SUP on Hwy 12

The rain has yet to hold off making it some 48 hours of straight rain. I think Cape Hatteras now has a monsoon season. Today I did not take my usual lunch beak, it was more of a session, but not your typical session in the Sound, Ocean, or the occasional nap session. This session was more of a mission and long time goal of mine to shoot SUPing down Hwy 12 in Cape Hatteras, NC when it flooded. Today was the day!

It was just going to be me and Zack Johnson, but the more people heard about the little adventure the more people wanted to join. By the time we headed out the door for lunch the roster included: Zack Johnson, Jason Slezak, Julien Fillion, Neil Ondrako, Claire Lutz and Dave Rakes. All went well minus the drizzling rain and the 30-40 knot winds. But the roads were flooded and that’s what we needed to get the shots. I’m stoked on how they came out though I have a bunch of ideas for next time. Heading South on 12 was the easy part, getting back upwind, well turned a little goofy.

Bombs and Barrels

On Wednesday I spent my work day shooting as I stated in a previous post. The video below is a compilation of the morning and afternoon sessions. The Morning was again shot at the Boiler and the afternoon session at “Battle of the Banks” Mirlo Beach.

Sunset SUP Session

It was looking like there was going to be another classic Cape Hatteras sunset. It didn’t quite deliver to that level but it was good. A bunch of the crew went out for a flat-water Standup Paddle behind REAL during the sunset. I wanted to grab a couple shots. None of the shots really turned out the way I had envisioned them too. I still walked a way with a couple fun shots.

Sunset SUP

It was another picture perfect sunset in Hatteras tonight. Anne-Marie and I headed down to the sound to take a couple Standup Paddleboarding photos around 8:00. It was just before the sunset as we pulled in. We unloaded the board and got her going as i set up the gear. Then we shot for about 15-20 minutes as the sun was setting.

Here are a couple shots from an evening surf session at Mirlo Beach. Zack Johnson was out on the SUP destroying the less than impressive waves. Matt Lane in there with a bottom turn.

After the evening session we hit the sunset session for a little flat water action. below is again Zack Johnson and Scot Laney

Avon Sunset

Nick and I went over to chris’ place for dinner and to hangout yesterday. While we were there we scored yet another terrific sunset. I also grabbed a couple shots of chris paddleboarding before the sunset really got going.
