Tropical Storm Gabrielle Session

[Dwight (DW)]

Yesterday morning everyone along the NC coast was excited by Tropical Storm Gabrielle sitting just off shore. All my SUP buddies hit our favorite spot at sunrise and had the session I've been dreaming about all summer, as I developed my skills in anticipation of the northeasters coming this Fall. It all paid off yesterday morning. 

Later that afternoon I meet up with a prone surfing buddie who was at THE spot to be for prone surfers. He reports sucky conditions with hundreds off surfers packed into a small area all fighting for the same shore break.

Ahh the beauty of SUP, and being able to paddle to secret spots. We were catching waves way off shore and getting rides we've only dreamed about until then.
