Fall Winds, Good Winds!

It's all we think about, it's all we hope for, that's right--WIND is here! Did you know that the fall typically has the BEST wind of the year? Our 2011 kiteboarding kites and boards are in. Rentals are available every day from 9-5, so try out some of the new stuff before you buy it. You can try as many kites and boards as you want--for the same price (no "per-kite" or "per-board" rates like the other guys).

If kiteboarding isn't your thing, or you'd just rather watch, head up to the top floor and watch from the decks of Good Winds Seafood & Wine Bar! Good Winds has instantly become a favorite of locals and tourists. With daily specials to suit any appetite and price range, it's hard to choose just one item! Don't forget--they've got more types of beer and wine than anyone on Hatteras Island.

Epic Conditions Continue..

It's rare to see in the summer, but we've an entire week of kiteable conditions on Hatteras Island! The wind has been cranking out of the southwest at ideal speeds (20-30 mph). The KHK Kiteboarding Resort, Waves Village (www.wavesvillage.com) has been packed! We're teaching more people than ever this summer, and are hooking our customers up with some sweet deals on new gear.

After a successful opening on the 4th of July, Good Winds Restaurant has been going strong. Thanks in part to windy conditions, patrons have been coming in to eat and check out the awesome views of kiteboarders and sunsets! Be sure to print your free coupon for a soup or salad off their web site: www.goodwindsrestaurant.com!

Our spring Hatteras trip gets extended!

Our spring Hatteras trip gets extended! The day before we were leaving our house in Avon we checked the forecast and the winds looked very good for the day we were to leave. Being new to kiting we thought we would stay and keep building on our kiting skills for just one more day. We needed to buy another kite board along with some other gear so we headed off to Kitty Hawk Kites Resort in Waves Village and this friendly and very knowledgeable sales guy Will sold us some goods! He then went on to tell us all about the condo units that are available for rent by the day, week, partial week, etc, right there at Kitty Hawk Kites. So, he hooked us up with Marcus, Waves Village Manager, who was very professional and accommodating, and he showed us a few different units to choose from. We found one we liked so we booked a unit in the complex for one night. Well, we loved it so much, after a few phone calls to rearrange things back home, we decided to stay for a few more days. During our stay, the staff at Kitty Hawk Kites Resort was extremely helpful and accommodating, in particular, the Kite School Manager A.J. He gave us some very helpful kiting tips, helped and taught us how to land and launch our kites properly, he came out on his jet ski to check on us throughout the day. When our day was done and we were all exhausted from kiting, we would head up to our awesome 'ocean view' condo, grab a beer, jump in the hot tub, and watch the Staff head out on their kites and put on a real show! Man, can they kite! Now, thanks to our good friend A.J., we are all going home very happy and confident kiters!

See you all next spring:)

Play Hard at Kitty Hawk Kites Kiteboarding, Waves Village Resort!!

If "Work Hard, Play Hard" is your motto, then it's time to play! The wind is here to stay for a while. It's currently blowing SSW at 20 mph on average and not letting up in the foreseeable future. We are also experiencing record temperature highs for the season if your into that sort of thing. There's not a cloud in the sky, so meet us down here for a kite session, you won't regret it. If you're not into kite boarding, we have plenty of other water sports to choose from. See you out on the water.

Wednesday Demo Day

During the summertime, be sure to come by for Wednesday Demo Day at Waves Village Kiteboarding Resort! We'll have free kiteboarding gear rentals from 9-5, kid's day from 4-7, and movie night after the sun sets!

Our new restaurant is almost in place so be sure to check that out in the summer! Any suggestions on draft beer we should have on tap..?

Open for 2010

Kitty Hawk Kites Kiteboarding Resort is opening its kiteboarding school for the 2010 season! We have had a great week of warm sunshine and the water temps are in the low 50's. The spring winds are blowing almost everyday with wind conditions good for kiteboarding 5 out of 7 days!

Give us a call if you need anything: 252-987-2297 ext. 103

Great Wind, Great Resort!

Besides the chilly weather, it's an awesome day for a downwinder! Looks like a couple of guys from the shop are going out to kiteboard later--keep an eye out for us if you're in the area... One of the best parts about the Outer Banks (and Hatteras Island) is that there are more "kiteable" days here than almost anywhere. If you haven't seen pictures of our new resort go to www.wavesvillage.com for a tour of our luxury condos.

Loads of wind!

Probably a little too much wind today...It's blowing straight west at 40+ mph. If you're in the area, it's quite a sight to see. Highway 12 is closed north of Rodanthe because of sound water overwash (I guess that's better than ocean overwash..?). Spring will be here before we know it!

Book Now Ride Later

Even though it is a little cold now. Be sure and check out the deal we are running on Kiteboarding Lessons. If you book and pay for your lesson before March 1st you can receive $50 off. Call for details.
