We have chosen Isla Blanca as our kiteboarding grounds, internationally known for its better wind, flat and shallow waters, this helping your learning curve to be that much more noticeable, quicker and safer.

 

There are a series of tasks that must be achieved before hopping on the board and taking off " First you need a basic understanding of wind and power, have proper kite control and be able to safely launch and land before taking it to the next level.
