Today was a really amazing day. Ventured out to the Nature Shapes showroom where I just had my boards glassed by legendary Long Island surfer and craftsman Ed Fawess. Needless to say the work was tight! After that I headed out to Mastic Beach and met up with Mastic's most Mastastic resident, Lentini, the one and only Deebo (Homeboy is Lost On A Sandbar) and big boy frontiersman Tom who is a decorated fisherman and all around jack of all trades. We waded out at this beautiful little spot and just caught fish after fish for about 2 hours. We ended up with 20 or so blue fish that we later brought back to the Lentini household where we open fire cooked the fish and had frontiersman Tom showed us the ins and outs of filleting a fish and skinning it. I can equate today to a chest high glassy day of surfing. Totally epic. 

Today wouldn't be possible without the help and guidance of Deebo and Tom. Much appreciated!
