After a month long flat spell to start 2013. NJ surfers awoke to a a huge south swell with perfect rights. I love the looks on people faces when i tell them this is New Jersey. Photo: Christor Lukasiewicz
2014 started off with a bang. A really big bang, which included big storms, bigger waves and, when the dust settled, intensely beautiful settings. From all corners of the world, this was a spectacular way to usher in the new year. The images above span the entire month of January and the major events that came with it–Hercules, the Mavericks Invitational, and California finally received some long-awaited winter swell, among others. Kick back and reflect on one twelfth of 2014 that has passed you by already.
