Established in 2018, NYC Kiteboarding has grown into a thriving community of beginners, intermediate and advanced riders.
Whenever there is wind, people are kiting on the beaches of NY & NJ and share rides. Get on the WhatsApp group to join in.
Enjoy Kiteboarding in NY & NJ and be safe!
Note: any kiteboarding activity is at your own risk.
Every second Thursday of the month we organize kite drinks in Manhattan or Brooklyn.
Kite drinks are a great way to meet other NYC kiteboarders and organize trips to the NY & NJ beaches.
The official wind season is from March through December and the best months are April to November, but people kite whole year round.
Wind speed varies from 15 – 30 knots and is predominantly southerly in the main season and northerly during the winter.
Nine to 15 metre kites for the majority of kiteable days. Neoprene is useful throughout most of the year. In the summer we ride in boardshorts or a shorty as the water temp reaches 70°F and in the spring and early autumn a full 3/2 spring suit.
Daytime summer air temperatures peak at 26 – 32°C / 78 - 90°F. However, in the winter you’ll need full thick winter gear - it can get very cold.
After 8 years of unforgettable adventures with the London Kitesurfers Association and NYC Kiteboarding, the legendary Kenya Kite Trip continues. Join us in 2027!
