I agree! We had a blast out there last weekend
Chris even got to try out a buggie with a little 5m. Since I'm not riding yet, I'd like to hear your perspective on the difference between the flat water here and the surf with the strong current there. It seems like it would be a lot more difficult and not for beginners. What do you think?

def. not a very good spot for beginners with the surf, and bridge downwind.
I personally loved it, the waves were AWESOME! I wouldn't like learning in thoes conditions though.

Josh you should have come up to hatteras for a trip. This summer has been amazing. We have averaged 4 days of wind a week. I am powered on a 13 most of the time. Its been windy here for 5 days straight and we get a break 2morrow then the sw returns for a few more days. Now I am working on powered fronts and back 2 blind. Also ive been working on hitting sliders, which is soo much fun. And when its not windy the surf is incredible mostly chest With a couple of over head days.

Nice to have you guys here
Dr. Bruce loved it and posted on our forum, too. http://www.extremekiteskiteboarding....opic.php?t=267 Thanks Bruce! Thanks for letting me ride the 15m Ion too while you "hogged the link", since apparently P. Fox got the last one in the country and I won't ever have one  Josh and Chris, you guys rode in two totally different spots. Chris rode Ocean Trace. Current there and nearshore breakers can be a challenge. Josh rode Matanzas on a strong out going tide. Flat water or waves. Holding ground is a piece of cake when tide is ripping out, that's why we go there. When Chris was here, the tides were off. Either way, wind is wind 8) Both spots are not beginner friendly, IMO. East beach is about 30 times more begginer friendly and the Gulf is about ten times more friendly than the Atlantic for newer riders (if it's possible to do that kinda math). Hugenot Park in Jax is much more beginner friendly and not to far of a ride. You guys all looked good out there :wink: Thanks for coming up.
