Kirra Comes to Outer Banks, 022511

Friday afternoon was pretty mental down south. Thought it had potential, but didn’t expect it to be as good as it was. After the hard south blow Thurs night and Friday AM, the wind clocked around to the southwest at about 25mph turning it into a dredging right point. Some of the heaviest surf I’ve ever witnessed. Head high waves would turn into 2 ft barrels with 4 ft thick lips. Waves were doing things I’ve never seen before. Looked like a heavier version of Kirra. Tons of current and barely surfable, but super fun for mindsurfing and somewhat photogenic. There were only a handful of guys out so don’t have many photos of waves with surfers on them. Saving best ones for mags and websites, but here’s a couple to give you a feel for the day.
