Kiteboarding Cape Hatteras

Experience Hatteras Winds!
Cape Hatteras is known around the world as the land of kiteboarding downwinders. Seventy miles of unlimited access to the water, both soundside and oceanside, allow riders to pick and choose their perfect-length run. The most exciting and thrilling new water sport, kiteboarding, is guaranteed to get your heart pounding, yet it is easy enough for almost anyone to learn.

Kiteboarding Hatteras is a full-on experience that won’t disappoint you. The lay-out of the Cape creates prime conditions for kitesurfers of all abilities that come to harness the power of the prevailing South Westerly wind. The Outer Banks is a large area where the water is smooth and shallow – an ideal place to learn and the perfect spot to practice your tricks. Here you will find miles and miles of waist deep water.

Kiteboarding Hot Spots

Kiteboarding Hot Spots
Kite Point- Just past the renown Canadian Hole, this is a good place to check out when first in Cape Hatteras kiteboarding. There you will meet other kiters with useful information. The shallow waters and steady winds make for a great spot for beginners and advanced riders.
Salvo Day Launch- The water is shallow enough that you can touch the bottom and the shore is a slightly protected cove, which reduces some of the chop.  

Frisco/ Hatteras Walkover- For those of you that love downwinders this is a great place to start. For a complete of great downwinders and different difficulty levels click here.
