Wow, what a great time. My two brothers and I brought our families to learn how to kiteboard. We stayed onsite (at the Turtle House) and could walk down to the docks for lessons. The weather was a little iffy some of the time but Rick and the guys were very communicative about when we could get out on the water and taught a broad range of ages (12 - 50) and skill levels. The house is very convenient to Avon’s main drag and is secluded enough you aren’t hearing traffic, etc. I’d recommend it for anyone interested in spending time on OBX or hoping to learn how to kiteboard.
I recently had three sessions with KCH and couldn't be more pleased with my experience. I spent time with Alex and James who took me via jetski or skiff out to wide open, waist deep spots. They were both excellent instructors able to assess my skill level and help me progress faster than I was expecting. During my last session I was confidently staying upwind and working on transitions.
I considered several other kiting companies and KCH offers the best combination of personalized attention, great location, and most reasonable pricing.
Thanks Christo, Alex and James, I had a great time and will return again soon.

If you are looking to learn how to Kite Surf or want a great getaway in the Outer Banks only choose Kite Club Hatteras. The instructors are top notch, very professional, and knowledgeable.
You immediately feel a home away from home when you are there everyone makes you feel like family from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart.
Whether hanging out on the dock or learning to kite surf you will not be disappointed! My partner and I have been camping on property and taking lessons from the talented Rick. We now will go no where else!
I made a tremendous amount of progress in just three days here, and it really comes down to the quality of the instruction.
My instructor, Alek, was incredibly patient and observant. In past experiences, I’ve found that many instructors tend to just bark orders assuming I would just “get it.”. Alek is the opposite—he was able to distill exactly what I needed to know into actionable steps. He focused on the specific nuances and "the why" behind the movements, which allowed me to actually take action and improve.
The team here truly takes care of their students and ensures you aren't just going through the motions. If you want instruction that actually clicks, I highly recommend KCH and Alek.
This camp offered an efficient and safe way to learn kiting. Rick and James, our highly competent instructors, started us in waist deep water away from the beach because it is safer than learning by the beach. As a beginner I especially enjoyed the 1:1 student instructor ratio and constant boat support. At age 60 I found kiting challenging however I felt inspired by the instructors and fellow camp participants that were nearly half my age. The accommodation was a newly renovated house with 1 and 2 bed rooms with joining bathrooms, common area, kitchen, two large decks and a swimming pool. Friendly locals, great coffee shops, fish restaurants and bars minutes away made this a true five star experience.
