Surfing by Surf City before Tropical Storm Emily






Drove down to surf city today. Tropical Storm Emily is slowly working it's way up the coast. I've surfed twice on Topsail Island before, both North and South ends, but never at Surf City, which is in the center part of the island. I surfed off the pier, and caught a couple good waves, I felt like the waves were better than off Wrightsville beach. I ran into a guy with another Kane Garden board, he gave me a tip that I should keep my legs together while paddling, I applied his tip and I could feel a difference. I had cargo pocketed board shorts and ran into some problems with the pockets scooping up water. Still, all in all, a better than average day of surfing off the east coast.
