The trick to getting out was to combine timing with a riptide ride. If you picked your moment well, you only had to deal with two or three broken waves. T’was me, Tomas, Joe, Jeff, and Christian at Ponquogue (I think Christian was there. Can’t be sure. Sometimes when the Peconic Puffin says Christian was…

The Wolf decided not to launch, and I could see why. "Head-high short period waves"…bam bam bam bam…made getting out at Ponquogue difficult. Stand in thigh high water getting pounded, waiting for a break between the sets, then sprint like a crazy person. Required a couple tries to make it, but soon I had…

If only I'd caught it! Jeff reports: "Another magical winter session today with the Wolf, Christian, Joe & Marty. Knee to waist glassy lefts, blessed by a curious seal. Pic of Marty with the Wolf behind him." "Another" because Saturday was good too. Nice! Pic by Jeff, of course.

A Minnesota lake surfer and his buddies were recently out in 38 degree water (I've been in colder) and -12 air temps… (SAY WHAT?) Giving us a "Rule of 100" number of 26. 26. Twenty Six. That's a serious OMG number. Read all about it on Surfline. (Thanks to Brian for posting a link to…

I only caught one. A waist-high left. But after 45 minutes of wave faces that never jacked up sufficiently (or did so 50 feet from wherever I was) that one wave was sufficient. Had to be! Air temp 24, water 43…conditions were chilly, and when the wind started to come up, I headed…
