Country guide
Kitesurfing in United States: the guide
The US is less one destination than a set of regional scenes, each with its own water, wind and season. Because the country is so large, this guide doesn't try to summarise it — it shows the spots currently listed in the KSO database, grouped by region, so you can focus on the area you're actually travelling to.
US listed spots are spread across the country's coasts and waters. Use the region grouping below to find the area you're travelling to and open a spot guide for the local detail.
Conditions vary enormously by region. The sections below only highlight a level or water type where the spot data supports it — don't assume one region is like another.
Plan around a single region. Use the Kite Stays and Trusted Network sections to find a base and schools near the listed spots, and the tools to prepare for that area's conditions.
