Yes, There ARE Sharks In The Ocean.

   

 As many of you know there has been a lot of bustle regarding our fierce friend  Mr. Great White. They've been here for who knows how long. Ten years ago if you mentioned anything about a Great White Shark in New England people would look at you like you were crazy. Guess what? It's true!!! Going to visit the head of our lovely Ocean friend scientists left behind washed ashore in Westport, MA after performing a necropsy. The fish was healthy at the time of death. If that wasn't enough of a wake-up call there have now been numerous sightings in the waters off of Fairhaven, MA.

Cape Cod's Mr. Shaun VEC and Bradley Louw Dropping the cage for the first time

Marine Biologists, hop on in!

 

      Now let's talk about Cape Cod, the food source for our revered predator is plentiful off Monomoy Island, yet, there was an attack up in the Truro area.....So with some rough triangulation calc's THE GREAT WHITE POPULATION HAS BOOMED. They are everywhere. Time to step out of reality and into the movie Jaws. The cage goes in today, the news crews are swarming and I'm at home waiting for first hand pictures and/ or video. Time to go visit our beheaded Mr. White in hopes that there may be a few teeth left to salvage as a token of respect. Nice week of swell coming up :D nice to know we'll be sharing the same venue with such an amainzg creature.

I've been surfing large waves lately

It doesn't take much. To keep the stoke alive becomes a battle like none other. When you've been there. When you've walked away unscathed, clean and humbled in the best way possible. Riding liquid mountains like you have never seen before. Our day will come as it all ways does. To deal with the waiting between sets, between storm fronts, sunrises, sunsets, moon phases, years, decades, a hundred years, as much of a part of surfing as waiting for snow is for the white wave. Travel ponders and hopes of arcaine barrels of pure sunlit glory plague the mind. The most pure circuit charging the soul in the most indescribeable way. Still we remain Hungry. Like an animal of its own kind; Of it's own breed. A seperate extension of the mainstream. We are the water walkers, the storm riders.
        My only vice has been music. It has consumed me. Music and arbory. Day in day out. I have a climb and I make music. Waves come in all shapes and sizes. I like the ones made of salt water the best. It's all I crave. 6ft @ 16 seconds. For 2 weeks straight. Light variable winds 3-5kts. Just enough swell and wind variation so I can take 2 weeks from work to explore every nook and cranny that the oh so promising New England coastline has to offer. Swell and a long sought after boat trip. I'm ready Nature. Are you? I'll be waiting.....

DAMN

Hang in there.

As flat as the Ocean has been and as mediocre as a season that it has been there are so many waves to ride.

Vibration is a mechanical phenomenon whereby oscillations occur about an equilibrium point. The oscillations may be periodic such as the motion of a pendulum or random such as the movement of a tire on a gravel road.
Vibration is occasionally "desirable". For example the motion of a tuning fork, the reed in a woodwind instrument or harmonica, or the cone of a loudspeaker is desirable vibration, necessary for the correct functioning of the various devices.
More often, vibration is undesirable, wasting energy and creating unwanted sound – noise. For example, the vibrational motions of engines, electric motors, or any mechanical device in operation are typically unwanted. Such vibrations can be caused by imbalances in the rotating parts, uneven friction, the meshing of gear teeth, etc. Careful designs usually minimize unwanted vibrations.
The study of sound and vibration are closely related. Sound, or "pressure waves", are generated by vibrating structures (e.g. vocal cords); these pressure waves can also induce the vibration of structures (e.g. ear drum). Hence, when trying to reduce noise it is often a problem in trying to reduce vibration.

Talk waves

Ride thE ViBes

Hang in there.

Either that

or

 hop a jet to Tahiti....

Losing my marbles.....

It's ok. Bear with it. Overhead swell will come eventually. Until then ride the concrete wave or grab your favorite off-road beach cart and tackle some gnarly terrain! Tiverton Skatepark is epic aside from the prominent risk of slaming into little kids. Going a bit loony. Last decent session was over 4 weeks ago. Feels like hurricane time.

Receptivity and the law of attraction

How are you supposed to recieve more when you aren't already happy with what you've got?
It's a statement that can be disected for days weeks or even an entire lifetime. The universal law of attraction states that like particles are naturally drawn towards one another. It's a proven fact. Science has gotten involved in human emotion correlating it with meditation techniques and ancient knowledge to prove that a lot of what our human minds deem impossible IS actually possible. Most people are blind to the energies of their own minds and bodies as well as the people around them. Think happy thoughts, live well, eat right and proper, and keep a smile on your face no matter how dismal it may seem it could always get worse. OR if you want to look at it the way that will attract positive things into your immediate surrounding.....it always gets BETTER. Couple shots from Nantasket and Cape Cod. Stay alive. Pray for groundswell! - FNP

CINCO DE MaYO

Our climate is shifting. This summer will hopefully be one to be remembered for warm weather and epic swell. We've all got a bank account filled with waves because we've all been ripped off this winter season. That's fine with me though, I've got a good feeling about summer / fall. As for this spring......all I can say is flatness for another week and skatepark weather is prime. Tiverton just got a new park.....not sure if it's any good yet. Thinking about a trek to Greenside skatepark next rainy day. Happy Cinco De Mayo! FNP will be cutting loose in Providence at the Westminster St. celebration starting @ 4pm today. T shirts coming soon. Stay tuned.

Instincts....

It doesn't take much to be overwhelmed by "the decision". Phones ring off the hook and blow up with text messages from various eyewitness reports pulling you in 3 separate directions at once.....it's enough to make you pull the hair from your scalp! Planned on going way north. After 2hrs in the car already and a road sign for a spot I've wanted to check for years randomly appearing at the same instance that I got the call ,"It's way too big up here, all over the place, we're going to NH" - nesurfadventures, I made a hard right and started east to find these gems. Size was roughly chest-2' OH super steep, fast A frame grinders. Peeling for 100-200 yards. I was on my own. Long live GPS systems! My gut guided me the rest of the way to 3-2hour mind blowing sessions. Experiencing a new break when it is in it's prime is quite the gift.

There's still surf in regions of N.E. today. Charge it!



Frothing......

We exchanged epic winter swell for a 40-50 degree avg. Feb.?

We never got a choice.

It's been nice

but I sure do prefer falling onto a liquid ramp

versus

eating shit

on a 13ft vert ramp

This has not been a poem.

Get on that!

7:00AM Sunday morning. Woke up. Coastguard cam looked like blown out garbage. Debated. Rhode Island looked like a lake. Attempted to motivate. Went back to sleep. Phone buzzed. 9:30AM WAVES in strange places I was told. An hour later I was surfing somewhere most will never.  Good day of travel, hunting, and scores. ?? Gotta love it. Most say So. Shore, MA is under rated..... I'd say it has it's days.

Some Secrets are best kept that way....
