New York gets good? yep.

After a long trip to Puerto Rico scoring sick waves I come home to 13 days of flatness. I woke up Monday (1/19/10) so stoked to finally get some sick barrels. Me and two friends paddle out in Bridgehampton to reeling left tubes. On my first wave I airdrop to the bottom and brake my board in half. Sick right? I get my back up board set up and get two more freezing sessions in. It was as good as the hamptons get. Top to bottom heavy ass tubes. After eating shit on almost every drop, I got a few sick ones that made it all worth it. Hopefully we get some more this weekend.

Well now that you've seen what the Hamptons looked like monday, what do you say we take a look at what Long Beach looked like. Wouldn't say it was as good as the Hamptons, but it was pretty rippable. I was shooting with Stevie Patsis, who had just arrived back to NY from a month long trip to Hawaii. I would say he scored big time up there. Surfing Pipe everyday will do the job. Going from wearing boardshorts, to wearing a 5 millimeter wetsuit with booties, gloves, and a hood, is a major change he had to overcome. Surfing with broken fingers, Stevie still managed to get barreled.
