Kitesurfing is often classed as an extreme sport, but don’t let that dissuade you from learning. Once you have learned how to control the kite YOU are in control. If you want to push the limits fine, go ahead, learn how to boost huge jumps, pull off “kite-loops”, F16’s or whatever the latest extreme moves are called. But if you want to get a rush simply kiting back and forth with smooth turns or aerial transitions then don’t think twice, go for it! Learning to kite has never been safer. Tico Wind teaches exclusively with Cabrinha Kites “Override TM 2" system. All students are required to wear a life jacket and helmet. Safety is paramount and there are only 1 student per instructor.

Initial body dragging is done with Student and instructor attached by means of a harness. When the student is “solo” in the water the instructor is on the jet-ski ready to help. The instructor is in radio contact with shore at all times.
