Tropical Storm Nicole Serves It Up

Venue: Slaughter Beach, Delaware

Secured the insurance sesh on the 4.7

then quickly re-rigged to my 4.2 wave vogue

RRD wave Vogue 4.2

cool graphics huh!

the 4.2 was just right :)

Amazing-rigging a half meter smaller sail made all the difference. I was dialed.

Love my twin fin-works awesome as a bump-n-jump board

Slaughter is hands down epic in a Southeast Gale

ramps line up perfectly

for big air

Touch down. Cool thing about the twin fins is you never spin out. Ever.

the twin is so loose

and gybes so smooth

ramps were perfect-both starboard or port

see the Ghost ship on the horizon

oh yeah

all day long

blasting

amazing thing is they were predicting 7 inches of rain

I hit the water at 11am, and it didn't start raining until I was unrigged and packing up at 3.30.

Finally, a good looking strectch of wind. Next 5 days looks to be windy. Stoked!

STANDUPELEVEN
The first SUP shape introduced in 2009 remains a reference board for entry level programs and a very versatile shape for both flat water and waves. Well-balanced and stable thanks to its 31” of width; the standup eleven softskin is now also available in the convertible technology.

The WASSUP line
These are designed first an foremost as stable and versatile paddle boards, but windsurfers are just as impressed with these boards as paddlers are. Two sizes are available with footstraps for great flat-water fun or real light wind wave sailing action and each size is available with a center fin, making them great choices for light wind windsurfing and even beginners.  Rave reviews at flat water and wave windsurf demos and wave paddle demos prove that RRD is on to something here.

The Diamond line
While RRD designed these boards with wave riding in mind, they still provide excellent glide thanks to a flatter mid section and generous width in the front. Efficient paddling in flat water or when speeding up to catch a wave, but step back and the thin, narrow tail provide very impressive wave riding characteristics.

We also have close out windsurfing gear available for sale.

More Pics From The Ocracoke Sesh

Headin out

nice to have power to jump when you need to

see that gull in the foreground :)

couple of turns on this.....

.....this one was about to become a monster closeout

over mast high-and running for the clearing

Charlie (or Jim) Myers was out in front of me, hooting and hollering. I was running from that closeout!

more hits when the wave reforms on the inner bar

these where the longest wave rides I'd EVER had. Several were 7-8 bottom and top turns.

I was just trying to sneak away unscathed, with no broken gear, or body parts. I succeeded.

The Hatteras locales, on the other hand, where putting on a show:

Charlie Myers

Keith McCulloch

Caleb Jacobs

so yeah, I'll be chasing this day for years to come. I'll never be same after that sesh
