What You Never Knew About Chase Stokes

Throughout the course of "Outer Banks," the Pogues spend an awful lot of time out on the water. Luckily, this was something Chase Stokes was accustomed to already. "I'm a water child. I grew up all along the eastern shore," he told Refinery29. And, just like John B., Stokes spent a majority of his childhood surfing.

In addition to riding waves on a surfboard, Stokes also knows how to drive a boat over them. In fact, he had a boater's license long before he had ever heard of "Outer Banks." "When we were in Charleston [where the show filmed,] I reached in my wallet and pulled out my boating license," he explained. "They were like 'Great, that makes everything a lot easier.'"

Even so, there was just one thing that was challenging about acting out on the water. "Learning to scuba dive, that was something I learned in a weekend in order to get the shots done," Stokes revealed to People. Hey, a weekend is still a lot more time than John B. had!
