The Best Pro-Kiteboarding Center
Kiteboarding Lessons & Retail Store

We offer lessons on Kiteboarding, using our qualified instructors. They have been kiteboarding since the inception of kiteboarding and are PASA Certified (which stands for Professional Air Sports Association).

PASA has completed a system to promote and maintain a constant standard of quality and gives ID cards to students and instructors to clearly define their kiteboarding level.

We are located on the West Coast of Florida, St. Pete Beach, in a lovely tropical environment and taking advantage of the breezy onshore winds. We do the lessons in very shallow water and away from hazardous conditions, such as buildings, people, trees, etc., with safety as a number one priority. Lessons are vital as Kiteboarding is an extreme sport and can be great fun as long as you keep safety in mind.

Our lessons are as follows:
Beginners typically have 2 lessons; each lesson is for 2 hours - $170.00* $85.00 an hour if extra time is needed, or if only doing an hour lesson to brush up on skill level.

We supply the latest kites and boards and other accessories for use in our lessons, so it’s not necessary to have your own equipment. But if you do have your own equipment, our instructor can also check over your gear for safety and consultation. We also sell kiteboarding gear, so please let us set you up with the BEST Gear around, no pun intended.

We suggest using a trainer kite to practice flying a kite and purchasing the Beginner Kiteboarding DVD to watch so that learning will be that much easier for the beginner.

Kiteboarding Safety

This sport is INCREDIBLE and you want to dive into it and start throwing some huge airs of your own. Wait a sec, take a breath and let's look a bit closer at things. This sport has the sheer power to pick you up and throw you 20 to 30 ft. + high and over twice that far down wind. That is a big part of the fun and draw of this great sport. Unfortunately, sometimes all the power bursts loose dragging, lifting or lofting you into sand dunes, trees, walls, houses, other people, whatever. Those kite lines can cut, runaway kites can be a serious problem, board leashes can rearrange your looks, painfully, etc. Some guys are even picked up off the water and flung into stuff onshore, ouch and then some. There was a guy a while back in Cabarete, down in the Caribbean who was picked up while standing on the beach and blown over 800 ft. inland and 100 ft. high. He lived amazingly, but others haven't been so lucky.

What is the point? Just like piloting an airplane, which can take a few minutes to learn, there is a LOT more to know in kiteboarding than smacks you between the eyes watching onshore. Years ago, many of us tried to figure out how to kiteboard on our own. Lots of us ended up in the hospital for our choice too. Bystanders can be hurt by our gear as well. If it happens guess who's liable for losing control of things? You are! Today, there are a ton of kiteboarding instructors in marine and lake areas worldwide. So, GET ADEQUATE kiteboarding lessons from a good instructor. Too many people blew this advice off and some merely took longer to learn, others trashed their kite, still others ended up hurting themselves and yet others didn't make it through the experience. There is a lot to know about wind, weather, what makes for a good launch area, currents, waves, kite rigging, preflighting, proper kite handling, how to rapidly build up your skills, passing other kiteboarders and on and on.

Sound scary? Maybe, but just how scary would it be if people tried to figure out how to drive cars on their own, say at a fairground? Not pretty and readily avoidable, if you go at it right. This sport is extreme but if you use your smarts, get lessons and go at things correctly the hazards come better into focus and you up the odds for having no end of great sessions with a lower chance of coming into serious problems.
