Kiteboarding

Waves Village Watersports Resort is the premier kiteboarding resort in North America. It is home to the Kitty Hawk Kites Kiteboarding School and Pro Shop. The school and resort are designed around access to the Pamlico Sound – the best kiteboarding area on the Outer Banks and one of the premier kiting sites in the world.

We specialize in teaching all skill levels how to kiteboard, and there is ample setup space and a rental center where you can rent kiteboarding equipment and demo a wide selection of gear if you’re looking to add to your quiver or get started in the sport. Our professional staff will ensure that you get the support that you need to best enjoy your kiting experience whether you’re just getting started or already and experienced kiteboarder. Kitty Hawk Kites does not charge a launching fee from the Waves Village Resort access.
