Kiteboarding Lesson-Excursion: Get away from it all and experience the kiteboarding lifestyle. When you arrive, we will have one of our custom skiffs loaded up with gear suited for the wind conditions and your experience level, just bring swimwear and some snorkel gear (in case we have to wait for wind). Half the fun is in getting there, as we drive you through the Marine Sanctuary to Happy Island, which provides a secluded "sea grass" sandbar and ample space to practice your kiting and boarding skills.

Control of a power kite is the key to success.  You will begin your training in the shallows behind the reef where you can comfortably focus on kite control, body dragging, and safety techniques. Once you can comfortably control a fully powered kite you are ready for your first ride.  You will be working on water starting and controlling the power in the kite and on the board. The last step to becoming a kiteboarder is becoming free of the boat, and that means riding upwind. Full power and lots of carving are the key to success and we will hook you up with the tools and instruction to do both!
