The first lesson starts on land for those with no previous kite-flying experience. You will use a small, low-power trainer kite to learn the various flying techniques, and then progress to the beach where we explain how to rig up a larger kite. Depending on how well you master the kite-flying exercises on land, there may be some time to try your hand at the larger, inflated kite in the water.

Trying to stand up on the board is perhaps the most exciting part of the learning process, but it is also the most challenging part for learners. You need to fly the kite correctly while also dealing with a board on your feet. Once you’ve learned the kite-flying drills well enough, it gets easier. Our experienced instructors will do their best to teach you the correct kite techniques to get you up and riding safely.
What you’ll learn:
| Skill | Details |
|---|---|
| Explanation of the water start | Keeping the kite at 12 with one hand |
| Putting the board on with your other hand | Short water starts followed by controlled stops |
Getting up on the board is one thing, but staying up on it is quite something else! We will guide you through this tricky stage with expert instruction. At this point, we are often heading a little further away from the beach as you start to make longer runs, so we continue to coach you from one of our rescue boats, making sure that you consistently progress and can get back to the beach safely. We’ll make sure you enjoy your kitesurfing and kitefoiling vacation in Aruba!
What you’ll learn:
| Skill | Details |
|---|---|
| The relationship between board direction and speed | Balance and weight distribution |
| Stance | Using the kite to maintain your speed |
Once you're up and riding, the next step is learning how to edge the board to control your direction. The key goal at this stage is mastering the ability to ride back upwind, as most beginners tend to drift downwind during their first attempts. Achieving this skill is often celebrated with cheers, and you'll feel a sense of accomplishment—just like the peace of mind knowing your responsibilities are in good hands while you focus on the fun of kitesurfing.
*Riding upwind typically requires additional lessons, especially for those without prior board-riding experience.
If you're already familiar with the basics, our skilled instructors are here to guide you through more advanced kitesurfing techniques.
Techniques you can learn include:
| Advanced Skills | Details |
|---|---|
| Turning (also known as transitions) | Riding toe side |
| Jumping | Riding a directional board |
| Freestyle tricks (back rolls, front rolls, etc.) |
Ready to elevate your kitesurfing experience? Kitefoiling is the next level of excitement, where you use a hydrofoil board to glide above the water’s surface. This discipline is faster than traditional kitesurfing, as the foil slices through the water with minimal drag, providing a smooth and exhilarating ride. Kitefoil enthusiasts quickly fall in love with the peaceful sensation of being elevated above the water.
Our kitefoiling lessons take place in the open ocean, with a boat stationed nearby to ensure plenty of space and a tranquil environment. If you’re already proficient in kitesurfing, kitefoiling is the perfect next step in your journey. With just a few lessons, you’ll be ready to go off on your own and enjoy the thrill of this advanced technique!
