Kitesurflessons I am really happy with the kitesurflessons from Andrea and Caroline. Andrea was my instructor and very helpful and always positive! I started to feel really annoyed since i was at the point I failed to ride my board and felt like I would never be able to learn it. Andrea was so patience and gave great advice so I managed to ride eventually and felt in control of the kite. Caroline and Andrea really did their best to meet our needs and managed to give us kite lessons every day when the wind was good.

Amazing! Thank you for being so awesome!!!! We booked 2 hours of lessons with another instructor in Barbados (our first two hours ever kiteboarding) and were not very pleased with the instruction or service, so we booked our next lessons with Carolina and Derek at Kitesurf International. They were amazing!!! They exceeded our expectations in every way! As a certified instructor myself in a few sports, I like to think I understand what makes a great instructor and these guys are amazing. They were professional, knowledgeable, experienced, kind, courteous and fun! The gear was in perfect condition and top of the line and their ability to convey concepts, helped my daughter and myself get up on our boards in no time. Also, Kitesurf International were the only instructors we saw over multiple days to actually bee in the water with their students the entire time. Many others would try to instruct from the beach after the first few water-drags. IMO you simply can't instruct from the beach. Thank you for a fabulous experience. I highly recommend Kitesurf International

Great teachers, and very patient and knowledgeable These guys are great, I had a phenomenal time. Carolina and Andrea are excellent teachers and really spend the time to explain things and move you from initial techniques to surfing in the water very logically and in a straightforward manner. They gave me lots of recommendations on how to control the kite and board, and they go out with you to guide you as you get started. Did I mention how patient they were? I thought Andrea was going to lose her voice after saying 'Don't pull on the bar so much' over and over again the whole day. Highly recommended.

Great service & gear hire From contacting Andrea they were great. Came back quickly & gave good info. Able to reserve. I only hired kit for 1 day due to hurting my back, but was really friendly with good quality kites & boards. Would definitely recommend them.

Kitesurfing lessons in Barbados I had a really great time learning to kitesurf with Andrea and Carolina! They are both excellent and professional instructors, who really take you through step by step and make sure you are comfortable as you learn. It's taken me a couple months off and on but now I am riding by myself so now it's time to practice! Thank you ladies!

Bello día, excelente clase Acompañé a mi novio a su primera clase hoy (10 de diciembre), dos horas que parten desde lo básico y necesario sobre el deporte y seguridad. Andrea y Carolina tienen excelente disposición, tienen paciencia y explican bien... y en español!!!Demás está decir que el lugar donde se hacen las clases es bello, lo que me hace pensar que a lo mejor me sumo a la siguiente clase.Si eres de habla hispana y estás en Barbados, te recomiendo tomar esta actividad. Los valores los dan en dólares estadounidenses y el pago debe ser cash, en efectivo. Hacen precio si se toma más de una clase

MORE DETAILS

You can learn from the beach or from the boat and lessons take place either privately, or as a group.

BEACH LESSONS

If you want to learn from the beach, the KiteSurf Intl Barbados team will take you to the best spot in the island depending on your needs and the forecast conditions.

Our special packages include 6 hours, 8 hours, and 12 hours. Within these packages each lesson runs for two hours at a time, and is customized to help you learn and progress to the best of your ability.

Hourly rates are also available, for those wanting a little taste!

BOAT LESSONS

Learning from the boat will allow you to progress faster as you will be practicing in flatter water with endless space!

Boat preparation

You will start with a beach lesson to make sure you know all the basics of kitesurfing and all the safety procedures to kitesurf from a boat.

For beginners, we begin with two hours of beach lessons. We will assess your progress and depending on this you will move on to the 1 hr of boat preparation, or complete further hours of beach lessons. The amount of hours at the beach will depend on your progression but the average for a beginner is 2 hours.

For students at an intermediate of advanced kiteboarding level beach lessons will not be needed. In this case you will only need 1 hour of boat preparation.

Boat lessons

With a maximum of two students per instructor, you will learn in open water from body draging to riding on the board! For the advanced riders, it is also a great opportunity to learn freestyle, strapless riding, learn new tricks and improve skills! Private boat lessons are also avaliable by request.

YOUR PROGRESSION

Learning to kitesurf is fun and can be fast if compared to other watersports. Every person, depending on your ability and previous experience, will learn at a different pace. Our instructors offer personalized teaching, adapting lessons to suit your progression.

Instructors are internationally certified, following a methodology to assure safety and efficiency in all lessons. Progression includes learning kite control and riding your way into being an independent kitesurfer.

Typical progression kiteboarding in Barbados:

  • 0 – 3 hours: Safety, set-up and kite control! This is taught at the beach. You’ll learn to prepare the gear by yourself, safety systems in case of an emergency, and how to fly the kite with confidence and control. We normally spend between 2-3 hours depending on your needs.
  • 3 – 5 hours: Body dragging and water time! This means you’ll practice flying the kite in the water without the board, as well as moving in different directions in the water using the kite. This step is key to continue to practice kite control and to learn how to rescue your board when you lose it in the water.
  • 5 – 8 hours: Now it gets real! We call this step the water start. After you learn to ride with the board we’ll teach you to stop, turn and go upwind in a controlled way. We’ll also teach you other safety procedures such as the self-rescue.

BARBADOS

Barbados is one of the top kitesurfing destinations in the Caribbean. It has conditions suited for different types of kitesurfers including freestylers, freeriders and wave riders.

The main spots are located on the southeast of the island, enjoying consistent trade winds normally ranging between 15-25 knots. Silver Rock and Long Beach are the two popular choices.

Winds are usually easterly and very consistent in both strength and direction. Wind direction is usually side onshore to cross shore. During special times of the year (if you’re lucky you’ll get the local intel!), wind blows more from the south, opening it up to downwinders to the south coast.

The water sports community on the island is very close knit, with the majority of locals kiting together, watching out for each other and briefing newcomers on the ins and outs of the spots. You can choose to enjoy fun kickers, or venture out further to find epic clean waves.

Kiteboarding in Barbados has it all! As an added bonus, the kite spots are just a few minutes’ drive from the airport and close to many facilities. It’s the perfect combination to score an adventurous trip on a Caribbean island, while having comfort and convenience at your shoreline.
