So on the last day of our recent Hatteras trip, we had to leave an excellent forecast. After reading
Andy's blog, its seemed as if it was pretty epic.
So any way, as we crossed over Oregon Inlet, it was obvious to us that the wind was crankin, and the waves where certainly pumping. So we decided to give Coquina a shot.

The truck was packed, washed, and ready for the trip back to Delaware, yet there we were driving onto the beach, and dumping all the efficiently packed gear onto the beach, just so I could get to my 5.6, which was all the way at the bottom.
A lightening rig effort, attach the board, and I launched into the sideoff conditions. No sooner than I had to negotiate the first few walls of white water, and my boom broke. This was already my backup boom as I’d broken my favorite on Saturday during the warm ups to the Beast Of The East Comps. Twasn't to be for me this day
Oh well, gotta pay some dues sometime.
