O’Neill Bragger’s Cup
The N’East crew got down to the O’Neill Bragger’s Cup in Jersey on Sunday. It’s become fashionable to call it “Dirty” Jersey, but that might be a little offensive to some of our readers. So, lets just say we had a good time in Sleazeside Heights.
Sam Hammer, a Casino Pier local if there ever was one, led Team Brave New World to victory and $2,000. The swell was forcasted to be flat, but somehow the Pier came through, with clean three-foot lines all morning and contestable surf into the afternoon.
Huge thanks to O’Neill, Surf Taco, and all those who welcomed us to New Jersey.

for the record – I didn’t even have pancakes – but I did almost get shanked for trying to position in the line up – my bad. Jersey locals can rip – thanks for putting up with the kid from the north.
