Monthly Archives: August 2008

or, words, as it may be. We just got the September 2008 issue of the New England Windsurfing Journal in the mail. Peter decided to publish a slightly “heavier than usual” column that I wrote last fall, while sleepless, as … Continue reading →

Hmmm. Someone stole my dirty boardshorts while they were drying on the porch. LAME. They were cool shorts, too. Billabong made them out of recycled textiles and plastic bottles. They call the fabric “Eco Supreme Suede.” Pretty cool stuff. So, … Continue reading →

Fun swell the last few days! Last night it was blowing very light onshore, which was bowling them up pretty nicely. They had a bit of size too, if you were patient and waited for the sets. Most of ‘em … Continue reading →

Finally got some sailing in today! It really reminded me of the Caribbean out there. Crystal clear blue water, warm (well, hot), and some sucker wind. Just enough breeze to lure you out there, but not enough to really get … Continue reading →

Nothing epic to report from the last few days… But we have had a fun little background swell. Only waist high (at best), but I’ll take it for August. The water is crystal clear and refreshing, to cool off on … Continue reading →

Hooo I am feeling worked this morning! Snuck in 5 killer surf sessions over the last two days. Lots of really long lefts were hitting the bars, some of them lining up for well over 30 or 40 yard rides! … Continue reading →

Highs and Lows the last few days… Sometimes I leave the island, in order to remind myself how amazing this lifestyle is. I spent a day up in Elizabeth City, dealing with some vehicle issues. Tell you what, Toyota is … Continue reading →

Lately, we’ve been surfing very close to the shop (I’m not tellin’ you exactly where, though). After closing up for the night, we’ve just been walking across the street with our boards, which is terribly convenient. I’m not going to … Continue reading →

Hmmmmm… Who will be the 20,000 visitor? I’ll send a free Sailworld Hatteras T-Shirt to the lucky person, if I can figure out who the heck you are from the stat counter! Now that I think about it, I’ve been … Continue reading →

There is just so much to be amped about right now! Great forecast, more magazine coverage, another Hatteras Windsurfing Event in the workings… Loving it! First, Bill just announced the Hatteras Wave Fest 2008!! We’re blocking off the last 2 … Continue reading →

Summer out here on Hatteras Island is tough to beat. The water’s warm, the air’s hot, and the wind blows pretty darned often, especially compared to the rest of the East Coast. We just got 3 days in a row … Continue reading →
