Where the Wright Brothers once flew, hang gliders from Nags Head-based Kitty Hawk Kites now soar from Jockey's Ridge on the Outer Banks. John Harris and partner Ralph Buxton began their business ten years ago even though many were skeptical of its success. Now, a decade later, Kitty Hawk Kites is the world's largest hang gliding school and kite retailer in the East.
