Title: OBX in Sept. Woo hoo!
Post by: Zooport on June 30, 2020, 06:37:06 AM
We just booked lodging at Kill Devil Hills for Sept 7 - 12 and I'm totally psyched.  I haven't surfed much recently and haven't caught good waves since January when I was in Cali.  (I know there's good waves in NC, but the 3-6 hour drive limits my ability to score) I hear Sept is good in the OBX so any tips or spot suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've taken many trips to the OBX but it's been a while. Kill Devils breaks crazy good I know, as does the rest of that magical strip of coast. Sept is prime hurricane season and chance are way good you'll score. Good hunting and you'll be stoked.

Zoo, that’s awesome.

I will tell you this. In a few years I may have to spend significant time inland. And when I do I’ll have a $1,000 craigslist inflatable outboard and I’ll foil behind that thing in every river and lake I can find. Just sayin...

Yeah, that sounds really fun, cowboy.  I'm only a few hundred yards from a small lake that you are allowed to SUP on, but I haven't bothered.  We have a giant lake about an hour away and I've been thinking about figuring out some way to learn to foil there.  I have a couple of friends with boats who might pull me, so hmmmm....

Thanks cook.  I hope I can catch it solid, but not too big.  Not going much has left me a little weak in my surfing skills, so I'm hoping for waist to shoulder high.

This Oxbow ad has stuck in my mind b/c the NC surf looks so nice:

That part of the country is a mystery to me, but someday...
