4th of July

Sunday in Montauk for the 4th. It was a sweltering day, which ended with a cool/warm breeze, fires on Umbrella beach, and a massive crowd gathered for the fireworks. The hour wait for a Pizza Village pie was WELL worth it...

Sunrise and north winds Part 2

When you are the first to arrive in the Gilgo parking lot in Summer it either means the waves are horrible or you're just plain lucky. It's 5am, the tide was low and just starting to rise, giving way to knee to occasional chest high peelers on the shallow bar.
The paddle out was cake, and the waves were breaking in water that wasn't as shallow as I thought, producing long rides. I rode for an hour alone... a few good rights later and I was off to work.
