If you can stay upwind, that's our minimum. From upwind, to advanced riding, we can coach all levels of riders. Guests think because the camps feature world champions, that you need to be an amazing rider to join the trips. Not at all. Most riders join to improve their base technique with goals of adding a little more hang time and control to their airs, or maybe try their first board off or dark slide. The pros are there to help spot your weaknesses and make you a better kiter. It takes the eye of a champion to be able to coach all levels of kiters.

We are professional kite coaches that work exclusively with the world best riders providing kite camps and one on one personalized coaching . Every camp features a professional rider who is internationally recognized as one of the premier kite boarders in the world, as well an excellent coach.
