Kiteboarding

Elbow Beach is a popular spot if you're looking to catch some air kiteboarding (also called kitesurfing). Experienced kiteboarders can find gear at Island Winds, which also offers private and semi-private lessons. Newcomers to the sport should note that it can be extremely challenging and requires proper instruction. All kiteboarders should take extra precautions before and after storms.
