Adventure Tips

Check Weather and Tides

Plan your outings around calm winds and favorable tide levels for safer, smoother paddling in Kitty Hawk.

Use Provided Safety Gear

Always wear a life jacket and carry a whistle or signaling device while on kayaks or SUPs.

Protect Against Sun Exposure

Apply waterproof sunscreen and wear UV-protective clothing; sun reflection off water intensifies exposure.

Start in Calm Waters

If new to paddling, begin on the more sheltered Currituck Sound before venturing into the ocean side.
