Good to see that cold water connection.
1Probably the only spots on this planet that aren’t over-populated. These places are left to the few!
2Cold water surf is different and better. I went out with my 20yr old son on the first snowy day here on LI NY. Waves were hard to get into due to strong off shores but the kid scored a full in and out barrel while I basically got mostly snuffed. In all the years of winter surf it was the coldest I can remember. PS Our spot at Gilgo was covered with helicopters and news crews but they were not for our surf session. There have been 4 dead bodies recovered in the area the day before. I thought I was frozen stiff!!!!!!
