With all the hype of the swells backed up on the East Coast little has been known of the little sneaker swell that came in before all the hype surfaced. It seems one came through that surprised everyone and provided the crew with a fun little flurry of waves. Despite Blake Jones’ and Mike Gleason’s busy travel schedule, they managed to catch this swell instead of hearing about it on the internet from some far away place. Check out the whole story on ESM.

Our only pro team rider from the NorthEast has been caught tube riding again. Mike Gleason has graced many pages of the major surf magazines locked in perfect barrels. This time twice on the same wave and at home in Monmouth County, NJ. Featured in ESM’s Annual Photo Issue (Volume 19, Issue 145), “CrossFire” showcases a surfer photographed at multiple angles at the same exact moment in time, producing spectacular results.
Gleason is shown casually getting tubed on a Chem Zen model fully suited up for the freezing December water in Jersey.

Luke Ditella from South New Jersey is currently featured on EasternSurf.com as this month’s EC Rider and showcases a Chemistry in his quiver.
The board was given to him by Adam Holloway, longtime friend and owner of BareWires Surf Skate in Long Branch. The board has apparently brought good luck to Luke by landing him last month’s cover of ESM.
