- Gear, helmet & vest included
Heads up: the SENDIT first-hour-free promo doesn't apply to the 2-hour Discovery lesson — but it does apply to all the packages below.

Hourly packs for intermediate riders
Transitions, jumps, foils — pick a pack and we'll build the session around what you're working on. Hours never expire.
Built for kids, not scaled down adults
Small kites, smaller harnesses, calmer pacing. Our Junior Specialist coaches kids the way kids actually learn: short focused sets, lots of beach play, and the kind of cheer that gets them back on the kite after a wipeout.
Parents are welcome to watch from the shade — or sneak off to their own session next door.
The Cabarete kite immersion
Seven days on Kite Beach with the same instructor, a structured curriculum from your first body drag to your first upwind runs, and enough water time to actually internalize it.
Most students leave certified IKO Level 3 — riding independently, able to relaunch their own kite, ready to rent anywhere in the world. Lodging not included, but we'll point you to trusted partner spots ranging from hostel to beachfront villa.
