Hurricane Katia ran parallel to the eastcoast, sending all of the eastcoast waves while sparing us any hurricane conditions. Thursday was the day here, so after getting in a surf wednesday night I prepared to park it down at Sunskipper, Carolina Beach, NC for the day on thursday. Got down there with clean conditions in the morning, with the local guys getting barrel after barrel. When the winds kicked in, the afternoon session saw more performance surfing. Above is a video sequence from the dawn patrol session. Shane Burn got the best barrels I saw out there, as you’ll see in the video sequence. Below is the gallery I put together from thursday morning and afternoon. Click on any of the thumbnails to navigate through the images.
