Coast to Coast: February in Panama

Every time I step on a plane or in an airport I think, I’m never going on a surf trip again. From getting bent over by airlines for board bag fees, and losing phones in taxis on the way to the airport, to the always higher-than-expected price of… everything. Is it just me, or does […]

Land of Lefts Vol. II

At this point, traveling to Costa Rica to find waves just seems too obvious. Yet, like all two-week trips, you’re always leaving some decisions up to chance: Like the possibility of sacrificing waves at home for the unknown. Fortunately, when the “unknown” is one of the longest left point breaks in the world, there’s a […]

Another OBX Affair

It’s been a decade-long love affair with the Outer Banks. All these years, the trip South has never gotten stale. Each year excitement builds, the weather wanes, and the Southern shores seem more appealing. This year was no different as whispers of the voyage called to travelers from New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and even […]

Mid-Summer Up North Trip to Montreal

All year long, New Jersey residents look forward to the Summertime. In February, these citizens oft convince themselves that living through the slow, cold days is all worth it once it gets warm. But what is easily forgotten about are all the assholes who come to NJ during the Summer months. Summer is not all […]

Surfing in Panama: “Choocha Madre”

Finally, I got around to going through all 2,000 photos from a surf trip to Panama. A job that is truly way more fun to do in the moment—wide eyed seeing beautiful, colorful things for the first time ever. Pictures never do anything this awesome the deserved justice.  But as humans, the best we can […]

Fall 2021 on OBX

Every year, the boys from South Jersey descend upon the Outer Banks of North Carolina in an attempt to get tubed, grill meat over open flame, and become wizards all in one shot. It’s often a hefty ask. However, in most years’ past, the gods of liquor and swell bless the Banks with permitting conditions […]

The Land of Lefts

I received a loud voicemail just about a week before boarding an international flight to San Jose, Costa Rica from Atlantic City, New Jersey. It went like this: “Fuuck yeah buddy! Yo it’s Andy yo. Uh, you gotta come to Pavones. Call me back, uh, whenever.” For little more than a week, Mr. Schussler had […]

HANDYCAM THE MOVIE PANAMA

“Many among us have had their minds taken over…” What a video! Start watching! It’s TG, The Scheister, Young JP, and the fiends getting absolutely shacked up in the living room in a high-octane surf flick done with the little handycam. The hoax has continued to thicken and the boys were over it this Winter […]

Springtime on the Outer Banks

Our traveling crew was elated to find somewhere to rest our heads for the evening as we checked into a last-minute Nags Head motel. It was nearly 11PM and we’d just come off some semi-severe traffic during the last leg of our Southbound drive. It was April 8th and town was bustling! Motels and hotels […]

Hurricane Paulette Swell Gallery

September 2020. This is most certainly the future, ladies and gents, a strange one at that. This month’s weather has been iffy due to five (count em) five tropical cyclone systems hanging around. Already, the 2020 Hurricane season has used all storm names on offer and will continue using the Greek alphabet (Alpha’s coming). Even […]
