World class site opens to public.
Pamlico Sound has some of the best kiteboarding conditions in the world, and one of the favorite put in spots is Kite Point just south of Buxton. The new site is part of a 2013 Cape Hatteras National Seashore expanded public use plan. Joy Crist, writing for the Island Free Press has the story.
“A small ribbon cutting ceremony that was held on Wednesday, May 1, marked the official opening of the new soundside parking area at Kite Point, a popular watersports destination just north of Buxton.
National Parks of Eastern N.C. Superintendent David Hallac, County Commissioner Danny Couch, REAL Watersports Co-Founder Trip Forman, and Earl Fountain from the Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative participated in the event. A couple of members of the kiteboarding community also lent a hand with the cut, including Kevin Langeree from the Netherlands, who is considered to be one of the best kiteboarders in the world.”
