Each year, the most hardcore kiteboarders from around the world make their pilgrimage to Hatteras, N.C. for the Triple-S Invitational. Only a select few are invited to this private competition, with just two wild-card slots open for amateurs. There are no large cash prizes or huge crowds. The riders come for the sport and comraderie. To compete with and be judged by their peers. To push board sports to the next level.
Here, off this spit of land in the cradle of human flight, kiteboarding earns the respect it deserves. With consistent winds and surf on one side, and butter-flat water on the other, this small beach town is arguably the best in the world for surf, slicks and sliders.

Skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding. It’s all about the board. For these riders, kiting is boarding in its truest expression.
