Fun Carving it up in Rodanthe With Sean
Hit the 2-3 foot waves in Rodanthe yesterday #surfing with my good friend Sean. Here’s one of the fun ones. Bonus content — ask me about the great wave I caught after the GoPro cut out that Sean denies ever happened ;).
After about a 2 hour session and much fun, we dropped by REALwatersports for some grub, a new Futures fin set for Sean’s Hypto, and some great chats with Jeff and the pro surf gang there. Love is! #OBX #surfgurupro
