Hatteras 2011

Just 50 days until Hatteras 2011! :wee:
Last 2 weeks in April.

One day man. We plan it right we can get coast to coast representation.

Any events happening there the last 2 weeks of April? I've heard of others that make it a sort of pilgrimage and wonder if it's because of an event.

Hey you might see the group from Ontario down there at the same time - I think there will be 1-2 twinskin users in the group - and AJ is down there.

Too close on the heels of NABX for me .... but there is a second group going in May...


No events that I know of but it's good spring winds and coming from our winter it's the nice transition before our water and temperatures warm up. Good winds, warmer and still cheaper rates.

Hatteras Spring '11

My group is heading there in May, just after the Ocean Rodeo thing at Kitty hawk Kites, bummer!

Still, it is Hatteras in the Spring, so life is good!

Plus, I'll have all my new 2011 Rises with me, yessssss!

The website for the kite expo says kite demos to intermediate+ riders...how is that determined?

action jackson - 25-2-2011 at 07:19 PM

That is determined by the Yard Marshall or Vendor. Most of the time it just a few questions?......aj

I'll be in Hatteras first week of May.

:wee: had an epic trip this year. Awesome crew (something like 40 of us from Manitoba and Saskatchewan). Great wind, great temperatures, lots of sun, lots of downwinders on both the soundside and ocean. 14 for 14 days. Not another Twinskin in sight. Seen a few Flysurfers (maybe just the same guy though).

PHREERIDER - 2-5-2011 at 05:21 PM

wow thats a big group. way to represent !

bigkahuna - 3-5-2011 at 02:53 AM

Summer is officially here. Surf was perfect conditions Fri / Sat and I was toasty in my 3/2. I'll probably just wear an insulated rash guard when I do a downwinder later today (wind is forecast to be 15-20+ air temps in the 70's). Loving the banks! :)

Tibi - 3-5-2011 at 06:28 AM

I'm finally here. Yesterday was my second day on the water. I'm at the point of practicing board starts. The longest I was able to ride yesterday was about 30-40 ft. We didn't hope for any wind yesterday, but it picked up around 4pm and we spent the rest of the day in the water, until sunset. Wind predictions are good for today.

Jaymz - 3-5-2011 at 06:58 PM

Go Tib! Looks like your progressing well. Enjoy OBX and come ride with us closer to home on the Jersey Shore soon.

bigkahuna - 3-5-2011 at 07:05 PM

How much wind did you get up there? It only blew 10-15 here and is forecast to rain tomorrow. :(

action jackson - 3-5-2011 at 07:54 PM

It blew 20-30sw today in Waves! Maybe 150 kites in the air within the tri-villages. It will be blowin sw in the morning early then switch nw. Probally ridin here in the am then head down to ocracoke for sunset session!..........aj

bigkahuna - 4-5-2011 at 03:28 AM

Get out of here, really? Jeesh, I'm just 100 mi south of you guys and it never got over 15 mph all day. That's enough to make me want to jump on the ferry and head north! ;) What's the ocean water temps like up there? It's warm enough for just baggies down here.

ragden - 4-5-2011 at 04:43 AM

Heading down Thursday night. I'm hoping the forecast I'm looking at is a little on the light side (hoping for more wind). In either case, it'll just be nice to get out of DC...

action jackson - 4-5-2011 at 07:36 PM

Wahoo! Sweets rides out at Howards Reef off Orcacoke today! Finished the day by being the first to kite Silver Lake!.............aj

Taper123 - 4-5-2011 at 07:46 PM

I'm jealous... I have to drive 90 to 130 miles to get to a good spot. AJ is living a dream lifestyle.

bigkahuna - 5-5-2011 at 12:54 AM

Went to the beach to kite just as the front passed and switched the wind from side on to side off. :P Went home for lunch, came back and surfed some waist to chest high barrels. When you live on the banks, it's good to have more than one sport in your quiver. :)
