A couple of weeks ago we were all pretty jazzed about the Hurricane Henri swell. That was a minimal hurricane that made a very fast pass some 100 miles off our coast and eventually hit Rhode Island.

The trademark of the Henri swell was pure rideability. On both the afternoons of Friday, Aug. 20 and Sunday, Aug. 22, you could have walked up any street on LBI (really the entire New Jersey coast) with pretty much any board, and had a great time in fun, user-friendly waves.
