SDA / Hatteras kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
United States · Caroline du Nord
Overview
SDA (Seventh Day Adventist) is a soundside spot located between the villages of Waves and Salvo on Hatteras Island. The name comes from a former Seventh Day Adventist community camp in the area. The spot provides access to Pamlico Sound with flat and shallow water. It's an intermediate spot as access can be a bit more complicated and the bottom features oyster banks. Popular with locals looking for a less crowded spot than the main village accesses.
