My first wave was in 1964 in Kennebunk, and years were spent surfing Plaice Cove, Hampton, Seabrooke, and Rye on the Rocks when it came up. My last wave was a year ago at Playa Maderas in Nicaragua. I'm done, too old, but the memories of surfing New England are vivid.
definitely, but that blonde guy with the blue pickup who only lets other "locals" aka white dudes with trust funds surf there is a super racist joke and kills the vibe for everyone. he literally screams people out of the water and parking area
true! especially Devereux. there is a white guy with a blue pickup who is notorious for screaming people out the water. he is very racist. basically a surf nazi
indeed, there's a lot of disrespectful people such as the blonde guy with a blue pickup truck who thinks he owns Devereux beach. he screams people out of the water and slashes tires
definitely! or having to drive home since the white locals at Devereux won't let you surf there. the blonde guy in the blue pickup truck will scream at you if you even attempt to surf there, and if you don't listen to him, he'll slash your tires.
I have been learning to surf in Boston area for the last 14 months and it has been really fun for me! I got a wetsuit and several surfboards and I have been documenting my beginner progression on RU-vid. Beautiful waves, learning to turn, cold sessions, beautiful sunrises and friends to surf with. This video really resonated with me and I really enjoyed watching it. Thanks!
@@emmaolivia2824 the devereux guy makes women feel very unsafe, starting with his wife. I see him screaming at her around down, and honestly I feel bad for her. He screams at other women as well in the water. He is a total misogynist
@@rosspingree6670 that guy isn't even a local. he doesn't even live in marblehead. if he harasses you again, just call the cops. he's done time before and doesn't need another strike. total kook.
January 14,2023 and I’m getting ready to try winter surfing at rye beach for the first time ever. Super stoked after living in New England for 20+ years and trying winter surfing while other people are skiing and snowboarding 🤙
Great cinematography, beautiful stories told by a wide range of characters. Made me want to get off my ass and get back in the water soon. I'm going to check the forecast now. Congrats, Greg! Loved it and my daughter couldn't take her eyes off the women getting out there in the cold. All your hard work has paid off!
honestly it's not easy being a female surfer in New England. for example, at Devereux beach in marblehead I got screamed out of the parking lot by a blonde guy with a blue pickup. basically, he patrols the beach and only lets white men surf there. it's disappointing
Amazing stories. I’m from the UK and just beginning my journey surfing and what an important thing I have found to enhance my life. I never even knew people went surfing in winter until the other day. Thank you for making this beautiful film.
Lovely portrait of all of them! I live in The Netherlands, where Autumn and Winter are the surf season too. Cold, but great! :) Keep it up guys and girls!
Grew up on long island and started surfing in 95, fall came and didnt want to stop, winter came and i was a scuba diver already used to 35 degree water, so i said ill use my dive suits. Back in the mid 90s i was lucky if i saw someone else on the beach, let alone in the water. As the years went on, more and more were out there with me. Although it was nice to see it become normalized, i miss those old days when i was all alone
Thanks for sharing, everyone, that was very inspirational! I started two months ago (July) and am stoked for my first winter here in Mass (coming from Minnesota). I’ll be thinking of all you guys when I’m out there.
just be careful of that blonde guy with a blue pickup at Devereux in marblehead, ma. he is a cry baby and screams people out of the water, especially women and people of color
just don't try to surf at Devereux, it's a locals only spot, just for local white privileged folks with trust funds. I have screamed people out of the water before and I'll do it again
