surfing: Outer Banks Gaining Notoriety for Stand Up Paddle Boarding
- 11/18/09 12:45 AM
Outer Banks Gaining Notoriety for Stand Up Paddle Boarding The Outer Banks was recently featured in StandUp Paddle Magazine, a publication that focuses on Stand Up Paddle Boarding. All of the conditions that make the Outer Banks a classic surf destination, friendly locals, uncrowded breaks (most of the year), consistent surf in a variety of conditions, and potential for amazing waves under perfect conditions, also apply to Stand Up Paddle Boarding (aka SUP). From a broad perspective, SUP is pretty much longboarding while holding a large paddle, but there's more than meets the eye. SUP is a fantastic full body workout that … (2 comments)
surfing: The Outer Banks ranks high on most surf lists; Surfer even named Kill Devil Hills number six on its list of “Top Ten Surf Towns.”

The Outer Banks ranks high on most surf lists; Surfer even named Kill Devil Hills number six on its list of "Top Ten Surf Towns." It offers world-class surf conditions; ideal conditions for beefy, fast waves, and shifting sandbars that create the strong potential for heaving, chocolate colored "barrels" (i.e. the hollow area inside the wave that is created when a select few waves crash) if you are lucky enough to be in the right spot under the right conditions. A short continental shelf, winds out of every direction, and 200 miles of curving coastline hanging into the Atlantic Ocean come … (0 comments)
The Outer Banks is picturesque for a wide variety of reasons; sunrises, sunsets, lighthouses, wild horses, and the list goes on. But how many photographers brave the natural elements and claw their way through 10 foot surf to capture the perfect shot?
The Outer Banks has a rare breed of photographers that make the most of the world-class OBX waves to capture the perfect surf photos; many of which are taken while the photographer struggles to stay afloat in the relentless onslaught of powerful waves. If you have ever … (0 comments)
surfing: Outer Banks - Hurricane Season
- 08/29/08 03:11 AM
Hurricane Season is in full swing, and it can be a major concern on the Outer Banks. A large storm can interrupt vacations and wreak havoc on local living conditions. Hurricane Season refers to the period in the year when hurricanes usually form. Worldwide, tropical cyclone activity peaks in late summer, when the difference between temperatures aloft and sea surface temperatures is the greatest. However, each particular basin has its own seasonal patterns. On a worldwide scale, May is the least active month, while September is the most active. In the Northern Atlantic Ocean, a distinct hurricane season occurs from June 1 to … (0 comments)
surfing: A Beginner's Guide to Surfing
- 06/17/08 06:31 AM
A Beginner's Guide to Surfing By Britt Boughey If you want to start surfing, you must first ask yourself if you satisfy some prerequisites. Your swimming ability is of primary importance. You don't need to hold the pool record at your local Y in the 500m freestyle, but you do need to be able to hold your breath underwater for short periods and be able to swim ashore should you lose your surfboard. If you can't do this, or your health doesn't allow steady, moderate activity (such as paddling a surfboard), you're better off watching from the beach. The … (0 comments)
