Last week, while surfing the internet, I discovered Best Odyssey Expedition's first kiteboarding film. If you recall, the Best Odyssey Expedition is a "radical and unique Yacht Share sailing concept designed specifically for remote kitesurfing, surfing, diving, and spearfishing exploration". Even more, its the first and only dedicated kiteboarding sailing expedition on the planet.

Admittedly, after watching the film, I was a bit intrigued by kiteboarding. So, when the editors at OutdoorsNewswire posted an article about the best kiteboarding destination in the United States, I was delighted to learn more about the sport.

Curious about kiteboarding? Watch The Best Odyssey Expedition's film here.

HOOD RIVER, OREGON

The Columbia River Gorge is practically the Mecca of windsports, and Hood River is right in the thick of it. Kiteboarding in particular is synonymous with the Hood -- some of the first kiteboards in the world popped up on the Columbia. But there may be trouble brewing -- landslides from last winter have changed the formation of the town's riverfront, and it could be the kiteboarders who get the worst of it.

BANDON, OREGON

The Bandon Dunes golf course is one of the finest in the world, but the best action takes place at the base of the cliffs, on Whiskey Beach. Northwest winds stay consistent throughout the spring and summer. You don't have to schlep any gear, because all beaches in Oregon are open to the public, and you're allowed to drive on the sand. The golf course may be crowded, but the water isn't.

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, TEXAS

Spring break! Wooo! Spring break! That'll always be the catch phrase in South Padre, but the wind blows here year-round. Bigger waves are available on the Gulf side of this skinny island, but the mud flats offer butter-smooth water that makes for great turns at high speeds. Go in the offseason to get in some solitary runs, or go in the spring if you like to mix in parties aplenty.
