What’s up Slap, anyone got tips on life in coastal NJ? I grew up in the area but haven’t lived there in over 15 years. Gonna be spending 6 weeks in Ocean County soon to visit family. Most interested in Monmouth and Ocean counties, but I figured this could be a thread that includes tips on the whole region if people are interested. I’ve seen on IG there are some slappy curbs in Asbury around the Lanes and the Empress? Anything poppin in Toms River, Seaside, Brick, Lakewood, etc?
I’m also hoping to surf. Got a good 4/3 and a leaky hooded 5/4. Will I freeze in early May temps?
Shalom 🙏

Long branch skatepark for sure
Also a great shop around the corner
You’ll probably freeze your dick off but there’s dudes out there already so it’s worth a shot
Those asbury curbs are some of the best curbs I’ve ever skated

There’s a newer park in Brick that’s alright. Sayreville park still exists although I’ve never been crazy about it. Both are right off the Garden State Pkwy.

theres a curb/ledge hybrid underneath the railroad bridge in Belmar NJ around the corner from the skate park, across the street from the war memorial. Lots of curbs in asbury, some good spots in Belmar, Brick skatepark, neptune skatepark, some awesome zippy hills in shark river area, like, no traffic, mountaintop river view shit.
If you wanna get weird some good stuff like crazy street transition/fun and kind of oddly small stairsets/oddly massive ones in the office developments and industrial parks in Monmouth and Ocean County
