Surfing downwind from Charleston to Cape Lookout

Stephan Ilberg

What a ride. It started off really nice with a broad reach but than during the night the wind kicked up to 25 gusting 30, the waves went from 3 feet to 6+ feet and we were going dead downwind. The boat was rolling gunnel to gunnel but it was surprisingly still not too uncomfortable. Not too bad for my first 200+ solo miles on Utopia.
