Adventure Tips

Always Wear Your Lifejacket

Safety is paramount when paddleboarding; make sure your lifejacket fits securely before heading out.

Check Tide and Weather Conditions

Tides and winds can change quickly around Hatteras Island; plan your paddling times accordingly to avoid rough waters.

Use the Ankle Leash

Attaching the leash to your ankle prevents losing your board if you fall into the water, essential for ocean-side paddling.

Start in Calm Waters

If new to paddleboarding, begin in the soundside areas which offer calmer water and easier balance.
