Alex and Anne, waiting for a setAlex has this funny hybrid board. It looks like a rockered out mini longboard, with a thruster fin set up. It's really wide, but very thin. Odd duck. Looks like it'd be fun on a bigger wave than we had... So I put him on the Kalama 11'6" SUP. It took him about 5 minutes to get the thing dialed in. By the end of the sesh, he was connecting rides all the way to the inside shorebreak section! Sweet!
Alex Getting his "Sea Legs"
And driving down the line, 5 minutes later!We had the beach all to ourselves, until this big group of people on horses came trotting on by. I thought it was interesting to see the two modes of transportation side by side. I'm pretty darned sure the environmental footprint of a truck is bigger than that of a horse. But my truck didn't leave any huge piles of steaming crap on the beach, like the horses did!
Centuries old vs one month old transportation!In other news, the Hatteras WaveFest 2008 starts in just about a week, with a clinic being held at Sailworld Cape Hatteras. We've got tons of swag to give away, and a brand new sail to raffle off at the clinic (not to mention the invaluable techniques and advice you'll learn)! So sign up, and swing on by the shop!!
Speaking of the shop, it's getting on towards closeout time of the year!! If you're coming down to Hatteras this fall, and have any specific items on your wish list, give us a call {(252)995-5441} to make sure we've got what you're looking for. We can get virtually anything under the sun, as long as you give us enough lead time (at least 2 weeks is preferable). See ya soon, I'll have your new stick waiting for you when you arrive!! : )
