Isaias morning. Wild seeing the Pier boarded up and an empty beach this Aug am. For us in #southnagshead about hour of rain 4am 40-60 mph winds. Already backing down. Tracked up 95 corridor, I'm sure there was some heavy rain and everything that comes with all of that. Here's to everyone in its path making out alright. #outerbankspier @fishheadsobx #isaias #hurricane #summervibes #outerbanks #nagshead #nature #beach

Visiting look back mountain again. I've dabbled in photography for last 18 years as something to do when I couldn't hang in a heated skate session, or I was traveling to skate somewhere, or just needed some content for a website. I've been lucky to have been asked to shoot some pics for a magazine article or a news paper etc. My first paying gig was @jgrantbrittain calling me at home to shoot some Wanchese pics for a small piece in @skateboardmag got a check for 260 bucks! I was blown away! Since then I've had shots published in @juicemagazine @thrashermag @outerbanksmilepost and a few zines and webzines #pinkcrack . I even sent in shots to @surfer_magazine in the 90's and they ran them!
Here's a fun factoid; I've been in the local paper for surfing, skateboarding, sailboarding, and snowboarding. Thats right, snowboarding!The closest snowboarding to this sandbar is 6 hours away!
I've never had a cover. Thanks to the creative and talented group over @outerbanksmilepost I do now! Thanks Matt and Lauren Walker, Jesse Davis @jrdareyouever getting a gram... Makes me feel good about my 2k drone investment! #mavic2pro #southnagshead #milepostmagazine @allhailskaten @ronnie0skates #obncdrones

Look for it all around the outer banks! It's free!

This eve was the last evening of our island closed

This eve was the last evening of our island closed to visitors. The Outer Banks is open Sat morning starting at 12:00 am. It's safe to say this will be a challenging summer. As restaurants are still under restrictions for dining in, Grocery stores are slowly building up their inventory, and the hospitality industry is faced with new challenges to keep their clients safe from week to week. Are we ready? Memorial Day is right around the corner. Personally, I am ready to leave the island and do some camping/traveling of my own.

Today Fish Heads opened for curbside takeout with a good looking selection of the pier favorites you all know well.
It really feels like we have traveled a long road over the last couple of months, and all we can do is work together to not undo what we have accomplished. #inthistogether #lookoutforoneanother #emf :) @fishheadsobx

@jessedavisdesign with the bookends for the portrait orientation album. Jesse took care of every nook and cranny in this bowl Few more clicks from first couple months it was open. Nags Head Y skatepark was a good warm up for Wanchese sessions. #letsbuildapumptrack @townofnagshead #eastcoastaholic #eastcoastskateboarding #skateboardphotography

The Nags head Y park. 2003? We got contacted by the town of NH to help with ideas. The bowl finished was Something amazingly different to ride. many worn out legs doing laps in this park. @grindlineskateparks first East Coast park. They left here and went straight to Trinidad CO. Kinda similar. Start at one end, end up in Aerobic misery on the other. We were hoping for that stand alone bowl in that one graphic. By the time Hubbard skated The Chief with us, he knew what we needed. Street course looked great on paper... The YMCA has wiped their hands of the park. Turning it over to the town of Nags Head. This has made it a free park. It hasn't seen much love in the way of maintenance over the last five years, could use a complete rebuild. #stepup @townofnagshead #nagsheadnc #eastcoastaholic #skateboardphotography I shot all but one of these.

Starting this album with the Packy show. From inno

Starting this album with the Packy show. From innocent boy showing up with his sponsor with product for everyone to corrupted young man with a 12 pack and some smokes. Packy , the Fork crew from VB, O'Neal's, Mark Gee, Malichi, Maxwell and let's not forget possibly the only RnR in the oververt Pat Clark! . Wait! There was a Canadian version of Pat Clark that did it! More on that later... #wanchese #givebloodskatewanchese #eastcoastaholic #skateboardphotography

Crew pull up in that van and pour out into the bowl.

@pwwdubya destroyed every time he came, lipslides high to low, hurricane in the OV. Head high airs to hangup or tail CRACK! 📷Poss @glengut
@buckwalter73 was a force in this bowl. One of many that left that mainland life behind to absorb themselves into the caress of sand and salt air...and 🍻 and 🛹! 📷 @eastcoastaholic
@patclarkskate what can be said but pure #eastcoastlegend PC was maximum effort every time he skated. 📷 @billyrunaway
@sk8ermalachi from GA showed up one weekend put on a show of insane power. Definitely the first staple gun to be done here! 📷 @eastcoastaholic

@eastcoastaholic barely remember ever doing a trick there. Scott claims its finger flip sweeper. Did have those before left hand crumbled. @potscaryman (go follow Scott for some sick #quarantine classics)

@m.alan_gee up from Charleston eventually making the move up here showed some insane speed and power through Smith grinds. @eastcoastaholic

Yeah their bluefish, we know what's up... The catch was 3 hours beach fishing in the evening. Never saw another person. #apocalypse #fishzombi

Oh yeh funny story. That one shot, the fish coughed up the cut shrimp when he spit the artificial out. We were bait fishing hour before losing all our shrimp to bluefish...
