Who

    Wind-NC is staffed by some of the most dedicated, stoked, cheerful, friendly, and knowledgeable windsurfers, standup paddlers, and skaters on Hatteras Island.

    Wind-NC was conceived during the winter of 2010, making it the freshest shop in town!

    When you call or visit, you'll meet Andy McKinney, Anne Kennedy, and Ken Ahrendt- The folks responsible for the "Lost In Hatteras" blog, and frequent contributors to Windsurfing Magazine, The New England Windsurfing Journal, Windsport Magazine, and Windsurfer International.

    When

    Wind-NC is open from 9 am - 6 pm*, every darned day of the week!**

    *That may change if the wind is howling or the waves are firing.

    **Except for the months of December, January, and February- during which we'll be checking emails and voicemails on occassion, but we cannot guarantee a response within any sort of reasonable timeframe, as it's our weekend. ;-)

    Where

    Wind-NC is located in lovely Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. We share a building with Hatteras Island Boardsports and Village Video, right in the middle of Avon, on the west side of the highway. If you get hungry while shopping, fret not- we're sandwiched between Oceana's Bistro and Nino's Pizza! How's that for having good neighbors?? Oh, and the Avon Pier is directly across the street- holding a halfway decent wave and a mini golf putt putt course if the waves are flat!

    Why

    Windsurfing, Standup Paddleboarding, and Skateboarding are the kinds of sports that can be practiced over the span of an entire lifetime, but they keep you young at heart and in great shape, no matter what your "true age" happens to be!

    If you've windsurfed before, you already know that it's pretty much the best sport in the world. It's a fact; you can't argue it. If you haven't tried windsurfing before, well, what the heck are you waiting for?! Give us a call, we'll be happy to get you out there- having the time of your life!

    Now that we've established how fun and rad windsurfing is, let's just go ahead and lump standup paddleboarding and skateboarding in the same category of awesomeness, because they are just as awesome.

Hatteras Windsurfing Guide

Hatteras Windsurfing Guide- Sound Launch- The Buxton Slick

If you want to work on some freestyle moves, the Buxton Slick is the place to be!  You can head down there in almost any wind direction, but it’s really best on a WSW to WNW.  Rig up a tiny freestyle fin, and be cautious of the shallow spots.  I usually recommend rigging up for [...]
