Wrightsville Beach ProAm was awesome!
Great waves early with lots of onshore wind for the finals
Guys were kiting all afternoon so it was tough in the finals.

I ran into lots of happy Sunova owners yesterday
2 Acids on the beach
2 Speeed owners there to watch
2 Flows on the Beach

I entered the most competitive Ameture devision.... the 50+ Masters
Lots of contestants. Great folks from all over
I chose to ride a bigger board because of the conditions.
In the semi finals I took 1st
I was up against a 7'1 square
7'4 custom traditional shape
And local fovorite, a major brand rep.
But the 9'2 Speeed beat them in the semis

I ended up 4tg in the finals so it was a good day for old dogs

I am going to Myrtle beach tomorrow.
I will do a demo somewhere in North Myrtle mid week. Stay posted

I delivered a 9'6 Flow to rgbar this morning at dawn. We got a 2 hour session in 3' glass. He ripped his new Flow!!!
I rode the 8'10 Flow and am super super stoked with it!
Too bad it was so wonky in the finals. I would have loved to compere on the smaller Flow!

I am on my phone so I dont know how to resize pictures. I got renexted 1st try so I'll serial post them 1 at a time

Thanks Zoneoids!

Struggling with my laptop and Iphone so posting is hit or miss.

Appst, I will probably be back in Wrightsville by Thursday.... just call me. I have your number so I'll text you to make sure you have mine.

Funny.... all the RI, Carolina connections here this week. :)

If anyone is in the Myrtle area..... let me know. I m here till at least Wednesday, then back to The Carolina Cup.

I have and interesting story about the Pros at the contest, but I want to make a separate post in General.

I am adding some pics of the Sunova's that I saw at the contest.
All the riders that owned them are very stoked!

Beautiful day from start to finish for the Wrightsville Beach the ProAM

Funnier in person.  ;D
I am at Pine street in Garden City this morning
Come on down.
2 people in now riding 1-2' clean
30 huge leatherback turtles around us
Got great gopro footage paddling right next to them!

Looks great, Creek!  Santa Cruz has been like Seattle in February rather than spring.

I got a first "voluntary execution" 150 degree off the lip on Speeed a couple of days ago (if you don't count the completely accidental 180 one a couple of years ago, when I didn't know what I did, I was falling off and it just happened).

Onward and upward to a 180!

Turn, turn, turn! I am not finding 8.10 Speeed a difficult turner at all.

Awesome day yesterday!
Glassy 1' waves at dawn
The leatherback turtlefest was followed by a swamp paddle trip with alligators 

Zero waves today so not going to plan any demo, heading to Charlestown for the day.

Pictures from yesterdays surf and wildlife encounters
I figure the sea turtles were there munching on the huge jellies that were everywhere.

You can see the size of the turtles heads after the jelly pic

The pic of me and the turtle is a picture of the GoPro back screen.... terrible pic but all I gotz till I get to a computer that will download my videos (home)

and yes Tino..... the 19th pic is an alligator we paddled by in the swamp  ;D

Missed you here in the Carolinas Creek. Heading back to VB before the weekend. Will try to catch you in VB but my 9-5 thing may get in the way.
Those jellies were thick here in Kure this week too but trunnkin' it was a warm welcome.
