Clean Beaches = Healthy Businesses



The Kitty Hawk Kayak & Surf School is a locally owned business that depends on healthy estuarine and ocean ecosystems to teach surf lessons and lead kayak tours for our cool customers on their vacations. Just like you guys we love playing in the amazing natural environments of the Outer Banks; our passion and your reason for visiting.

The recent lifting of the federal moratorium on offshore oil drilling has us a bit nervous in light of the horrible environmental catastrophe plaguing the businesses, livelihoods and ecosystems of the Gulf Coast. As such, please join us on June 26th at 11 AM at the Bonnet Street beach access to participate in the "Hands Across the Sands" event, protesting offshore oil drilling in North Carolina. This event is brought to you by the Sierra Club and the Outer Banks Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. This very same protest led Florida to ban off-shore oil drilling in their state before the recent debacle in the Gulf Coast. With your help we can do the same in North Carolina. Please invite your friends, families and neighbors to join us in solidarity opposition to oil oil drilling. This can help send a clear message of opposition to an industry that places the people, places, wildlife and businesses in jeopardy.

Join us on June 26th to voice your opposition to off-shore oil drilling in North Carolina and help us preserve the Outer Banks natural wonders for generations to come.
