The successful completion of the Starboard Hatteras Wave Jam signals the end of a two month period on the road and what an experience it has been! With events in Peru, Mexico and North Carolina, the global reach of the AWT is growing event by event. As we begin to look forward to the 2014 finale at the Aloha Classic, the Pro bracket is wide open with three riders: Levi, Kevin Pritchard and Morgan all able to claim the top spot. The home of windsurfing will provide the perfect stadium for the eventual crowing of our champion this year.

Every event has it’s challenges and the Hatteras Wave Jam was no different but it is a testament to the staff, volunteers and riders who remained mobile and motivated to ensure that all heats were completed across all divisions. The Outer Banks are a special place, for a period it was my home spot while working in North Carolina and I love coming back, as with each stop on our tour there is more to the event than the on water action and Hatteras provided us with an amazing holiday as well as an amazing competition, won by none other than Kevin Pritchard!
