Epic Slaughter Beach!!

Slaughter Beach fired today like I've never experienced. Hands down best ever. Lit 4.2- 4.7 conditions with the 76 ltr Wave Thruster ltd. The character of the outter bar was so nice, with plenty of spacing in between very well formed ramps. Twas very Hatteras-Reef like, except that the sand bar at Slaughter its only a half mile out, as opposed to about 4 miles down in Avon. Awwwwwww gonna be a tough time sleeping tonight. Still amped! :)

Great stuff: no current, planing off the beach, flat inside for transitions, nice steep breakers for jumps, and fun swell on the outside. No rideable surf other than a little backside action but other than that, awesome!

I know what you mean by too many jumps...I've got a sore knee myself from a session up north. Great day!

Is that a helitack I'm seeing with the backwinded sail shots, or the finishing of an early tack? In any event it's impressive on a seventyish liter board!
