Surfing conjures images of sandy beaches, crashing waves, and the open ocean. But did you know that you can experience the exhilaration of riding the waves right in the heart of the bay? Welcome to the world of Cape Charles surfing – right here on the Chesapeake Bay.
While the Chesapeake Bay is more renowned for its serene waters and maritime history, a growing community of K-Coast surf enthusiasts has uncovered its hidden gem – the perfect playground for wave riders. All is possible with the help of the incredible Thomas Heath and Whistlin’ Dixie.
With gnarly man-made coastal conditions and a picturesque backdrop, this unexpected surfing destination is perfect for riders of all ages.
Featured: The rider on the top cover is Maddy Beatson (@maddy.beatson36), the first-ever K-Coast Cape Charles-sponsored surfer.
This is what K-Coast said about her, “Maddy and her whole family are such a joy and so helpful when they are in town from the OBX. Maddy is a complete athlete with an amazing attitude and outlook on life. She exudes sportswomanship and what it means to be a K-Coast rider. She is polite and energetic, considerate, determined and stoked! We officially welcome you into our K-Coast family”.
A special thanks to my brother Spencer Travis who has turned K-Coast into the best shop in Cape Charles, and who has become our Surf Rider Ambassador. This event could not happen without him.
Surf the Bay!
