Kiteboarding Lessons

Kiteboarding (also called kitesurfing) is a water sport that combines elements of surfing, wakeboarding, and windsurfing, using an inflatable kite to move a rider across the water on a board.

The kite catches the wind, allowing riders to glide over the surface, perform jumps, or even ride waves like traditional surfing.

Kiteboarding FAQs

You can schedule your lessons online. Choose your location, Course type and time.
When it’s windy! Our Corpus Christi location is open March-July and La Ventana is open Nov-April. Let us know when you’re planning to visit/schedule a lesson and we will give you an update on the availability and forecast.
This mainly depends on the student’s availability to train with their instructor. More consecutive days on the water produce quicker results. Both of our locations average 5-7 lessons before the student is ready to purchase their own equipment.

The Kiteboarding industry has made big strides in the safety since the sports inception. Alongside certified instructors, Kiteboarding is the safest it has ever been. However, kiting is an action sport that has plenty of risks and can be dangerous without proper training. Kiteboarding is an ongoing training in safety, weather, and the environment.
Your first lesson is a three hour session. The first hour we will show you the launch and land area, introduce you to wind and weather conditions, and teach you gear set up, kite flying theory, and safety. We proceed to the water to practice piloting the kite, body/board dragging, and power strokes. Some students even get to the board, but not all.
We will set you up with all the gear you need at each lesson, including:

1. Kite – Choose size based on wind conditions and your weight. Most riders have multiple kites (e.g., 7m, 9m, 12m) for different wind speeds.
2. Control Bar & Lines – Used to steer the kite and control power. Recommended to match the kite brand.
3. Kiteboard – Comes in different styles (twin tip, surfboard, foil board).
4. Harness – Connects to the control bar to distribute power, either seat (more support) or waist (more freedom).
5. Safety Leash – A quick-release system to disconnect from the kite in emergencies.
6. Pump – To inflate your kite
7. Wetsuit or Rash Guard – thickness of wetsuit depends on water temperature.
8. Helmet & Impact Vest / Life vest – Recommended for safety, especially if you’re a beginner.
Bring plenty of water and sunscreen, a rash guard/wet-shirt, sunglasses that either float or have a strap. During our cooler months we will provide a wetsuit if you don’t have one. Most importantly, don’t forget your stoke!
