Yo Surfriders, Hope you caught somewhere today , we are in Hatteras . Holy crap it's BIG and offshore . Only took this picture before paddling out this afternoon , thinking I would get some shots with the Go Pro . Ducked dived first wave of set , as next one hammered me so fucking hard it completely sheared camera off its mount and made me say my prayers. Good thing for the little leash , as kept camera undamaged { except for tab } . 2 sessions of a life time , solid 6 foot swell , 10 foot plus faces with double overhead monster tubes. Had a blast as Melissa charged it and caught a few bombs. Been a long time since set wave ran a chill up my spine like today , Zog Sunday, October 2, 2011
Hatteras is Honking

You lucky dog. You caught it great in Hatteras last year too. Glad you could still get there and enjoy it. I hope to make it in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteMost everything is closed , only saw a couple other surfers. No one out a lighthouse , as everyone is surfing from the third jetty / motels and down to Canadian hole. Spookey catching this place so big and being only ones out this afternoon . Caught some of the biggest offshore pits I've ever caught on the East Coast .Hopefully some more perfection tomorrow . !!!
ReplyDeleteman that looks fun. was this on the south side? no side shore current?
ReplyDeleteI broke a tab off my GoPro casing during the Maria swell. Our windsurfing buddy Andy McKinney at Wind-NC in Avon (behind Hatteras Island Boardsports across from Avon Pier) sells GoPro equipment if you need an immediate replacement. He's good people. 252 995-4400
ReplyDeleteNorth side , Motels just north of the lighthouse . Monday am and it's shoulder to head high and straight offshore. Just got out , super clear water and barreling madness.
ReplyDeleteAll that training pays off on days like this huh! My neck hurts just looking at those pits. Mike carter was up there somewhere that day.
