For filmmakers Jordan Montgomery and Clay Mein, the Outer Banks isn’t just a surf destination - it’s a community, and a second home.
"A big aspect was wanting to fit in all the individuals into the talent pool for the film. We sure wish we could get more. To do so in the short production window was for sure a little challenging, but a necessary one. We also knew we had to focus our film on the area in a different way than some of the other films in this series. The Outer Banks is a bit different than other places. It’s not a single city or town, so to drop a needle on just Kitty Hawk or Buxton and say this is the Outer Banks wouldn’t work. It’s truly such a dynamic and vast area." - Jordan Montgomery, Director & Cinematographer
"The hardest part of this project was capturing the heart of the Outer Banks’ tight-knit surf community while staying true to their way of life. It’s about more than just surfing. It’s understanding the deep connection to the ocean and honoring their lifestyle. The challenge was to tell their story authentically, without misrepresenting or glossing over the real struggles and joys they experience, so they feel respected and truly seen."
- Clay Mein, Director & Cinematographer

Blessed to call this place home and raise my children here. Words can't describe this island. 🙏🏝️
Sorry
Blessed to have surfed the outer banks in the mid 70’s…only people around after Labor Day were surfers and fisherman
Nice little surf film. Bodyboarded the Outer Banks when I was a Marine at LeJeune in 88-89. Mostly Cape Hatteras. One swell there were 4 storms in the Atlantic. And the waves I was dropping into would suck out 4 times before it broke on shore. Just drop, drop, drop, drop cover, and spitted skimming on the beach. Had to keep your eyes closed or they'd be filled with sand. Total shore mutants!
Wow! Going to the OBX is like a semi annual pilgrimage for me and I'm sad to leave every time. I love my NC mountains, but something about the OBX community just gets me. I just left last week and already can't wait to get back. You guys did a killer job telling this story.
Been traveling all over the world (Indo, Tahiti, Fiji, Oz, New Zealand, Morocco, Canaries, Galapagos, etc...) over the last 40 years and surfed some amazing waves but there is nothing that beats the Outer Banks!
The OBX looks amazing, i grew up and still live in panama city Beach FL and it has become a tourist hell. No sense of local community left here, that died years ago, it all revolves around tourism now and you will never find an empty beach. We have three main breaks, all of them small and you only get good surf a handful of days out of the year. I sincerely hope it stays this way for you guys and doesn't get ruined by commercialism and over population. Guard what you have and dont take it for granted.
These folks are the real deal
Nicely done, and yeah, they're a different breed out there...........tough and optimistic. And REALLY good surfers.
Manteo H.S. Class of 90'-91'!!!
This was so well done!
Beautifully put together.
“If we lose the sense of the outer banks, it’s not gonna be that feeling of the outer banks anymore. It’ll just be… plastic buildings.
“
I love the outer banks. Spent a lot of time there through the 90's. I wanted to move there but I wasn't a commercial fisherman and I didn't want to open a tourist shop.
So I chose CA and have lived and experienced more then most and have had incredible times in and out of the water..
Altough CA is great it has a lot of down falls. Obx has that sense of community and so mellow. I need that in my life more then ever now. A very special place indeed.
Never made it that far, but what a wonderfully put together doco. You can sense the pride and community in every scene
My first surf trip when I was young was here. I was so stoked. That was in 1976 with my good friend Dale Bennett. We had a blast and waves were bigger than anything we had ever seen. He still goes up there to shoot photos and respects that place so much.
Tears of joy on my face and I have no words to describe the beauty of OBX and its people.
Very well done...Like watching a Bruce Brown movie. Love to see so many of the locals that we've met over the years, each August.
The OBX is a mystical place. I have caught some of the best waves of my life there. Everytime I turn on NC 12, I feel at home!! Its true. On any given day you CAN find a rideable wave somewhere on that island.
awesome video makes obx look good
wonderful film! I've made three trips to the OBX, as a moderator for the surfalorus film festival, and I absolutely love the place. I've met dozens of gracious and talented people there... I'm a born and bred californian surfer, but there's definitely a soft spot in my heart for the island... see you all again soon!
It’s y’all haha
@@jodyratcliffe9825 good point! sometimes this californian forgets who he’s talking to 😉
In 2006 when I was 6, we went on a surf camp trip that was before I really surfed, my brother and I boogie boarded and my dad surfed. We went there for 5 days I want to go back after I finish college!!! I’m from West Michigan and I’m a Great Lakes surfer
Live your dreams ...while you're still able !
Get out here man!!!
We’ll keep the light on for you.❤
Making me miss home.
Awesome video. So well done. So fortunate to live in Currituck and have these beaches.
You managed to capture so much energy with this short video, not only in the waves, but also in the place itself and its people. Simply beautiful, thanks for sharing.
This made me think a lot of Les Landes region in France. Very similar type of surf and empty beaches from Hossegor and up North on a good 100km. Great video!
Live in NJ but all our family vacations were in Frisco and learned to surf there with my older brothers. Now have 18 year old twins that I taught to surf. They just took their first big surf trip there without us. Doesn't get any better than that
He comes the influx...great video!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thoroughly enjoyed my visit there from gulf coast TX. My son was married on that beach. Got outta the waves and Stopped for the wedding, then, right back in the surf!!! Spent the whole time in awe!!
I learned to surf when I lived in KDH for six years in the 80s- early 90s. Mostly drove down to Rodanthe and Buxton for less tourists and better waves with warmer water. WRV and Hatteras Glass surfboards shaped by Redman. A few of those boards ended up in Costa Rica and Mexico, lol!
Great Edit . Sick .
Awesome! Love OBX!!
My old Carolina home. Miss it so much.
The rips bruh, the rip tides will FORCE you to learn the currents and the swell directions-no place like Hatteras Island-it got put on the map when they moved the Lighthouse in ‘99- fck I miss the island
I have been going down to the Outer Banks since 1986 and I am glad I can show my kids the beauty of the island. Hopefully 1 day I can move there.
Great vid! Really enjoyed it
So true. Every time we'd see Noah, Barry, Ryan, Craig, etc on the side of the road we'd flip a u turn to check it out. =]
From Plymouth n.c. we skipped school when the waves were good. Got caught twice. But still keep doing it. Now I skip work.
Excellent video!
Every time I see Barley surf, I wonder how he is not on the challenger series and possibly the world tour.
What a beautiful film about an incredible place. No where else like it. The landscape, the beaches, the waves, all so unique and amazing but the people there make it what it is. I'd kill for an Art's burger right now 😂
in the early 80swe called scott and caroll john lennon and yoko ono and the in the eye logo is awesome
Drove down by myself in 2005 with just a book and some maps. '89 Ford Bronco II. Had a bodyboard and some camping equipment. First wave I found annihilated me and I lost a swimfin - never to be seen again. I remember being raked across the bottom covered in shells and rocks. Rode one of the longest waves of my like in Ocracoke and almost drowned in the same day. Found some campgrounds to crash at and pitch my tent. No GPS, no cellphone, no digital camera. Just followed a book. You just can't get that experience anymore.
Finally made the trip and it was everything I expected. I didn’t want to leave and I can’t stop thinking about the OBX. Waves, wildlife, beautiful scenery. I wish it was my home.
So sick
Thanks for stopping by Oceans East at Oregon Inlet! The dock crew is the best!
Well done y'all!
So happy to be raised here and one day want to raise my own family here.
Great video I really loved it but you forgot about alot. Native of Hatteras island my father Garland midgette Johnny conner and many others were the fathers of surfing on Hatteras island. Just do your homework but still great film
Every time there's a vid, it's always the same 3-5 doods. It used to be annoying how there'd be a bunch of photogs on the beach, but they'd NEVER take a pic/clip of anyone except the same ol' 3 ppl, even if you were ripping just as hard as they were.
Special place!
Wow.. amazing vid!! Special place!! 😎🇿🇦
From VB , but this was my surf home .... Good Job !
I have been there twice in summer -- this vid brought me back for a quick moment in life.
Been visiting the OBX 3-4 times a year since I was 10 years old. I’m 20 now and after visiting plenty of countries and surfing countless waves, all my best surfing memories still live in the banks. This video just got me so stoked for my next trip. Hopefully waves soon🙏🏻
sic.
Great video I live in Wilmington now but used to live in VB, and am glad to call North Carolina home so that when I go up north ( used to be go down south), I’m no longer a vb kook. I’ll have no problem with the outer bankers against vb wankers
LOL Outer Bankers against Wankers, wish I still had one of those tees!
Nice one Daniel! I still think your mural at The gingerbread house is awesome!
NC ❤
I love the outer banks for kiting and winging. Spend 3 weeks there every fall. I will be interesting to see how many foil surfers i will see this year, prone foiling and wing foiling in the surf. Downwinding from 38 to the lighthouse is one of my favorites. Thanks for this awesome movie showing the awesomeness of OBX. Because there is miles of beach there is room for everyone. Larry
Amazing.....never caught it over 4', but, week o barrels more than year at Pt Judith all year!
well done all, well done OB and nice job Inertia.
"falling out of the sky and just pray you set an edge", ha yup thats obx for you
I have a lot of mixed feelings for my hometown. But this is a beautiful film. Good job.
You gotta swing by and see Super Shaper Mike Beveridge next time.
I remember his Surfblades boards, and WRV.
Sand with soul
Favorite place in the world to get down to from VA. I have many of those pics hanging in my office! We spend as much time as possible down there. 🤙🏻
And great film. Amazing job!!
You opened the video with Mr. Scott Busbey, one of the finest humans I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. If you are visiting the area, please stop by Natural Art Surf Shop.
Lisa’s Pizza🤙🏻 best owners , great people….
Stop making videos. Keep it a secret. Just saying 😊
Awesome!
Awesome.
really sick
Shout out John's Drive In
really ironic. maybe consider this before you plan that 2nd trip of this year to HAWAII NEI ya? aloha
Why so somber 🌿
they all have one thing in common, they all say home the same.
We go to Corolla every year but I honestly don't think I've ever seen anything over a foot or two
its a very unique place..but 1 hurricane and cut those islands in 1/2...its happened before....if youre out there and a hurricane comes..watch out...its another world out there.

Dang.
⚡️⚡️
Only 17 minutes long?
NC sucks. Don’t come here.
It’s too late brother. Miss the 80’s and early 90’s.
@@wewwajstudds9432 Man, you’re not kidding.
Love OBX, but why does this title make it seem like a single town? It's massive
the name of the series...
Yeah spread the word that affordable housing and abundant job opportunities abound. We are a fertile ground for your up and coming small business. Just move down and figure out the rest later.
The guy said its hard living there. In what way ? Guys got planes , two story joints everywhere,epic surf. Pretty sure there's a supermarket. Some people's idea of a hard life is alot different others. Doesn't look too hard to me 😂😂😂. It actually looks like a dream.
And they got Spanky’s Burgers
Almost all of those big ocean front two story joints are empty 9 months out of the year, the locals don’t live in them. Living in a coastal place takes it toll, your constantly doing home maintenance because the salt in the air literally corrodes everything, you’re vehicle will start to rust out, you don’t have the cleanest water on tap at your home. You’re guaranteed some kind of storm each year, may be one that shuts down the road then you’re stuck with what supplies you have until the road is opened back up ( hopefully you have enough supplies because you could possibly be stuck for weeks without power on top of that). Down in Hatteras your not really close to anything also, so if there’s a medical emergency it’s a long drive to get to a hospital, and if it’s real serious it’s an even longer drive to Norfolk (maybe they brake the helicopter out, not sure how that works) The local job market is limited and most of the locals are not rich. I would think that it would be harder living there but the pay off would be so much more worth it
Those big houses are weekly rentals that go for $2k+ per week. When I was growing up, you worked at a restaurant in the summer and construction in the winter - there were no big box stores. I remember when K-Mart opened up in KDH, lol. People were hanging out there because there was nothing else to do. Need I mention the storms, and what comes with that. Yeah, definitely much different living than most of the country.
No Brett
Gotta go to Higher Grounds Coffee and Icecream when in OBX ,NC .Right down the street from Wright Brothers Memorial.
Love my state ❤️ 💙 ♥️
Daniel Pullen is by far, my FAVORITE OBX photographer. 🤌
Great video!
