The Rhode to Maine Street featuring Balaram Stack, Rob Kelly, Tommy Ihnken, and Terence Doll

With international travel pretty much impossible at the moment, there’s no better time to explore within the United States. When the first tropical system of the 2020 hurricane season spun up in the Atlantic, a crew of the Northeast’s finest — Balaram Stack, Tommy Ihnken, Rob Kelly, and Terence Doll — packed an RV full of surfboards, fishing gear, fireworks and beer and set off on a 500-plus mile trip from New Jersey to Maine, hunting, surfing and fishing at every nook and cranny along the way. While the summer system didn’t produce anything special (at least not surf wise), it was clearly still a hell of a good time. Because who doesn’t want to drink beer and light off fireworks back at camp after a day of surfing? With the brunt of hurricane season just starting to kick up along the East Coast, and combo swells starting to light up California, this could serve as a good blueprint for anyone looking to spice up their domestic surf adventures.

HIT & RUN: The casual side of Irish wave country.

Filmer Alex Laurel skips over to Ireland to tag along with Conor Maguire for a late season swell chase, from Mullaghmore to a few other choice Irish slabs. Featuring: Conor Maguire.
Ireland isn't all massive slabs and sheer terror. On a recent fun-sized swell, local Conor Maguire showed visiting pros like American Rob Kelly the casual side of Irish wave country.
It started out big. The initial forecast hinted at big Mullaghmore. But when the day arrived, there was a lot of wind, making for an ugly, not to mention dangerous, run at what's one of Ireland's fiercest slabs.

Not to be deterred, Conor Maguire grabbed filmers Alex Laurel and Clem McInereny and headed to one of Ireland's many other fantastic waves on the north-west coast.

New Jersey Nuking | Winter Storm Stella Produces the Best Surf NJ's Seen in Years

March 14th -- day of the year -- as seen through the lens of Alex DePhillipo.

New Jersey surfers are already starting to call the back side of Winter Storm Stella the biggest thing they've seen since the Doomsday Swell of 2012. And after seeing this edit from Dark Fall Productions' mastermind Alex DePhillipo, we might be inclined to agree. "People forget how cold and gnarly this shit is, especially paddling into waves with heavy winds," says Alex. "And to think I almost didn't even go because of the weather." The day's highlight? "Rob Kelly is my hero," Alex affirms. "Hands down, the best wave I have ever seen/filmed on the East Coast."

Hurricane Hermine Lights Up NJ and NY With Perfect Tubes | Sessions

For a couple of days in September, Jersey and New York were awash with perfect tubes. Every year this time, the US East Coast's surfers get the fever. Job and family obligations get pushed aside. TVs get stuck on the Weather Channel. All eyes are on the tropical Atlantic, searching for signs of just the right hurricane – the kind that stay way out in the ocean, bringing nothing to shore but good wind and even better waves.
