Outer Banks Real Estate Blog-Jimmy Buffett Makes A Trip To Hatteras
It's a good thing no one knew before hand about the recent trip on November 11th, Jimmy Buffett made to Hatteras Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina because there would have been Parrotheads, like myself all over the place. It seems the guys at Real Kiteboarding in Hatteras ran into Jimmy a few years ago over in the British Virgin Islands while surfing. They had no idea that he was coming when he pulled up in their parking lot in a vegetable powered conversion van. As the story goes Jimmy was taking some time off traveling up the east coast when he decided to drop by for some fishing, surfing, and good times. How awesome it must have been to spend time with the man that has made millions of people dream of the islands and a cool boat drink.
Here is the teaser:
REAL Reunion Tour News
Jimmy Buffett cruises the Outer Banks
When we released the news of the 1st annual REAL Camp Reunion Tour, we knew people would be stoked to come back to Cape Hatteras, do some riding and share in some good times. Little did we know that REAL Reunion Tour 2008 would include the likes of none other than Jimmy Buffett !
There’s not too many days that you get to take a session with someone as cool, laid back and talented as Jimmy Buffett. Two years ago we were lucky enough to bump into Jimmy in the British Virgin Islands and spent a day surfing head high point break waves with light offshore winds. Tons of long waves, big smiles and lifelong memories were had that day.
On Tuesday, November 11th, Jimmy Buffett caught up with us again at the new REAL Flagship Store in Cape Hatteras, NC. Jimmy was on a road trip from New York to Charleston, SC in his vegetable oil powered diesel 4x4 van nicknamed “The Green Tomato”. This rig is completely tricked out including a bed, cooking appliances, refrigerator, air compressor, shower, HD batteries, 360 degree outside lights, racks for all of his boards, paddles, boats, etc and all of his fishing gear. Jimmy’s three key weapons included his Surftech Takayama 11’ Standup Paddleboard, his Stewart 9’ longboard and his new prototype Native Fishing Standup Paddleboard. When we bumped into Jimmy 2 years ago, it was the first time he had ever seen standup paddleboarding, as this was when we were shooting the REAL Standup Instructional DVD. Now he is fully bitten by the bug and paddles every day !
