  Wow! Going to the OBX is like a semi annual pilgrimage for me and I'm sad to leave every time. I love my NC mountains, but something about the OBX community just gets me. I just left last week and already can't wait to get back. You guys did a killer job telling this story.

  Nice little surf film. Bodyboarded the Outer Banks when I was a Marine at LeJeune in 88-89. Mostly Cape Hatteras. One swell there were 4 storms in the Atlantic. And the waves I was dropping into would suck out 4 times before it broke on shore. Just drop, drop, drop, drop cover, and spitted skimming on the beach. Had to keep your eyes closed or they'd be filled with sand. Total shore mutants!

  Been traveling all over the world (Indo, Tahiti, Fiji, Oz, New Zealand, Morocco, Canaries, Galapagos, etc...) over the last 40 years and surfed some amazing waves but there is nothing that beats the Outer Banks!

  What an outstanding video. Our family  vacations here every summer and we have built some amazing memories that we will cherish forever.

  From Plymouth n.c. we skipped school when the waves were good. Got caught twice. But still keep doing it. Now I skip work.

  You managed to capture so much energy with this short video, not only in the waves, but also in the place itself and its people. Simply beautiful, thanks for sharing.

  Tears of joy on my face and I have no words to describe the beauty of OBX and its people.

  Having surfed many breaks in many zip codes and country codes, I can’t say the Hatteras breaks are the most memorable— but my own experience is that the beauty of the place, the character of the people and the overall vibe of this corner of the Atlantic is powerfully impressive and have given me a memory box of just massive smiles and a few deeply personal rides. Hats off to you’-all who define this place. <br><br>Brave NC. Just love it. Love the South. <br><br>But eerie sharky at times :) <br><br>I invite you all to come surf a few spots I’ve moved to in France. I know … France…. But for space, size and less crowds, I think you’ll love a sojourn on the other side of the same ocean.
