POC does OBX


POC has a great trip each spring to Outer Banks for a little sun, surf, and sail. The guest list is a wide group of those from the ski and action sports community, from POC athletes to regional and national reps of various companies to the director and instructors from the Aspen ski school. Some of the world's best kitesurfers were on hand as well, probably to make sure that none of the winter athletes in the group actually thought they were good at getting out on the surf. A couple of base jumpers were on hand well, rounding out the motley crew. I was lucky enough to get down there for a couple of days, and although the knee prevented me getting onto any kiteboards, I was able to do a bunch of swimming and some saltwater rehab. This is the last of my end-of-season trips, but maybe the best. Thanks to Willie Ford and Jarka Duba for making this happen, I now have another reason to rehab so I can get out on a kite!
