I'm going to OBX the week of july 4th for a week. I'm looking for a summer board and i was wondering if i should buy down there? What are the shops like? i'm most likely buying used as i'm a broke student. Any help would be great.
Thanks

In the eye surf shop on Hatteras has some sick boards and the shaper could hook you up
ive seen some good used boards in natural art/in the eye in buxton.... there is also a shop on 12 in avon but there prices seemed a little high but they might have changed
Alright thanks, Now lets all pray for some waves next week.
even when its small, there's usually a longboard wave to find on the outer banks. have a good trip and enjoy the warm water.
in the eye and natural art have some good prices. but if i were you i would go on craigslist and get a good used board off thee. people put very nice boards on there for greeat prices.![]()
If you are driving from Halifax of flying into Norfolk, you may want to check a couple of the surf shops in Virginia Beach, or call ahead to Nolte, an OBX-based shaper located on the land side of the Outer Banks. WRV also has a shop in Kill Devil Hills and in Buxton you might also want to check with Fox Water Sports.
Which part are you staying at?
check out Outer Banks Boarding Company. those guys are really nice and have a pretty cool shop.
