Learn Kiteboarding During Your Vacation

Kiteboarding or kitesurfing is a thrilling watersport to enjoy while vacationing in your Avon vacation rental or Rodanthe vacation rental home. Be sure to take advantage of the kiteboarding lessons and camps offered on Hatteras Island. It is easy for almost anyone to learn!

In this article you will what kiteboarding is, why it is an ideal activity at the Outer Banks, and where to find qualified instructors.

What is Kiteboarding?

The wind is the power source for kiteboarding. The rider stands on the board and uses the harness and foot straps to control their direction, speed, and, for experienced kiteboarders, aerial tricks. The large kite attached to the board catches the wind for propulsion.

Different sizes of kites can be used in different wind speeds. The rider is required to maintain control of the kite and the board simultaneously. The sport combines a variety of activities including wakeboarding, snowboarding, skateboarding, and waterskiing. You can learn more about the basics of kiteboarding by taking lessons while you are on vacation in an Avon vacation rental or a Rodanthe vacation rental.
