There’s something special about the Outer Banks! It’s known for its stunning beaches and vibrant community, making it the ideal spot for such high-stakes competition. Not only do competitors have access to fantastic surf conditions marked by incredible barrels, but they also get to show off their skills to a community that consistently supports surfing. WRV President LG Shaw shared his enthusiasm about the event saying, “The Outer Banks always makes the call on the surf, but we love bringing the WSL to her beautiful shores year after year to share her beauty with the incredible athletes chasing the dream of qualifying for the Challenger Series and ultimately the CT.” It’s easy to see why local surfing fans wait eagerly for this event each year!

Nestled on the coast, Jennette’s Pier offers an elevated vantage point for spectators to soak in all the action.
