June 24, 2026 - Town Beach, Narragansett, RI

 It's been a very long time since I have surfed RI.  These days, it's just closer to go to NH.  This was a unique opportunity to get some surfing in before I picked up Laura, Evan and his friend Nate from the TF Green Airport from a trip to Puerto Rico.  I got there a bit late due to a work meeting notifying us of the sale of the company.  I got to the beach at about 7:45, but it was one of the longest days of the year.  Got in the water at about 8 and only surfed for about 45 minutes until it got dark.  It was really nice to surf RI again.  The evening was really nice with the sunset on the land side and air brushed sky on the water side with the moon shinning.  It was about waist high and clean with very low wind.  Water was RI warm and used the RC.  Caught about 56 or 6 waves.  Hung out a bit into the dark and watched the teens run around on the beach.

June 19, 2026 - The Wall, Hampton, NH

Quick decision to go surfing on this Friday morning after some rainy weather the day before.  I left the house at 6:15 and got there just after 7:00 AM.  Had my McTavish for the smallish clean waves, but the NW wind was like 15-20 MPH and really hard to deal with.  The water was fareeeezing with no gloves, but did wear my booties.  Most of my paddling was fighting the wind.  I only got 2 waves, both near the end of my session.  Not that many people out, probably due to the wind.  Mel was heading up to the Wall later with Mr. Lacoste.
