About Kitty Hawk Surf Co
Kitty Hawk Surf Co is the retail and rental arm of the Kitty Hawk Kites family, operating a chain of well-stocked surf shops from Corolla at the northern tip of the Outer Banks down to Rodanthe on Hatteras Island. With multiple storefronts along the beach road, there is almost always a Kitty Hawk Surf Co location near wherever you are staying on the OBX. The shops carry an extensive selection of surfboards, bodyboards, skimboards, stand-up paddleboards, and kayaks for both sale and rental, making it one of the most comprehensive water sports retail operations on the Carolina coast.
Rentals are available by the hour, day, or week, with free delivery to your vacation rental for multi-day bookings on select gear. Surfboard and SUP rentals are the most popular, but fishing kayak rentals have gained a strong following with anglers looking to launch into the sounds and inlets. The staff at each location are experienced surfers and paddlers who can advise on current conditions, recommend the best break for your skill level, and help you choose the right board size. Wetsuit and rash guard rentals are available for cooler-water sessions.
Kitty Hawk Surf Co also runs a robust surf lesson program, with group and private instruction for beginners at gentle, sandy-bottom beach breaks. The combination of quality rental gear, knowledgeable staff, and multiple convenient locations makes them a default choice for visitors who want to spend their Outer Banks vacation in or on the water. Whether you are a first-time surfer, an experienced paddler, or a family looking to outfit everyone for a week of beach activities, Kitty Hawk Surf Co has the gear and the expertise.
