    IKO provides a professional level of teaching standards, recognized and applied worldwide and updated all the time regarding the development and new technologies on the equipment and teaching methods.
    There are different levels for a Kitesurf Instructor and all the Kite Sisters Instructors are IKO Certified with the highest Instructor levels: IKO Level 2 Senior. Getting to this qualification requires thousands of teaching hours in different conditions, so you will be in good hands!

    At the end of every Kiteboarding Trip you will receive your own IKO Certification Card; with an worldwide validation and that will specify your current level.

    The process of learning Kiteboarding is going to depend on each particular person. Generally, a Kiteboarding course takes from 12 to 20 hours, that is recommended to split in different days, in order to get a gradual and solid progression and the necessary rest and recovery between each step of the learning.

    Having experience in other sports, such as windsurfing, wakeboarding, snowboarding, surfing, and skating, can really help in the learning, but is not completely significant. It’s possible that you have never done an action or related sport, and your Kitesurfing progress is fast and solid.

    This is mainly a technical sport, so if you dedicate the proper time, learn with a certified instructor and enjoy the process, you will become a Kiteboarder faster than you think!

    Belize spot is a spectacular place to learn Kiteboarding; all conditions are suitable for a beginner kitesurfing and making it easy to progress fast, in a really safe environment.

    Video Coaching is an incredibly effective tool that has been being used during the last 20 years in the Surf Industry for high performance training.

    Our Head Instructor, certified IKO Kiteboarding Instructor and ISA Surf Coach, has adapted this surf training technique to Kiteboarding and to the Advance Coaching lessons for our Independent riders (those girls that assist to our camps that already have an advanced riding level).

    The Video Coaching enables us to show you exactly what you look like and what you need to do. It brings in line what you think you are doing, with what you are actually doing. Our Kitesurf Coach will film your kiteboarding session so that after you can together analyze the video and find all the mistakes and everything that you need to work regarding technique, attitude, body and kite position to improve and push your riding to the next level.

    There are many reason that makes learning Kiteboarding in one of our Kitesurf Trips a good decision:

    • All about kiteboarding. You will completely submerge during one week in the kitesurfing world. Our Kiteboarding Trips are focused on the sport, so you will learn kiteboarding not only during your kite lesson, but also helping, assisting and talking with other sisters about kites, experiences, tips, spots. We organize daily Theory lessons, safety clinics and talk about gear, security, spots, hazards and you need to know to become an independent and safe kiteboarder.
    • Experience. Our Team has more than 6 years teaching, traveling and coaching kitesurfing. All our instructors are certified in all the disciplines that are taught during our Camps: IKO Instructors, ISA Coaches and Yoga Teachers. We have taught and ridden in all kinds of kitesurfing spots and conditions, from light wind and big kites to strong conditions with 3 meters kites and waves.
    • Competition free and non-pressure environment. We will help you throughout the learning curve with confidence and security; even if you are beginner, intermediate or advanced, we will teach you, push you and help you adapt to your skills, background, abilities and difficulties. Every person is different so we will adapt every teaching to your best way of learning.

    Helene. QC, Canada. Kite Camp Paracas 2018. I can’t say enough about my time in Paracas with the Kite Sisters crew! From the moment I contacted them for information, to the follow up once I got home, the service was second to none. You can expect to meet great people, have incredible food and be coached by the most amazing patient kitesurfing instructors. As a beginner kiter, I felt safe at all times and progressed relatively fast thanks to the team’ tremendous experience.

The coaches can help a rider of any level to progress, and they were friendly and easy to talk to. The location is awesome, and the food was so tasty, we wanted more every time. 🙂 I would recommend a KiteSister camp to anyone, and have already registered for my next one 😉

    Lindsey, BC, Canada. Kite Camp Paracas 2018. My recent trip with Kite Sisters to Paracas exceeded my expectations, which were already pretty high as I travelled to Tulum with them in 2015. Kite Spot The kite spot in Paracas was the best I’ve experienced so far. Flat water conditions in a bay with consistent winds. I was able to kite 11 out of a possible 12 days. There is a safety boat available so if things go awry you know help isn’t far away. There are enough facilities at the spot to be comfortable but not so many that it’s busy. There were very few non-kiting beach users. Instructors Kite Sisters pick the best instructors to help students progress to the maximum of their abilities. I saw people go from newbie to first rides in just a few sessions. The addition of radios to the helmets is a game changer, especially for people like me who are just getting their first rides so you start to get further from the instructor. They have an ideal ratio of 2 students to 1 instructor. All the Kite Sisters instructors were helpful and shared the excitement of all the students progressions. Food Oh wow, the food! Chef Martín did an incredible job creating 3 amazing meals per day to keep us all healthy and energized. He catered for various different dietary requirements with ease and delighted in sharing with us the details of each dish. The food was fresh, wholesome and delicious. The daily pre-dinner cocktail was a lot of fun. The only bad thing about the food is that when you go home, nothing else measues up to it. Yoga I really enjoyed starting the day with the yoga sessions. For me it helped me check in with my body and strengthen it further for the day ahead. Jamie did a fantastic job of putting together sequences which were in tune with what we needed that day. The daily readings at the end were special and perfect. Excursions I’ll admit before I went a big motivator for me to choose this specific trip was the two additional excursions included in the trip and I loved them both. The Ballestas Islands boat trip privides an amazing opportunity to see wildlife up close. The dune buggy and sandboarding adventure is pure adrenaline fuelled fun! So… much… fun! Organization Chelu is a mistress of planning and organization, she is like the duck on the water, working tirelessly below the surface whilst making it look effortless. She makes sure all the details are taken care of before guests arrive and has put together a great team to make sure everyone is well looked after from beginning to end. If you got this far… why are you still reading? Get out your calendar and figure out how to make a Kite Sisters trip fit into your life. If necessary, change your life. 😉

    Tara. Florida. United States. Kite Sisters Paracas 2018. What an amazing experience! Chelu and her team have created an incredible program that will exceed all of your expectations. From the morning yoga, to the food, to the excursions in Paracas, and of course, the kiteboarding, everything was great. Chelu and her instructors emphasise making you an independent kiteboarder, ensuring you leave with the knowledge and skills necessary to safely and confidently get out on the water on your own. I highly recommend this trip to anyone at any level! I’ll definitely be back
