FOR KITE-BOARDING - For optimal kite-boarding, you need a beach where the prevailing winds are blowing onshore, side-shore, or some point between the two, according to the staff at the kiting supplier and school Air Support Kiteboarding (866-548-3263, kitecod.com) in West Dennis. In the summer, that means the Nantucket Sound beaches of Cape Cod. One good bet is West Dennis Beach, which has an area designated by the town for kite-boarding.
