Bra, this was so inspiring to me at just the right time, thanks! Poor, non-property-owning West Coast dude here, very burnt on land-buyer localism. Taking to exploring lonely, shifting sandbars. It's been a revelation! Those weird, tight, gnarly sand-suckers are becoming my happy place, and I really appreciate you sharing how to ride that type of wave smoothly and humbly. It's like being a beginner all over again after learning on the soft, fat Cali kelp reefs, but so worth it! The agro rich dudes at the Ranch, the Lane, etc would have no idea what to do with your waves. I love it!!! (Also loved the Divine Dolphin appearance.)
I live in Oahu and I've been in Virginia Beach for the last month now for work. So much respect for you east coast carvers. The surfing culture and atmosphere out here is electric and you don't take the waves for granted. Brett you're an inspiration my dude. Much alohaz
There are to many individual things to comment on... all the other comments have nailed it.. my wife wanted to see why i can't wait for another video to come out and now she knows.. she is hooked! Unfortunately this is going to speed up my relocation to the obx! Keep up the good work!
Didn’t see the boiler in back ground but that last overhead session looked like could be s turns. Were ever they were man those waves were epic. Haven’t been in water for years now unfortunately, never thought I wouldn’t be surfing least till I turn 90. Wish could get bk out in the water since my injury and surgeries but man watching a local man hitting the spots I surfed growing up to about 10 years ago before my injuries def makes me all stoked inside but man it also has me craving getting bk in the water.. you def put some mileage on your truck. All that traveling from Buxton to Rodanthe, back to Buxton etc. man your spending some Time in that truck in between sessions but hey u get to warm up rt. Do miss those days hunting down some awesome waves. Keep up the grt work, your videos are helping this man from Wanchese remember how much fun our waves can be.
Really sorry to hear about your injuries. It means so much to hear that videos like this can provide joy, and reliving moments you experienced yourself. Take Care and hope you heal up in a way to try and get back in the water.
What a great waves in Augusta! didn't know about it. I first need to practice the lessons to go down those barrels haha. Great job you are doing with this channel Brett. Thxx a lot!
Awesome edit, man. keep em coming. Great music, and drone footage. Cant wait to hit Real Watersports and the Waterman's grille for the the Triple S in June.
lovin' the vids!..as a dad surf check with the boy was on, as an avid surfer I love the surf footage as an aspiring photographer those aerial shots of the pelicans were sick!
Being a surfer from LONG ISLAND I think I can say this with impunity. East coast surfers just love surfing more than most. I say that with out any disrespect to anyone else but If you grew up surfing here than you would understand what I mean.
90% of the good waves in OBX happen in freezing cold water. Occasional good hurricane swells in summer months but they go away real fast after the wind goes offshore and the storm passes.
@@brettbarley my family migrated from Norway to Port Aransas 5 generations ago. Growing up on an island is so unique ass you know. My family deterred me from being a fisherman from when I was younger I wish they wouldn't have good yes come on down one of the best places to fish on the Texas gulf coast
Sick video Brett! Is Hawaii the only time of year you surf big waves? Seems crazy you just rock up from NC and get a bunch of WOTW entries. Not sayin obx doesn't get big, but I'm sure the Hawaiians don't think it does
pretzil16 no I use to always go to Puerto Escondido in the summer. Then I stopped to chase waves elsewhere, like Namibia. Now I’ll plan to do Tahiti in summer. But I still don’t spend much of my time in big waves... normally in the winter our swells are so powerful, it’s the perfect training. A 10-12’+ Swell here, with all the rushing current, is nearly as nerve wracking as days at pipe (aside from the biggest of them). This year our swells haven’t been very big, so transitioning to Tahiti will be harder. It normally just takes one good wipeout in bigger waves to get the confidence back, and be able to charge. But I don’t surf REAL big waves, so the hold downs at pipe, Mexico, teahupoo aren’t much (if any) longer than wipeouts in big days at home or Namibia.
Thanks for throwing my wave in there bud. Made my day even if you spelled my name wrong ;) At least you didn't call me Chris. I get that one a lot also which makes zero sense...anyhow, thanks again!
No worries at all dude. Greg is an easy mistake to make and one I’m quite used to getting. I was just stoked Jeffrey got it, and super blessed he took the time to get my email and send it to me. To see it in your vid is just a bonus! Means a lot at my age (45) w 3 kids, family, job, 2.5 cars etc to be able to mix it up w you young rippers. I know you say it’s best day of year so far but we had a session together on PI w Brant and a couple other guys a couple moths back that I thought was even better. Super wedgy and no current. You started off to the south and moved over to the peak we were on. Pretty sure you did a vid that day. I remember getting a good pit while you were paddling out. I got a lot of good technical barrels that day. Been an adjustment not surfing every day here like I did in CA for 25 years of my life but seems when it does get good here it’s so world class as far as beachies go that it more than makes up for any lack of consistency and truth is I’m surfing more days than not even if it’s chop or just small...when it’s got that horseshoe wedge shape it doesn’t have to be very big to have a blast! And people are genuine here with a very refreshing lack of pretense. Such a breathe of fresh air coming from SoCal, the land of too cool artifice...anyway, hope we can share a couple again soon! Thanks for letting an old dog get a few bones, my kids were super stoked to see their old man pulling in ;)
GREAT WHITE PLANT EATER I focus mentally on knowing I need to slow myself down and pick diff waves to ride a board like that. So I have to fight instincts and baby my moves so I rode it right.
@@brettbarley seems especially hard not to put your back foot where it usually goes. He must soften the first third of the rails a bit so they don't catch from being a bit forward. Thanks for the reply, stick with your channel if you can find time. It's going to be huge.
I like EDM music like any glow stick waving, baby binky sucking raver, but would it kill ya to play a little Foghat sometimes? Sick third person tube footage btw. Yewwww!!!!!
no, because I can't use copyrighted music. I pay a subscription to a music site, for royalty free use of their music, so i'm limited to what they offer (over 30,000+ songs though). unfortunately, there are WAY more people making decent electronic music on there, than rock music. I include rock whenever i can, but i have to FIND a decent song off that site first, and sadly there are very few. So the rock comes when i can provide it... but the odds are against me. Trust me, i grew up on punk rock, and would love nothing more than to just use it all for my videos like i use to before starting this web series.
@@brettbarley Oh wow man, I wasn't expecting a reply. So kind. I was just pulling your chain man, I get it. I got that line from Jim Carrey btw. Check the link when you have time. th-cam.com/video/wzP4-0PL5r4/w-d-xo.html Love your work.
Between Oregon Inlet and the lighthouse lol. I’ve found the secrecy of specific locations isn’t about greed, but more about encouraging others to explore the OBX and experience the joy of finding your own spot. I spent years in the banks as a young adult in my 20’s then again as aa father in my 30’s this past fall. I desperately wanted in on the secret locations but found the sand bars are constantly changing. I had a spiritual experience with my son exploring the beach from Coquina to Buxton- 60+ miles of coastline. Of course the standard spots were good, but due to the long period swell of Lorenzo, certain spots just didn’t have it- the lighthouse was average at best, the piers weren’t great either- but we found double overhead sandbars in places that seem to turn on only when the conditions are right. Pea island is a good place to start, look for off shore shoals and adjacent to those there is typically deeper water that can have a huge effect on where longer period swell can retract and keep its energy! Cheers
The dolphins during the paddleout... amazing timing! So cool. Epic sessions.
I used to live on the OBX. The dolphins are pretty cool to surf with!
Brett, that rear view is SICK! Great idea!
Woooow and the dolphins came in just as you finished. What a salute from nature!
You didn't have trained dolphins for that almost magical moment did you?No, that was a beautiful way to say good bye.

The agro rich dudes at the Ranch, the Lane, etc would have no idea what to do with your waves. I love it!!! (Also loved the Divine Dolphin appearance.)
It's definitely a different type of surfing, trying to navigate below sea level sandbars, and short period swell! A good challenge
I FEEL LIKE EVERY SWELL WE GET IS JUST BARRELS... AND I AINT COMPLAINING!
Exciting, thrill I'm sure.
I remember just swimming there and how strong that current is.
Wow, what a blast you all are having, thanks for sharing your video. I love it.
Brett Barley.
Do a Kickflip! Yew!
Where is this!!!
Watching your son and you is awesome, brings back memories of my dad teaching me about surfing as a child. Keep it up Brett
10:21 foamball deep...nice!!!

Thanks! That's a rough move from hawaii to VB. I hope you've been able to get down here for some surf!
Love how genuinely stoked this chap is.

haha epic! Thanks
By far one of my favourite people to watch. Heeps of surfing in your videos and heeps of unique angles
It is awesome that the dolphins showed up during the paddle out prayer to celebrate Floyd’s life! 🐬
killer vlog, as always. that steez layback at 12:31 👌🏽
The variety of shots and perspectives you capture is unreal! Such a majestic watch. Amping for more of this 🤙🏼
This man is the barrel kinggggg 👑
have you watched Jamie O'Brien?!?
- Fighter Will on smaller waves I’d still rate Brett
Surf your heart out Brett!
Haha you got a lil legend in the making Brett! Cool kid 😎
Great edit. The OBX boys are killing it. High quality surfing.
Those views from that new stick are "epic". Great vlog entry man.
Your swells deliver Really good waves
That Ian balding board is sooooooo sick!!! Killer footage
this vlog was more like a super highquality short film that was very enjoyable to watch. nicely done gentlemen!
Ben Wunderly thanks!!

Thank you Brett! Awesome footage! Looked like East Coast version of Pipe.
easily the best video yet
This might be my favorite episode yet! Brett, your commitment to creating quality content is super inspiring.
Jesse Mcdermott-Hughes thanks for noticing! I appreciate that
Fun swell! Not nearly as big down here in SENC but still super fun. Glad you scored, I enjoyed watching!
Pretty cool the dolphins were jumpin during the paddle out.. makes one wonder... nice edit
Great session!
Dude....barrel magnet. Wowww nice sessions!!
Sick one. Thanks for sharing
Such an amazing video! You are so good!
What a great waves in Augusta! didn't know about it. I first need to practice the lessons to go down those barrels haha. Great job you are doing with this channel Brett. Thxx a lot!
Loved the stoke! And what a moment of respect.
Wow the dolphins during paddel out was epic
Awesome edit, man. keep em coming. Great music, and drone footage. Cant wait to hit Real Watersports and the Waterman's grille for the the Triple S in June.
Watermens Bar and Grill baby back ribs are the bomb!
Same cup of coffee, every time. Sick one Brett.
Such a great video...
The Barley cam..I like it,Great idea
Damn those last clips were like indo! Those barrels were so perfect. I know that felt awesome!
that layback was insane dude!
Yeah Brett! Your killin it! Hope that swell makes its way up here!
Phil Duclos this swell was last week.
@@brettbarley oh, sorry bro. I surfed that one! Lol.
Good deal!
lovin' the vids!..as a dad surf check with the boy was on, as an avid surfer I love the surf footage as an aspiring photographer those aerial shots of the pelicans were sick!
Happy Easter fellas.
That gopro camera angle is sick 👌👌
What a day what a vid. Also loving the new rear mount footages. Keep it up Brett!
Killing it once again!!
Great vid, keep surfing fam!!
Offshore winds are a plus. They do not make it choppy in the surf and make it hollow at my local and places I know.
Dang those shots with the rear cam are psycho.
Wow bro...that’s some face tan...logging in that water time I can see...almost summer
Just discovered your channel and I love it !!
This gets me so pumped. Such an epic video 👊👊

Good things come to good people 👏 🇦🇺
12:58 DOLPHINS JUMPING AND SURFING AFTER PADDLE OUT FOR FLOYD !!!! THEY FEEL THE GOOD VIBS

Hey Brett what do you think of the forecast for this weekend?

Trabalho incrível...
Curto muito seus vídeos...
Abraços brother ✌🏾.
you're one of the best tube riders on the planet, idgaf if youre an east coaster
You add more barrels in this video than me in all my life))
Looks cold !!!## no thanx
Nevermind that...... Now that i see the second session who cares if its cold
90% of the good waves in OBX happen in freezing cold water. Occasional good hurricane swells in summer months but they go away real fast after the wind goes offshore and the storm passes.
Was this the first week of March? Wondering if that was the same storm that rocked a cruise ship off Delaware.

thanks! i want to come fish down there SO bad!

Im gonna move there wtf thats amazing
Backside tube riding tutorial please Brett
i covered that in my barrel riding tutorial. i didn't go totally in depth, as i mentioned Jamie Obrien did a good job on that.
`A shame to hear about Floyd, an old friend and bit of a legend. Cool seeing the dolphins at the paddle out, Floyd would have loved that!!
cheers

Hatteras is the training ground for riding barrels and punting airs.
Andy MacKenney no doubt!
Favorite wave of the whole video was at 5:34. came out of nowhere
"That's as fast as a tiger.."
Firing! What's water temp?
Kyle Stanford it was 48-52 in this video, pending where I was. It’s around 60 now
had to watch 12:24 a couple times. so deep
Yewww!!!
What are the water temps there?
they were between 48 and 52 when this swell was... now in the low 60s!
Brett you are the barrel king... just curious........ ~60F water with a hoodie wetsuit? What's the reasoning?
It was 48-52 this swell. It’s 60 now. I put the hooded suits up this week.
48-52.... eek! I forgot this was shot a few days ago probably. Great video as always.
