just curious,i sometimes go surfing in the cornish sea when i am lucky enough to holiday there,anyone else use their well earnt swimming skills for surfing or indeed any other water sport....fighting waves is hard work!!!!!
Having spent my entire life in NC, I can say with a great deal of certainty the following:
1. The waves are puny, small and more suited for a canvas raft or a boogie board.
2. Lots of kids buy surfboards and paddle about, mostly be the piers. Lots more put them on jeeps to impress the fairer sex.
3. There are always occasions where a medium sized wave will pop up but that is far from the norm, far far from the norm.
4. If you exclude hurricane induced waves, the # of good wave days is even smaller. I bet you can catch a doozy during a hurricane.
5. It's only 60 miles to the gulf stream in many places. Now that's some quality fishing.
I'm sure there are all sorts of pro surfers from NC, surfing by day, delivering pizzas to the tourists by night to suppor their pro careers.
I've also skied in NC but wouldn't make any claim the slopes are worth a darn here either. Scenery at both the beach and the mountains is spectacular, however.
