I’m excited about how well the REAL Josh Mulcoy Ad turned out the last issue of Kiteboarding Magazine. Trip and the guys helped to put together this one. The idea was to show Josh doing the same turn Kiteboarding and Surfing, and to show people what can be done behind a kite now.

Sunset Kiteboarding Session
There was a lone kiter out back tonight as the sun was setting. The sky looked amazing and made for another terrific sunset.

Glassy Sunset
The sunset tonight was incredible (just like yesterday’s). The wind never picked up. So the Pamlico Sounds stayed glassy, which made the sunset look tremendous.

A Glassy Pamlico Sound Sunset
Today was a very calm day, with no wind or waves. I had plenty of time to catch up on a lot of things around the house. As the sun started to fall in the late fall sky, I packed up my gear and headed out to shoot. It was as glassy as I have seen it in a very long time. The light on the landscape was almost better an hour or so before sunset when it was nearly impossible to see the horizon. The sun’s reflection in the water was like a mirror, making some of the images seem as if there were two suns.

Fall Morning Surf Shoot
I headed out for a morning shoot with Jason, Steve, Matt and a couple of his buddies. I knew my ankle wouldn’t be at full capacity, but it fell far short of my expectations. I wound up swimming with one fin on which effectively made be a buoy in the water and made it nearly impossible to line up a shot with the guys. There were some beautiful waves coming through and they scored some nice little barrels. I again wore my 6/5/4 Billabong SG5 and was way too hot so I think that suits just going back in the closet for a month or so…

Morning Shoot & Battle Of the Banks
I headed out super early in the morning to get ready to shoot the Battle of the Banks, a surfing contest between surfers in North Carolina(Outer Banks) and Virginia Beach. We woke up to a think fog from the cold air and the warm waters. I headed to the event site to find less than pleasing waves. I spent the rest of the morning shooting scenic shots around the Island.
I headed to work for a while until Jason and I headed back to the event where things started to look better. We watched the guys go for barrel after barrel. It was a good show but the waves weren’t as good as in years past, nonetheless it was still a great event and some pretty great surfing went down.

Classic Fall Cape Hatteras Day
It was a pretty laid back Sunday. The waves didn’t clean up quite enough to warrant a surf on the Northside of the island. I had plenty of work to do around the house and want to thank everyone for all the great emails, please keep them coming! Here are a few shots from today’s walk down to the beach and the sunset.

Elkus Photo on Surfline, It’s Fall!
I was at the beach this morning when, master East Coast Photographer, Matt Lusk told me he saw a shot of mine on Surfline’s article, Pre-Thanksgiving Feast. I was stoked to check it out when I returned home this afternoon after getting skunked on the south side of the island today. Thanks Nick Baines and Friend in the foreground. The Photos was taken last week in Frisco during, see the post here.
