August 10, 2003 - First Beach, Newport, RI

This was one of the funnest days i've had in a while. Laura and I went down to Newport to get away and did the cliffwalk and then went to First Beach. Surf was thigh-shoulder and kind of mushy on most of the waves so you had to wait for one that was a little steeper and get it late. I caught a lot of rides which were all lefts, awesome! Only a few people out too. A had a couple of really fun long lefts where I was pumping it and turning. The water was super warm, almost Hawaii style, so again I was using only trunks and a 2 mil top. I stayed in until I was totally pickeled and prunned. No red seaweed this time. RI rocks when it's warm!
