Outer Banks Kiteboarding
Kiteboarding is guaranteed to get your heart pounding no matter your skill level! Experts and beginners can hone their skills in the shallow waters of the Pamlico, Albemarle, and Currituck sounds. While experienced kiteboarders can head east and go extreme in the waves of the Atlantic. Both calm waters and challenging waves are available on the OBX.
