  Wave Riding Vehicles is holding its annual Outer Banks Pro surfing competition in Rodanthe between October 19 and 26. 

It is an invitation-only event being billed as the “Battle of the Banks.” Two 12-man teams will meet in the waters of the Outer Banks.  The teams will be divided between 12 surfers from Virginia Beach and 12 surfers from the Outer Banks. 

Surfline is going to forecast the actual day of the event and will give a three to five day window for event organizers to choose the day with the best surf.

This is a one day event and the winning team will take home $3,600 while the losing team will share $1,900.  But more than money, there are big bragging rights on the line.
