Outer Banks Surfing
Appearing less than 1000 years ago, the OBX are a set of barrier islands created as a result of the merger of the cold Labrador current from the North and warm Gulf stream from the south. Creating miles of shifting beach breaks, the OBX is exposed to many types of East Coast swell with many piers around to provide protection from the wind and cross-shore drift. You'll find amazing days for the beginner to those perfect days full of barrels.
