Learn Kiteboarding with Scratch Kiteboarding in Wilmington NC

So what is Kiteboarding? Kiteboarding is an exciting sport that is very similar to wakeboarding but instead of being pulled by a boat…you guessed it…you use a kite and a little help from Mother Nature!

Scratch kiteboarding is now offering a wide variety of Kiteboarding lessons from beginner to advanced. Our professional staff, latest kiteboarding equipment and “personalized” lesson plans makes us the best kiteboarding school in the Wilmington, NC area. Scratch’s Yuichi is a US Coast Guard Licensed Captain and all our instructors are CPR and First Aid certified.

Due to its unique challenges, kiteboarding requires proper knowledge about equipment and environmental conditions (wind speed, direction, tides, currents, high/low pressure systems, etc). Scratch Kiteboarding is dedicated to providing a lesson that suits your comfort and experience level. If you are just visiting Wilmington, NC or live in the area, we can help you learn how to safely fly a kite, ride a board on the water, and help you “on your way” to becoming a confident and safe kiteboarder!
