Kitesurfing on Aruba

With constant trade winds, flat and shallow turquoise waters, Aruba has become a world renowned kite destination for beginners and pros alike. Are you ready to take on this exhilarating challenge?

Focused on delivering the best kitesurfing experience for our guests, we make safety, quality of lessons and equipment a top priority, making us Aruba’s premier kite school. Our internationally qualified instructors will teach on only top of the range, industry-leading equipment, giving our students the best chance to master the sport.


Our lessons are designed to fully prepare you to become an independent kiteboarder. Your instructor will take you through each stage of learning at your own pace. Our teaching system is divided into three primary sections:

  • Kite Control: For learners with no previous kite experience, we start them on the land with a trainer kite. Here they will learn about wind principles, kite control, safety and set up.
  • Body dragging: It’s time to get wet. Using the kite principles you learnt in your first lesson, you will now use the kite to drag your body through the water in different directions. You’ll learn other core skills such as launching and landing, board recovery, and water safety.
  • Waterstart: It’s kiteboard time. After you understand the principles and are in good control of the kite it’s time to get on the board! This may be trickier than you originally imagined, but it’s all fun and once you’ve got it, there is no better feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment.

Get Safe, Get Wet, Get Riding & Get Hooked!
