WRV Outer Banks Pro Contest is from August 28th - Sunday, September 1st from 7 am - 4 pm.

Spectators are welcome to hit the sand and watch some of the top surfers in the region and the world compete in this late summer competition that promises to be one of the best live shows on the beach. Wave Riding Vehicles has stood for surfing since it was first founded in 1967, and this annual week-long surfing competition continues the celebration of this tradition in both its causal and competitive forms.

The competition takes place on the beach next to Jennette’s Pier in the town of Nags Head, which makes it easy to reach for visitors throughout the central Outer Banks. Vacationers who want to check out the action can take a beach chair or beach blanket to the sand to enjoy the display of amazing athletics and abilities, or can head to the pier itself for a bird’s eye view of the competition in the ocean waves below (There is a fee to enter the pier).

Come to the community room at the Jockey's Ridge Visitor Center for a rotation of educational, hands-on activities. Learn more about Jockey's Ridge State Park through hands on activities, species stations, games, pelts, and a presentation about Jockeys Ridge. Stay for as long or little as you want to. Hang out and ask our educator questions!
