It's been one heck of a few days... Stuart, Chris, Dan and I sailed the Lighthouse yesterday afternoon, pretty juiced 5.0 and some big sets rolling through! Personally, I had a pretty short sesh, due to some equipment malfunctions... But I got one sweeeet wave and a few good jumps, and a nice, long, relaxing swim followed by a nice, long, relaxing walk back up the beach. Stuart claimed the biggest wave he's ever ridden on the outer bar, and it looked well over mast high to me! Sickness!!

Chris on the way in. There were some nuggets out there!Stuart and I sailed again this afternoon, down past the Ferry Docks in Hatteras Village. It was pretty finnicky, gusty, shifty wind and waves, but when it all lined up, there were some rad moments! I saw Stuart throw some serious spray with his new wave board, he is amped on that stick! I caught a few waves myself, with a few good lip smacks, but my jumping was feeling a lot better today. Lots of good forwards and a bunch of great backloop attempts... Gettin' close....

Nice Andy!
I was waiting see what I missed over the past few days down there! Nothing like afternoon client teleconferences, and interview sessions to cut into my windsurfing play time. Gotta love when these things are scheduled during two days of solid OBX windy weather. Though, I would be much more bummed if it was 70 deg and sunny over the past two sessions! Oh well, keeping an eye out for the next bout of triple yellow stars on WindGuru!
How was the water temp today down there near Hatteras Inlet?
heavenly shorbreak at the lighthouse huh.

Hey Bill, yeah, bummer you missed it, but there will be many many more... Spring's just getting started!
Water was reasonable, although Stu and I were both fully covered in boots, hoods, and mitts... probably overkill, though.
George, the lighthouse shorebreak did not disappoint! I love that first pic of Stu launching into logohigh whitewater! It really wasn't that tough to get off the beach, though, with a little timing.
