Ben Powell gets some nuggets in North Carolina
As Hurricane Bill forged up the eastern coast of the U.S., surfers from the Caribbean to Nova Scotia experienced above average surf for a couple days. Although he did not live up to all the hype, with news-hounds claiming it would be "the biggest swell in a DECADE", Bill threw some fun, consistent surf to us East-coasters that was highly enjoyable. After passing north of Florida, Bill was forecasted to swing back out into the Atlantic and not make landfall. Many people where seduced into traveling up north, passed the Mason Dixon line, to hunt for waves. I think some were kind of disappointed at what they found but still had a fun time.
I got some photos from Wrightsville during the short window we had for waves. Enjoy!-BP
