Yeap. Paddle out as close to the pier or jetty as you can usually. The water tends to rush back out to sea at these points and you can usually glide your way out there with very little paddling, just riding current and duck diving.

Always my recommendation. I love everything Firewire makes honestly. Own 3 of their boards currently. Have owned 4 others that I've since sold as my surfing progressed.

Firewire also has another mid length the "long rider" that just was released last week or so. Have NOT tried that one out so can't give a review of it myself though.

Coryn Daniel That was always my spot. South jetty. Drive the jeep right onto the beach, step right off the tailgate into the water practically.

Scott Wagenblast looked very Jersey to me. From there originally. Used to surf Brigantine and Ocean City a lot. Worked in Sea Girt for a few years. Now living in SC. Water is warmer (most I wear is a 4/3 in winter, but surf is no where near as good as Jersey. Usually have to drive up to Wrightsville Beach when I know a good swell is coming. Don't miss the cold or the snow though.

Just curious where this clip was taken at. It kinda reminds me of cape may, NJ area. Wondering if I'm close to right...

I recently got the C7 and absolutely hate it. Might be cause I have it on a super short WB board, but it's not my cup of tea.

Love the CX and C5, thinking about getting the solride so I can cross over into some skateboard tricks like Ollie's and grinds maybe, but yea the C7 I'm thinking of just giving away.

Thank you for this comment. Literally read it as I was pulling up to the park this morning. Spent more time on the bank today, after starting on the half pipe.

The bank definitely giving me more space to open my shoulders and make the turn and I don't have to worry about the coping, or running into the fence that is very close to the end of the half pipe.

For sure gonna spend more time on the bank from now on. Was getting my shoulders and head around and getting my turns in tighter each time this morning. After watching my videos from this morning I've noticed a few things I still need to work on as far as arm control and aiming at 12 o'clock on the way up so that's my game plan for tomorrow morning.

I do wish my park has a decent sized corner opposite a ramp so I could work on turns like Clayton's able to is his bowl, but herr its all half pipes, that one decent sized bank and the bowl so I'll have to work with what I got.
