    A relatively new establishment out in Rodanthe. This location was built specifically to cater to the kiteboarding tourists. Half of the shop is for kiteboarding, the other half is for toys (beach toys and single line kites), souvenirs, and women's clothing. The staff were all friendly and helpful when approached. The good winds restaurant is on the 2nd floor in the same building. There's a "Good Life" brand shop and a coffee shop attached as well on the same floor at the main store. Outside they have access to the lesson and rental storefront. It's a small concrete basement/cave on the back corner of the building. A boon to kiters, you'll find compressed air hoses lining the prep and launch areas. Not so great though, the compressed air system has a bit of a leak (or it's letting too much condensation in) and water is being sprayed with the air. Not good for your kite bladders. Compared to REAL Watersports, just down the street, the vibe here a bit more laid back. The employees don't all have matching outfits. Also they let all kiters come and use their facilities. REAL, you have to take a lesson there in order to use their launch/land area.

    The lesson started with some time learning about the gear and technique and then we quickly transitioned to the water.

    I reserved equipment online 2 days before our planned arrival with no indication there would be any…read moreproblems. The morning of our check in I received a phone call telling me that the equipment I had already paid for was not available, which left me no time to make alternate arrangements. The employee who contacted me was incredibly rude, and offered no apology. She seemed to think she was doing me a favor by offering a refund and was argumentative. A simple I'm sorry would have been appreciated. Not a place I'd recommend doing business with.

    ** AVOID THIS COMPANY ** If possible, I'd give ZERO stars…read more I rented a beach wheelchair for my father and aunt. Had it delivered to our hotel and when the delivery person showed up, they had no information on where or who it was to be delivered to. During the week we had it, we locked it up in a public area of the hotel (as instructed by the rental company) and when the delivery goons came to pick it up, they cut my $80 bike chain lock to retrieve it. Never called me (the company had my cell number) and never checked with the hotel front desk or asked them to call our room (the hotel is small and they knew we were the only ones renting a beach wheelchair). What's worse, however, is the delivery goons lied about who cut the lock, blaming it on the hotel maintenance staff. Fact is, they never even spoke with the hotel maintenance staff. But the coup de grâce was when I spoke with Nicole, the manager at Moneysworth Beach Rentals - an oxymoron if ever there was one. She was rude and attempted to blame me for locking up the wheelchair. She took ZERO responsibility and pointed the finger at me, the hotel maintenance team and the hotel management team. She contradicted herself repeatedly about their delivery person trying to reach me while in her next breath telling me they don't share customer contact info with their delivery people. I had rented the same equipment from them for two years prior but this will be the last time I will ever do business with them. **AVOID THIS COMPANY ** PS and by the way, the manager of the Surf Side Hotel felt so bad about our negative experience with Nicole and Moneysworth that she comped us super late checkout (5 PM) for the afternoon. Now THAT is customer appreciation and they will have my business each and every time I visit OBX for vacations.
