Kiteboarding for Kids and Teenagers in Tulum

Kids Kiteboarding, first kiteboarding school for children!

Due to a growing demand on children classes we have developed and dedicated a special teaching program for the yougsters. Since the kiteboarding community worldwide is growing more and more, also kids and teenagers start early to learn how to kitesurf. The gear is safer than ever, and with our lessonplans boys and girls can learn how to fly a kite in an easy way.

Kiteboarding connects children to nature

Kids love kites. Teaching kiteboarding to children is a great way to support a healthy lifestyle away from technical devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers and TVs. They learn a sport which gives them a very unique access to nature and its elements. Kiteboarding is an ecological sport, based on the power of wind and water. Kiteboarding not only strengthens the body it also trains important skills such as social interaction, self-reliance, confidence and independence. This helps to grow a child’s mental and physical health. Also, it is an activity that families can do all together, it doesn’t matter which level each one has.

In which age do we recommend to start?

There is no rule as it is very individual depending on physical and mental development. Each child is different. There are 3 years old who already learned to fly a 2-line kite on land, which is normally done by 5-6 years old. The young ones can start early with landkiting to develop the skills to go later to the water. For a full beginner program a child should weight minimum 30 kg and should be a good swimmer, that’s the requisite for flying a tubekite in the water. How fast they learn depends on how coordinated they already are. We start flying a small 4-line kite usually with kids from 10 years on. The most important for the youngsters is to have fun while learning. Our classes are optimized and based on recommendations for children teaching of the IKO (International Kiteboard Organization).
