The Outer Banks 2009 Official Travel Guide - (Page 52) OUTER BANKS ADVENTURES Kite Boarding and Windsurfing: The Outer Banks has been dubbed the “Kite Boarding and Windsurfing Capital of the East Coast” because of the steady and consistent winds, temperate weather, shallow sound waters and rolling ocean waves all of which provide great opportunities throughout most of the year. Outfitters in the area offer lessons, clinics, equipment rental and purchase. Shelling: Our beaches are perfect for shelling and beach combing. The best times to look for shells are after a high tide, after a storm, in the morning and during the winter months. Water Activities: The Outer Banks is made up of 409 square miles of water. This makes the area perfect for a variety of water activities including jet skiing, ocean and sound kayaking, diving, surfing, parasailing, wind surfing, kite surfing, kite boarding, skim boarding, sailing, boating and, of course, swimming. 52
