Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Review some commonly asked questions so you know before you go.

What is a YuJet electric surfboard? +

A YuJet is a high-powered, battery-operated surfboard that uses jet propulsion to glide over the water—no waves, paddles, or wind required. It’s like surfing meets jet skiing!

Where are E-Surf lessons offered? +

E-Surf lessons are available at the Kitty Hawk Kites Kiteboarding Center in Rodanthe, NC (Waves Village, MP 40).

Do I need surfing experience to ride a YuJet? +

Nope! The YuJet is designed for all skill levels. Most riders are up and cruising within minutes—even complete beginners.

How fast can the YuJet go? +

YuJet boards can reach speeds of up to 24 MPH, and the wireless remote lets you control your speed at all times.

Is it safe for kids or older adults? +

Yes! Riders as young as 12 (with supervision) and active adults of all ages can enjoy it. It’s low-impact, and you’ll get a full safety briefing and personal instruction before your ride.

What’s included in my rental? +

Your session includes the YuJet board, wireless remote, life jacket, and personal instruction from a trained team member. All you need to bring is a swimsuit and a sense of adventure!

Are there any weight restrictions? +

Yes. The recommended weight limit for the YuJet electric surfboard is up to 250 pounds to ensure optimal performance and ride stability. Riders above that weight may experience reduced speed or balance.

Can I book for a group? +

Yes! Group sessions and back-to-back rentals are available. It’s a great experience for families, birthday parties, or adventurous friend groups.

What should I know before booking? +
  • Waivers are required for all participants.
  • Must be able to swim.
Can I buy a YuJet board after trying it? +

Yes, you can! We’re the exclusive Outer Banks dealer for YuJet electric surfboards. Ask us about purchase options and packages after your ride.

Reservations Policy

Adventure Reservations Policies

We try to be as flexible as we possibly can to make your experience great, but please be mindful that we do have some policies that should be reviewed.

Read Policy

Reservations Policy

Adventure Reservations Policies

Our activities tend to fill up, so we encourage you to make your reservation early, especially if you plan to come in June, July, August, September, or during a holiday. While walk-ins are welcome, there is no guarantee that space will be available without a reservation.

Payment

Full payment is required to book your reservation. Kitty Hawk Kites does not hold spots without payment. Your card will be charged when you click “Accept” on the confirmation page. We accept Visa, Master Card, American Express, and Discover. If you want to pay by cash or gift card, you must make your reservation at one of our retail stores or activity sites. If you are unsure of where the nearest reservations facility is, please call or text 252-251-4314.
Prices are subject to change, so confirm the rates at time of reservation.

Weather Related Cancellations and Refunds

Weather changes frequently and unexpectedly in coastal areas, and many weather forecasts are inaccurate. Due to these factors, weather related cancellations will likely not occur until very close to time of the scheduled reservation. Should Kitty Hawk Kites cancel your scheduled activity due to unsafe weather conditions, you will be offered the chance to reschedule your activity or Kitty Hawk Kites can either issue you a **wind check** (for Hang Gliding, Paragliding, Kayaking, Kiteboarding, Paddleboarding and Surfing) or provide you with a refund for the portion of the activity you were unable to complete.

For instance, in the case of Demo and Beginner Dune Hang Gliding Lessons the first portion (“Ground School”) of your lesson will not be cancelled and is non-refundable within 48 hours. The ground school is pro-rated at $39 per student.
Note: if you were booked on one of our packages, and part of your activities are cancelled due to weather, and you opt for a refund, you will be charged regular price for the activities you completed.

Customer Related Cancellations & Rescheduling

Should the purchasing customer request a refund, Kitty Hawk Kites will provide a full refund for any request that is made at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled activity. No refunds will be given for customer cancellations made within the 48 hours before the scheduled activity. If the reservation is made within the 48 hours before the activity time, the reservation is non-refundable at the time of the booking.

Fishing Trips scheduled on the Carolina Blue and the Southern Run require a weeks notice to cancel for a full refund.  Any cancellations made within a week of your fishing trip will be charged full cost of the trip.

Reschedules

Customers may request to reschedule or wind check their scheduled activity to a future time or date at any time up until the day preceding their scheduled activity. Same day rescheduling shall not be permitted.

Late Arrivals & No Show Policy

NO REFUNDS or reschedules will be given if you fail to show up for your activity. Please contact Kitty Hawk Kites 24 hours prior to your scheduled activity if you need to reschedule.

Waivers

For activities that require a liability waiver to be completed, each participant of that activity must complete a waiver to participate in that activity. Minor participants (anyone under 18 years old) must have their waiver completed by their parent or legal guardian in order for the minor participant to take part in the scheduled activity. If you have any questions concerning whether the scheduled activity requires a waiver or how to obtain a waiver for a minor not traveling with their parent or legal guardian, please call 1-877-FLY-THIS to speak to a Kitty Hawk Kites reservations associate.

**Wind Checks**

A wind check is a non expiring voucher which allows you to schedule your activity (Hang Gliding, Paragliding, Kayaking, Kiteboarding, Paddleboarding and Surfing) for a future date if you are unable to complete your scheduled activity and cannot reschedule during your stay on the Outer Banks. Wind checks do not have to be used by the person to whom they were issued – so don’t lose them. Kitty Hawk Kites is not responsible for lost or stolen wind checks. If you have a wind check and would like to schedule your activity, simply call reservations at 1-877-FLY-THIS and them know you are redeeming a wind check to begin the scheduling process.

Accessibility

We are committed to making our activities as accessible as possible. While some activities may have limitations, we’re happy to work with you to explore accommodations. For assistance or questions, please contact us at (252) 441-4124.
