Kiteboard with pros at Canadian Hole

In just about 20 years, kiteboarding (or kitesurfing) has grown from an experimental trip on the water to an Olympic sport for 2016. From ideal wind conditions and miles and miles of flat, open water to a resort that was designed specifically for kiteboarders, North Carolina’s Outer Banks is one of the best places on the planet for kiteboarding. The very same consistent winds that brought the Wright Brothers for their historic “First Flight” allow kiteboarders to ride on nearly any day, oceanside or soundside. These conditions are so ideal that the area attracts visitors from as far as Canada and Europe, earning “Canadian Hole” (near Avon) its nickname. Canadian Hole gets rave reviews from kiteboarders and also offers amenities like a free, paved parking area and bath house that make it a great place for those who just want to watch or find other ways to enjoy this unique area.
