Announcing the 2010 Hatteras Wave Jam

Mark your calendars, folks! The 2010 Hatteras Wave Jam is being held Wednesday through Saturday, September 15-18, 2010. The main goal is to get aspiring wave sailors out into the ocean, improving your technique and self confidence, so that you can safely take your sailing to the next level. This event is designed specifically for Ocean Sailing Noobies! The only prerequisites are:

  • you need to be able to confidently waterstart
  • you need to be a strong and confident swimmer in rough water

If you can handle that, and you’re interested in experiencing the unbelievable thrill of windsurfing in the waves, then you can handle the Wave Jam!

Windsurfing Equipment for the Hatteras Fall Season

The Hatteras Fall Windsurfing Season is quickly approaching!  I’m in the process of placing orders to re-stock the shop with windsurfing gear, and would love to know if you have any specific requests.  It’s impossible for me to stock everything under the sun, so don’t leave it to chance if you really need to have that Pink 3.7 Gaastra Manic!  Please let me know and I’ll have whatever you want ready and waiting for your Cape Hatteras Windsurfing Trip.  Contact me by email or phone, whichever is more convenient for you. I’m happy to help you weed through the plethora of gear options, too, so give me a call if you need any help choosing the right product for your needs.  Hefty discounts may apply to pre-ordered closeout gear!!
