Thank you North Carolina
With all the crazy storms happening down south in NC, today was the start of a week of nice swell coming through New Jersey. I sent in my long lens for repair, so if I wanted to shoot anything before I got a replacement it was going to have to be from in the water. After dusting off the underwater housing from the last time I used it in warm St. Maarten, and borrowing a wetsuit from my buddy Stevie, I got in the water and captured a few good moments. The current was so strong I couldn't hold my ground in the kill zone, and after nearly 3 hours and vanishing morning light, I called it a day. Water temp is getting bearable (55 degrees) and the weather is getting warmer (90 today!). Summer is well on its way.
