Belize Kiteboarding

Caribbean Kitesurfing Vacation

 

Kiteboarding Instruction

Although our island location provides an exceptional arena for kiteboarding, with both smooth lagoon and open sea conditions to choose from, it is not ideally situated to learn advanced (deep water) kiteboarding skills from a beginner level. We do have a trainer kite with which we give basic instruction to guests wanting to start out the sport; since 80% of kiteboarding is learning how to fly and control the kite, a beginner can learn many of the basic skills required to advance ‘up the ladder’ in the sport.

 

 

 

We have an easily accessible shoal off one point of the island where we fly our trainer kite, which employs the new SLE design, allowing the kite to be de-powered and more precisely controlled. Guests can learn basic kite flying skills such as water launches, directional control, loops, and power strokes.

 

Even if you don’t think this sport would be something you might pursue, our trainer kite and location provide an excellent opportunity to try it out. With our set up anyone can now experience the thrill of feeling the power of the new high tech kites that have made this the fastest growing water sport in the world.

Kiteboarding Experience Required

Kiteboarding is on your own, and at your own risk. We do not instruct it (except instruction in controlling the kite, as explained above), nor provide equipment. We assume that anyone who owns the gear and can successfully kiteboard in these advanced conditions (coral absolutely everywhere) that they will not need a rescue. This spot is unsuitable for beginners or even advanced beginner/intermediate sailors, both because of the numerous coral patches and because we cannot guarantee a boat rescue. We have a small boat our caretaker uses during the off season but we don't use it for guest activities or for any facet of our program and can't guarantee its status. We can hire the dive shop boat for an emergency rescue only. Solo kiteboarders need a buddy paying attention to their location and status. If a kiteboarder experiences equipment failure, no one would they were missing without a buddy keeping an eye out for their return.

 

We do offer windsurfing instruction. To see a list of the windsurf gear that Slickrock Adventures has ion Long Caye, visit our island sports page. And read more about windsurfing and our wind conditions on our Belize windsurfing page.
