DrewFor brothers Kevin and Drew Scalia, Hatteras Island Boardsports is the result of a lifelong obsession with the Outer Banks of North Carolina and specifically the village of Avon on Hatteras Island. Their grandfather built a family vacation home in the late 1960's before they were born and for several years was a partner in ownership of the Avon Fishing Pier. Kevin & Drew's mother was a school teacher so with summers off they had been raised coming to Avon their entire lives for family vacations and have been rolled in the Hatteras surf since they learned to swim. They discovered early on that this quiet strip of beach is where they belonged and, although they left for college and other jobs, they always found their way back. In 2002 their pipe dream of one day owning a surf shop was realized when they opened Hatteras Island Boardsports in Avon. In 2012 they celebrated HIB's 10th year in grand style with the opening of their newly built facility on a vacant lot across the street from the Avon Pier where their grandfather had helped establish family roots decades before. Hatteras Island Boardsports surf shop is now a recognized mainstay of Hatteras Island and Avon and was designed to share Kevin & Drew's love for the area with both locals and tourists so, whether you are a seasoned local or a leisurely summer visitor, they’ll have what you need to get the most out of Avon and Hatteras Island.View all posts by Drew →
