Tropical Storm Maria Makes Her Way Into the Swell Arena

MariaIt’s a week away from peak hurricane season here on the outer banks and by the look of it, we’re right on track. Hurricane Katia is currently pushing 8-10′+ waves our way and the brand new Tropical Storm Maria looks like it will be riding the coat tails of Katia. Maria is now packing 50 mph winds with gusts up to 65. The next few days will be epic for surf. Let’s just all be thankful for Katia staying out to sea.  As for Hurricane Irene, Hatteras Island has been taking a beating and needs all the support they can get. Please visit the Hurricane Irene Aftermath Help Line and consider a donation to help out.  Check the surf report and forecast often as we update with pics, vids, etc…

Brent

BrentGrowing up as a kid in Virginia Beach, Brent has always been surrounded by water. Sailing, surfing, fishing and skateboarding were his passions and foundation that drew him near the ocean. He attended Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA and graduated with a Bachelor's in Communication Arts & Design. Having worked at several companies in Richmond as an Art Director, and living away from the ocean for about 10 years, he and his wife decided to make the move back East with their sights on the Outer Banks. With surfing being his favorite hobby, the Outer Banks was a perfect fit. In 2005, Brent headed back to a more familiar and welcoming beach community and now lives in Kill Devil Hills with his wife and 2 daughters. Brent has run a Graphic Design business (BN Design & Advertising) for over 12 years. Complimenting his Design business during the day, Brent is also an acoustic solo guitarist and plays gigs regularly on the Outer Banks and is also a board member of the Surfrider Foundation, Outer Banks Chapter.View all posts by Brent →
