Riding out the storm in pender county. Miracle that it's been downgraded but still devastating storm surge and flooding. This is the price we pay to enjoy surfing, fishing, and hunting on the Carolina coast. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Everyone be safe.
Brett all praying for you and your family. Im from Port Aransas Tx. (Mustang Island) We lost everything due to Harvey. Take care of yourself and your family. God bless. All the love from The Ousley Family.
I live in kill devil hills, moved there in 02' and fell in love with surfing. I love seeing barrels or just good waves on the outerbanks! When the waves are really good I'm usually working....I get lucky every once in a while.
I've been leaving comments on this video. Hatteras was spared by the storm, it hit south of us. But rest assured I'd be alive either way, where my home is. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, I do daily posts there. Thanks for your concern!
Hope things are going okay on the southern end of OBX. I'm camped out in KDH, and got some fun pre-storm waves up here... just didn't rip them quite like you do🤙
I love that knot... no what happened with breaking the fish off, was our leaders had knicks from casting into the schools. 15lb leader getting tangled amongst hundreds of fish.
I am a professional surfer. :) I just love video work and making edits, and this was a route to be able to use everything, instead of wasting footage throughout the year.
the surfing/fishing footage is sweet, but I think it's a shame guys are trying to build "careers" around the endless self promotion of social media and vlogging.
I respectfully disagree. I feel that the vlogs, footage, and especially insight/shared wisdom produced by these awesome guys and gals is helping to shape their audience into being better people. It inspires us to be awesome. I'm never going to be able to surf like the pros. But I have days of good surfing and good fishing with my dad. I think Brett is just sharing the epic nature of life and geography. Something we should all be proud of. Keep sharing!
My career was built long before i started Vlogging, and definitely before social media took off. Getting into Magazines was the main goal, performing in contest, and videos (dvds) being last. I then built a career off surfing waves like Pipeline, and barrels at home, and editing my own videos. It is weird promoting yourself sometimes for sure, but the Vlog came into play because I wanted to enlighten people on life at my home in general. I wanted to shed information on what professional surfing is really like, and not try and be fake on social media making things always look perfect. Sometimes you have bad sessions, sometimes you don't catch fish, etc. etc... Most people on social media want their lives to look perfect to everyone on the outside. I just want to be transparent and put out content that people enjoy. It is a weird area to be in, as far as self promoting, but I just love to stoke people out, and if it can be done through video, then that's rad. But it's definitely not for everyone.
your good at surfing and all but u don't seem that cool like u always have a bummed mood about the waves. always annoys me when you comment badly on the surf sesh like just be happy u had the sesh
Ya know... your comment has made me think about some things. First off, I'm never in a bummed mood, but just relaying factual stats on how the waves were. BUT, in saying that, I'm now seeing how it could come off. But secondly... I'm wondering why it is i always feel the need to explain the imperfections in the swell? I know part of it is because I've grown up in a place with consistently good waves, so our standards for surf conditions are much higher. But I'm thinking the other part has to do with my profession. I think subconsciously, I want there to be reason for not getting a bunch of good clips in a session, and i want to relay that reason, so maybe others don't think I was surfing bad or something. I know thats stupid, and I think your comment alone has kind of made me aware of that. I had a lot of fun surfing all of these days. The surf the last day actually was really difficult and not super fun, but i enjoyed it anyway, it just got cut short unexpectedly due to the winds. I might touch on all this in a future vlog. I appreciate the honesty! And it's going to make me think about the way i discuss the waves in videos to come. I know I've always tried to downplay the wave conditions to friends after surfing, cause i don't want them to be bummed they missed it, but i think for the videos thats the wrong way to go about it. Please know, I'm almost always in a good mood. :)
So I just went back and watched this edit again (which i'll do from time to time with episodes). I know your comment is based off more than this video... but i will say, the one time i was bummed out in this video, towards the end, had a LOT to do with the heavy weight of Hurricane Florence bearing down on my home. Still going to work on what you mentioned... but wanted to bring to light the realities of what was going on throughout this episode. It's hard to be excited over waves when you know in 2 days your homeland will possibly be facing destruction.
Vlogging in a porter potty is way better than talking in your car
Dylan Watters sequel vloging in an elevator
Exemplary of the east coast surf lifestyle. This is exactly why I keep leaving California to come over and work. I love the videos. Keep em comin!
so cool time with your Dad.....love this
I have rewatched the air at 11:21 like 10 times in a row. Gnar
Never realized NC had such good surf. I do however realize I’m unhappy without the ocean in my life
That air at 10:09 was so sick
Anxiously awaiting PT. 2. Hope you are all ok
We're good here in Hatteras... but every single place to the West and South of us got hit hard.
@@brettbarley good to hear! Still waiting for pt. 2 though haha!

Stay safe homie!
God I love watching y’all land those bull reds. We get lots of schools running here in Texas as well. Do you get red snapper? Or Spanish mackerel?
Some red snapper in the summer... but plenty of Spanish Mackerel May-Sept
Brett Barley pompano? Man makes me wanna get out there on those flat days. Which In Texas we have a ton of those. 😂
Best camera work yet. Guessing you guys have some new camera gear. Good stuff.
Same as it's been... I have been finally flying my drone though.
Brett Barley any thoughts on if Easterns happens next week? We were supposed to head down Saturday.
For sure... Nags Head fared well during the storm.
As always, great vid...stay safe!
I love this

Holy 8 foot air!!
That was suck a sick video bro. Great footage in this one. I forgot how hard you rip. Fuck! Glad you guys scored. Good luck with the storm. 🙁
So did 11:23.
YAY FOR WAVES!! BOO FOR HURRICANES COMING AT YOUR HOUSE.
Brett Barley what fins do u ride at beachies? Also, keep up the great work 🤙🏽! YEW for Cali!
Great edit Brett. Glad you didn’t get hit too hard. Stoked.
What board are you riding?
On the good days I rode a 5'10" x 18.5" x 2 3/16" Blackout Model from SUPERbrand.
Crazy stuff in surf city today. Waves were breaking over the pier. Hope you guy are doing alright up there in hatteras
1:05 He’s got his super annoying “surfer laugh” down to a science.
Glad you got some sick waves man. Hope you and your family stay safe good family values always hell yeah man that's the way to do it
That was so sick! Loved seeing you fish with your family.
Great footage and surfing. Shred on. Good luck with the storm from Folly Beach, SC.
Mason is the man!!! loved seeing Dallas' smiling face too@!! sick vid again!!
Sweet bro. Good thing is the storm is only Cat 2, so hope you and your family are fine!!! Stay safe!🤘🏻
You are surfing great . Try going to RI if you have to leave it beats being stuck with no power and blown out surf. Stay stoked
Shark patrol!
EPIC, and you are a straight SAVAGE!
I’ve never seen the water so clear in Hatteras
Hope things are going okay on the southern end of OBX. I'm camped out in KDH, and got some fun pre-storm waves up here... just didn't rip them quite like you do🤙
Ill be prayin for yall even tho the hype train was super high for this storm. The wifey already evacuated though. Sick vid my dude.
You should look up how to tie an FG knot. It's the best braid to mono knot. I'm sold on it. Morningtide fishing on youtube taught me. Yew!
I love that knot... no what happened with breaking the fish off, was our leaders had knicks from casting into the schools. 15lb leader getting tangled amongst hundreds of fish.
what's the latest with the hurricane..hope you and the family are safe, and home is undamaged..sending prayers from oz
Brotha we are praying for you and your family and all of the Outer Banks. Keeps us updated if you can and be safe 🙏
Late to the game...you should call your new port-a-potty vlog “Port-a-Vloggy”
You’re welcome 😂
Surf with Ben gravy
Dang dude! The lighthouse was going off! Went to Jennettes and got nothing nearly that big!! Yeww
when r u gonna join the ct m8
Subbed bro. Hope your house is fine.
11:16 made me fart.
Why not a pro surfer?
