The Water is mud brown from a string of REALLY hot weather that killed all the seaweed.

Me and my friend Dave Murray skimming in Wellfleet. I didn't skim much cause it was the first day back from my near death.

[SolvenCarlos]

[dan.nj]

damn wtf, are you skimmin jersey or what?

[SeanS]

Cape Cod

[dan.nj]

it was a joke on our dirty water.

[SeanS]

hahaha the water is not polluted though...

[Robert Huffman]

[idrathrbskimmin]

[SeanS]

[Tweedle]

looks fun but water is grossssss

[nasolovesyou]

Looks like a fun day, but I don't know about that water...

[M I K E V]

Come to Rexhame. I've skimmed there the 8 of the last 10 days. No dead seaweed. = ) (the water is actually ridiculously clean)

http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v111/180/79/1238820194/n1238820194_30108580_9346.jpg

Taken with a terrible camera, conditions were waist +. Tubes to be had. And its 15 miles from where I live, not 70. = p

Please don't assume the Cape water is dirty. It's actually very clean. End of July into August seaweed rolls along the shore sometimes.

[Sac Skimmer]

not bad water kinda nasty tho.

[dan.nj]

hahaha the water is not polluted though...

Oh its not our water thats polluted (well yes, in North Jersey) but our beaches get fucking wrecked by new yorkers.

As far as water color though, this is a prime example...
http://cintex.homestead.com/files/njtoday2.jpg
Fucking noon sun cant penetrate those barrels.

[RexSkimmer]

ahaha its so black under there

[jungle]

man am i glad vb doesnt have shit brown water

[SeanS]

but what sucks is, seals are attracted to the seaweed b.c of all the fish that hide out in it. And there is now a growing threat of whales and great whites. A record # of dead seals are washing up on shore with massive shark bites in their side.

[SeanS]

well not really a threat that whales are around but...

[M I K E V]

I would laugh if a whale ever hit me.

I dont think the whole shark deal is too much of a threat for skimming...surfing-yes.

[SeanS]

Mike you have been surfing in seaweed down here right?

its pretty un-nerving

ive paddled out and come across a shark and a couple whales....the whales were probably the coolest thing. i was right off the back of the sandbar and i heard the blow hole and turned around and saw two whales swim right by me...hands down the coolest thing ever to happen to me while at the beach.

[BDirty]

NICE PICKS OF THE CAPE, brings me back to my roots.

cold water, Cape Cod massive skimming soldiers.

[SeanS]

Bdirty when was the last time you skimmed around here....there is a pretty solid scene here now

[Chico]

Damn, you seemed to have bad luck with your health in the past. I hope you get better soon and more lucky as well. The pics are nice.

[kylebaz]

water looks gnarly

[coleberr]

yeah the seaweed infestation kinda sucks but its worth it the rides you get out on the cape are super fun. the seaweed also slightly helps with wetsand drops cause its kinda slimy.

[SeanS]

i dont wet sand drop so i cant really voice my opinion on that....

but when the weed is there its pretty much always glassy. There has to be a pretty deisel wind to make it choppy

[SeanS]

I think i did something sick

[BDirty]

Bdirty when was the last time you skimmed around here....there is a pretty solid scene here now


3 maybe 4 years ago, I skimmed for like 30 minutes until my toes were frozen in August water was like 64 or something.

[RexSkimmer]

64? but that's warm

[Ammy]

64 is colllllld. but anyway those are some sick pictures, look fun. oh and damn man, dont get hurt anymore.

[SeanS]

3 maybe 4 years ago, I skimmed for like 30 minutes until my toes were frozen in August water was like 64 or something.

you were to cold in august??? haha seriously? where did you used to skim again?

[Walruz996]

Yeah I was freezing when I went there late july, it wasn't too bad when it was sunny, but when it was overcast it was just dreadful. Instantly numb when I touched the water.

[SeanS]

you pussies

[BDirty]

I grew up on the Cape when I was a younster, parents used to have a cottage down there. I moved to FLA when I was 13 and only went to the Cape on holidays to see my fam.

Havent been in the ocean more than 2 times up there in 15 years.

The coldest I have ever skimmed was maybe down here with a topper in the winter, I think the water was 70 and the air was 60, anything below that is too cold.

Its a damn shame how much the blood thins out after so many years and so many hot summers in FLA.

yes 64 degree water is cold after 30 minutes to me, I noticed some dudes still wearing full suits.....as well?? I was only in boardshorts when I skimmed 64 degree water....fuk that shit is cold.

[BDirty]

You can call me a pussy all day, pussy is warm I would rather swim in that.

[Chrith]

i know bdirty. i used to live in nj and as soon as the weather was like 60 i had shorts on. now anything below 70 im wearing pants and a sweatshirt

[SeanS]

im just playing around. i usually skim with a 2mm top in august

[RexSkimmer]

i bareback until october

but seriously 64 water temp is like average here

[M I K E V]

Mike you have been surfing in seaweed down here right?


Yes, and seeing as sharks like murky water and are most active in the Northeast in August, it is in the back of your mind. But it's no reason to not surf, fate will take its path.

And oh yeah, 64 is warm, please, especially when you're in and out of the water in skimming. I went to the Cape two weekends ago and I think I was the only one of about 30-40 surfers wearing trunks, the water was like 65+. Wetsuits in August is a crime! On select days the water is colder than others. It's been bouncing between 60-70 all week.

[RJ_from_NJ]

I'm seriously considering going up to Boston next weekend and watching the Sox on Wednesday, going to see the Bouncing Souls on Thursday, and then going to Cape on Firday. Odds are it won't happen but it could be an awesome trip.

And I'm pretty used to walking over airhead wrappers, seeing plastic bags in the ocean, random band aides on the shore, and so much other shit that I feel uncomfortable when it isn't there. I can't really talk shit though because technically I'm a Benny and it's my people that are ruining the beaches.

[Tim_Pasakarnis]

Looked like an excellent turnout. Eventually the waves will cooperate with the contest scheduling out on the cape.

[Banda1d]

[BDirty]

Hyannis was 2 miles from my old house....and my grandma's house. My first job was at Harneys.

Love the Cape...

GO RED SOX!

[SeanS]

Bdirty my house is right near The Beachcomber in Wellfleet

[BDirty]

Sweet....not far away from my old spot.
we could have been neighbors....but I was only 12 when I lived up there. Moved here FLA at 13

[SeanS]

well let me know if you come back....i have found some pretty sick spots around here....

[BDirty]

Surely I appreciate the hospitality and skim tour....in the summer! ha ha ha

[snapcase skimmer]

you guys are official poop riders after that day. i ve never seen water that dirty except in my septic tank...

[SeanS]

Its not really dirty, it is very much full of life.

[SeanS]

its so sick......i love the distance i can get

[Ammy]

you do it!?!?

[SeanS]

yeah lol, thats me in those videos doing it

[BDirty]

Monkey crawl is a bitch if you dont stand up quick...

[Chris S]

my moms got a place on calanans pass in east orleans and the skim behind the house goes off. i skimed it for the first time last summer and had 4 days of pretty good skim each day

[SeanS]

Monkey crawl, well atleast the way i do it can welt your knee pretty badly if you don't keep your weight on your hands.

For a long time i was kind of embarrassed that i did it. but now i think its sick. Its completely different and i can drop in pretty much any kind of break. Well if there was a massive slope i would probably just run and drop...

Hey chris....when are you going to be around again. I would love to bring you to some wellfleet beaches.

and we are both skimcentral riders which makes us twice as hot

[SeanS]

Oh and the First video is of Tom Wrinn..owner of Wilbs Shoes....ya he is riding one of my Relics...so they work

Really. Wasn't it howling offshore all day? Killed any hopes of waves coming in. I will be mad pissed if there were waves today. :( I'm hoping tomorrow will be good. Supposed to blow N until noon and then its supposed to switch to SE. PM me if it's good.

[RexSkimmer]

well the wind did make it alot less fun

damn 64 way warm. we usually trunk it in 55+ here in norcal. im down in laguna now and the water isnt even refreshing

[SeanS]

water that temp sucks when you first get in and then you get used to it and it is fine....

Can't wait to surf this weekend with the additional shark sitings on the cape!!

[BDirty]

yea water doesnt get below 71 degrees in South FLa, we swim in a bath tub all summer....in the winter if the water hits 70 I put on a topper with the cool NW breezes from the cold fronts.

[RJ_from_NJ]

water that temp sucks when you first get in and then you get used to it and it is fine....

The only thing that sucks up here is the wind. When you get out and your just standing around you can get a big cold with the wind.

[RexSkimmer]

yeah water temp usually doesnt matter. its all about the wind chill

[SeanS]

i like riding with a top on no matter what...1mm in the summer 3mm in the late summer/fall. I hate getting my back raked

[skimninja]

dude a seal last week or something got destroyeeeeddd by a shark at nauset beach

[coleberr]

it happens all the time don't worry about it, the only reason this one bmade the news is cause people saw the seal get attacked. there are no more so far this year than any other year in the past 2 decades so just dont swim with the seals and you will be fine. they did a study that shows you are 10 times more likely to be attacked by a seal then a shark.

[M I K E V]

Scare tactics, they're always out there, just now everyone seems to be realizing.
I mean come on, its August aka North East shark season. This is not a shocker.

[SeanS]

Honestly, there is so many living things in that water that we DONT see. Countless times i have seen things on the sandbars. I really wouldn't be all that shocked to find out that a shark has swam under me without me knowing.....

People are all just saying this b.c they think that It is such a large food source for sharks and they are finally realizes the seals are there.

[SeanS]

HAHAHA YES,

Yeah, I was out surfing today and I could have sworn I saw something under neath me. It didn't really bother me at all because there was a dead blue fish about 50-100 yards away that was about 22-23 inches. The fucking thing was huge. I swam next to it and thought it was a rag but was wrong. The tide took it away though so it was all good. Sharks have been hunted so much that they are pretty rare in the north east. I mean, yes you will get your bull sharks and the occasional great white sighting but unless you are swimming in either the ocean or a river I wouldn't worry about anything as long as you just don't go out during dawn and dusk or when you see like a school of fish jumping out of the water. They are pretty easy to avoid.
