Just ordered the Torq Mod Fun 7'2" from Outer Banks Boarding Company (OBBC). I used to surf all the time in OBX. I'm currently back in my hometown in Louisiana, so I surf either Galveston, TX or Florida. I've been to their store before and it's so nice to see they're still as friendly, helpful and professional as ever!
When I reached out to them about the specific board I wanted, Allen Briley responded to each and every one of my e-mails without delay, which is rare to find in this day and age. Even though they didn't have it in stock at the shop, Allen was able to find my board in the exact dimensions and color that I wanted at a warehouse in Wilmington, NC, and was even able to work it out so the sales rep at the warehouse would be able to ship it to me this coming week (versus having to ship it to the store first)!
Allen went above and beyond to get me the exact board that I wanted, and that's so important cause of the cost of these boards, how they ride differently depending on the dimensions and how hard it is to find the exact color you want. I highly recommend OBBC to anyone in the market for a new surfboard. I honestly would try them first before going...
Read moreI’ve been coming to OBBC for about 7 years now but on this last vacation one of the employees caught me eyeing an old school skate deck. He took it down off the wall for me and somehow talked me into buying a board. I just have to say I feel like my youth has been reignited, because all week I’ve been skating with my kids and having the best time of my life. And I’m not gonna lie, I came back on the last day of my trip and bought a carver which has been sooooooo sick. OBBC truly has the best staff, I can’t say enough nice things. They were so cool to my kids and the rest of my family, and always make our experience in the OBX just a little bit better. Also the selection of stuff they have in the shop is so unique and you truly can’t find it anywhere else. 5...
Read moreOuter Banks Boarding Company is such a gem! They have a fantastic selection of both big name brands like Patagonia, Dickies, and Vans, as well as local brands and their own OBBC line – which has some of the cutest logos and designs. I’m obsessed with their Outer Banks Boarding Company board graphic on the back of some of their shirts, it’s such a cool look.
They also carry a great variety of boards, wheels, and gear, plus lots of sales sprinkled throughout the store. The women’s section didn’t have quite as many skate-related fits (which I wish it did), but there were plenty of super cute dresses and other options – I ended up copping one myself!
All in all, definitely check this local spot out and support them. Such a well-rounded store with...
