Make Waves in Hampton:

Try This Unique Water Adventure!

Summer is on the horizon—and so is your next great story. If you're headed to Hampton this May, be one of the first to experience the full summer season of Green Wave Watersports at Buckroe Beach!

Play 

Whether you're a thrill-seeker or just love being by the water, Green Wave offers a refreshing spin on beachside fun. Take flight (yes, really!) with an eFoil electric surfboard—an eco-friendly, electric-powered board that lets you glide above the water for a feeling like no other. No surfing experience? No worries. They offer beginner-friendly private or group lessons to get you soaring in no time.

Not quite ready to fly? You can also rent kayaks, paddleboards, umbrellas, and beach gear for a chill day on the coast with spectacular Chesapeake Bay views.

Beach equipment rentals available on-site at Buckroe Beach starting Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend.

Beat the heat - and the crowds - and book your eFoil Lesson, Paddle Board & Kayak Rentals now!

Couple relaxing on beach chairs under a beach tent with paddle boards beside them and beach in background.
