1-Person Private Surf Lesson

Ride The Wind Surf Shop

If you have never surfed before, or you have surfed but are still not able to catch waves on your own, this lesson is a great option for you. Before getting in the water we will teach you the proper pop-up technique and other critical surfing techniques such as paddling, wave selection, and safety. The instructor will be in the water by your side the entire lesson, guiding you and pushing you into waves.

Private Cruises

Country Girl Charters

Country Girl is available for private charter in the evenings. This is the perfect opportunity to explore the Roanoke, Croatan and Pamlico sounds and to catch a sunset with your friends and family. Country Girl is Coast Guard licensed to hold 27 passengers, and it’s roomy enough so that all 27 will be comfortable both in the salon and on the decks. Bring your own food and drink and prepare for an enjoyable voyage observing the local birds and wildlife and beautiful soundside scenery away from the hustle and bustle on land. 

Bottom Fishing Charters

Country Girl Charters

Join them for a bottom fishing trip, one of the most popular styles of Outer Banks fishing, on the Country Girl. In water running 60 to 300 feet deep, you find edible fish such as black sea bass, triggerfish, gray tile fish, bluefish, dolphin, amberjack and sharks. Unlike Gulf Stream trips in which you are responsible for chartering the entire boat, this trip allows you to purchase individual tickets. A maximum of 27 anglers travel 5 to 50 miles offshore and drop lines over rocky bottom and artificial reef.
