I'll hit it in June. How is the water temp and wind in the Carolinas in June?
June can be miserably hot in the midwestern states. A living hell! Texas is the only state where I've been told by a very stern looking State Trooper: "Step outa' the car". Like in a bad 70s movie. Your blood runs cold. DONT BUY LEGAL WEED in Cali and try stashing it away for your trip, it's still probably a felony in the South. They have drug dogs and they will find it. They see outa' State plates and they hit them flashin' red lights. Why in the $hit would anyone voluntarily drive across the southern States in June? I must admit the Outer Banks has quite a reputation for clean flat water.
I'd hit Sherman Island (SF Bay Area) and save yourself a hell trip. Do your research in the Ikitesurf history for South Padre Island Texas, not been there yet but it favors the spring and fall: too hot and no wind during summer. Dunno about the Carolinas, but for sure the California and Oregon coast will be howling in June. Colder than a witches tit though. 4-5 mil wetsuit and booties. I'm a California boy and I don't like Texas, but South Padre and Chorpus Christi get really good apparently. Still wouldn't go there.
