Kittyhawk, North Carolina is small town in the barrier islands of North Carolina known as the outer banks. It’s claim to fame is that it is the town where the Wright Brother’s launched the world’s first successful motor operated flight. Hence North Carolina’s license plate “first in flight”. Today, the town has a population of less than 4000. We spent a beautiful week there with lots of sunshine and temperatures from the low to high 80s. The surf wasn’t great, but that’s just the way of the ocean. Over the past few years, it is something that I find myself gravitating towards more. It reminds me learning how to ride a bike for the first time, you fall time and time again, but the pursuit of riding a wave is too fun to stop. I plan on going back in the fall time, the prime surfing (hurricane season) time in the outer banks. I was able to get some photos with my trusty a6000. I occasionally look up the latest Sony alpha cameras from the full frame to the crop sensored and nothing has really made me feel like it was time to upgrade, UNTIL, the release of the Sony a6700, I’m really considering this one. Hope everyone stays cool, safe and healthy.

A fascinating documentary about legendary surfer, Gerry Lopez.
