4'10" new ride for the boy #5 for me getting better

WOW, summer is cruising by, pain and surfing.  Can't say surf has been great but it has been doable almost all summer.  Not sure how many days it has been but we have not missed many, feeling water logged and the back is tight.  Must be growing new muscles.  The kid is loving the new ride.  A 4'10" fat bottom ride that i installed Future fin boxes in without a jig of any sorts.  Nerve racking at best.
Here's a collection of web found favorites since i haven't been taking too many photos this summer.  All (except the last one) were found on the web and I have no idea where credit belongs, sorry about that. 
Enjoy what's left of the neoprene days.

Late winter and early spring have dropped some good days on us whether it's been at Wrightsville Beach or a leap across the inlet to Masonboro.  The last couple weeks the weather has been steadily improving and the water temp has been on the rise.  Most people are out without boots and gloves and the walrus suits of winter are slowly getting thinner.  Bikinis and board shorts have been along the edge of the shore and a couple in the line-up but they aren't lasting long in the 60 deg water.  It won't be long and we will all be out of the neoprene for a while.  Hallelu Jah.

Free parking at the WB at least 'til March.  Seems like months since waves.  The Northeast, however, is climbing out of snow from a Nor'easter one week after the destruction from Sandy.

a very small wave today with the tide almost low at 10.  but every now and then a little bit of fun would roll our way.  it is really close to fishing time large schools of mullet are still cruising the beach.

Wrightsville Beach, as Tropical Depression Alberto moved passed, got a nice swell this morning.  The wind was W at 7 and had started to roll to the SW by 9.  That SW was holding up the Easterly Swell making for some nice chest high walls on the high tide.  By 11 the wind had gone SE and was starting to mess with it a bit, but people were still heading to the beach in droves.  Right now the wind is S at 15 gusting up to 17 and really messing it up.  If you didn't get it early maybe wait to this evening.  Hopefully, the wind will let up and the rising tide will keep it going.
