My girlfriend and I had a soundside intro lesson at the Whalehead club with Pat. We had a blast and…read morekiteboarding was a fun new activity for us annual Corolla visitors. In the past we had gone on horse tours, rented surfboards, and rode jet skis, but this was the first time we had seen kiteboarding lessons in Corolla! I'm no pro, but now have a good understanding of how to prep a kite, harness, lines, and get it up in the air safely. Pat's lesson was really informative, laid back, and beginner friendly. I would highly recommend Corolla Kiteboarding to the vacationer who is looking to try something new and different on the obx. Bring a camera and your friends to watch! If Pat and his crew ever come to Texas, I'll give them a lesson on how to ride a bull and then bbq it afterwards!

Safety is of an upmost concern, and I've always felt safe while learning from these guys. I'm excited to get back and get more water time for July 4th! Probably one of the coolest things I've ever done in the Outer Banks. If you want to have fun, check these guys out!

James stayed in touch each morning, planning lessons based on the wind. He even picked my friend up on the jet ski at our rented house for each lesson.

The staff has thought of everything that could happen and even provided waterproof phone covers. Pro-tip: fill out waivers and liability forms ahead of time as it's all electronic and you'll be able to get along much quicker.

This was kind of a wild experience! A bit overwhelming for me. Due to that I took my time and only…read morewandered around a portion of the entire store (or collection of different stores?). Maybe a good two time visit for those like me with sensory issues. There is so much! All sorts of beach-y items, touristy trinkets, souvenirs, clothing, footwear, fun randomness, gear and such that you might need for water adventuring (surfing? Scuba diving? IDK honestly! Not my area). AND kites! Stunning ones. Highly recommend this particular Kitty Hawk Kites. I know there are a few others among the Outer Banks. This one seems like the best or most epic store to wonder about. Bonus (for me): there is a bar upstairs! With a great view of the ocean.

Every morning, my mom and I would grab a cup of coffee and head down to the beach. It was a 4 minute walk from our air bnb and there was even a boardwalk to cross. You do have to cross the main highway though. Most people stop for pedestrians. Those that don't, are clearly not locals. The beach is beautiful to watch the sunrise. It is a great spot to collect shells, and see jelly fish bodies washed ashore, and crabs making tunnels in the sand. The stars at night are breathtaking, and like nothing I have viewed before and I have been to some country areas far away from city lights.

Unfortunately the staff was fairly stoic not willing to compromise on the prices at all. Their prices seem to be a bit higher than the rest we had seen in the area so we decided to choose another place to do a kite boarding. Well, you can't win them all but, we did try. Overalls, maybe not here we did do a kite boarding. What's a girl to do? All is fair on a road trip except when they're charging prices that are too high.
