Ceci n'est pas un foto du surf.

Yesterday dawned early. 4 o'clock AM and we were up in varied states of duress glazed with the hope of the incoming swell. By 7 AM we were in the waters off Long Island, picking out clean & healthy chest to shoulder rights and lefts. By 11 AM, further east still, in the driveway sipping rum and playing petanc, waiting for grilled-up goodies. By 3PM, intermittently downing Red Stripes and trying our best not to bust our backs in the Amagansett shore pound. 5 PM, in the backyard salt water pool and by 8 PM a return to Smitty's, enjoying the chunky evening leftovers. 9:30 PM munching on the fastest vegetarian fare Mastic has to offer. Yesterday closed late. Midnight back in bed in Brooklyn.
Suffice to say, Friday was a good day in and around the water.

Here is the thoroughly unhelpful inexplicatory video. Music By W. Nelson.

Won't make that mistake twice.

These films always remind me to take fun seriously, but not myself nor surfing. :)
