Being 50 doesn't need to be waiting around looking forward to grandkids. You can be 50 and still look forward to shreding every day.

      The East River has a tide that rises and sets because it is half fresh water and half saltwater. The Hudson River is all fresh water and flows into the NY Harbor. The East River connects from the harbor to the Long Island Sound (past Roosevelt Island then Riker's Island, etc). Then the Long Island Sound dumps back into the ocean.

    so this is something you dont see everyday, but it is something i thought about today and thanks to the wonderfull world of youtube, and those crazy youtubers, i get to see something ive always wanted to see.. someone swimming in the east river. Now.. for many of you, You may think whats the issue?. Well.. The east river is DANGEROUS. its legendary in that people that attempt to swim in it die, due to the strong currents and under tow. And i mean. people who jump who are not professional swimmers quickly find themsleves in waters thats very different than what it appears on the surface. Its violent and fact. and often their is no fighting where it will take you which is often out into the greater hudson river which is even more powerful and more violent. NY waters in general are not to be toyed with. These are real rivers, powerful rivers. and not forgiving to those who are ill equipped to travers. And to make matters worse... shipping lanes.

    My lure snapped off on a cast, and I had to climb down the ladder and swim a good bit into the river to eventually retrieve it.
    I was not a strong swimmer at all!
    It was not a smart move.
    I made it back to shore exhausted and could really feel that current.
