VIDEO: Flooded ditch provides surf fun for instructors

CAROLINA BEACH, NC (WWAY) — With it being so wet lately, some people are trying to have a little fun in the rain.

Kevin Murphy with Odysea Surf School in Carolina Beach posted a video of him and another surf instructor doing just that Monday.

In the video, you can see Murphy “teaching” a surf lesson to a “student”, Jacob Duval, in a flooded ditch next to the office located on North Lake Park Boulevard.

Murphy said it happened after they got stuck at the office because of heavy rain. They were out on the beach laying down 2,500 square feet of beach flooring, to make the beach more handicap accessible, but were forced to head back to the office because of the weather.

According to the National Weather Service, this July will go down as one of the wettest in history.
