Hatteras Trip By: Alex

Three weeks ago I went on a kiteboarding trip to Hatters North Carolina with my 2 brothers. We left on May 1st at 5am and it was a crazy long 15 hour  drive. The first week was really windy so I spent pretty much every day at the "Canadian Hole", a spot in Avon were all the kite boarders and windsurfers go. After the first week the wind slowly started to die down so we decided to all buy some cheap surfboards and try to learn how to surf. We went to a beach on the oceanside near the Hatteras lighthouse were all of the local surfers go. The waves are always pretty huge there and I never realized how hard surfing is, and how powerful waves can be.
The wind slowly started to pick up after the second week and I was able to do some more kiteboarding, I even had a chance to try out my new 6' surf board. Its a totally different feeling than a regular kite board and it took some getting used to.
Overall the trip was pretty cool and it feels weird to be back home after three weeks.
