a thing in 40 photos in 2008 far rockaway showing 2008 only · show all years 7 out of 10! A couple minutes later, the rest of our group returned from a walk and decided to get in the mix. Going for 10! 5 out of 7! Getting there! 3 out of 7. 300% improvement! The larger your group is, the more difficult it is to capture everyone's feet in the air when you're taking a jumping photo. 1 out of 7 = FAIL! As we stood there debating, the waves kept getting bigger and bigger. Check out the size of the curl! Insanity. In waves were crashing so violently and the undertow was so strong that everyone swimming ended up clearing out. I think this is about as far in to the water as any of us went. Oh, summer. We walked down to the water to check out the absolutely massive (for NYC) waves that were starting to break. Check out the curl and spray! Debating whether or not to do in. Oh man. Every summer comes to an end. September sneaks up on you and you need to fight fall off a little bit longer with as many more trips to the beach as you can get in before the weather turns! Mandy and Brother Lawrence. We rounded up a massive crew and all went to Far Rockaway to enjoy the lovely late summer weather. Catrinel looking summery. Awesome, blacked-out A-Team style van that's always parked right by the boardwalk. We headed back home around 4:30. Take three! If you squint, it looks like they're spelling out S-H-I-T! Take two. Beach Jump! Take Four is my favorite! Everyone's doing their own thing. Take Three! Meredith got tangled up in her cape. Haha. Got your cape all tied on? Good! It's time for.... Take Two. Total FAIL. But check out Gurj almost perfectly miming her exact pose and expression as the first take! ....obligatory photos of everyone jumping at the beach! Yay! Take One: Gurj, Scott and Amanda have amazing form in this pic. Sarah, however, failed to achieve lift off. At the beach we met up with Amanda and Scott! ...but ended after 20 minutes of drizzling with no sign of blue skies in sight, we decided to call it a day... On Saturday, a whole bunch of us went back out to Far Rockaway for a beach day... ...but it started raining after we'd only been there for 30 minutes! We tried waiting it out on the boardwalk... Elevated subway. Just me? Anyone else recognize this road from driving on it in Grand Theft Auto 4? Heading back to the subway. Usually we go to the western, more deserted part of Rockaway Beach, but this time we went to the main beach so that Pauly could surf. The lovely boardwalk. Handsome beach kids. The next morning, Nina and I got up super-early and took the A train out to Far Rockaway. It was completely and totally deserted and it was AWESOME. Crazy that this is beach is a 45-minute, $2-dollar subway ride away from Manhattan, right?
