The Outer Banks of North Carolina, specifically the legendary Cape Hatteras, offers a geographically unique setup that is nearly impossible to find anywhere else in the world.
With over 70 miles of coastline and a distinct “bend” in the island, riders can choose between the challenging Atlantic Ocean and the shallow, expansive Pamlico Sound depending on the day’s swell and wind direction.
This versatility makes it a premier destination for every discipline, from high-performance surf foiling and long-distance downwinders to wing foiling. Because you can find offshore winds or wrap-around swells just by traveling a few miles north or south, the OBX ensures that you rarely miss a day on the water, regardless of the conditions.
For those looking to enter the sport, the Pamlico Sound acts as a massive, sandy-bottomed practice pool that eliminates many of the traditional barriers to learning.

The Lopez family took over Watermen’s Retreat and explored everything the Outer Banks and Watermen’s Retreat have to offer, including the gear storage sheds. After Luke got all the gear sorted, they drove out to find a classic summer surf session.
