May 22, 2022 - The Wall, Hampton, NH

 Ever since the PR trip, I was itching to go surfing.  Finally got an opportunity to go on this Sunday morning.  We combined a grad party in Groveland with this.  Laura and Evan dropped me off at the Wall (8th Street) and they went to the skate park.  It was 95 deg in Westford, but 65 deg at the coast.  Water was about 53 deg, so I wore booties and the one glove I could find, and used my 8.5 RC.  The water wasn't terribly cold with air being nice.  Tides were also perfect since I got out at low and surfed the incoming tide.  Waves were fairly sizable and I don't know what swell was producing, but I felt like we were pretty far out to catch these.  It was semi-choppy, semi clean but the waves were pretty challenging to get into.  I have a good run in the middle of my session when several nice ones came in and caught some nice long rides.  There was one rogue wave in the middle that was just big!  Can't believe I forgot to take a photo.
