Marlon and I headed to Surfboard Factory Outlet to get a board sock for his shortboard. It's always fun looking at the new boards they have over there. After that we headed to Pine Trees to get a quick session in. The tide was peaking at 1.9' (I should have used the 29.5" Mast + 3" track adaptor - but I was lazy and just used the same setup as the past couple of sessions - GL180, P18W, 24.5"+3" adaptor, 4'10" Foil Board). The swell was at best stomach high. The wind was onshore and rather stiff - it did chop up the water quite a bit.
It was also crowded. I paddled further towards White Plains, but still on the Pine Trees side of the barriers - only a few people over there. I caught a few, pumped back out on a couple and then called it so we could go eat some takeout sushi from our favorite sushi restaurant (that just opened back up for business - still takeout only).
Marlon had put his longboard away and had come back to the beach with his cell phone - he took these pictures from the beach.
I actually tried to pick up speed before shooting out the back of the wave so I could get the foil airborne. I was nowhere near staying on board and sticking a landing - but you got to start somewhere.
