I have a love-hate relationship with the waves of Long Island. Coming from Maine, where the waves tend to be slow and mushy, trying to manage and make sense of Rockaway when it’s dumping in a foot of water is a challenge. So, when I saw the forecast for Hermine, instead of grabbing my board and heading to the beach I opted for my camera and tripod. No regrets. The first day the storm hit I went to Rockaway, which was a bust. The waves weren’t manageable, and the footage was garbage. The next day I rented a car and headed out to Long Beach. Sure enough, it was firing. Probably the best waves I’ve ever seen in the Northeast. ‘Disorderly Conduct’ is an edit I threw together from that one day at Long Beach. Enjoy!
