Friday - Another Ugly (Not) Sunset

Last Friday post - there is something ultra relaxing - almost sublime - about watching the sun go down over a water horizon. In certain places, you can be lucky enough to watch both the sunrise and sunset over water (like Hawaii) - the lower Outer Banks is definitely one of the sublimest spots I've come to know...

Friday - Microwaves

Friday afternoon SUP surfing - the waves were small, but to a landlocked surfer, waves are waves and they must be ridden or you will suffer the curse of dry skin and creaky joints (DRY ROT). I had fun and so did Noe!

Rodanthe Pier Mid Morning Surf

49 degree water. Overhead surf. Mostly out of shape me. Two and a half sweet rides. La caught the inside ride of my last one on her Galaxy phone. I was in a 4/3 wetsuit. I thought for sure the water would have warmed up a little more by this point. Oh well - you have to get it while you're there. The Starboard Element served me well, although I noticed the increase in feeling chop with the hardboard (since I had been using the ULI some much recently). We're headed off to the Aquarium for the afternoon. Stayed tuned for more OBX barnstorming.
