Hatteras Island Surf Shop is a great shop with tons of local flavor, offering a laid-back approach to life. It provides great windsurfing and kiteboarding instruction from people who can do it and know how to teach it in an encouraging way, suitable for all skill levels. The team is extremely accommodating, friendly, and helpful, offering refreshing, old-school customer service and honesty. They are flexible and invested in getting customers into the right gear for the conditions and their skill level, with a focus on fun and success. The shop has an easy-to-use rental site for surf boards, kiteboarding gear, and eFoils, with lots of gear and shirts for sale. The instruction is really good, often getting students up and riding or sailing within the first 15 minutes. The nearby bay is a perfect place to learn. Customers appreciate the team's attention, advice, and willingness to create a great day, with many planning return trips.
A great stop for the old school cool Hatteras island feel. Very small so not much merchandise but definitely a must stop!

Had a great experience during kitesurfing lessons. Jim took great care of my father and I. He made sure we were both comfortable with each new skill and made sure we knew how to use all the safety equipment. Well worth the 3 hour lesson!
