Kitesurfing in United States

What’s not to like about Florida, especially for a kiteboarder? This sun drenched tip of North America’s East coast offers wind almost all year around, waves in places like Jupiter and flat water around the Keys just to name a few. If you’re planning a holiday to Miami, bring your kites and choose from a number of nearby spots.

Windy: Nov – Mar

Maui is one of the islands of Hawaii; the American holiday destination and surf paradise in the North Pacific. Everybody knows that Maui is the classic surf mecca, and thus focus is on wave riding. But this island suits all types of riders and offers a lot of varied conditions. Wind is served all year but best months are during the summer. Being the home of several kite brands, and pioneers of the sport one can imagine the local community is strong here. Read up on the local rules and be careful of car/beach theft.

North Carolina, and most noticeably Cape Hatteras and Outer Banks has to be counted amongst the top kitesurfing spots in the world. This is by far the best region on the US East coast to get your fix, almost any time of the year. Vast waist deep areas with flat water are mixed with wave spots and everything between and in the summer no wetsuit is needed. Most months deliver over 20 rideable days, but avoid the winter months if the cold doesn’t attract.

Windy: Year-round

The gulf-facing coast of Texas, around Corpus Christi sees more windy days than any other place mainland US. The hot climate creates thermal wind almost all year long, with peak performance over spring and summer.

Windy: Year-round

Kitesurfing the coast of Oregon and California is mainly a summer activity thanks to the thermal winds that time of the year. Wave surfing is obviously big, but you’ll also find more sheltered spots along the coast, and you can even kite under the Golden Gate. How’s that for a holiday memory!?
