Kite and Wingfoil Lessons can either be taken by the hour or booked as a complete course for the duration of the trip. We offer both private and shared lessons which can be taken at your own pace depending on your physical ability. Lessons are compulsory until you are riding upwind and able to recuperate your own board.
Not kited or wingfoiled for a while? Feeling a little rusty? Many guests greatly benefit from a couple of hours of private lessons at the start of the trip to get back to speed. Loose those bad habits right from the start so you can make the most of your time on the water. Once you are riding with confidence coaching is available throughout your kite cruise free of charge. Just ask the captain.
Use your kite and wingfoil vacation to progress to the next level. Whatever your level our skipper is at hand to answer your questions and analyse technical problems. Advanced kite and wing coaching and demonstrations are provided free of charge throughout the trip. To assure your safety our rescue boat is always close to hand.
Fast progression and maximum safety in the Caribbean’s best kitesurfing and wingfoil spots.
All our instructors are professionally trained and follow all safety procedures set out by the VDWS. Instructors have their own dedicated safety boats and stay with their students at all times. When a student has successfully completed each level, we can issue a VDWS certificate which is recognised in other schools around the world.
For maximum security and to ensure the best possible service we renew ALL our kite equipment at the beginning of every season. For lessons we use the NEO and MONO which are great kites not only for beginners, but also for intermediate and advanced riders. Kitesurf equipment and damage insurance is included in the price of lessons. For Wingfoilers we provide the latest Fanatic Foilboard Range from large, easy to use foilboards down to boards for advanced riders.
The VDWS International organisation was founded in 1974 and sets the standards for kiteboarding and wingfoiling safety in watersport centers all around the world. VDWS endorsed schools adhere to a strict protocol which creates a safe and efficient environment for students to learn all aspects of the sport. VDWS instructors go through several stages of training before being able to issue certificates of competence to their students.
Learn to kite or Wing in uncrowded spots with warm water, stable wind and blue skies. Lessons are possible in most of the anchorages however ‘Fregate’ is the safest location for beginners as it offers a large area of very flat water with consistent wind. Once the basic skills have been mastered, lessons can be continued in Mayreau garden or Tobago Cays.
The beaches of the Grenadines are often quite small so kite and wing lessons can often start directly off the catamaran. To ensure maximum safety all lessons take place in open water in offshore winds with the assistance of our safety boat. Instructors are always close to hand and lessons are either one to one shared. We do not teach more than 2 students at the same time.
