Lane DuPont just sent a few pics my way, from the Marathon Ego Beach sesh on Wednesday! Owing to the fact that Lane is “The Man” behind the lens, he’s become a main supplier of local Hatteras action shots for … Continue reading →

Oh man, I am feeling rocked today! We had a marathon Ego Beach session yesterday, lit up 5.0 all afternoon! Conditions weren’t the easiest in the world with a ripping (over 5 knots?) littoral current right in the impact zone, … Continue reading →

I’ve always wondered how much exercise we get when we go windsurfing. So I stole (err- borrowed) Anne’s heart rate monitor while she wasn’t looking, and went for a skate sailing session! First things first, here’s an explanation of basic … Continue reading →

Man it’s been fun the last few days! Frisco George, Mark S, Loopee and I got in some fun (but gusty) 5.0 on Friday afternoon. The air was warm, but the water was cold so we were all dressed like … Continue reading →

We’ve had some great surf down here the last few days! It’s been chilly, but the waves have been fun enough to warrant dealing with the cold. Mmmmmm…. I grabbed a quick sesh Wednesday evening. It was about chest to … Continue reading →

Anne and I were out and about yesterday, all the way over in Greenville, when the “Snow Emergency” hit. What a joke. Zero snow was sticking to the roadways, there was about a 1/2 a centimeter in the grass and … Continue reading →

Hmmm… Well, I’m procrastinating this morning… It’s full on 5.0 conditions out there, but a bit chilly, as the thermometers are registering 26 degrees Fahrenheit (-3C for all you non-American readers). I am planning on heading out in a bit, … Continue reading →

The whole point of the wrap-up is to serve as a reference for people thinking about coming to Hatteras. Hopefully, it’ll give you an idea of what to expect, on a month by month basis! Unfortunately, it’s pretty boring to … Continue reading →

Never ending perfect days down here, I tell you. Wind for a portion of the day, surf for the rest. Over and over again…. Lots of people out on the water, and obviously, everyone’s in a good mood! Remind me, … Continue reading →

Had a few sick-o multisport days on Thursday and Friday! My friend Dan and I have been on different schedules lately, but we were able to sync up and get out there. He’s super fun to hit the water with, … Continue reading →

…2009… The year of chumping out… For on this first windy day, I have forsaken my 3 sail quiver, and rigged a fourth. Yes yes, it’s true. I rigged… down (gasp). Today I sailed with Anne’s 3.7, instead of just … Continue reading →

Well, I was cleaning up the ol’ computer and came across a bunch of video footage that I had totally forgotten about! VT Don was nice enough to film a sunset session at the Canadian Hole. It’s from the same … Continue reading →

Just got back to NC! The first thing I heard, upon exiting the car, was a wave breaking. Gotta love being across the street from the beach! And the first thing I did was take off all the layers I … Continue reading →

(Picture salvaged from July 4th, 2008, but it fits the bill) Happy New Year, Folks!! 2008 was pretty insane (in a good way). Cheers, to more, bigger, and better in 2009!! Y’all are the best, keep up the good work, … Continue reading →
