Outside Magazine

Paddleboarding is a relatively new sport (it’s actually an old Polynesian art, but it’s having a huge resurgence) that is soaring in popularity, and the Outer Banks is a world-class paddleboarding destination.  The OBX offers world-class surf on the Atlantic side and calm, tranquil waters on the Sound side; both offering great paddleboarding for different skill levels and different experiences.

Outside Magazine recently ran a five page story highlighting OBX paddleboarding and the abundance of natural beauty along the thin spit of land dangling into the Atlantic.  The article focuses on the journey of “Masochistic surf kook bent on taming very large stand-up paddleboard seek(ing) Graveyard of the Atlantic for island-linking expedition entirely at whim of wind and waves.” In essence, the article follows a paddleboarding beginner as he takes a marathon tour of the waters along the Outer Banks on his board.  It’s a great read!

Paddleboard with Seaside Vacations

At Seaside Vacations we believe your Outer Banks vacation should be so much more than just a house at the beach.  Seaside Vacations’ guests have the opportunity to participate in a complimentary paddleboarding lesson during their OBX vacation.   Starting in May, a free paddleboard clinic will be taught on Wednesday’s for Seaside guests.  Beautiful vacation rental homes still available!
