There's no need to bring specialist equipment or pack for a full day at the beach. LEK's central beachfront location makes it easy to come along for your lesson and then return to your accommodation or head into town afterwards. Storage facilities are available at the school for your personal belongings and valuables while you're out on the water.
We want your time with us to be easy, relaxed and all about enjoying the kiteboarding!

All you really need to bring is your swimsuit! LEK can provide everything else needed for your kiteboarding sessions, with specialist clothing and accessories available to purchase directly at the school.
We strongly recommend bringing sunglasses and high-factor sunscreen to protect yourself from the Caribbean sun, both on the beach and out on the water. These are also available to purchase at LEK if needed.
