Fearing a skunk...no wind on the horizon so I headed over to the ocean for a SUP session in the waves. The waves were highly disorganized and it was a battle to get out passed the break. Still, a good workout and I got my sea legs back. A small whale had beached on shore - I was a little concerned that it might attract les sharks!
Monday...still no wind. Headed over to the ocean for a session and it was even more rough than Sunday. Another paddler was out, so I wasn't alone- he and I probably only got out past the break a couple of times. Also, busted the leash...
Tuesday...light wind, Phil & Jim went for a quick paddle on the sound, then we messed around with Phil's kite. Tried to get an ocean SUP session in but the ocean was ridiculous. Wind picked up a little later in the day but died by the time we rigged.

OBX spring 2013 - sat
Arrived in time for the last day of windfest down at frisco woods campgrounds. Me, Phil, Jim on this trip with a house on the sound in Avon (Park Place). The wind wasn't that great but I just picked up my new 99 liter Goya freestyle board from Margaret at the Avon Sailhouse and wanted to test it out a little. With a 6.8 and the tiny fin that came with it, I had trouble getting upwind, but I got to feel out the straps, volume distribution and overall behavior. Seems to plane quick! No wind forecast for the next few days.
