Yes, surfing is alive in well in the deep South too. We get this interesting blurb from a recent article in a local publication:
Surf shop teams from Garden City Beach, S.C., to Virginia Beach will hit the swells at Kitty Hawk on Thursday or Friday to compete in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the Oakley Surf Shop Challenge.
Sweetwater Surf Shop from Wrightsville Beach, N.C., is the defending champion and will attempt to fend off the challenge of nine other teams – including Whalebone Surf Shop and Outer Banks Boarding Company of Nags Head; Coastal Edge, Wave Riding Vehicles, Freedom Surf and 17th Street Surf Shop of Virginia Beach; Wave Riding Vehicles of Kitty Hawk; The Pitt from Kill Devil Hills; and Village Surf Shoppe of Garden City Beach, S.C.
Five region winners will advance to the nationals at the Huntington Beach Pier in California later this year.
