Dean Randazzo and friends raised $6,000 at last week’s 3rd Annual Freeze for a Cause. Soon after, Dean ditched the Jersey deluge in favor of the Sunshine State for SURF FEST 2010. On Saturday, the N.J. surf legend snagged 1st place in the Masters of Surfing Pro event at Sebastian Inlet. Congratulations, Dean!

This is what the beach looked like today…
…hoping for better conditions (and visibility) mañana, though it does look all eerie and cool in the fog.
What’s on Fox News in Mankato, Minnesota? New Jersey kids surfing in the snow, apparently.
“Now that’s what I call die-hard surfing!” Ha. Check oot The New Surf’s cool snow photo.
And just for good measure, here’s the Dark Fall trailer yet again…
More wintry East Coast shots from SURFER. Wintry is a weird word, no?
Yesterday, Justin Cote posted “The Real Jersey Shore” on Transworld Surf’s site. Love the photos and the positive publicity. Some of the comments that follow those gorgeous barrels, on the other hand… wow.
“go ahead, rip away. San Diego, CA. Face it, NJ is the worst place in America to live. The show is what it is – true life on the Jersey shore. Your state is a joke to the rest of us, even people in places like Iowa.”
“Love it but spare us the ‘Jersey is misunderstood’ bs. I’ve seen the Jersey shore and my opinion is that show isn’t an exaggeration. If the real Jersey shore wasn’t like that the people from there wouldn’t be so defensive about it.”
You know what, spare me the “love it” bs… we all know it’s really tough to love sick waves when they’re found in a place as despicable as New Jersey, right? Why don’t you take a drive over here from your fabulous home state during the winter months and educate yourself on exactly how inaccurate Jersey Shore is. Or don’t: more waves (and less baseless hostility) for us.
NYC Watershots always has these masterly photos of what the Atlantic did, like, 5 seconds ago. Check out their gallery of Garden State barrels. The waves were really beautiful on Sunday.
Speaking of surfing in the snow, the trailers for Alex DePhillipo’s new movie, Dark Fall, look BOSS (ha, who says that?).
