There’s very little up for debate. Tuesday, June 3, 2014 was as good as it gets on the East Coast.

Now that you’ve been introduced to this photogenic stretch of Dare County, N.C. beach, I’ll let these photos do most of the talking. The consistent swell defeated all of the variables to provide moments of perfection from sunup to sundown. To describe this session as “special” would be an drastic understatement. Just a few friends trading barrels and stoke for hours and hours into the afternoon.

That’s what it’s all about.

The winds were about as light as could be. The proof is in this photo: Check out the ripples on the wave face from this spitting keg. Photo: Streit.
