World Class Wavesailing Conditions - Pea Island Near Oregon Inlet!
UPDATE: Yana's pics are up, check them out!

Caleb joined me, along with Billy M on the kite rig and we had an excellent time riding fun surf! Water conditions was cold (around 48 degrees), however with 75 degree air and bright sunshine, I was out with no gloves or booties, though the cap worked well to keep the head warm if I took a spin in the rinse cycle.
The pure wavesailing was top notch OBX side-off. Perfect three to four wave sets rolled in with a distinguishable takeoff located just south of the parking lot. Ride down the line with a few turns and kick out into the "channel" for an easy run back to the outside. An excellent wave conveyor belt, and primo surf conditions!
Recommendation: If Avon looks like it did Friday with a heavy south swell and "weird inside" conditions, drive north to Pea Island, near Oregon Inlet. I was amazed at the difference, and the excellent wavesailing conditions found up there! The bars are firing there this year!
Photos were shot, and I await posting from Yana as she was shooting the session. Will let you know when she posts them up!
PS: Its blowing hard SW again today?! Will that spot just south of Oregon Inlet be firing again today?!
