Ego Beach/Canadian Hole Marathon Sesh

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, but every now and then a nice wave face would open up for a few down the line turns. Good stuff, overall, definitely left me with a smile on my face!

Anne, after work jibe at the Hole!

I like the picture above- it shows the sparse feeling of Hatteras. This is one of the most famous windsurfing sites on the East Coast, yet all it consists of are a few outhouses and a parking lot (with 3 cars in it). Just over the dunes, you can find Ego Beach, wide open to the thrashings of the Atlantic Ocean. One could hit a baseball clear across the island, from water's edge to water's edge! (but I wouldn't recommend it, you might clock a unsuspecting sunbather in the caboose)

Here's a quick clip of Loopee and Anne bombing around at the Canadian Hole, enjoying the strong winds and 60+ degree air temps!



It was great to see everyone out and about yesterday, as it seems like I've been sailing alone all winter! Cheers, to a warm windy SW day in January!!

On a purely shop related note, now's the time to get in touch if you're looking for anything specific this spring! Shoot me an email and I'll help you pick through the hundreds of rig choices out there to get you on the correct piece of equipment! There are a handful of closeouts available, too, so there are some sweet deals to be found. In any case, if we get the ball rolling now, we can be certain to have your new board or sail ready and waiting come Spring Time (which will be here sooner than you think)!

Hope to hear from you/See you soon!
