Not much to say, except my body is exhausted and my hands hurt. The wind was a bit more variable yesterday, on and off planing on my 5.0. The waves were still there, waist to head high sets. I ended … Continue reading →

We finally had some classic June conditions set in! Cranking SW winds, a fun waist to head high swell, warm air, and warm water all combined to create super fun conditions at Ego Beach last night. Should be just like … Continue reading →

Finally, after what seems like years, we’ve got a little bit of swell starting to hit our beaches! In reality, it’s only been about a week of truly flat conditions… But everyone knows what that’ll do to your psyche… And … Continue reading →

Our normal SW afternoon winds have been less than reliable lately. I think the wildfire across the sound is messing with our “thermal” component, hindering the vertical mixing that usually ushers in evening SW breeze. I’ve been hesitant to give … Continue reading →

The excitement level is very high right now here on Hatteras! We had lots of “firsts” the other day, including George‘s well documented first loops, and Anne’s not so well documented first windsurfing foray into the ocean! My sincerest congratulations … Continue reading →

**Update 6/16/08- New Pics added! Initial side note: I’m cast free! I’m almost totally healed up, but my hand’s a little sore from lack of use. The bone feels pretty solid, but I think I’m going to give it a … Continue reading →

At this time tomorrow, Friday the 13th, I will be cast-less, and free!! With any luck, I’ll remain cast free, although that’s up to the doctor. I’m expecting to at least have a splint or taped up fingers, but that’s … Continue reading →

Sitting on the beach, taking pictures, is fun. Up to a certain point. With just 6 days until freedom, I’m about to explode. Or implode. Fun sized, ultra clean surf over the last few days has not made it any … Continue reading →

We just received the latest issue of Windsport Magazine here at the Shop, the Early Summer 2008 edition. While flipping through the pages, I was stoked to see a few pictures and articles from right here on the Hatteras homefront! … Continue reading →

Good action the last few days! It’s been tearing me up inside to be sitting on the beach watching, but taking photos has acted as a great distraction/new challenge! Friday evening we had some light winds and small shore break … Continue reading →
