Catch Surf Team Beach House in North Carolina
We had the Catch Surf team house in full effect right on the beach in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Yes, it has a jacuzzi on the top balcony for the relax action after the contest. Big thanks to Bob Hovey, the owner of Duck Village Outfitters surf shops in Duck and Salvo, NC. Pic: GOAT

Mike Bain thumbs down
Waves were smaller today for the remaining bodyboard am divisions of the contest, here Division 71 grom Mike Bain showing his amp for the “ankle slappers”.

With the average wave this small, the sun blaring and the am contest over early, the boys were keen to make it a Catch Surf afternoon! Pic: GOAT

Catch Surf Beater bodyboard surfboard
This is Bubba a shredder bodyboarder who came down from Florida and he was frothing the whole contest to try a Beater and when he got the chance today, he ripped. He killed it skimming it, surfed it insane and got dropknee barrels on it! Pic:GOAT

Taylor Page shredding the gnar on the ONE
Taylor Page was on it skimming the ONE again and he decided to do it with sunglasses. This photo is a pretty cool artsy angle of of Taylor throwing frontside skim chunks. Photo:GOAT
