Aquageek,
Actually, North Carolina has some good waves and has produced a fair amount of pro surfers. Probably the best surf on the East Coast. Because the waves break further out on the East coast they often seem smaller than they really are, but don't be fooled. I can't tell you how many times I have seen NC going off the hook. However, as with most places (including California), it is usually flat in the summer. Either you have only been there in the summer, or haven't been as often as you say, because NC gets some good waves in the fall, winter and spring.
Sparx,
Your not supposed to be fighting the waves. It is a lot easier when you go with the flow and let the waves do all the work, including finding rip tides and waiting between sets before paddling out.
