About OceanAir Sports
OceanAir Sports is a specialist wind and watersports shop on Cape Hatteras, positioned at the north end of Avon where consistent Atlantic winds and the shallow, flat waters of the Pamlico Sound create ideal conditions for kiteboarding, windsurfing, and wing foiling. The facility sits directly on the sound, giving students and rental customers immediate access to a beginner-friendly training ground that progresses naturally as skills improve. It is the kind of purpose-built location that wind-sport enthusiasts travel hundreds of miles to ride.
Every member of the OceanAir staff is an active rider who uses the same gear they sell and rent, which means advice is grounded in real on-the-water experience rather than spec sheets. Certified instruction is available from quick two-hour introductions through to immersive multi-day camps for kiteboarding, windsurfing, and the fast-growing discipline of wing foiling. The rental inventory includes complete rigs from top brands like Duotone, Severne, North, Goya, Ezzy, and Mystic, alongside kayaks and stand-up paddleboards for guests who want a calmer outing on the sound.
The retail side of OceanAir is equally serious, stocking boards, sails, masts, booms, harnesses, fins, wetsuits, and accessories from the same premium manufacturers used in the rental fleet. The shop also hosts the annual OBX-WIND event each October, a week-long gathering that brings the East Coast wind-sport community together for racing, clinics, and demo sessions. For dedicated kiteboarders, windsurfers, and foilers looking for a specialist shop staffed by people who genuinely live the lifestyle, OceanAir Sports on Cape Hatteras is hard to beat.
