| 263769 | 14363 | This is the guy that advertises breaks in NJ | 14 | PeakMaster | Oct 26, 2022 | 2022-10-26T11:01:40-0400 | Hodaddy81 said: As a fellow " video" guy I also am not a fan of the landscapes that he takes both with pulling up to the spot and also drone area. Although I just don't think he knows any better. I think a majority of us grew up as surfing being a territorial activity. But with cams and social media and the influx of new people I am not sure if it exists anymore. Now for my channel I personally do not call spots and keep it as a if you know you know situation. But a few things to add to this. A: The amount of people that live on the west coast of this country that call spots on a video platform is insane so be grateful we don't have that. B: I know all the spots that he surfs and I have never seen him in person. So I don't know when the hell he is getting the content. I also have not noticed it being any more crowded because of his channel. Also he doesn't really surf that great of spots lol. C: New Jersey has a long long long coastline. There is enough for everybody and most the time unless there is a wind change it looks around the same within a 5 mile area. D: unfortunately for me homeboy is surfing pretty good so I can't even talk shit on his style and or ability. Honestly if I had a heat against him I would be pretty nervous. BUT... I also feel all feels that you guys do. Also @Chilly Willy I apologize if your talking about me with my channel. Again I never say where but I may have shown a landmark or two. It drives me insane how many followers he has but to a beginner surfer looking to get into Longboarding his content is pretty good. Of coarse again growing up in a time with no surf camps and surfing kinda being a outsider activity, I kinda had to learn all this shit on my own. Anyway thats my take on this whole thing if anyone gives a shit. Click to expand... Some of your points are valid. Point A...still doesn't justify what that knob is doing. One could counter your point by saying the West Coast has more consistent, bigger swells, rock bottoms, point breaks vs NJ so there's more breaks to absorb crowds. I'm pretty sure most locals at better breaks would vehemently disagree. Point B...NJ has 130 miles of coastline...not bad. But it's a fact that Monmouth County, Ocean County...especially Monmouth County beaches are vastly more crowded and spelling out specific breaks on social media contributes to those crowds. Your take is quite reasonable and I give a shit, if you give a shit. |
