6/20-6/21/09 Corolla

Well as strange as it sounds, Corolla delivers for the second week in a row. We had waist to chest waves with a light offshore breeze, some flies. The waves were perfect. Surfed with Bracken, Pat, Kevin, Patrick (Earl's grandson.) while Lauren and Amy hung out on the beach with Hooper, Brody, and Indy.
The next day it blew NNE 25-30. Smallest gear I had was the 101 FSW and 6.2 Icon. It worked though. Awesome, awesome session, right at the end of Bismark, used the golf cart to get the gear to and from the beach. Nice airtime, nice swell riding, with the occasional wave to get a turn on.

Knee to waist at the end of Bismark. 2 sessions, late morning, late afternoon. Tons-o-dolphins. Very nice, water was beautiful. Boston Terrier central, with 6 dogs at one point. Golf cart is back in the rotation but seems like it may fold in half, literally. Dropped off O'Neill Guru 3/2 with Dave at IR. Maybe he can do something with it, if not, I will have to send it back to O'Neill. Maybe head back down next week.

6/5/09 Avon

Rented Tabou Pocket Wave 85 and sailed it on the sound w/ a 5.3 for a couple hours. Turns great, jumps nice and extremely comfortable. Slow. Too slow, and is a little hard to get upwind. Wind then went 4.0 and we sailed the reef for another couple hours. Me, Billy, Contos, Rowland. Reef was very rough and was not setting up very well. Still, lots of BIG air. Fun day, returning to a semi flooded Norfolk.

5/20-5/24/09 Avon

Rented a gigantic house with Rob, Ted, Dan, Crouching Tiger. No wind for the first 2 days. Had waist to chest waves in Frisco Thursday and Friday. Nice. Rob and Dan rented a Starboard SUP which Rob rode very well. Margaret and Olaf came over Friday night for a rigging lesson and we drank and shot pool after pizza. Saturday we had 7.0 wind at Jockey's ridge. A very unfullfilling session followed by Ted forbading us from eating peanuts in his GMC K1500 Suburban. I also did a small amount of damage to the 101 after running aground at JR. Fun few days, not nearly enough wind.

5/19/09 East Beach

ENE 20, 101/6.2. Short session w/ Jack, Billy, Bob. Much nicer than Buckroe. Dan and The Crouching Tiger arrive tomorrow.

5/18/09 Buckroe

NNE 20-25. 6.2/101. Choppy, uncomfortable, funish. Me, Billy, Glenn, Knight.

5/17/09 Chicks

5.3/Acid. Shifty, Gusty, Biggish. NNE. Fun but extremely disorganized. Sailed with Rob.
