Stormboarding specializes in exciting, stand up watersports: stand up paddleboarding, windsurfing and kitesurfing with professional, fun and effective instruction and top of the line gear all in an incredibly beautiful setting. We also feature custom lake adventures with the above sports plus options to just cruise and explore the lake, kayak or explore shipwrecks without getting wet through the eyes of a remotely operated camera.
We are one of the first and longest-running certified and insured snowkiting schools in the US, the only kitesurfing/windsurfing school in Vermont/Upstate NY and now we are excited to say we are one of the first to bring stand up paddleboarding to our area.

We are all ready with excellent gear to help you maximize your time on the snow or water with kite gear from Peter Lynn, Ozone, HQ, Slingshot, Litewave and Dakine, stand up paddle gear from Oxbow and Bic and windsurfing gear from Chinook, Starboard, Bic, Gaastra, Aerotech, Exocet and Fiberspar. We aim to help you make a gear decision that will give you the most fun in a way that works with your style and time. For used gear, we always have some available in excellent condition and at incredible prices. Our goal is to turn over our school gear frequently giving you a chance to save some money on lightly used equipment while keeping our students on virtually new gear all the time.
