do.

[alakaboo]

You'll be in a springie?
Might have to drive a bit further.

[offshore1]

As I'm sure you know, the warm Gulf Stream veers sharply seaward at Cape Hatteras, it meets the cold Labrador Current coming down from the north. Water is significantly chillier there than here.
Outer Banks have more powerful surf though due to its far smaller continental shelf.

decisions, decisions, alakaboo! what shall we do?

[steve shearer]

go the outer banks.

what about sailing a sharpie in Chesapeake Bay Boo?

[alakaboo]

Looks grand Steve, perhaps in spring.
Annapolis is a pretty rad little sailing town, lots of hipster cafes and serious money.

I need a new wettie, wherever we go

[offshore1]

Back zip or chest zip?

[alakaboo]

I was actually thinking zipless.

I prefer chest zip on spring suits and back zip on steamers, but mainly because o'neill suits fit me best.

[steve shearer]

got your paddling arms ready Pinhead?

[pinhead]

got your paddling arms ready Pinhead?

As ready as a they can be attached to an inner city cube monkey. Swell outlook is glorious what about the wind?

[steve shearer]

it'll be fine.

leave the epoxy lightweights at home.

[Thud]

Some clip called “The Scrubber” with Tom Curren now. He still looks pretty great

[godsavethequeen]

How good was the intro Thud? None of that walking through the airport driving along in your rental car shit that every other surf film wastes five minutes of your life with

[Beanpole]

That was a hoot. Watched for a second time tonight. It's actually funnier the second time. It's so off the wall on the first viewing.

The Wheel of Fortune stuff? Bit of a laugh.
