Igor Visits New Jersey

Avalon, NJ | ©2010 Hopping Frog Studios

Igor, the ninth tropical storm of the season, is coming to New Jersey. Actually, it's not coming anywhere close to shore, but it's just close enough to give us a nice swell. If you're not a surfer, then you're probably not even paying attention, but those of us still looking to get some nice rides before the weather turns and we have to squeeze into a rubber suit, we're pretty stoked.

After rather disappointing results from the last few storms (although to be honest I had a lot of fun with the last one), we're really looking forward to some good surf.

The weather always seems to be beautiful. The waves always seem to be small. And the event is always a raving success.

This year was no exception.

It was my sixth or seventh year shooting the event, which kind of surprised me. I also designed a t-shirt, a sweatshirt and the event poster. It was also the first year where I had my underwater housing and could paddle out. It was a cool feeling.
