      The only wave a soft board is acceptable is the wedge. It’s too expensive to surf there otherwise. If you’re going to putting yourself in the position to surf waves of consequence you need better equipment. He might’ve been able to make that section on a 6’0-6’3 pin tail. Not only that, but it’s more fun riding something that performs better.

      Sometimes the waves are too top to bottom pitching for a longboard really. You want a little Porsche to surf it instead of a Cadillac. Doesn’t ramp up so much like alot of the Pacific Ocean breaks. Fast pitching Atlantic Surf.

    I was lifeguard in ocean city NJ for a couple of summers back in the day. One day each summer there were these huge pefect waves way out on a sandbar. Fortunately I had my body board and fins with me and caught a few while they lasted. Pefect waves are rare at the Jersey shore, but sometimes you get lucky.
