OBX - Wednesday

Light wind day..we went over to the ocean side and played with Miro's 6m trainer kite.  I started to get the hang of it, trying to simulate waterstarting and getting dragged a little.  In the afternoon all of us except Doug went down to the lighthouse to try to surf.  The surf was pretty big and the locals were dominating the best waves.  I grabbed the red soft top board and paddled out with the crowd but only managed to catch one wave.  For reference, I was having trouble getting the board up to speed when I did try to catch the odd wave -  I think I could have used a smaller board and may have had more success if I was bold enough to work my way up the lineup.
