Subtropical Storm Andrea churns away throwing of some good wind and swells to OBX
Ty Luckett of
http://kitehatteras.net/ just sent some photos along of the high wind and wave entertainment served up by Subtropical Storm Andrea off OBX last Sunday, May 6, 2007.
Winds were reported ranging from 40 to 53 mph and seas to 15 ft. as this early subtropical system formed in place off of Hatteras.
Ty was out on a 7 m Omega and boosted a really big one.
That must have been one interesting session. Hopefully Ty can post some of his impressions out in this nuking session with a light and lively 7 m Omega.
Julian walks against the flow. I understand he received some aid in this extreme session, no details though. If you know what happened please pass them along. Glad he is ok.
No flat water in this session, waves all the way!
I believe the photos were taken by Lane Du Pont,

Looks like a fun, intense session, rider input would be welcome.
