James stayed in touch each morning, planning lessons based on the wind. He even picked my friend up on the jet ski at our rented house for each lesson.

This was kind of a wild experience! A bit overwhelming for me. Due to that I took my time and only…read morewandered around a portion of the entire store (or collection of different stores?). Maybe a good two time visit for those like me with sensory issues. There is so much! All sorts of beach-y items, touristy trinkets, souvenirs, clothing, footwear, fun randomness, gear and such that you might need for water adventuring (surfing? Scuba diving? IDK honestly! Not my area). AND kites! Stunning ones. Highly recommend this particular Kitty Hawk Kites. I know there are a few others among the Outer Banks. This one seems like the best or most epic store to wonder about. Bonus (for me): there is a bar upstairs! With a great view of the ocean.

Dane was a fantastic kite board instructor. even though I've been trying to kite for 10 years he…read moregave me some super pointers that helped me progress much faster. He started out by packing up his jet ski and bringing me out to a small deserted stretch of beach to inflate the kite. then he demonstrated how to launch and do everything else in the proper fashion, and then Coach me as I practiced, following me around with the jet ski. He also rents kayaks and stand-up paddle boards and he has a paddle board sunset tour. Of the three lessons I've had in the past Dane was the best instructor of all of them. I highly recommend him.

The process of renting and paddling out was really easy, and the customer service was great.

We did not want to take a tour so after calling around we were directed to the Kitty Hawk Nags Head - Whalebone destination as it was where you could directly launch kayaks into the water. The people were incredibly friendly and very helpful. They got us set up quickly with two single kayaks and gave us directions. We headed into the sound, which was a bit wavy but not bad, and then into the salt marshes, which were incredibly cool and very calm. It was a wonderful way to spend an hour! $30 for an individual kayak felt very reasonable and we appreciated that we didn't have to transport the boats.
