Photos: Ida Better Take This One
Islands were flooded, people were lost at sea, and buoys went off the charts. Here's a glimpse of this weekend's low+Hurricane Ida remnants that graced the East Coast with all the above and a little bit of heaven, a la the Dirty Jersey.
Remnants Of Hurricane Ida Slam Northeast
Last week the remnants of Hurricane Ida traveled up the East Coast on land only to reach the northeast, swing offshore, and pummel the northeast with major coastal flooding. Here's a recap of the destruction, and stay tuned later today for a photo gallery of the clean surf from over the weekend.
ESA Championships: Thursday’s Photos
Ya’ll better be paying attention, because the bread-and-butter divisions at the 2009 ESA Easterns are plugging along. Quarterfinalists for the coveted Junior Mens division have been determined, and will be getting back in the water in the morning. The boys division is also heating up quickly, as there are already some early top East Coast match-ups.
Check out SurfESA.org for the full schedule, and stay tuned to transworldsurf.com for all the action from Hatteras.
ESA Championships: Tuesday’s Photo And Adult Champs
Day three of the 42nd annual ESA Championships—affectionately called “The Easterns” ‘round these parts—was held today (despite a midday rainstorm of epic proportions) at Lighthouse Jetty on the Outer Banks in waist to chest high and rippable surf. The adult divisions wrapped up today and as usual, Floridian surfers were the standouts. While New Hampshire legend Peter Pan claims that it’s because they’re used to surfing crappy waves, I’m of the belief that it’s because they just plain rip! Check the results of all the adult divisions below…
Anyway, the kids are all geared up to start their ESA title hunts tomorrow and with conditions predicted to be on the fun side, we’re looking forward to a heavy dose of shredding from “The Best Of The East”. Go get ‘em kids, the world is watching! To check the schedule and more info, go to SurfESA.org.—Justin Cote

ESA Championships Get Underway On The Outer Banks
The Eastern Surfing Association welcomes the best surfers from the East Coast back to Cape Hatteras for the 42nd annual gathering of “The Best Of The East” at Lighthouse Jetty on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We arrived Sunday just in time for the ESA Kickoff Party and were greeted with some down home barbecue…delicious! The adult divisions are currently being run in chest high and windy surf and the kids start up Wednesday in what’s supposed to be pretty good surf. Check out the photo gallery and tune in daily for updates!
