June 14, 2020 - The Wall, Hampton Beach, NH

First surf of 2020 and first surf of the pandemic.  I bought a new 8.5 ft Ricky Carroll long board for $400 used.  It's in nice condition and I plan to have Melissa use it and anyone else that wants to go with me.  I'll be selling the 7' WRV.  First things first, we stopped at CR to get Mel a new wetsuit.  She tried on a bunch and ended up with a 3/2 Hyperflex.  I think it cost more than my 4/3.  Surf at the Wall was small and messy wind swell, so it took a lot out of you to paddle out and position.  Not good waves for teaching, but I did get a few rides.  Mel had a hard time getting these, but had fun.
