The Main Event - Loop-Off Day

What an amazing day! The conditions were almost perfect for the Main Event. South West mid-twenties.

While I have yet to sail away from a forward and am not a serious competitor (this year anyway), it was still a lot of fun to participate. I feel so fortunate to be part of the first ever Hatteras Loop Fest.

With the gallery up on the beach and dunes watching and photographers documenting the action, it felt like a PWA event.

Just having a blast!

throw some spray





One of the few times I tried a forward today:


Here I'm trying again

Andy McKinney won the trophy for most loop attempts:
