I had a most excellent session at Napeague on Saturday. But there was another session we must tell you about, featuring the usual suspects plus waves, at Cupsogue. If only I had been there too! But I wasn't, so here is Peconic Jeff's report:
"Nearly everyone got stuck in the soft sand and had to let out air, but once there we found nukin' 4.2/4.7. Christian & I had first checked out Ponquogue, which looked muuuch better: cleaner, more organized waves, but the Cup offered zero shorebreak.
Scott got some major air on a few jumps, and Jon Sassone was throwing bottom turns and cutbacks in the thick of the breaking waves. Christian had a 'breakthrough day', popping up and over breaking whitewater with ease. First day sailing with gloves & booties!
Sailor roll call: Scott, Wolf, Bruce, Jan, myself (Jeff), Christian, Jon Ford, Anders,
Jon Sassone, Sasha & Christina, & John Natalie."
An editor's note: John "he only sails when conditions are perfect" Natalie is an excellent indicator of the day's quality. If I could have only been in two sessions at once!
(From the top: Scott and Bruce line them up. Air Scott. Air Wolf. Jonathan. There's no picture of Jeff Schultz because this is
Jeff Schultz photography...thanks Jeff!)
Looks brilliant.
