LIFE IMITATING ART?

What does ‘Outer Banks’ mean for the OBX? It’s hard to deny the impact.

People at Kitty Hawk Surf Co. check their phones for info about“Outer Banks”cast members after a sudden rainstorm delayed a live viewing of the first episode of the second season last on July 30. The live viewing was part of a pop-up event hosted by Kitty Hawk Surf Co. in partnership with Volcom and Netflix aimed at promoting a clothing collection created by Volcom.

T Staff Writers

he sun had just set behind the dunes of Jockey’s Ridge State Park, and dozens of people — young and old, tourists and locals — settled in on the lawn outside the staged Kildare Island Surfboard Co. on Croatan Highway.

They fixed their eyes on an inflatable projection screen, anticipating the premiere of the second season of Netflix’s “Outer Banks,” a fictional teen drama that splashed onto the streaming scene at the start of the pandemic.

Kitty Hawk Surf Co. temporarily

masqueraded as the Kildare Island business in reference to the fictional setting in the series. The shop was covered in show-themed window graphics featuring John B and Sarah Cameron, two protagonists. Inside, customers purchased T-shirts, shorts and hats from the official “Outer Banks” merchandise line, which Netflix created in partnership with Volcom.

The apparel is sold in about 400 stores nationwide but in Nags Head, Volcom partnered with Kitty Hawk Surf Co. to create a unique, exclusive store build-out that physically connects customers’ love of the fictional show to the real Outer Banks.

“It’s the heartbeat of the show,” said Chris Martinez, Volcom’s North American retail marketing and special events manager. “It only makes sense to offer this within the Outer Banks

and to create this kind of experience, especially being able to touch so many different people.”

Reactions to the hit show on the barrier islands have been mixed. Some locals say it accurately represents the essence of their home, while some struggle to reconcile that the show wasn’t filmed on the Outer Banks or in North Carolina.

Regardless of its reception, it’s hard to deny the series, along with a widespread itch to travel domestically during the coronavirus pandemic, has had a significant impact on tourism in the area.

Hit show spotlights OBX “Outer Banks” launched on Netflix on April 15, 2020, and became stream-

ing giant’s No. 1 show within weeks.

The barrier islands were closed to nonresidents from March to May of last year due to the pandemic, but the show’s impact on tourism already was becoming apparent.

Between April 15 and May 15 of last year, the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau’s website traffic grew by 61%, compared with the same time period in 2019, said Lee Nettles, the executive director of the visitors bureau. Traffic to the bureau’s merchandise page grew by more than 4,400%.

Around the same time the show launched, the itch for travel kicked in around the country due to pandemic lockdowns. When the islands reopened at 12:01 a.m. May 16, 2020, tourists flocked to the Wright Memorial Bridge to get a place in line.

Kevin DeBell of Kitty Hawk Surf Co. shows off the Volcom“Outer Banks”collection on Friday, July 30, 2021. Volcom partnered with Netflix as promotion for the second season of“Outer Banks,” which premiered July 30. As part of the premiere, Kitty Hawk Surf Co. transformed it’s Nags Head, North Carolina, store into the fictional“Kildare Island Surfboard Co.” and held a pop-up event featuring a treasure hunt around the store. TRENT SPRAGUE/THE VIRGINIAN-PILOT PHOTOS from Page 9

The Outer Banks, with its wideopen spaces for recreation and relaxation, made the region ripe for visitors during the pandemic, Nettles said.

The renewed tourism was largely a welcome sight in the region, which has relied heavily on the industry since the 1970s and ’80s.

“Tourism is far and away our primary economic engine,” Nettles said. “It’s been that way for generations, really.”

Nettles couldn’t say for certain whether the show had a direct impact on tourism, but said he thinks the show

brought more name recognition to the region and piqued tourists’ curiosity.

‘Phenomenal’ summer for tourism Alicia and Jay Sutherland have seen the recent tourism boom firsthand as Airbnb co-hosts in the area.

“This is definitely the most crowded tourism summer I think we’ve ever had,” Alicia Sutherland said.

The Sutherlands have lived on the Outer Banks since they got married 24 years ago. Jay Sutherland’s parents moved to the area 24 years before that.

Recently, Alicia started playing a game: She would count how many different states were represented on license plates around Kitty Hawk. She reached 35 in two weeks.

“I don’t remember it ever being that way,” she said.

The area used to be “crickets” after Labor Day, Alicia Sutherland said. But over the past 15 years or so, the busy season has extended well into the fall.

That led the Sutherlands to invest in a bargain price condo in early March 2020. They listed the property as a short-term rental on Airbnb.com and started getting bookings within two hours.

When the islands closed weeks later, the fate of their listing was uncertain.

But since the islands reopened, bookings at the Sutherlands’ properties haven’t slowed.

Word spread among their friends about their new business venture, and the couple now co-host 11 Airbnb properties in and around Kitty Hawk. This year, the town was No. 8 in top destinations based on Airbnb search data.

The heightened popularity also is reflected in local numbers. The Outer Banks has been collecting record occupancy tax revenue every month from Turn to Page 11

from Page 10

June last year through May from visitor bookings, Nettles said.

“So it’s been pretty phenomenal,” he said.

A study by an apartment news site, RENTCafé Blog, found the Outer Banks as No. 1 on its ranking of “Most Resilient U.S. Destinations During Lockdown,” ahead of Yellowstone National Park. According to its analysis of Google search data, the Outer Banks saw the smallest drop in interest: 25%, compared with the 78% drop of interest for Brooklyn, New York.

Why the show isn’t filmed in NC “Outer Banks” nods to real North Carolina geographies and culture throughout its first and second seasons, name-dropping places such as Figure Eight Island and Masonboro, and featuring the logo of North Carolina-based soda Cheerwine throughout the sets.

To the chagrin of some locals, though, neither season was filmed on the real-life chain of barrier islands, or anywhere in the state.

The show’s creators — twin brothers and North Carolina natives Jonas and Josh Pate along with University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill alumnus Shannon Burke — envisioned filming the show in Wilmington, which was once a hub of the film industry before the state ended its tax credit incentive program for the industry in 2014.

But Netflix opted to film the show elsewhere due to anti-LGBTQ legislation passed by North Carolina’s General Assembly, including House Bill 2, the controversial 2016 law also known as “the bathroom bill.” The law required people to use the public restrooms that corresponded to the sex on their birth certificate, rather than their gender. House Bill 142, which in 2017 partially repealed House Bill 2, included a provision that prohibited North Carolina cities from enacting nondiscrimination ordinances until it expired on Dec. 1, 2020.

Filming for both seasons of “Outer Banks” instead took place largely in Charleston, South Carolina, where the trio of creators brought to life their fictionalized “amalgam” of places along the North Carolina coast.

Similarities to the real Outer Banks Although viewers won’t see any images from the real Outer Banks on their screens, some locals say the show at least somewhat accurately captures the essence of the barrier islands.

With more than 100 miles of beaches and coastline, the Outer Banks is almost synonymous with water — and in the show, there’s no shortage of scenes where protagonist John B and the rest of the Pogues cruise through the sound in their boat or surf some “burly lefts” out in the ocean.

Individuals at Kitty Hawk Surf Co. pack up chairs after a sudden rainstorm delayed a viewing of episode one of the Netflix show“Outer Banks”on July 30. The live viewing was part of a pop-up event hosted by Kitty Hawk Surf Co. in partnership with Volcom and Netflix aimed at promoting a clothing collection created by Volcom.

“I think (the show) is kind of centered around being on the water and being a culture that’s driven by the water, and so in that regard, I think we share some similarities,” Nettles said.

Beyond the physical landscape, the show also alludes to much of the region’s way of life.

Jessie McClary, an art teacher at First Flight High School in Kill Devil Hills and a 22-year resident of the Outer Banks, said she sees many similarities between the show’s characters and local high school students, including her daughter and her friends.

“The way those kids care about each other and take care of each other — they do that here,” she said.

McClary’s 17-year-old daughter, Gabi,

said that she and her friends spend their summers the same way that the Pogues do — minus the treasure hunting and violence, of course.

“Working in restaurants, going to the beach, hanging out, going out on the boat in the sound, that’s what we have to do here,” Gabi McClary said. “And I think that they did a good job of showing that.”

For locals, the recent increased tourism in the region can be both a blessing and a curse.

While the influx of tourists does overrun the ordinarily small, quiet region, it supports the local economy.

“What people don’t realize is that we couldn’t live here without the tourism,” Jessie McClary said.

Alec Daniel, an 18-year-old from

Gloucester County, visits the area each year with his family. The “Outer Banks” show fan stopped by the Kildare Island Surfboard Co. pop-up event in Nags Head last week and proudly wore a “Kook Princess” shirt from the Volcom line.

“This is somewhere that I’ve been my whole life,” Daniel said, “so it was cool to watch a show about this place.”

Kurt Korte, our favorite local surfcaster — or shall we call him our favorite OLYMPIAN surfcaster — just got back from Tokyo, where he was surfcasting for the first ever Olympic surf competition. In fact, the New York Times calls him “Olympic surfing’s wave whisperer.” But we were curious — what’s a normal day in the life like for Surfline’s director of Atlantic forecasting here on the Outer Banks?

According to their website, every day, hundreds of thousands of people around the world depend on Surfline to “enrich

their experiences in and around the ocean.” Or, in other words, to get good waves. But how do they do it?

“It’s actually kind of crazy,” says Korte.

“You think about the idea of the surf bum that rolls out of bed, blows off work and goes and surfs — it’s definitely not that,” he laughs. According to Korte, it’s a whole global network of over 100 highly experienced professionals, international offices in Huntington Beach, Australia, and the United Kingdom, contractors spread out across the world, thousands of monitored cameras, and over 20 years of immaculately kept observational data on ocean, swell and weather patterns that you can’t find anywhere else.

According to Korte, his day starts well before sunrise. At this time of year, that means around 5:15 to 5:30 a.m. At other times of year, that could mean even earlier.

He gets out of bed, grabs a coffee, and heads to his office, his home office that is.

They usually have an office in Nags Head that he would get to eventually, but like many of us, for now they are working at home.

The first thing he does is go to his computer, pull up Surfline, and look at the different cameras they have streaming across the East Coast. For the Outer Banks they have around 30 cameras placed from Duck to Frisco, but he usually covers areas from Virginia Beach, where he’s from, to

areas in South Carolina. He also takes a look at the wind observations and the buoy observations. According to Korte, we have a great buoy network off our coast here.

“Basically, because I surf, and because weather is pretty much my life, I always kind of know what’s going on and always have a good idea of the general patterns of the place and how much surf we’re going to have.”

But Korte uses all of that information to see what the ocean is doing, how much swell is out there, what the swell tide is, what the swell period is, swell direction, the different types of swell in the water, Turn to Page 16

“I’ve been surfing since I was 16, so I kind of just know what I’m looking at.

So, it’s about combining that classroom work with that personal experience.”

— Kurt Korte

and starts to formulate an idea of what that means for surfing. Then he starts writing his daily morning surf reports for Surfline’s website. Korte writes a different report not only for each of their 30 something spots on the Outer Banks, but for a good chunk of the East Coast.

Surfline puts out these reports two times a day, every day, 365 days a year, no matter what. If it’s not Korte writing the report, it’s our other favorite surfcaster Rob Mitstifer, lead forecaster at Surfline. On the Outer Banks they have a team of three: Korte, Mitstifer, and a camera crewman.

Next, Korte writes the short-term forecast, which is basically the forecast for the rest of the day. Will it get bigger? Will it get smaller? Will the tide help, or will it hurt?

When is high tide? What is the wind going to do? Their goal is to find windows of the biggest surf and the cleanest surf, and help their users decide when they want to go surfing.

This information is really helpful to users on the Outer Banks, because here things can change rapidly. According to Korte, there are a lot of crazy weather patterns that are

unique to the Outer Banks. He tells about a day recently that was a perfect example of just how dynamic weather here can be. The day started with strong onshore winds, and then there was about an hour in the morning where the conditions were pretty good, and it was clean, and then the wind came back up and it was blown out again.

“So on a day like that my job is to help people take advantage of that one hour,” says Korte.

The rest of the day is spent looking at wind, weather and swell models. Korte uses a swell model that Surfline itself created, called LOTUS. He uses information from that to formulate and update Surfline’s seven-day surf forecasts for the East Coast, which he also updates daily.

But, he doesn’t just sit behind a computer all day, he gets out into the elements too. According to Korte, no matter how reliable a camera is, nothing replaces going to look at it yourself. He gets out on the beach to observe the surf and the weather patterns each day, but especially for significant events like a hurricane swell or a nor’easter — for his forecasts, and also for his own personal self intrigue.

And he does this without the use of any

tools or contraptions. He can do this solely with the expertise of his own eye.

“I’ve been surfing since I was 16, so I kind of just know what I’m looking at,” says Korte. He also has a master’s degree in meteorology from N.C. State. “So, it’s about combining that classroom work with that personal experience.”

After he finishes updating the sevenday forecasts, he writes the afternoon surf report, which they also do every day, 365 days a year, where he’ll update anything that has changed since the morning. In between all of those things, Korte says he may have meetings with other forecasters, he may have a consultation with a professional surfer or two, or he may even be talking to the media if there is some kind of significant weather event going on. Korte says that if there is a significant swell going on around the globe, either Korte or one of the other surfcasters know everything about it.

According to Korte, that’s the kind of stuff surf meteorologists love to nerd out on.

But the real question is, does Korte get to get out in the water to take advantage of the good waves he predicts?

“It’s definitely encouraged,” says Korte.

In fact, according to Korte, at Surfline

they consider it an essential part of the job.

“We always joke, ‘You have to validate your forecast,” he says.

According to Korte, they never end a meeting without asking each other if they got to surf. Even after the Olympics he said his coworkers would say, “How was the Olympics? Get to surf?” (He did.)

He feels fortunate to work at a place where they are so passionate about enjoying the lifestyle. He says even the CEO will say, “You didn’t surf? What do you mean you didn’t surf?!”

But his favorite part of the job is getting to help other people enjoy the waves. He loves sitting in front of a challenging forecast, and being able to use his experience to see through the complications of the weather to produce a really good forecast.

“Just the idea that I can use my experience to help people get waves,” says Korte.

“Because people are always happy when they get waves. Think about after a good day of waves on the beach here — everyone is happy. Positivity is just oozing out of everyone, so helping people to take advantage of that is probably my favorite part.”

“And hey, if I get to get a little sample of it, that’s great, too,” he grins.

Artist Mike Davis builds ‘Faces of Eve’ layer by layer

By Mary Ellen Riddle Correspondent

Mike Davis has a layered approach to his current exhibit that’s visual and intellectual in nature. He puts a lot of muscle and thought into creating three-dimensional portraits that have cultural and historical backgrounds. With X-Acto knife and paint brush in hand, coupled with a wild imagination and mad skills, he created 14 portraits — “Faces of Eve,” which are on display at the Dare County Arts Council this month. The Kitty Hawk artist includes a portrait of the biblical Eve, but the series represents Eve as an allegory for women.

Each work is framed to hang on a wall, but the compositions are three-dimensional, hence the need for the knife.

“I have cut miles and miles of illustration board, and my arthritic fingers show that,” Davis said in a recent phone call. He uses carefully cut board, watercolor paper, paint and foam core to form compositions that evolve into a collection of women in lush backdrops wearing a variety of headdresses.

He achieves his three dimensions through layering the substrates. And while his approach to painting is more graphic and flatter rather than shaded, Davis uses color to create the illusion of depth by employing contrasting and neutral colors. Add in his arresting patterns and the rich headdresses, figures and backgrounds pop.

The lifelong graphic designer and illustrator includes embellished backdrops in the compo-

sitions that are inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha, the Czech graphic artist, illustrator and painter who lived in Paris during the Art Nouveau period and was known for his stylized theatrical posters.

“I’ve done a lot of research on Mucha — I’ve incorporated that kind of imagery, circular shapes and icons in them,” Davis says of his backgrounds. The late 1800s - early 1900s Art Nouveau movement was inspired by curves found in nature and that captured a sense of movement.

Movement in Davis’ work comes about by employing curves and repetition of shapes.

The audience will discover a pale nun with a black habit posed in front of a circular rose window found in cathedrals. There is Eve with glorious blonde tresses and a bitten apple. Verdant greenery partially blocks an oncoming storm. Quetzalcoatl’s multicolored, feathered headdress and cerulean neckpiece are set off by a solid orange orb behind the golden Aztec deity.

Again, illustrating his handcrafted approach, Davis deftly painted hundreds of colored dots throughout the series that were made using a tool he created — a cake decorator with a 16th of an inch circular opening to which he glued a handle. The compositions tease the eye by his use of colorful forms and motifs such as garlands and blossoms, geometric shapes, spirals, stripes, and s-curves.

Lush comes to mind when viewing these visages as well as infinite patience and skill.

“I am literally building these things, and that’s the fun process,” says Davis who not

only handcrafts the work of art and the tool but also creates the mats and does the framing. The exhibit will include a description of how he produces his constructions.

Davis brings to this series years of experience working as a graphic designer and illustrator. Armed with a degree in commercial art, he worked in his field in Washington, D.C., before moving to the Outer Banks. His portfolio includes hundreds of magazine covers, illustrations for NASA and McGraw Hill and a large body of three-dimensional fine art featuring scenes and portraiture. Most of this show’s work was created in 2020 and 2021 and veers a little from past portraits he has done. The pandemic caused the cancelling of an exhibit scheduled for last October for Davis at the arts

council, but it gave him time to experiment.

“These are a little less graphic,” says Davis of the new work. “The idea is experimenting, trying to come up with a way to create an image that you feel comfortable with. The earlier ones were a little too cartoony.”

Just like his technique, his series presents a layered experience. The rich artwork that jumps from the frames is, on one level, like an old-fashioned candy shop with glass jars filled with mouthwatering delights of all shapes, sizes, colors, and tastes. It’s also an imaginative and historic jaunt through time viewing women from a variety of eras and cultures. With knife and brush in hand, Davis gives us both a unique and thought-provoking experience to savor and ponder.

Part of the fun of the WRV OBX Pro surf contest is hanging around the south beach where plenty of athletes, along with their friends, family and fans can mingle. DARYL LAW/COURTESY

JENNETTE’S PIER

Summer peaks with WRV OBX Pro

By Daryl Law Correspondent

If you’re looking for some first-class entertainment, then grab your beach chair, sun block and towel before heading to the wide, clean beach at Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head for the 2021 WRV OBX Pro surf contest sponsored by Pacifico.

More than 150 professional athletes will converge on the southside beach for the World Surf League event starting Wednesday, Sept. 1, just before Labor Day weekend.

Organizer L. G. Shaw, who works out of the Virginia Beach Wave Riding Vehicles Surf Shop, says this year’s event features equal prize purses, $10,000 each, for both men and women. By mid-August, four

dozen women and 100 men had already signed up. He noted the prize money gets distributed to “a few rounds” deep.

A World Surf League Qualifying Series event, competitors go head-to-head in the waves, which break over top of a sandbar.

In past years, hurricanes or nor’easters have kicked up big swells just in time for the competitions.

The wave riders compete in timed heats and those who have the best rides on the best waves and accumulate the most points assigned by beachside judges then they move on to the next heat until eventually there’s an overall winner in each division — men’s and women’s.

There’s also quite a scene on the beach with several sponsors including Dragon

eyewear, Catch Surf soft top surfboards and more. Just over the dune in the nearby Jennette’s parking lot, check out the WRV pop-up shop with limited edition tees, hats and commemorative posters.

Pacifico has sipping samples and there’s an athlete and VIP tent on the beach where members of the WRV Model Team are often hanging out, Shaw said.

Because the surf conditions can change radically from day-to-day, organizers plan to hold the contest on the best three or four days during a five-day wave window over Sept. 1 to Sept. 5. There will also be occasional beach games and giveaways to keep things interesting.

“On lay days, we’ll have the soft board contest for the pros, locals and visitors if

they want to try,” Shaw said. “The pop-up shop will be open the whole time with limited edition gear and clothing and we plan to have Jeep [Outer Banks Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram] on site along with Pacifico sampling.”

At night, Pacifico also plans to sponsor parties at numerous establishments along the Outer Banks with some great music, Shaw noted. The surfing heats will be streamed live thanks to the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau, he noted.

“Stay tuned for the locations of the after parties and events at the local watering holes,” he said. For information on surf days, party nights and the live streaming, go to wrvobxpro.com.

Be there, aloha!
