Atmosphere

Layed back in a week of surfing it only saw 3 other people surf it and has just as much potential as all the piers.

OBX is One Big Spot! - Is it just me or could just about every street or landmark around here be considered a "spot?" The Cavalier is just a hotel with shifting sand bars out front like everywhere else to the north or south for 15 miles. Check the piers first or just go to the beach, look for sand bars breaking and go there!
