On an average summer day, there’s about 15 hours of daylight. That’s a pretty stark contrast to the nine hours of daylight on a winter day. It’s not that life stops on LBI during the winter; there’s just a lot less time to enjoy the salt and sea that we love so much. In June, July and August, we wake up early, we run, we kayak on the bay, we crab, we surf at low tide and SUP when the wind is light. We pack it all in.

And during the summer, it’s good to get together for these passions, perhaps have some friendly competition.
