Spot Details
Home of REAL Watersports
This famous little island and its resulting flat water have been responsible for more advancement in the sport of kiting than most other places on the planet. Whether you are coming to Hatteras for the first time or have been here many times you can always drop by the slick and watch some of the best kiters in the sport throw down in the REAL Slider Park and Kickers. Working best on a SW wind the Slick is a great place to stop off during a sound side down-winder or drop down to from Salvo Day Use Area (SDA). You will be met by buttery flat water even if it's nuking 7m weather. Rip through the slick on a speed run, send a huge jump or perfect your latest wakestyle offering, this is the spot to push it!
