The venue today was Broadkill Beach on the Deleware Bay. When I pulled in to the parking lot at 10.30am, I was surprised to see that it wasn’t blowing 35. That being said, I wasn’t disappointed. Lit 5.0 conditions, although its was chilly.
Niko Iampieri rigs up for the first time at Broadkill, my home patch.
We launched at about high tide, and the shorebreak was enough to have to respect. Still, nothing like yesterday, an no current. Step on and blast off.
One particular reach was especially memorable. We found some really strong wind on the outside, and we just blasted, seemed like half way across the bay. Sunlight shining its warmth and highlighting the texture on the water. Big rolling swells pitching vertical, floaty airs, and we just were so dialed, blasting close to each other. Pretty epic stuff.
No booties, but by three oclock, my hands where getting sufficiently numb that I was letting the rig slip through my hands cuz the motor skills where slowing.
I shot some helmet cam action today, so check back for that!
Still smiling as I write this. Ahhhhhhhhhh, what a weekend! Life is so good.
How'd you guys make out down in Hatteras today? I saw it was honking down there. Did Ocracoke fire????
Niko, glad you could make it out this weekend. Tuesday looks good…………..looking forward………
