LessonsKitesurfing (also known as kiteboarding) looks like an incredibly difficult sport, when in reality it has a relatively short learning curve. It can be however a dangerous sport if you don’t take lessons from a real pro, using quality equipment, who can teach you the essential safety procedures. Owned by a world-renowned international kiteboarding champion, our partner kiteschool is housed in state-of-the-art facilities right on Cabarete main beach, just a few minutes walk from Swell Surf Camp
Their IKO course will guide you through the basics of how the wind works, wind direction and flying a trainer kite safely on the beach, before hopefully moving you up to a larger kite with the power to drag you through the water; the very thing that makes kitesurfing such an adrenaline rush! Kitesurfing lessons start at $72 per hour / per person with 1 on 1 instruction.
