Mark Dawson Wins 2nd Annual OBX Shootout Pro Surfing!
Posted in: News and Happenings, Surf Pictures, Surfing
A few pics (above) were taken at the event that went down at Jennette’s Pier today. The surf was definitely contestable with rampy, peaky, clunky 5-8′ faces. Despite the onshore slush, surfers were able to draw out some pretty impressible lines. Congrats to Mark Dawson for winning the 2nd Annual OBX Shootout Pro Surfing Event! Also, many thanks to Duck Village Outfitters and Catch Surf for putting on what looks like a notable event for years to come. Photo Credit: OBXsurfinfo.com
