The Outer Banks is set to welcome the Bud Light Lime Surf Series to Jennette’s on this Saturday to kick of the OBX Labor Day weekend (9/1 – 9/3). Sweet, right?! It gets sweeter…

There are a whole bunch of pro surfers headed to the OBX for this event. We announced half of the lineup in a post a few weeks ago, and now the full lineup is set.

This innaugural Labor Day Cup marks the first time that the Bud Surf Series has ever held an event on the east coast.
