Holden and Hunter Griffeth have been on surfboards since they were old enough to walk. Now the brothers want to share their passion and get others on a surfboard at the Topsail Island Surf School. Launched just this season, they bring surf lessons to you at your beach house. You’ll be catching waves before you can shout “Yewww!” Holden has surfed up and down the North Carolina coast and in Florida, Puerto Rico and Hawaii. He plans to surf in Bali, a surfer’s paradise known for its consistent waves and near perfect reef breaks. Reef breaks can occur in deep water where the presence of a reef causes the waves to break. This is a bit similar to how the sandbars off Topsail Island cause wave breaks, he says. | CONTINUE READING ONLINE
