Learn & progress in Holbox Island

Why we rate this centre

Our Holbox Kite centre invites you to discover the magic of a place whose nature and weather conditions make it unique for both wind/watersports and wildlife spotting. This centre has been established on the Isla Holbox for 10 years.

If you have an independent level and can consistently ride upwind, the centre will rent you kite equipment. If your level is not quite up to that, then they can assist with rental with supervision. The tips you get should help you progress nicely too. If the wind is marginal and you’re not convinced it’s gonna work – give it a try. If after 3 tacks it’s not making you smile, bring it back without cost.

The kites are from Slingshot Rally, RPM and Turbine from 6m for strong wind, up to 17m for those light breezes that would normally leave you sitting on the beach. The boards are from Axis Kiteboarding, Slingshot and Moses. The centre stocks Twin-tip, Surf, Free Race and Foilboards. There is enough variety to keep even the most hardened kite addict happy.

Kitesurf Lessons

Kitesurf Private Learn To Kitesurf Course (incl. equipment)

hour(s)

From £508

Details

Kitesurfing Lessons with a personal instructor gives you the opportunity to have a 1-on-1 interaction with your instructor to help you learn at a pace that is driven by you. The Learn To Kitesurf course aims to get you riding, while also teaching you how to read the conditions and utilise your equipment safely and correctly.

You will start with the basics; this includes setup of your equipment, safety features that you will utilise and how to fly a small 2metre trainer kite. When your instructor feels you are ready you can then head to the water. On day one you will only be using the kite and not go on the board just yet. Entering the water is when the fun starts! Here you will be taught how to properly fly an inflatable kitesurfing kite, how to control your kite and what to do if you crash it in the water. On day one you will be comfortable flying the kite and know what to do in any situation.

You will then move on to the board lessons. What does that mean? Well it is time to get up on the board now. You will practice using the kite to generate pull and you will learn how to get the kite to pull you without the board first. The idea is to get used to how the kite behaves when asked to pull you. Once confident doing this you will learn how to put the board on your feet and after that, how to get up on the board. Most people will manage to do a few metres on the board by the end of the course.

Note:

You don’t need to be super-fit to kitesurf and the kit is lightweight, so you don’t need lots of muscle strength either. But of course, a decent level of fitness will help you to progress faster. Your instructor will be there to support you, coach you, and more importantly, keep you safe through the learning process.
