Kitesurf Lessons 

The Vela Kitesurf Margarita school by MargaritaXtreme offers lessons for all ability levels. We put great emphasis on a safe, proper and efficient teaching methods. Professional courses taught by certified instructors where students receive IKO Kiteboarding Cards upon successful completion of their courses. This card enables you to rent kite equipment from any IKO kite center in the world.

Lessons are either normally confirmed in a semi-private format with no more than 2 students per instructor, though private lesson upgrades are available. Thanks to these private classes or small groups we can assure customized instruction and quality teaching during the lessons. All lessons are scheduled to take place in El Yaque, and includes use of all equipment during boat-guided instruction with use of radio-helmets. Although we have a large team of instructors we always recommend booking lessons in advance to ensure your spot on the schedule, but welcome walk-up students to get into the program once you are there. Once you get to Margarita, please make sure to check-in at the Vela Margarita center either at 09:30 the day of your first lesson or anytime the day before your lesson to reconfirm start-times.
