July 14, 2019 - The Wall, Hampton, NH

We planned this one out pretty good.  The plan was to drop off Evan at Scout Camp in Northwood NH and then hit the wall at low tide on the "way back".  It was a big circle, but not too bad.  Ate a huge lunch before, so we were fueled up and bogged down.  Found parking pretty easily at the wall.  This was my chance to surf with Mel after her week at surf camp!!  It was really cool to have someone to go out with again.  I rarely have the chance to surf with anyone.  Conditions looked good from afar, but the small knee-thigh waves were really hard to catch early and you had to get them late.  If you did get one, it was a very short ride and you risked hitting swimmers or ending up in 2 feet of water.  Mel actually got up on a wave for a split second and then did a face plant into the water.  Water was really warm and the day was hot.  My arms are still a little sore 3 days later.  Must be getting old.  I need to trade in that WRV for another long board for Mel so we can continue to do this!
