The Core Banks

A few weeks back, I was lucky enough to join, Dirtbag Taylor on a trip to North Carolina's famed Core Banks. If you are interested in learning more about them please send all questions to Taylor, he has got some really good maps.

We trailered Dirtbag Taylor's boat to the quaint town of Moorehead City and charted a course for *******. The surf was around six feet when we arrived, but the prevailing NE winds that generated the swell also made for a very strong current.

Taylor rode his Woody Whittle shortboard like a frog dancing on a lilly pad. I rode the "Something Special," a single fin that did not feel at all "special" and began bodysurfing mid session. A photo of that can be seen on

At the end of the day Dirtbag Taylor developed a special man crush on two local gentleman. One of them owned a Hobie power boat shaped by Phil Edwards. Google it. Its neat looking.

A special thanks to Taylor for giving me the opportunity to join him!
