On this Juneteenth, we lift our red colored drinks to celebrate the downfall of slavery in the US and the liberation of a people from tyranny. I can think of nothing more patriotic…
On the #OBX today, we have waves in the range of two feet taking on a semi-glassy form. A general increase in wind speed will pick up the swell over the next two days as a trough is expected to linger over the eastern US.
Meanwhile, near Africa, two tropical cyclones are developing in the region of the Capo Verde Islands. This is very early development for Capo Verde storms and likely has a climate crisis fingerprint.

Leashes are helpful safety innovations that can prevent a surfboard from careening down the beach, harming swimmers or other surfers. However, surfers should not over-rely on the leash or use it as a crutch. Instead, surfers should use the leash as a last-line safety measure. The above video explores ways to safely handle your board while surfing to prevent injury to yourself and others.
