First contest in for Queen of Wake and Pro circuit for 2008

Friday night, April 18th we were hunched over computer screens, shellshocked, much like a bunch of Air traffic controllers who just saw a Bob’s Big Boy statue fly by. It wasn’t looking good to say the least. Force 8 winds and solid 4 meter swell (translation: really frickin windy and that’s about twelve feet of swell for you non metric types) had been slamming the Atlantic coast since dawn.
