due to the lack of pics and how much i enjoy shredding nc then i will put a couple pics from this summer. Durtboy how do you think skim spots are found? skimmers drive,bike, or walk and find something good. i usually stop at mp 2 the hilton pier then work my way down thru kdh to find waves. sand is constantly moving and changeing so to find skim you have to Look!!

Ohh nice. dude im not sure anytime is good really if you have a wetsuit but if you dont id wait till May. and the Beach that is consistently good at high tide is Kure Beach which is just south of Wilmington and Carolina Beach

**Colin Tracy** · 03-20-2010, 08:10 AM

UNCW skim club has gained official status for all potential applicants to the school. Trying to do some big things/fun stuff.

ahhh wish this woulda been around when i was picking colleges. woulda give uncw a much more serious look

**Colin Tracy** · 03-22-2010, 01:58 PM

Hey outerbanks guys, anyone feel like giving me some advice on campgrounds?

If you know any specifically close to skim spots that would help a lot. But I'm thinking of organizing a skimclub trip up before the years out and was wondering where would be the best spot where we're most likely to find a decent wave.

Rep for productive answers

Thanks.

**TBABY** · 03-22-2010, 02:10 PM

Avalon pier is pretty good, Hayman street has its days, and the bathhouse by the black pelican can get good to and the beach has been steep all winter and hopefully it will stay that way.
Hope that helps

**TBABY** · 03-26-2010, 08:27 PM

Couple pictures from a while back:

Shawn just because I live 30 minutes away from the beach doesn't mean I don't know were skim is,and there arer some guys up here that are "valley kooks" like me that know were good skim is at and whenever I go to those spots its not that bad, You skim at Avalon and First Street to, oh and I guess your SeCretzz Spotzzz is DAA best place to skim.

**mitchell p.** · 03-27-2010, 06:46 AM

im a proud valley kook that lived an hour away in camden. then i moved to the banks. but by living here and checking different spots at different tides can have its advantages.....
