Kitty Hawk Kites
Board shop, kite gear, and OBX adventure bookings all under one roof in Nags Head
About
This Kitty Hawk Kites store on South Croatan Highway is the Nags Head outpost of the well-known Outer Banks retail and outfitting chain, sitting along the Beach Road/Croatan Highway corridor that runs through the three northern beach towns. It's one of several Kitty Hawk Kites locations spread across the Outer Banks rather than a single flagship store, set up as both a shop and a booking point for outdoor activities.
What's in Stock
Inside you'll find the retail mix the chain is known for: beachwear, footwear, sunglasses, and hard goods for kiteboarding, surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking, along with kites for sale. The clothing and the watersports gear share the same floor, so a stop can cover sunglasses and a rash guard as easily as a paddleboard.
Booking a Session
Google lists this location as a tour operator and travel agency in addition to retail, which tracks with how Kitty Hawk Kites operates across its Outer Banks stores — booking lessons and rentals in kiteboarding, surfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking, plus the hang gliding instruction the company has long run on the northern Outer Banks.
Hours
The store keeps long daily hours: 9am to 10:30pm on weekdays, 8am to 10:30pm on weekends — useful for gearing up before an early water session or stopping in after the beach closes out the day.

Not happy with the booking process of the hang gliding adventure. Allowed to book online but then stated it would be canceled due to lack of staff. Online should be updated to reflect actual staff.
