Women’s Finalists | Cape Hatteras Wave Classic 2017

Watch the wrap-up video of the Women’s Finalists at the Cape Hatteras Wave Classic 2017. The 2017 Cape Hatteras Wave Classic presented by Patagonia lined up with what some have been calling a “perfect storm”. Hurricane Jose posted up just offshore of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, sending pumping swell and strong wind for conditions that tested competitors limits in powerful surf. 24 men and 6 women entered to compete for $10,000 in prize money, the stakes have never been higher! The stage was set, conditions were firing and the competitors put on an incredible show.

Cape Hatteras Wave Classic presented by Patagonia Final Outcome

They call it the “Cape Hatteras Wave Classic” for a reason…. This event always revolves around the waves, and boy were they “classic” this year! This talented group of kitesurfers converges on Cape Hatteras every year to charge the ocean no matter what the conditions. This year, we had a pretty bizarre hand of weather cards dealt to us, including two days of great wind that unfortunately never made it south into the permitted contest areas. You know what? It didn’t phase this group a bit. Reider Decker’s deep knowledge of Cape Hatteras waves always gets him in the right spot | Photo by Toby Bromwich We had picture perfect surf all week, short periods of contestable kitesurf conditions and a solid day of onshore blitzkrieg in the Tri-Village. We rode longboards, fish, shortboards, softops,…even couches. All with and without a kite. Patri Mclaughlin came all the way from Mauritius for the event | Photo by Toby Bromwich In the end we made it to Competition Round 3 in the Men and completed Round 1 with the Women. Contest rules dictate an even prize purse distribution among these competitors. The 12 Men that made it to Round 3 each took …

Cape Hatteras Wave Classic presented by Patagonia Highlights & Week Recap

The 2016 Cape Hatteras Wave Classic presented by Patagonia brought the worlds best kite surfers together on Cape Hatteras from September 17th-23rd. The Men’s and Women’s competition was separated into two groups, 19 males, and 5 females. Over the course of the week we had a roller coaster of a forecast. The first day was a layday, which brought competitors to the beach, and into skate bowl’s to session until the sun went down. Jason Slezak knows this bowl better than anyone. Day two was our first day of competition, winds ~15mph average out of the Southeast gave competitors lefts, and rights to showcase their skills. The Waves brought enough ramps for airs, and faces for slashing. We ran through the first round, and majority of the second with the winds provided on Monday. Patri Mclaughlin Styling out an indy Grab Day three started with bang! The winds were strong, we set up quickly and got riders in the water with enough time to finish round 2 before we got hit by a rain squal. A switch in wind direction to offshore sent all of the competitors into the water to surf through the rest of the day. The vibe …

Cape Hatteras Wave Classic presented by Patagonia Day 4 Update

YES!! It’s windy. Why didn’t they run the comp? The Cape Hatteras Wave Classic presented by Patagonia uncorked the pent up breeze today with 15-25mph out of the East and onshore conditions. Men and Women competitors enjoyed powered conditions for airs and onshore wave riding. After three days of waiting, the breeze was ON and the stoke was HIGH. So why didn’t the contest run today? Event Director Trip Forman explains… “We didn’t run the contest today based on the following: We only have 4 permitted days in the National Park to complete the event. We’ve already used 2 days and have 2 days left to use by Friday. When it was time to make the status call early this morning, we were looking at pouring rain, no wind present at the permitted locations and the lightest wind forecast of the week. We made the call for “Lay Day” based on this info. The breeze filled in throughout the Tri-Village area (Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo) but never more than marginally into the areas southward where the contest is permitted to run. Do we view this as a negative? No. The competitors all got to ride in powered up conditions and that’s …
