THE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE SWELL December 19th & 20th, 2023
from SURF FREE OR DIE on Vimeo.


Seriously? I did not see this coming, or rather, I did not see it the way others like SURFLINE saw it.
I mean the day before December 18th, 2023 in New Jersey was the BIGGEST surf ever recorded in Jersey.
Hell even Florida had some big surf. I mean it was going off down south. but even with that, I was not expecting the size we got.
That was a complete surprise. There's a few waves in this edit that might rival the biggest surf I've ever documented up here in NH.

There's one wave that Lars Hamilton gets that will rival any other wave ever shot up here.

But I'm not going to be the judge of that. You can form your own opinions. But the naked eye does not lie.
There's no Photoshop or AI bullshit in this edit. It's all real. Put it this way, it's as big as the Hurricane LEE footage
I shot in September, and it might be a little bigger. But again you tell me. This edit is dedicated to the TRUE Christmas Miracle of 2023.
Abby Jowett came home for Christmas. And that my friends is the best news of all. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Music is by myself, Barrence Whitfield, Gary Hoey, and Mike Zito.
Watch in 1080.

 

DECEMBER 24th-31st 2023 The RUN is 8 out of 8 Weeks.
Waist high or better at least once a week.
There were triple overhead to double overhead waves 12-19 and 12-20-23 this week, and waist to head high on the 22nd, and 29th, 2023.

THE RECORD FOR THE MOST CONSECUTIVE WEEKS IN A ROW FOR WAIST HIGH OR BETTER. August 8th, 2021 was 53 WEEKS! TOPPING THE 43 CONSECUTIVE WEEKS SET IN 2009!		 Send your SURF Pics to me directly to: ralph@adlantic.com.
Need photos by 10 AM on Saturdays. Seriously.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
THREE BIG NEWS EVENTS IN OUR FAMILY.
NEW RPOTW CALENDARS SPANNING
20 YEARS 2004-2024 COMING SOON.

LAST WEEK I WROTE ABOUT CORY AND I MEETING 40 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK ON DECEMBER 23rd, 1983. WELL, ON SATURDAY DECEMBER 23rd, 2023 I SURPRISED CORY BY DRIVING HER INTO BOSTON FROM HAMPTON TO STAND WHERE WE MET 40 YEARS TO ALMOST THE EXACT HOUR

40 years ago tonight right around this exact time, I met Cory for the first time. Right at this very spot, where I played and sang The LITTLE DRUMMER BOY at Barry Marshall's 1st annual Christmas Rock and Roll Show. The club was called SPIT, and it was located at the current House Of Blues on Lansdowne Street in Boston. I surprised Cory by driving into town tonight, and we stood outside the old SPIT club, and I kissed her like I did that first time 40 years ago tonight. And, I'm wearing the same shirt I had on 40 years ago. What can I say, I'm a romantic at heart. I loved you then, and I love you today.
Happy 40th anniversary.

  

ABOVE: The PAST December 23rd, 1983 when we first met, and December 23rd, 1986 when I asked her to marry me.



The Present: December 23rd, 2023. 40 years to the exact day and time.



And the KISS heard round the World, I mean Kenmore Square!

Later that night I got hit hard with VERTIGO. Like really hard. Little did I know what was coming. The next day was Christmas Eve and I could not get out of bed until the middle of the afternoon. I thought I might have to cancel the family Christmas Party. But like a miracle, I felt better around 3:00PM and we had the party and everyone had a great time.



I took this photo of Max and Jacquie as they left. It's under our Japanese Maple tree that I decorate in all Blue lights. The very next morning on Christmas Max asked Jacquie to marry him. Cory and I couldn't be happier. We love Jacquie so much and think they are perfect for each other.



Pictured above on Christmas Morning: Pete, Noelle, Malia, Max, and Jacquie More GOOD NEWS. Noelle and Pete and baby Malia are expecting their second child in July! WHOA! This Christmas was getting better by the minute.

And then...my Vertigo came back. Followed by massive headaches, severe congestion, chills, and fever. And then? I took the test, and BAM! I had COVID. For the second time in my life since January of 2021. COVID. I went to bed Christmas Night and couldn't get out of bed until Saturday December 30th, 2023. That's why the Blog is late. I posted the photo galleries from the 19th & 20th, along with four galleries drom Dina Crawford. Plus the HUGE West Coast pics. Again, I apologize for being late, but now you know the reasons why. The Good, the bad, and the ugly.


MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!




CHECK THIS VIDEO FRAME GRAB of LARS HAMILTON from the video that's posted at the top of this page.




This is a BIG ASS Wave on any coast. I'm calling it triple overhead.

Ed O'Connell was one of the most loved surf photographers in New England. A US ARMY Vietnam Veteran who saved the lives of so many ARMY Grunts in Nam in 68-69 as a Medic on board those Dust Off Hueys. He was a dear friend of mine.

When he passed on July 1st, 2014 I swore I'd keep his memory and legacy alive by giving him this weekly corner. He loved surfing and he loved taking photos of all the surfers. Not just those who could really stand out. He shot every one. As long as I shall live and breathe the salt air, there will be a corner dedicated to Ed.

ED'S CORNER December 24th, 2023



This pic was shot by Ed in October of 2008. I had posted other pics from this same session many times in the past but always passed on posting this one. It reminds me of how I surf these days. Always in a crouching position because I lost the ability and the spring to stand straight up. It's still surfing. Just not like I used to do. Regardless, it's still a cool shot by Ed. photo by Ed O'Connell
*Click the photo above to see a larger version of Ed's Pic.

COMING THIS WINTER of 2024 (January-February). My book that I have been writing the last 10 years or so. Yes, there will be a book signing. And I will let you all know in advance, where and when. The book will be available in both hard cover and soft cover on AMAZON, BARNES & NOBLE, INGRAM, GOOGLE BOOKS, and KOBO PUBLISHING.

I'm pretty stoked about this project. 72 years in the making. So please be patient with me and stay tuned. The book is coming. It's just taking longer than I had originally anticipated. But it's coming.



Most of my close friends have heard some of these stories first hand. But trust me, with over 100 stories, there's a handful that none of you have ever heard. It's true. Be patient my friends.
It's all coming in the winter of 2024.



THOSE WE LOST IN 2023.
Each year they make these collages of the famous celebs that have passed away. Pee Wee and Jeff Beck are two that I will really miss. CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO SEE TO SEE THEM ALL.

And speaking of heartwarming Holiday Cheer. How many of you saw this lovely message from 45? I swear, you can't make this crap up. He is UNFIT to be president. Surely even you hardcore followers can see this.


He must never ever be elected as our president again. Unhinged lunatic with a lunatic following. LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!

PLEASE HELP HAMPTON'S SECRET SPOT REBUILD FOR THE SUMMER OF 2024!




CLICK ON THE GRAPHIC ABOVE TO HELP SECRET SPOT.

HELP HAMPTON'/S POPULAR SECRET SPOT
REBUILD FOR THE SUMMER OF 2024!

I’ve known Jon Gozzo for about 20 years. We surfed together and have shared a common bond with pointing dogs. But more importantly, I’ve watched Jon establish himself here on the seacoast and become part of this great community. I was there when he met and fell in love with Sarah. I was there when he became a father of his beautiful twin girls Maeve and Lyona. And I was there when he launched SECRET SPOT. He’s been on my weekly Blog every week since day one.

Back in August of 2022, the seacoast community suffered a major loss when we lost, CINNAMON RAINBOWS, The NORTH BEACH Bar & Grille, and SECRET SPOT due to a devastating fire. Jon and Sarah lost everything. I mean everything. It was a gut wrenching loss for their family.



I started a Go Fund Me page for CINNAMON RAINBOWS (which was quite successful thanks to all of you who donated.) At that same time I asked Jon if we could do the same for SECRET SPOT. They were not ready at the time due to a number of reasons to ask for help.

This is the season of giving. And I truly hope that you will join me in helping SECRET SPOT get back on their feet, and provide the seacoast community with the best and healthiest food on the coast.

Surfing Heals All Wounds (and so does a Acai’ bowl at Secret Spot).

Below is a letter from Sarah and Jon Gozzo.

This calendar might become a collectors item. Twenty years of Ralph's Pic from 2004 to 2024. It was cool going through the years and picking out pics from the last 20 years. Not only will there be pics of mine but also from some of the other photographers who have submitted pics to this weekly Blog.
The late Ed O'Connell, Brian Nevins, Martha Lardent, Dina Crawford, Erica Nardone and many more. They should be in the shops the week or two
after Xmas.


Another reminder to help out SECRET SPOT. No donation is too small.

“HELPING FRIENDS IN NEED HEALS ALL WOUNDS.” 

 

Dear Ralph and loving Seacoast community,

You’ve been asking and we’ve been waiting and now it’s finally time to rebuild the Secret Spot! It’s difficult for us to ask but we need your help! 

On August 19, 2022 a fire infiltrated our restaurant through the ceiling rafters and completely consumed our Secret Spot, obliterating everything inside. In a matter of hours, everything we had worked for, built from the ground up, our family business of 15 years was a total loss. Fortunately no one was hurt but our family was grief stricken and our community was devastated. At that time we did not start a GoFundMe because we wanted to focus efforts on helping our friends at Cinnamon Rainbows get into a clean space asap. We are so happy they were able to find a perfect temporary home! 

Finally, we are happy to announce that we’ve found a new spot but it needs a ton of work! The small building at 560 High Street, to the west of where Secret Spot once was, will be our new home for a few years:) We (Jon and Sarah) plan to do much of the work along with friends, family and community members. Of course our 10yr twins Maeve and Lyona will help too! 

The physical labor poses a real issue with Jon’s declining health. Jon’s health issues have been kept private but if you’ve known The Gozzo’s for a while, you know we live cautiously. Jon was diagnosed with SLL, CVID and GLILD many years ago which is how he came to be the first to bring Acaí to New England, for its health benefits. In order for Jon to live, he must do weekly plasma infusions, take daily antibiotics and antivirals and avoid germs in general as the common cold could cause hospitalization. The Gozzo family does our best to normalize this for our children but it’s been exceedingly stressful and difficult after the loss of our family business. If you see the twins, they are always happy to get extra hugs:) 

Looking forward! The Gozzo family feels a new sense of hope for the future! Finding the space so close to the old space, near Hampton’s iconic corner, in the same beach community that we love so dearly, is our dream realized. Even though we have high hopes for a rebuild in the original space, the plan is to be OPEN Spring 2024 at 560 High Street, in Hampton, NH and we can all finally get acaí to the face! 

We need to raise $35,000 to go directly toward the build-out and necessary equipment. All help is welcome! Thank you so much for your continued support. It means the world to our family and our beach community! 



Click on the pic above to help SECRET SPOT.

With Love, 
Sarah Gozzo (Jon, Lyona and Maeve)

 





Those tiny little fists wrapped around the Sheik's head should be a warning for all who fall under this man's spell. Once again, Khaliddy who freelances for the GITMO GAZZETTE was there covering the heartwarming Christmas Message from this nutjob. Khaliddy is just doing what he was assigned to do. The bottom line is WE NEED SOMEONE NEW IN THE WHITEHOUSE. Not 45. And Not 46. Somebody new with NO baggage and NO lunacy. This man is toxic. And dangerous. 46 is just too damn old. Period. It's time for new blood. Happy New Year. VOTE YOUNG AND FRESH!



And so my friends, please take advantage of this weekly photo shop of the mastermind who planned 9-11 and resulted in the deaths of 3,000 innocent civilians by KSM (Khalid Sheik Mohammed). *Note to self -must pick up a case of used mittens at Home Depot this week.

CHRISTMAS 2000 MY FIRST 365 DAY SURF CAMPAIGN.
I remember this day. And thinking to myself, this is going to be easy. Boy was I wrong. It was anything but easy. But I did it. I completed my mission and raised $33,000 for ADA (American Diabetes Association) in memory of my father Gus who turned me onto to surfing in 1963. Photo by Cory Fatello

I kept a daily Blog on my CATCH A WAVE FOR MOLLY surf campaign, when I surfed every single day for 365 consecutive days. Click on the Banner above to read entries of my daily journey. There's some really interesting and true experiences
that happened during that year. Some of which are to this day, unexplainable. Some are just mind blowing. But all true.

I started on July 26th, 2010 and ended on July 26th, 2011.

Some rainy Sunday, pour yourself a cup and go through the journal. Pay close attention to the month of May in 2011. Read that month and let me know what you think of that. Be forewarned it will change you forever.
