Friday turned out to be one of the best kitesurfing sessions I have yet to have in Cape Hatteras. Hanna brought us some massive waves and good steady wind. The locals all headed to The Cove. The waves were breaking for 500 yard+. It was an incredible session. I was able to unhook and make turn after turn going down the line for pretty much as long as I wanted. I usually had to pull out of the wave early so I didn’t have to tack as far up wind. I was perfectly powered on my 8m havoc and the 6’5 jimmy lewis chamber. The Chamber is a new addition I have been riding the 6’3 and there is quite a lot of difference between the two sizes. The 6’3 is more of a hack session board where you can’t always feel the drive of the board on the waves, while on the 6’5 you feel like the board has power as well. Most of the crew showed up at 7am. I didn’t get there until around 1, and rode until 5pm. This was defiantly a session to remember.
UPDATE: Here is a VERY quick video i threw together today, from last weeks sessions for REAL.
