Kite Point / Hatteras kitesurf and wingfoil spot
United States · Caroline du Nord
Overview
Kite Point is a soundside spot adjacent to Canadian Hole, specifically dedicated to kitesurfers. The separation from Canadian Hole helps reduce conflicts between kitesurfers and windsurfers. Conditions are identical — ultra-shallow Pamlico Sound with perfect flat water. It is one of the best spots in the world for beginners thanks to the shallow water that makes it easy to stand up.
