Yesterday, we had a feeling of summer weather on the OBX with warm southern winds in the upper teens to about 20, warm ocean water in the mid-60s pushing 70 degrees (must have been from the sound water vacating O Inlet), and bright sunny skies with warm 80 degree air temps. (see yesterday's Bambuser report!)
I had the Sealion loaded along with my Tempo 92.The surf looks quite fun averaging solid waist to chest high on the sets with a solid ENE swell in the water.Clean side offshore wind made for butter smooth wave faces and general water conditions.I started on the Sealion and caught wave after wave at a safe spot just north of Ramp 3 between Oregon Inlet and Coquina Beach.Keith McCulloch joined me late in the afternoon as Ramp 30 was feathering as high tide approached and was not actually breaking.He had a go at the Sealion and caught some fun waves too while the wind hovered around 10 mph!
All in all, the Sealion is an excellent light air wavesailing insurance sesh provider, and with summer approaching it will be the table to see those light air surf days when you "wished you could be out there!"The 2011 Sealion arrived here a few weeks ago and I give it quick to rally as good as demo/rent.Of course, if you are concerned in buying the Sealion, contact me.I am a US East Coast Rep for the Sealion along with the NahSkwell SUPs!
Here are a few pics snapped with my phone of Keith catching a few waves along with some images of the 2011 Sealion.Keep an eye out for Keith riding the Sealion down on Hatteras Island when conditions are clear and the breakers is FUN!
