Seaside Vacations

ESPN Surfing wrote an article about the great surf this past weekend, and noted that there was very little fanfare because the Nor’Easter wasn’t named and it fell after Labor Day, but the wave quality surpassed Hurricane Bill and Tropical Storm Danny in most spots on the East Coast…especially the Outer Banks.

The article also included some great surf photography from great OBX photographers.  The above picture is an aerial taken by Matt Lusk, and it captures two surfers in two separate barrels in the same shot!…unreal.  The below photo from Mickey “2M” McCarthy shows a perfect OBX barrel.   

Here’s what ESPN had to say:  “[R]eal helpings were served on the Outer Banks, where the solid lines roped down the beach better than anything from the much-talked about Hurricane Bill and Tropical Storm Danny.

The high profile spots were unloading and there were barrels to be found at those random stretches off Highway 12.

The boys down there are gearing up for the WRV Outer Banks Pro presented by Hurley this weekend and the Eastern Surfing Association’s Eastern Championships next week. Looks like more surf for the weekend, but some wind.”
