Welcome, Tropical Storm Alberto

Tom, Monmouth County, N.J. Image: Incitti

This is a shot of Shawn Zappo from Monmouth County, NJ. I met Shawn after this shot, and as it turns out he play in an awesome heavy metal band called Changes. Image: Incitti

This is a tube that Tom got earlier in the week before Alberto came. Image: Incitti

Tom in New York. Take two. Image: Incitti

The color of the water changes as the seasons change in New Jersey. This was taken about a week and a half before Alberto. Image: Incitti

Local New Yorker to show us around, Joey Parrino. Image: Incitti

Joe manages a pizza restaurant which is open until 4 a.m. and is next to a bar. If this kid is not working, he is surfing. I'm not sure about his sleep schedule. Image: Incitti

This is a shot of Tom Petriken with Luke Ditella paddling. These two surf a lot together and like to find big jetties to themselves. Image: Incitti

Here is a line up from Alberto. The waves were nothing special but it had size. Just like any other pre-hurricane surf session. Image: Incitti

The fog was pretty overwhelming the day after the last shot of Tom, but the surf I got was fun. Image: Incitti

This was New York during Alberto. The waves look much better from this high angle. Don't let these high angles get you. This was taken right before I took the drive back home, leading up to this photo of Brendan Tighe. Image: Incitti
