It seems like the “board is out of the bag” (sorry for the poor twist on a bad cliché).  The Outer Banks is one of the best surf locations and cultures in the U.S., if not the world.  Surfer Magazine recognizes this, and now the New York Times is catching on.  The OBX surf, and surfers, have been recognized by a variety of sources, but recognition from one of the most widely read papers builds quite a bit of credibility. 

Outer Banks local photographer, Chris Bickford,  created a stunning photo essay earlier this year focusing on the amazing surfers and surfing conditions of the OBX.  Accompanying this photo essay was a journalistic essay written by Chris that captures the Outer Banks surf culture perfectly.

The New York Times recently showcased some of Chris’ exceptional work from the photo essay.  Congratulations to Chris for being recognized and thanks for the stellar work.  Keep charging hard after those gorgeous Outer Banks photos.
