  • Lost In Hatteras: Stuart Goes XL
    Stuart Proctor at The Lighthouse on May 25, 2010: There was massive action all over the island. I hit some-logo high outer bar crumblers down at Isabel's, a big crew went to Ocracoke, and Stu, as you can see, challenged the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse...

    Yikes! It's been a pretty long time since I posted, so here's a quick recap: 1. It was super windy. 2. It was super warm. 3. The shop was super busy. There ya have it! Here are a bunch of random pictures from the last few weeks: There were many, many GREAT windsurfing sessions this spring...

  • Lost In Hatteras: Rebuilt Confidence
    After getting fully thrashed, the best thing to do is to jump right back on that horse. Luckily, Ramp 23 provided a nice, easy wave — a much less intimidating setup than the day before at Ramp 34. Bill, Stu, Olaf and I grabbed a sunset session in the chest-to-head high waves...

  • Lost In Hatteras: Bermuda High Ocean Video
    We are stoked down here, guys! Beautiful weather, nice winds, sunshine everyday! I've been super-busy at the shop but stoked to still be able to sneak out and catch dawn and sunset quickie sessions. All it takes is 20 minutes in the water and life is sweet! I'm sorry that I haven't been reporting much, but the sessions have been so short that I haven't had time to grab any pics or video or anything...

  • Lost In Hatteras: Bermuda High Freestyle Video
    We're all still buzzing from last week's Bermuda High! June conditions during the first week of April?! Unheard of. Anyway, we shot some video. Here's the first installment: Overpowered freestyle sessions on 3...

  • Lost In Hatteras: I'm Not Alex Mussolini
    Lots of good stuff, folks! First off, the May edition of WINDSURFING magazine just rolled in, and Hatteras received some great exposure! Stuart wrote a pretty interesting article, accompanied by some of the best photographs I've ever seen.

  • Lost In Hatteras: Come Back Anytime, St. Mary's
    Wow, it is going crazy out here on Hatteras Island. The first thing of note is the water temp in the sound — it warmed up really quickly at the end of last week. Don't expect board shorts weather or anything, but there's a big difference between today's 53-degree water and last week's 39-degree water...

  • Lost In Hatteras: The Times They Are a-Changin'
    The winter westerlies in Cape Hatteras have been so strong, steady and non-stop that my house seems to have taken a cant to the east, like the leaning tower of Pisa. The west-facing bedroom windows have been ceaselessly rattling and interrupting my sleep, while the rest of the house sat in a silent east-facing protected vacuum...

  • Lost In Hatteras: Proud to be of Irish Descent
    I've never really found a good reason to be upset about my descent (except the whole fair skin thing), but on many occasions, I'm exceptionally pleased to be composed of Irish/Scottish bloodlines. For example, I considered today to be a beautiful day to go windsurfing...

  • Lost In Hatteras: North Carolina Winter Surf
    Question: When it's glassy and A-framing and you're the only one out, which way do you go? Above, Speedy chooses to go right. Me? I'd say that either way is right! We've had some great surf the last few days...

  • Lost In Hatteras: Making + Testing a Freestyle Weed Fin
    We finally had a day with no wind and no waves! Amazing. The production freestyle fins available today are unbelievably nice, but unfortunately we need weed fins here in Cape Hatteras and no one makes a weed freestyle fin...

  • Lost In Hatteras: A Fickle Mistress
    I swear, the Atlantic Ocean is bipolar! It went from overhead and warm water down to knee-high and frigid in about six hours. Luckily, stand up paddleboards keep you (mostly) out of that super-cold water and make those knee-high waves a lot of fun to surf...

  • Lost In Hatteras: Too Windy, Take 2
    Wow, yet another insane storm just pounded this poor little sandbar. Hatteras Island had yet another flood on Wednesday, pushing about two feet of water into my driveway and covering almost all of Hwy...

  • Lost In Hatteras: Too Windy?
    Is there ever such a thing as it being too windy? Disregarding hurricanes, of course. Well, it kind of depends on what you want to do and your own ability/energy level for a given day. I can say with certainty that it was too windy for me to go freestylin' at the Buxton Slick on Saturday...
