“April Fools” in Jersey

There was some doubt about the swell on April 1st, 2022. Throughout March, the last few South swells had been fun–but generally not tubing.

Dorian Provides for Jersey Tube Hounds

Cane SZN! Fuck, we can’t stop saying it. We had our eyes on Hurricane Dorian for over a week and got stir crazy. We made plans to go to far-off, northern locations in hopes to “truly score.” However, as Dorian crept closer, the home zone looked like it might provide. And… she truly did. Turns […]

Sunday’s Swell Gallery

  Sunday’s forecast called for three-foot swell and thunderstorms later in the day. Swell started to blossom as the sun warmed the soggy ground. Weather and waves turned on, but were set to be ousted by cracking thunder and terrential rain.   However, at five o’ clock as I sipped from my sandy PBR can […]
