Moving on, to the Pleasure:

It has been unbelievably windy down here in Hatteras! I've been grabbing dawn and dusk sessions, which timing wise has been a bit of a bummer because the wind has been light, while mid day, all day, it's been blowing 30+..... but, whatever, it's still fun to get out there and catch some waves or work on the freestyle! Here are a bunch of pics from the weekend (taken by either Anne or me)

Dawn Sesh! Small Waves, Medium wind

Sunset Sesh, Super light wind wave schlog. I'm getting a great feel for that Tabou Pocket 80! (It Rips)


Keith schlogged around, too

And was killin' it with all of his normal style

Ken K, rigged and ready, dawn sesh

I'm loving this new board! Even at 80 liters it's uphaul-able and schlogs like a champ!

Birthday Boy Stuart!!

Sunset wave schlog. Check out Rick on the right hand side of the pic!

Olaf on the face!

Even though the wind was light and the waves were small, I'm still adept at making big splashes!

That's better!

Rick has been all over the place, emailing me about all his exploits in the wind!

Small, mushy, and surprisingly fun!
