Our main man on the East Coast, New Jersey’s Seth Stafford knows when to get hell outta Dodge. With the entire Eastern seaboard in a deep freeze, Stafford wisely rounded up a crew of East Coast All-Stars and headed way down south to the Dominican Republic. In between the rain squalls, the crew managed to score a few good shots of the pros and a few Dominican bros. Enjoy the fruits of Seth’s labor…
