This video has created an obsession for me to dedicate every minute of my life to learn how to surf..................I started last year but this video has reemphasize that all I want to do is surf. The only regret that I have is that I wish I would it started earlier. I am turning 40 next year. Any tips for a beginner? I currently live in Topsail, NC. BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!!! East Coast Surfer are the BEST!
Nice little surf film. Bodyboarded the Outer Banks when I was a Marine at LeJeune in 88-89. Mostly Cape Hatteras. One swell there were 4 storms in the Atlantic. And the waves I was dropping into would suck out 4 times before it broke on shore. Just drop, drop, drop, drop cover, and spitted skimming on the beach. Had to keep your eyes closed or they'd be filled with sand. Total shore mutants!
Wow! Going to the OBX is like a semi annual pilgrimage for me and I'm sad to leave every time. I love my NC mountains, but something about the OBX community just gets me. I just left last week and already can't wait to get back. You guys did a killer job telling this story.
Been traveling all over the world (Indo, Tahiti, Fiji, Oz, New Zealand, Morocco, Canaries, Galapagos, etc...) over the last 40 years and surfed some amazing waves but there is nothing that beats the Outer Banks!
Drove down by myself in 2005 with just a book and some maps. '89 Ford Bronco II. Had a bodyboard and some camping equipment. First wave I found annihilated me and I lost a swimfin - never to be seen again. I remember being raked across the bottom covered in shells and rocks. Rode one of the longest waves of my like in Ocracoke and almost drowned in the same day. Found some campgrounds to crash at and pitch my tent. No GPS, no cellphone, no digital camera. Just followed a book. You just can't get that experience anymore.
I love the outer banks. Spent a lot of time there through the 90's. I wanted to move there but I wasn't a commercial fisherman and I didn't want to open a tourist shop. So I chose CA and have lived and experienced more then most and have had incredible times in and out of the water.. Altough CA is great it has a lot of down falls. Obx has that sense of community and so mellow. I need that in my life more then ever now. A very special place indeed.
Started on styrofoam, then a boogie board, then Natural Art boards. North or south, there's a wave. So glad to have experienced this gem in the Atlantic in my lifetime.
The OBX looks amazing, i grew up and still live in panama city Beach FL and it has become a tourist hell. No sense of local community left here, that died years ago, it all revolves around tourism now and you will never find an empty beach. We have three main breaks, all of them small and you only get good surf a handful of days out of the year. I sincerely hope it stays this way for you guys and doesn't get ruined by commercialism and over population. Guard what you have and dont take it for granted.
Live in NJ but all our family vacations were in Frisco and learned to surf there with my older brothers. Now have 18 year old twins that I taught to surf. They just took their first big surf trip there without us. Doesn't get any better than that
I learned to surf when I lived in KDH for six years in the 80s- early 90s. Mostly drove down to Rodanthe and Buxton for less tourists and better waves with warmer water. WRV and Hatteras Glass surfboards shaped by Redman. A few of those boards ended up in Costa Rica and Mexico, lol!
Spent my teens and 20's through the 80's and 90's taking the East Coast pilgrimage down to Hatteras countless times each year to score epic uncrowded peaks along the OBX (and some crowded days at 3rd groin Lighthouse). I havent been back down in many, many years, but feel like I'm long overdue for a trip down for nostalgia's sake. ❤ Great piece!
My first surf trip when I was young was here. I was so stoked. That was in 1976 with my good friend Dale Bennett. We had a blast and waves were bigger than anything we had ever seen. He still goes up there to shoot photos and respects that place so much.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thoroughly enjoyed my visit there from gulf coast TX. My son was married on that beach. Got outta the waves and Stopped for the wedding, then, right back in the surf!!! Spent the whole time in awe!!
The OBX is a mystical place. I have caught some of the best waves of my life there. Everytime I turn on NC 12, I feel at home!! Its true. On any given day you CAN find a rideable wave somewhere on that island.
You managed to capture so much energy with this short video, not only in the waves, but also in the place itself and its people. Simply beautiful, thanks for sharing.
wonderful film! I've made three trips to the OBX, as a moderator for the surfalorus film festival, and I absolutely love the place. I've met dozens of gracious and talented people there... I'm a born and bred californian surfer, but there's definitely a soft spot in my heart for the island... see you all again soon!
What a beautiful film about an incredible place. No where else like it. The landscape, the beaches, the waves, all so unique and amazing but the people there make it what it is. I'd kill for an Art's burger right now 😂
In 2006 when I was 6, we went on a surf camp trip that was before I really surfed, my brother and I boogie boarded and my dad surfed. We went there for 5 days I want to go back after I finish college!!! I’m from West Michigan and I’m a Great Lakes surfer
The rips bruh, the rip tides will FORCE you to learn the currents and the swell directions-no place like Hatteras Island-it got put on the map when they moved the Lighthouse in ‘99- fck I miss the island
Wow, what a bunch of legends! Volleyball is getting big on the outer banks, both indoor and beach. The local high schools recently put in beach courts and have beach club teams.
Camped at the lighthouse during the 70s and 80s, the lighthouse was insane then and the locals ripped it.Jimmy Crickets, Gingerbread house, 8oz Rolling Rock, Frisco on wind shift great memories.
Finally made the trip and it was everything I expected. I didn’t want to leave and I can’t stop thinking about the OBX. Waves, wildlife, beautiful scenery. I wish it was my home.
Been visiting the OBX 3-4 times a year since I was 10 years old. I’m 20 now and after visiting plenty of countries and surfing countless waves, all my best surfing memories still live in the banks. This video just got me so stoked for my next trip. Hopefully waves soon🙏🏻
This made me think a lot of Les Landes region in France. Very similar type of surf and empty beaches from Hossegor and up North on a good 100km. Great video!
Very similar to a endless Hossegor with no real access aside parking at a mile marker and running over the dunes 1/4 mile or 60 ft depending on where you are. Then novelties like the inlet that's just crazy how different it can be day to day or a shipwreck just out the breakers and the lighthouse draining point similar to desert point. Finding people to surf with was a issue especially in the winter.
I love the outer banks for kiting and winging. Spend 3 weeks there every fall. I will be interesting to see how many foil surfers i will see this year, prone foiling and wing foiling in the surf. Downwinding from 38 to the lighthouse is one of my favorites. Thanks for this awesome movie showing the awesomeness of OBX. Because there is miles of beach there is room for everyone. Larry
Great video I really loved it but you forgot about alot. Native of Hatteras island my father Garland midgette Johnny conner and many others were the fathers of surfing on Hatteras island. Just do your homework but still great film
Every time there's a vid, it's always the same 3-5 doods. It used to be annoying how there'd be a bunch of photogs on the beach, but they'd NEVER take a pic/clip of anyone except the same ol' 3 ppl, even if you were ripping just as hard as they were.
Great video I live in Wilmington now but used to live in VB, and am glad to call North Carolina home so that when I go up north ( used to be go down south), I’m no longer a vb kook. I’ll have no problem with the outer bankers against vb wankers
Big shout out to the whole OBX crew of rippers from Carolina Beach. Brooks Pearce says hello to the NA family. Hope all is well. How bout that quiver Brett Barley. Yeeew
You opened the video with Mr. Scott Busbey, one of the finest humans I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. If you are visiting the area, please stop by Natural Art Surf Shop.
Great surf film and some fishing but nothing in the great wind sports??. Windsurfing and now kiting, foiling etc! I learned more windsurfing in 1-3 years then in 25 surfing!
its a very unique place..but 1 hurricane and cut those islands in 1/2...its happened before....if youre out there and a hurricane comes..watch out...its another world out there.
Yeah spread the word that affordable housing and abundant job opportunities abound. We are a fertile ground for your up and coming small business. Just move down and figure out the rest later.

BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!!! East Coast Surfer are the BEST!
Blessed to call this place home and raise my children here. Words can't describe this island. 🙏🏝️
Sorry
Blessed to have surfed the outer banks in the mid 70’s…only people around after Labor Day were surfers and fisherman

Nicely done, and yeah, they're a different breed out there...........tough and optimistic. And REALLY good surfers.

I have been going down to the Outer Banks since 1986 and I am glad I can show my kids the beauty of the island. Hopefully 1 day I can move there.
Beautifully put together.
“If we lose the sense of the outer banks, it’s not gonna be that feeling of the outer banks anymore. It’ll just be… plastic buildings.

Never made it that far, but what a wonderfully put together doco. You can sense the pride and community in every scene
This was so well done!
Very well done...Like watching a Bruce Brown movie. Love to see so many of the locals that we've met over the years, each August.
From Plymouth n.c. we skipped school when the waves were good. Got caught twice. But still keep doing it. Now I skip work.

Live your dreams ...while you're still able !
Get out here man!!!
We’ll keep the light on for you.❤
awesome video makes obx look good

He comes the influx...great video!
I moved here from Honolulu. These shore breaks are no joke.
Awesome video. So well done. So fortunate to live in Currituck and have these beaches.
Wow, what a bunch of legends! Volleyball is getting big on the outer banks, both indoor and beach. The local high schools recently put in beach courts and have beach club teams.

i reallyyyyyyy love living here cannotttttt beat this swell
NC ❤
Def feel blessed to have grown up in coastal NC! OBX is a special place!
Finally made the trip and it was everything I expected. I didn’t want to leave and I can’t stop thinking about the OBX. Waves, wildlife, beautiful scenery. I wish it was my home.
Cant wait to get out there again
Great video Daniel. You have amazing talent
Great Edit . Sick .
My old Carolina home. Miss it so much.

So true. Every time we'd see Noah, Barry, Ryan, Craig, etc on the side of the road we'd flip a u turn to check it out. =]
after 25 years i hardly recognized Noah Snyder
Awesome! Love OBX!!
Well done y'all!
Worth the drive from VB, erry time!!
Great short film! Proud to be generation local. Stay tubed

That was dope . I’ve been in those waters . It is a special spot .
Great vid! Really enjoyed it
Great video!
Thanks for stopping by Oceans East at Oregon Inlet! The dock crew is the best!
So sick
Wow.. amazing vid!! Special place!! 😎🇿🇦

epic video!!!!!!!
Nice one Daniel! I still think your mural at The gingerbread house is awesome!
Special place!
I have been there twice in summer -- this vid brought me back for a quick moment in life.
Great video I really loved it but you forgot about alot. Native of Hatteras island my father Garland midgette Johnny conner and many others were the fathers of surfing on Hatteras island. Just do your homework but still great film

LOL Outer Bankers against Wankers, wish I still had one of those tees!
From VB , but this was my surf home .... Good Job !
sic.
So happy to be raised here and one day want to raise my own family here.
well done all, well done OB and nice job Inertia.
Favorite place in the world to get down to from VA. I have many of those pics hanging in my office! We spend as much time as possible down there. 🤙🏻
And great film. Amazing job!!
Awesome.
Big shout out to the whole OBX crew of rippers from Carolina Beach. Brooks Pearce says hello to the NA family. Hope all is well. How bout that quiver Brett Barley. Yeeew
Awesome!

Shout out John's Drive In
Every time I see Barley surf, I wonder how he is not on the challenger series and possibly the world tour.
Amazing.....never caught it over 4', but, week o barrels more than year at Pt Judith all year!
"falling out of the sky and just pray you set an edge", ha yup thats obx for you
Sand with soul
I have a lot of mixed feelings for my hometown. But this is a beautiful film. Good job.
You gotta swing by and see Super Shaper Mike Beveridge next time.
I remember his Surfblades boards, and WRV.
really sick
Lisa’s Pizza🤙🏻 best owners , great people….
We go to Corolla every year but I honestly don't think I've ever seen anything over a foot or two
really ironic. maybe consider this before you plan that 2nd trip of this year to HAWAII NEI ya? aloha
Dang.
Vacations in Southern Shores flat tops w/ no AC
Why so somber 🌿
Great surf film and some fishing but nothing in the great wind sports??.
Windsurfing and now kiting, foiling etc! I learned more windsurfing in
1-3 years then in 25 surfing!
its a very unique place..but 1 hurricane and cut those islands in 1/2...its happened before....if youre out there and a hurricane comes..watch out...its another world out there.
Gotta go to Higher Grounds Coffee and Icecream when in OBX ,NC .Right down the street from Wright Brothers Memorial.
👋👋👋👋👋
they all have one thing in common, they all say home the same.
Stop making videos. Keep it a secret. Just saying 😊
Only 17 minutes long?
Yeah spread the word that affordable housing and abundant job opportunities abound. We are a fertile ground for your up and coming small business. Just move down and figure out the rest later.
Love OBX, but why does this title make it seem like a single town? It's massive
the name of the series...
NC sucks. Don’t come here.
It’s too late brother. Miss the 80’s and early 90’s.
@@wewwajstudds9432 Man, you’re not kidding.
No Brett
