thats all i know

Im not gonna give away any amazing NC secrets but close by i recommend Oceanic Pier in Wrightsville and Carolina/Kure beach which are south of Wilmington and topsail.

**Kyle Willcox** · 08-10-2010, 05:41 PM

Hows the skim in Topsail anyway?

**topsailskim97** · 08-10-2010, 05:59 PM

not bad

**Kyle Willcox** · 08-10-2010, 06:32 PM

Well its gotta be not good enough if you want more spots. haha try the ones i said. Ecspecially at high tide if your looking to wrap waves. if your not to that point yet, Go to Emerald Isle for a nice flat beach

**motosurf** · 08-10-2010, 11:16 PM

the two hours before high tide at carolina or kure beach. try the pier in kb, there will most likely be a good crew of skimmers around there.

wrightsville has it's days, but i mostly skim there because i don't want to drive all the way to cb/kb

moto do you go to uncw?

**gozdilla** · 08-11-2010, 04:09 PM

I found a spot on Ocean Isle beach just north of the pier where there is a good slope during high tide. The area is only about 20 yards wide but it has some great shore breaks. You really have to watch the beach, I found this spot by luck bc there was no one in that area. you have to watch the shore to find what is good. Look for a channel that area will wash away the sand and create a small area with some slope. I also like Ocean Isle beach during low tide there is a sand bar where there is not a lot of waves and seeing how I am a skimming noob I can work on some of the skills I lack, BFF, FFF, moneky crawl, not falling, etc.

Nah just kidding I love you guys. I had no idea there were so many skimmers in Southern North Carolina.

Edit: Kure beach is where its at btw

My wife likes Ocean Isle bc it has small shops she can look around in and is not that busy. I went to Wrightsville one time and I could not get away from people you were lucky to get ten feet of space. How doe Kure compare, and how is the parking. Parking at Wrightsville is absurd.

**Blak_skimmer220** · 08-13-2010, 04:47 PM

kure. sandstone. c--street on wrightsville has it's days. high tide on all

**motosurf** · 08-13-2010, 07:22 PM

parking at wrightsville is absurd all summer. kb is much better, and free

**caliskim** · 08-14-2010, 04:53 PM

hey im heading out to NC from the 18th to the 24th and i am bringing my skim. im staying right on the beach at topsail and i cant really drive too far because we are visiting my brother before he gets deployed and i doubt they are going to want to drive to watch me skim haha. i am advanced and can ride waves so let me know where i should be going and point me in the right direction please.

havent been down for a few years, but there used to be a pier right by our house here. this is where i actually started skimming but i think my parents were saying they might be tearing it down if they havent already. down at the southern point, i think its called kings lynn or something, used to be a lot of fun. my dad and bro would always fish there but id have a blast with the board too

**Tyler Simmons** · 08-16-2010, 01:48 PM

hey, i skim wrightsville 3-5 times a week and c-street used to be a pretty consistent spot at high tide, i'm not saying it's not anymore, just due to recent dredging and sand bars changing with swells, the spot is not as consistent at high tide. A couple other WB skimmers and myself have been trying out the alternate spots along the beach. jetty is consistent right before or after high tide, and oceanic pier will break from time to time when winds are W. The best spot recently though, meaning like this week and last after the swell, has been access 35. It's right past the water tower before oceanic. Good slope good wraps.

And for shitts and giggles here's some pics of Wb when it was firing earlier this summer at c-street...
