Kicking off November with More Fun Surf
Happy Halloween everyone! Well...you’re probably getting tired of hearing us say it, but here it is again: MORE WAVES ON THE WAY! As we depart from a great October, it’s looking like some fun surf is in store for the Northeast (...again) to kick off November. Let’s get into the specifics. High pressure over New England and New York moves offshore this afternoon. A series of low pressure systems and their associated cold fronts will cycle through the area from Thursday to Satu
Product Reviews on Some Winter Goodies
Good morning people, After my toe-and-ear-numbing surf session yesterday morning, it is apparent that our beloved fall weather has become a fleeting memory. It’s late October – thicker jackets, beanies, 4/3 mm wetsuits, booties, etc. are now musts (*sigh*). Although this transition is bittersweet, we are excited for what this winter has in stock for the Northeast. We have therefore dedicated this blog post to inform you all about the soft and hard goods we are carrying in our

As East Coast surfers, it i
INTRODUCING QUIKSILVER & ROXY WETSUITS

Columbus Day Weekend Surf Courtesy of Hurricane Leslie
Good morning everyone, Looks like yet again we have more above-average surf to get excited about this weekend, as Hurricane Leslie continues to stay put in the mid-Atlantic and produce swell for the northern half of the Eastern Seaboard. Let’s get into… The two ensembles, the Euro Wave model and WaveWatch 3, are showing some disagreement on the exact swell direction to expect in RI this weekend, but both agree that Saturday should receive the bulk of the swell – ~3 - 5ft @ 14
