In Search of Waves - Travel Tips To and From the New Jersey Surf and New York Surf Area / rincon feb 7-13

« Last post by three_fins_out on Today at 01:27:10 PM »

I just got back from Rincon this week.  Small surf, but was able to get some waves.  Most days the handplane was the call though.  Hopefully, the pattern changes and they start to get some solid swell.  From talking to locals it's been a pretty slow winter down there.

Pr is so fun...last winter trip,was awesome and many a pumping day. Guess full la Nina years are the time to go. Rincon was soooo crowded though

On fuel TV tonight @ 7:30 East. Probably the reason they don't have the full heat on demand at the website.

HeyTLS, that Slayer type board looks money, do you mind me asking how much you weight.I am a rather petit  gentleman :-). I am thinking of going with 6'0" like Dorado suggested.

Both work . I'd say for open ocean hollow reef breaks wher the waves move very fast and have a lot of energy the longer thinner thing is what has always worked . In tighter hollow beach breaks I've been rethinking this and find if the wave is a wedge peak very common to jetties I can get away with a bit wider and shorter as long as I can roll in quick and get the rail set . When the waves are back less freighters which require an air drop under the lip a  little more rail line helps me connect and not bounce and pull up into the pocket especially backside .
All things being equal if you are not quick to your  feet and a strong paddler it really doesnt matter what you ride its I've the falls city anyway .
I would make for you mark a 6'0 wide point 2" forward domed deck meat on the chest soft low rail up front to hard down in the rear pocket rocket 5 fin boxed rounded pin . Make the nose about 1/2-1" wider at the 12" mark . Basically the Slater deep six all the benefits of a semi gun in a squashe version . All the shakers are making them now . Sawed off shot guns , deep six , pocket rocket , rock up , Slayer .... Etc

spending a lot of time chasing barrels in jersey has changed my mind about which boards are best. Too much length doesn't seem the best for those waves. the drops are quick and steep, and the barrels are small. Even if the waves seem big at first the barrels are often pretty tight.

For longer period open ocean big stuff I think you can benefit from a longer board. or if the barrels are wide, but for around here, smaller, but still with volume, seems better.

This thread has some info: http://www.nynjsurf.com/forum/buy-and-sell-the-surfboard-exchange-on-nynjsurfcom/wtb-6364-rusty-slayer-type-board-t32987.0.html

and the board I went with: http://www.nynjsurf.com/forum/shapers-shack-surfboard-repair-restoration-and-shaping-tips/slayer-type-board-t33330.0.html

keep in mind this is coming from a very mediocre surfer. I just want to get in, under the lip and in the tube.

Ok I know, with the serious flatness going on it is hard to think about ever needing a good wave board.
The thing is, I have a 6'3"R Clark blank sitting around and I already have more small wave boards than I know what to do with.


My question is this: For head high and up hollow beach break is it better to go long and thin or short and fat?

Def a small SE swell in the water... Key word is small. Wind is crossing it up a bit and making mostly sectiony closeouts. Another foot or so, and I'd be wet by now. If the wind goes a bit more NE tonight...?
