New Scenes from the "BIG DAY!" during the HIWC Wave Contest at the Hatteras Lighthouse
Contributing Photographer:  Alan White
Keith McCulloch dropping in shy of the white..  Hatteras meaty bombers!  A little backside action!
Mast high and looking epic!  Sticking it in the bar is a true test of mast strength...  More action between the curls... this is what Hatteras is all about!
Over mast high, and preparing to turn down the line!  Dimitri Maramendies heading down and looking for the a place to kick out.
