Outer Banks surfing continues to garner national attention.
OBX surf is unique in many ways; perfect location to make the most of a variety of conditions (wind and swell directions), short continental shelf compared to the rest of the East Coast, hurricane seasons, and wide open beaches to name a few. Armature and professional surfers (Noah Snyder, Jessie Hines, Kelly Slater, Hobgood Brothers, etc.) view the Outer Banks as a world-class surf destination that is a must see for all lovers of wave sliding.
Unfortunately, some of these wide open beach breaks are being threatened, and the surfing culture is coming together to make their voice heard. Due to the potential beach closures in the Hatteras area to protect wildlife, some of the best OBX breaks could be shut off to vehicles and pedestrians alike. With the help of local and national mediums, awareness of the Hatteras beach closure issue and the impending threat to great beach breaks is being raised to a new level.
