| "When a spark ignites that tiny little fire and you decide that it's time to get back out there, you're gonna find that you're out of surf shape, that your timing is a little off, and that you might struggle a little getting to your feet, often clambering. This is normal, and part of the whole process. " -Craig Jarvis Pushing to get ahead...most of the evening. Holidays and 66th Street, 6/3/2020. |
Water was already into the upper 60's. Getting warmer, but I wasn't feelin' it. Even in a spring shortie, my legs and arms were freezing. Not getting in at all during most of the Spring left me very thin skinned. But, had the heightened sensitivity to the Atlantic's salt. Just filled my head. Missed being in the water. Warm winds outta of the south helped with the chill. Thigh high front-sides, kinda flat breakin'. Tried to get ahead of the curve early. Had some troubles. Searched for position. Took a while to find a groove. Stoked when I did. Off season rust sucks. By the end of the sesh the winds had shifted east and the swell started getting chunky. Last ride was the most gratifying. Most likely 'cause it was the longest. Called it a day. Glad the beaches are open again. Plan to take advantage. TIme to get wet!
Lewes, DE, sits on the corner of the mouth of the Delaware River and the home to Crooked Hammock Brewery. A Session IPA that fit the evening's session quite conveniently. Easy drinkin' at 4.5%, Beach Escape poured an airy amber with a near 2-finger foamy white head. Thin lacing that disappeared a fast as that last ride. Aromas of tangerine with notes of grassy pine. Tastes burst with hoppiness at 42 IBUs. Light grapefruit, and the continued shine of citrus. Finished clean, but a little weak. Sessions are always challenged to avoid that "lite" feeling. Could definitely throw back a couple or three of these. Rated a B/B-.
