NORTH CAROLINA'S OUTER BANKS AWAIT YOU...
If you are interested in learning how to kiteboard or are looking for more detailed instruction, this trip is for you. The Pamilico Sound is a large shallow body of water that separates the mainland from the Outer Banks. With average wind speeds of 15-25 mph and waist deep water, this is a great place to learn. The water is warm, the bottom is shallow, the surface is smooth, and the view is spectacular.

LANDBOARDS FROM HQ
In the summer there's kitesurfing. When the snow flies, there's snowkiting. But don't forget landboarding. It's just as thrilling, and works almost any time of year!
Check out our DISCOUNTED LANDBOARDS.

Head onshore to the deck at Rose's and fill up on free hot dogs and cocoa. And don't forget to bring the kids- they can make their own free kite inside Rose's.

SNOWKITE PACKAGE
If you want to snowkite, any old snowboard or skis will work. But if you want to take it to the next level, you're going to want a board custom shaped for shredding with a kite. Liquid Force has introduced the Alliance. Regular snowboards are great on the slopes and good for kiting, but the Alliance is killer behind a kite and still very good for downhill. We've paired it with a new 2010 Envy, which is equally at home in the snow as in the water.
BE THE ENVY of your friends and go ride all winter with no lift tickets!

BOOK YOUR SNOWKITING
LESSON OR CAMP NOW!
When our lakes freeze over, we don't put away our kites- we just swap our kiteboards for snowboards, skis, or whatever winter gear we have kicking around the garage and keep riding! Winter is a great time to learn to ride, too. Since you don't have to worry about keeping a plane or battling waves, you can focus on your kite skills. By the time spring rolls around, kite control will be second nature and you'll standing up on your kiteboard in a fraction of the time.

Oh yeah, and we're also including a FREE HQ RUSH 300 KITE, just for that bit of extra fun.

Kiteboarding: The Bottom Line
King of the Great Lakes 2009 - Results and Photos
|
This year's King of the Great Lakes was truly epic, with three straight days of rideable wind and top riders from all over. We were able to complete the freestyle competition on the very first day, which allowed us to hold the first ever course racing competition in Michigan on the second day. Sunday brought not only wind but waves, and everyone moved from the shelter of the pierheads to the open lake to show off their wave riding skills.
The only things we didn't get to were our no-wind back-up activities, but no one seemed to mind! Three full days of good wind, good riding, good friends, and good food from Captain Jack's on the beach left us all tired but stoked for next year's event. Plan on being there with us!
