Results from the Surf Competition on the Outer Banks

  The stars aligned yesterday on the Outer Banks.  Wind, swell, and weather were close to perfect, combing to create ideal conditions for the WRV “Battle of the Banks” held in Rodanthe. 

 

It was a gorgeous fall day on the Outer Banks, with sunny conditions bringing the temperature to the low 70’s, and holding the water temperature in the mid 60’s.  A strong offshore wind combined with swell leftover from the weekend’s storm to bring chest to head high sets of clean, glassy waves and a lot of “tubes.” 

 

The overall result from the competition was a great day of surfing had by all.  Specifically, the Virginia Beach team left victorious, and Nags Head’s Pat McManus ended the day with the overall victory due in large part to his impressive skills in the “tubes” that developed.  In addition to the “Best Barrel” awarded by Billabong earlier this month, Jesse Hines scored the best barrel yesterday taking home $500 from Hurley.
