Iconic Outer Banks Surf Shop in Buxton, NC
For nearly a half-century, Natural Art has been a Hatteras Island fixture. This iconic Outer Banks surf shop in Buxton, NC was opened in 1977 by legendary surfboard shaper Scott Busbey and his wife, Carol. Few shops anywhere can claim that kind of history, and fewer still have earned it by staying true to the craft and the community through almost 50 seasons of surf. Scott's lifelong dedication to hand shaping has produced thousands of custom boards under his In the Eye label that have been ridden up and down the East Coast, and his contributions to the sport earned him a place in the East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame in 2018. Natural Art is not just a local landmark, it is a genuine piece of surfing history on the Outer Banks.
Alongside Scott's custom In the Eye surfboards, Carol brings her own creative touch to the shop, hand making original clothing and apparel that reflects the authentic spirit of Hatteras Island. Natural Art also carries original t-shirt designs that have become beloved souvenirs for the generations of visitors who have walked through the door. Whether you are a dedicated surfer looking for a board shaped by one of the East Coast's finest, or simply soaking in the culture of one of the OBX's most storied shops, Natural Art is worth the trip to Buxton.
