Who's gone out so far? I hit up Croatan around 2:30 til around 4:30ish, it was REALLY sloppy but the sets that came through were head high and then some. Got a little tiny bit of barrel in there. It was different using the 5'10 I just picked up, the 3 inches smaller I went feels like I cut a foot off of my board. I'm going to try and go check it out in the morning, hopefully the storm has passed by then.
Went out around 9 today and surfed til around 1. It was awesome, really strong rip on the outside and the current was inside. Paddle out was RIDICULOUS, totally worth it though. Massive sets, it was an eye pleaser as well. Oh, and don't know if my first hurricane was exactly the best time to learn about this new board ha-ha, things super fast and turns sharp as ever.
Croatan off the hook this afternoon. Clean Head to overhead. Love when the waves are that big because it keeps so many people out of the water or they paddle out and just sit on the outside because they just can't make the commitment.
Yea bro it was so nice tonight, I napped til around 5 and went back out. It was so clean, I got real deep in one and just got closed out. Was so much better than this morning, this morning made me feel real weak haha. My shoulders were so sore tonight, I was fighting to paddle there and on top of that everyone was cool as hell out there tonight, I didn't see anyone get snaked. Everyone was just stoked and feeding off of each other. So nice, def going to have a lot higher morale for work tomorrow now
Sooo much fun this afternoon/evening. Seemed to be dying down a little though as it got late. Just glad I went this afternoon instead waiting for tmrw
Right on, what were you guys riding? Never know who you're talking to in the line up haha. This guy got a longboard broken over his shoulder, then was run over later on a few lines down the night. He was tearing it up
Croatan jetty or 1st st? I was mostly off by Municipal and Pendleton (which was sweet because noone got a ticket today) Did anyone get any pictures? I'm pretty sure even ghetto ass Ocean View over by NOB was going off hahaha.
HA- dont joke, there is actually a small cult of bay surfers around here. My buddy from the ship yard took me out to their spot during the nor-eastern last year. Surprisingly decently waves to be had out there... but they just talked **** about ocean surfers the whole time... imagine that? Im going to jump ship and head down to obx today, according to our trusty forecast it should be chest high and perfect in rodanthe.
I missed it, I was on duty all day. Got out this morning for a little bit, it was fun but nothing compared to Friday or Saturday.
dude thats my coworker dave! with the orange and blue shortboard! i was his sponger friend haha. who were you out there? that last wave i rode in was sickkkk.... 8ft hollow barrel that didnt close out. dude on the beach said i disappeared and then pulled out of it! perfect way to end the day i didnt want to leave. Now its pretty much flat again
Haha no **** whats up man! I was the guy with that 5'10 WRV board who was surfing with you guys towards the end. Kept joking about my hair and **** and had the mauri hook tattoo. And yea that is a perfect way to end the day bro
yea man i had a feeling it was you haha not many people were around to see the board break on him haha... looks like its going to be flat this week.. we need more storms!
You guys should have seen rodanthe yesterday. Well overhead and grinding. It was so big in the morning that noah snider and jesse hines were out on ski's getting stand up barrels left and right. SICK!!! The only thing bigger than the waves down there were the flies, holy sh*t, earl!
