Around The World In 80 Waves

Bradley Wiggans I am not, but Steve lends me a bike which I take for a trek down to the shore after finally sorting thing with Vodafone. I am out on it for two and a half hours looking to see if there is any surf on the Atlantic coast. The entire seaforont from Sandy Hook to Sea Bright has been absolutely trashed by Hurricane Sandy. The place in the picture is a leisure complex called driftwood which is just about all it is good for. However many other buildings have been completely wiped off the map and turned to splinters.

Every business is closed so there is no chance of hiring a board. There is a wave here and it looks ok until you realise that it is indeed a seagull in the foreground, so the inability to lay my hands on a board isn’t an issue. I take my shoes and socks off and have a quick paddle so that I have at least got wet in the Atlantic on this trip.
