Sandbars, Jetties, Rocky points, reef breaks, slabs......

We've got them all. It's considerably overwhelming some days when the swell is on. Where to go, explore or go to the same break you've been charging for years. I love falling out of my comfort zone into a fresh discovery. New England is lettered with spots. Even after 14 years of explorations I'm still finding new places to go. This all has it's equal risks and rewards. Some days I have given up a perfectly epic day at the same old spots to satisfy my hunger for something new, something more dangerous, more shallow, heavier, etc. Sometimes this works out great. You come around the bend to see an empty lineup overhead high that wants to bend you in half if you miss your takeoff.(it's always good to bring a friend, confidence booster!) Other times, not so lucky, you spent the day driving around to various unnamed spots seeking a trace amount of swell trickling into a sheltered cove. The options are endless, meanwhile there's a crowd of 40 bros sitting on a peak somewhere.....
