The East Coast is usually supposed to be good during the fall. So far we have only really had three tropical swells and they were fun but nothing amazing. Florida only got two of those swells and after being home for over two weeks and only surfing once I was getting the itch. The forecast reports started claiming that there was going to be a good size north swell with possible good winds in the outer banks of north carolina. I decided to charge up there and see if i could get lucky and get some fun solid waves. Oliver Kurtz was in cali and i told him that i was heading up there. He hasn't ever experienced a good swell there before so he got a ticket and met me there. We ended getting great waves for five days straight. From big thick barrels to super clean fun barrels. It was definitely hard to get them cause of the crazy drift but when you got one it was amazing. After five days of nonstop paddling and running up the beach my body is pretty beat up but it's a good feeling knowing that I surfed my brains out.

I love hurricane season on the east coast. After a terrible summer for waves, it finally looks like it's going to get good. I would actually say more than good, this hurricane Bill looks to be one of the biggest swells coming to the east coast in a long time. The question now is what spots are going to be able to handle this big of a swell and where do i what to be on what day. I sort of have a plan so hopefully it's a good call but the anticipation is killing me. I am sure everywhere will have its moments. We'll keep you posted. — Asher
Flying Point surf camp and the Brodeo Tour meet up in New York for the final stop!
New York is becoming a special little treat for the Brodeo Tour, and this year was icing on the cake. Special thanks to the whole crew at Flying Point Surf Shop for letting us be part of their surf camp. It's always good to go out with a bang, and thats how we went out as 40 plus groms went nuts. In and out of the water, this years crew of kids charged the surf fearlessly, and they were rewarded. Hurley T-shirts, autographs, stickers, and much more went out to all the kids that participated. All that was left with the kids were smiles, sand, and surf as the day ended. Till next year
Special thanks: The Petruzziello family

Stop # 3 of the Brodeo tour was Farias Surf shop, New Jersey, and it was on fire
New Jersey was on fire as the Brodeo Tour blazed into town for stop # 3. 100 degree temps, a piping hot grill, autographs, and free Hurley gear— what else could you want? Well, an afternoon surf would be nice. 7 Eleven slurpees went down along with hot dogs and hamburgers cooked by Mark Z. Everybody who came out got styled out with all kinds of Hurley goodies, and yes we dipped in for a quick little surf before heading off to New York. Check photos for some of the action.
Special thanks to Gary, Bryan and the whole Farias crew!
