Yes if you want to learn a wind sport rather than rent a kayak - nobody else here teaches kite and wing. Skip it if you want a casual hour on flat water; start with a paddle outfit instead.

Hampton Watersports

Full-service wind and wave shop on County Road 39, formerly trading as Windsurfing Hamptons and Kiteboarding Hamptons. Sells, repairs and rents gear and teaches windsurfing, kiteboarding, wing foiling, e-foiling and stand-up paddle - the only place on the East End teaching all five. Rental locations on Peconic Bay at Cold Spring Road and at Napeague; the shop publishes its own guide to local launches and when each is worth the drive.
