Whether beginner or expert, Ambergris Caye is a great location for kite surfing!

The shallow reef 2/3mile offshore creates a flat water paradise 20 miles long with No Crowds. Beginners, for your safety all the teaching is conducted just inside the reef in knee deep water, so you dont need to worry about getting dragged into anything dangerous. Intermediates can get assisted launches out by the reef, advanced kiters can launch in several locations just north or south of town. we generally don’t launch from our beach as it gets a bit busy with windsurfers and sailboats.
Downwinders are something else we love to do whether it is 3, 5, or 10 miles or to the next island, whether it is just for fun or to help with your board skills . If you are part of a more adventurous group then the lagoon side of the island is an undiscovered flatwater paradise stretching all the way to Mexico.

   

Our windiest time of year is February through July when the wind speed is usually 12-20 knots. We do get days of 20 plus knots but not consistently. Most of the year the wind is from the east or northeast giving onshore or cross onshore breeze. October through Jan can be good with cold fronts sweeping in.

   

Instruction is a must for kitesurfing and we do all we can to make sure you learn as quickly and safely as possible. We dont teach on or near crowded beaches and a chase boat is an integral part of lessons not an extra charge. That way you are always under the eye of the instructor and learn safely and quickly. Chris is a PASA certified instructor..
