I'm pretty salty and love the OBX for windsurfing and kitesurfing trips. early spring, late Fall, hudge house for short money for a week.
My buds own Real Kitesurfing. CT boys that never left OBX. Trip and Matt

It's a little corny / CW network-ish at times, but I enjoyed it. They do a good job of establishing a sense of place.
If you want to die, try taking a drink every time someone says "John B."
Really cheesy and predictable but somehow enjoyable.
Wait, is season 2 available? I have not received notice. Good show in an adolescent sort of way. Like Clueless, Sydney Wade, and Fool's Gold wrapped into one.
reminds me of Bloodline, shot in the FLA Keys

Bloodline is waaaaaay better.
Good guilty pleasure soap opera. I have a 13 y/o daughter, so this was everything last year.
I liked it for the salty crusty ocean feel. Reminds me of most seasonal beach towns. I spent a lot of time out on Nantucket growing up. I have friends that still live out there year round. This same show could have been filmed there for the most part. Summer People, Some Aren't.
It was filmed in Charleston I think, not OBX.
Wait. We now have a thread on Outer Banks?
Maybe my 16yo daughter will get an account here now.
Ok, I couldn't even type that with a straight face. She won't. But if she does she will roast you people for being "old guys" yet daring to post on Outer Banks. You will cry. Be afraid.
bloodline is waaaaaaay better, indeed.Quote:

Big difference between the OBX and the ACK.Quote:

Yes, Bloodline was excellent. I found Outer Banks easy to watch, but much more corny/geared to younger audience. 2 very different types of shows, other than both locales are awesome.Quote:

Edit: just watched the trailer. Looks way worse than I imagined. Y’all really have that much times on your hands?

Like rubbing one out to TGR ?
I enjoyed OBX for a good story and in ReaL Life kitesurfing and partying with old friends there. Year after year.
Maybe look into that...a real life, that is. Kook

ACK was a boat ride away as a kid and I still live walking distance to the big boats to the islands on the cape.Quote:

Met John Kerry kitesurfing there years ago. He was chill and now Biden has him on his team.
RIP Seaweed
Chix Box ain't the same

TGR is such a dork fest these days
What did they do to the Chicken Box? I used to stay down the road from there at my GF's house. Walking distance to Surfside. Good times.Quote:

He builds spec homes out there now, and brainstorms other stuff to sell to the super wealthy. Last I heard, he was planning an underground garage to house collector cars the rich could keep there year round. He is a good dude, and deserves it all, but we used to joke that he shit gold bricks. We had noooo idea....
