Early this morning SUP'er fun

Wind was offshore, cleaning up the waves. Early session at 6 am this morning.
I must of caught 40 plus waves..

Tower Beach Sea Pines Session

With the NE winds blowing 15-20 knots and the Low off our coast the surf was choppy. We ( Jesse and I) decided to hit the Southern tip if the island near Tower Beach where the winds were offshore and currents strong. Smaller waist high waves were breaking. Challenging session but fun. Steep take offs and thumping shore break but rewarding. I took a few on the head.

But STOKED..

Jesse had the GoPro those shots below ...
