Yea brah make sure you come to poverty beach when the wind is SE fairly hard with a nice N swell and you might score some pumping barrels maybe even fist pump worthy

looks sick. no paddle out. off shore. and hollow. you could lose track of your wave count out there. but way cold. definately a green bottle experience, maybe be even a little whiskey to boot.

On second thought, I take back what I said before. Those barrels look awful fun. How deep is it where the waves break?
Honkie Face865 days ago Unrated Rate Positive Rate Negative
ankle to knee deep...over glorified shore break
videoguy864 days ago Unrated Rate Positive Rate Negative
anywhere from 6 inches to 2ft......VERY shallow!

it never gets over tip high....he oído historias de personas que rompen más tus cuellos y más tus tablas y también dislocan hombros a menudo en este lugar. muy peligroso. rompiendo en la arena seca la mayoría de los tiempos. y arena no suave, arena duramente empacada. yo no iría allí a menos que deseara el cuello, mi tabla y mi ego rotos

Wow, If you aren't me you suck. The only good surf spot is the one I surf. The only good surfers are the ones I surf with. The only good country is the one I live in.... Truly, the best wave in the world is the one you are on!!! Great video.

1:00 now thats a stylish stall. over all thats what i wish we had on the east coast all year, nice fun surf.
jksurfsurfhanalei868 days ago -1 Rating Rate Positive Rate Negative
As for you two bickering like girls in the comments below, yeah Poverty is a sh*tty wave. It's so bad you should probably never surf it.
Mike Miller868 days ago +2 Rating Rate Positive Rate Negative
Ha, well considering I'm roughly 60 miles away you don't have to worry about me. I stick to my local spots.
jksurfsurfhanalei868 days ago +1 Rating Rate Positive Rate Negative
Nice clip Lenny. Got it like that when I was back home for XMAS. Havn't surfed 45 deg. water in a long time! Not bad when its barreling like that though. Justin

Im movin to new york next year and i was wondering if fire island or any beach in the area is any good?
beesurf868 days ago +1 Rating Rate Positive Rate Negative
There are many surf spots up and down the New England Coast, but shadowed areas like fire island are a little more fickle than the more exposed islands, but at the same time can be a little more accessible during a bigger swell event.
beesurf868 days ago +2 Rating Rate Positive Rate Negative
Further, it won't be anything like Ireland in terms of power and consistency, but there are definitely some fun surfs to be had. You just have to be on it when the waves are there. Good Luck
sdfjkljklsh855 days ago -1 Rating Rate Positive Rate Negative
Yes long island gets quite good. Even Rockaway beach, closest to the city. I'm told getting there can be a hassle though with no car.
Mike Miller869 days ago +2 Rating Rate Positive Rate Negative
Meh. Usually Cape May is not very good (this video shows that). If I had to pick a spot in NJ to go to would be Manasquan or Casino Pier. These are a bunch of poop closeouts.

Any local surfer in NJ now knows ur a kook. i can list 10-15 better less crowded spots and im sure most others can as well. ur gay
Mike Miller868 days ago +2 Rating Rate Positive Rate Negative
That's fine if you think I am a kook, but let everyone else make up their own mind. And I know that there are better spots. I don't even surf those areas often. I was speaking in general terms. I stick to Ship Bottom and Surf City myself.

I did not say "a rare run of swell", the moderator wrote that fyi..it's been pumping all winter!

Ok, so I have been sitting around, I connected this "Vid" (if you are in the "in" crowd you can refer to it as a "vid", all you other honkies call it a video) to my 70 inch flat screen and have had it on repeat for 9 hours now. I have noticed the camera is very shaky and I think the filmer had a serious drinking and who know what else problem. The only cure for this is to come to La Isla del encanto so you can blend in with everyone else and fly under the pakete.

Once again , you suck ...
Mandy's Bar869 days ago Unrated Rate Positive Rate Negative
BTW...I don't even surf places unless The waves are 4x OH!! and there are x-mas trees on the beach with big bags and rocks under them, these are my 2 prerequisites for me to challange the waves. And if I have said it once I have said it a million times.... "NOAA's Wavewatch III has been pretty dead on for this past week of swell. Magicseaweed has been pretty off. Use the little Magicseaweed chart with discretion. That's the latest forecast for surfing Puerto Rico."...What more can I say?

Mandy's Bar869 days ago -1 Rating Rate Positive Rate Negative
Looky here, The only problem I got with watching a bunch of white boys drop into some gay close outs is watching white boys who want to be black or ethnic drop into gay close outs. This is probably a sensitive spot so should not be on here. Instead of filming a bunch of honkie donkies I would be at home drinking the finest local brew of the area with ice cubes and a big big bag or "pakete" as I like to call it to help with my cataracts.
