Lighthouse Video
Well the Lighthouse was working pretty well the last few days! When the wind stays more North than NE the swell never really pushes in the right direction to wrap around to the southside, so side/side on at the Lighthouse is pretty much the only option... Not that I'm complaining! The Lighthouse is pretty darned fun when it all lines up... The waves are a lot heavier than they look, and a little tricky to be in the right spot, so you do have to plan ahead a bit (especially with the whole current + light wind inside thing), but when it all lines up it's pretty sweet, with long down the line rides and sometimes some absolutely huge jumps...
I caught a little bit of footage with the GoPro camera. Of course, the half hour when the wind bumped up to the "lit" level was after the batteries died... Never fails... haha! But there's still some cool stuff in there... Check it out!
I caught a few pictures of Keith, too, before I went out last night (my trigger finger wasn't timing it right, Keith was making some sweet turns right before and after these shots):
The clew-mount camera angle really shows the jumps and back side rides well. I guess the best frontside camera angle is sitting on the beach watching the sailor go down the line.
Wave Fest isn't coming fast enough. I've had to resort to lifting weights to be ready for the action (ugghhh!).

One of my goals in writing this blog is to help people experience that vacation sensation, of being "Lost In Hatteras," anytime, anywhere. You'll most likely find a near daily report of the day's windsurf or surf conditions, a few relevant pictures of the action, and some not-so-profound thoughts on life. Enjoy, and I hope to see you soon!

Awesome stuff, nice video...
Also, I couldn't agree more that your sex is, in fact, on fire.

Awesome video! Great tune as well. Been near the top of my playlist lately.

Great vid. I like the clew mount too. Are you using the gopro tubular mount?
Nice glassy waves on the video. We're getting skunked down here in SNC wind-wise. Looking forward to a good North end day or wave fest.
