Starting in a garage in 2006, owners Andy and his wife Marlys started Bellingham Kiteboarding as a kite school just blocks from Locust Beach in Bellingham, WA. Andy and Marlys had taught kiteboard lessons for years in the Bay area and upon returning from college to Bellingham, began exploring our local bay for the perfect kiteboarding access and working with authorities for launch and landing locations. With the growth of the sport and local kiteboarding community in the late 2000's they made the decision to move the store out of their garage to the current location where we are today, and Kite Paddle Surf was born! As a shop we pride ourselves with having employees that are experts in our sports. Some of our employees have come from pro kiteboarding backgrounds, while others have gone on to become the next kiteboarding pro level riders. The shop has grown to include surf and paddle board selections and accessories. We are excited to have the largest paddle board selection and the only surfboard selection north of Seattle.
