Get ready for four days of thrilling adventure, with a daily 2-hour kitesurfing session guided by our experienced instructors who will ensure your safety on the spot. Learning to kitesurf takes place in 3 stages:
- The first step is on the beach alone, learning how to rig your equipment, use the safety systems and discover the first sensations of flying with a small wing while building confidence; which will already put a smile on your face :-)
Once you've mastered kitesurfing on land, we head out into the water to discover body dragging with the instructor who stays behind you until you feel comfortable. It's guaranteed fun feeling that powerful pull of the kite!
The final step is starting out with the board on your feet, gliding across the water with the wind. Alternatively, the instructor can accompany you in the water to explain the technique. Be warned, this new sensation is highly addictive and can lead to significant dependence!

You'll be able to glide with the wind, becoming completely independent as you learn to navigate among other kitesurfers and feel comfortable on the water with the equipment. You can ride until you're exhausted if you wish, as your assistant will be there to assist you in case of any difficulties. With this intensive program, you'll leave the course ready to fly on your own!

Founded in 2013 by Vincent in Las Terrenas, our local partner is the leading agency for experiencing kitesurfing in the heart of a true Caribbean paradise. Passionate about the Dominican Republic's kitesurfing spots, Vincent has designed a unique experience where the thrill of the ride meets the island's vibrant spirit. Here, your kitesurfing sessions naturally extend into the warm atmosphere of local villages, to the rhythm of bachata and Latin dances. It's the promise of a contrasting stay, between the adrenaline rush on the water and the laid-back Dominican lifestyle, for total immersion in the local culture under the sun and the spirit of sharing.
