If you want the true “surf shop” vibe and experience then definitely spend some time with these guys. I took two kite lessons with them and wholeheartedly recommend their low key but thoughtful approach catered to your needs.They definitely get to know you and you will leave the shop smiling and wishing you could spend more time there. A rarity these days.

Wholeheartedly recommend this place for renting wing / foil equipment, for lessons, or just to meet the people working there. I was able to rent a foil board + wing for the day for much less $ than expected, and then go into the water right from their backyard. The owner also let me switch wings and boards throughout the day as I learned to use them, while giving me some great pointers on how to improve.

Great family run business! I have never windsurfed before and was surfing within the hour. Barton is a great teacher that will get you off on the right track.

These folks really know how to make you feel you are in the best hands, and that’s because you are. Really appreciate how they taught my teenage son to kite sail, he can’t wait to go back!

Family run business that goes the extra mile for their customers. I took lessons from Reider on my last day in the OBX. He is an encouraging and knowledgeable instructor.

Best shop in Cape Hatteras! Very experienced and personable team that makes for a great experience all around! I've gotten three lessons and purchased all my Kiteboarding gear from here over the years, and I won't go anywhere else!

The most experienced instructors around! Whether it's surfing, windsurfing or kiteboarding lessons these guys progress you at your own pace with professional knowledge and pure love for the sports. Also the Sail Shop is a fun atmosphere to be apart of and where you are instantly accepted like family. Highly recommend!
