Epic for windsurfing on Wednesday. Photo from the 4WD only Fort Fisher Recreation Area

CB1 said...: Wednesday was definitely a lot of fun! We've been long over due for some wind! Waves better than usual for Ft. Fisher. I think a little sand bar has developed by "the log".

The wind was good, but we went through 30 minutes periods of lighter winds (5.5 ish), then back to blasting winds. I stayed on my 4.5/85L combo for the day and sat out the lighter stuff (to lazy to rig a larger sail).

Good times! Every one was catching some nice waves, Scott was huckin' the forwards, Alan on the wave 360s. And I believe about everyone was punished at least once and took the "current train" down the beach! Crap, I think I almost washed back down to the main turnout at one point. The beach was so steep down there, little to no chance to waterstart on the inside! Long walk back!
