Hunting hurricanes on Hatteras

by Ben Mondy

Shares

Hunting hurricanes surely doesn’t make sense. When a hurricane is heading your way, most people’s natural inclination is to jump in the car and head in the other direction. Cory Lopez, Brett Barley, and Torrey Meister, though, do the exact opposite, hunting hurricanes on the East Coast to score the fickle, but perfect, waves that can result as a hurricane makes landfall.

“My favorite storms are the nasty ones,” says Corey Lopez, who drives for 10 hours from his home in the Gulf to chase the waves off North Carolina’s Hatteras Island, which is part of the Outer Banks, when a hurricane appears. “To drive through the rain and wind and find clean wave once the storm has blown through, that’s all part of the challenge.”

Using local Outer Banks surfer Brett Barley expert knowledge, the trio navigate coastal erosion, and torrential downpours, to be at the perfect spot when the wind shifts and conditions can change from victory at sea to absolute perfection.
