Kiteboarding Lessons Near Clearwater Florida
Take kiteboarding lessons near Clearwater, be surrounded by Palm trees and white sandy beaches, the North Skyway Beach in St. Petersburg, Florida is a primo spot to learn to kiteboard! The season brings us wind between October and May, so while much of the United States is cold and snowy, St. Petersburg experiences perfect conditions for kiteboarding.
Located on Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, the area offers beginner friendly shallow conditions in the bay and no matter which direction the wind is blowing, there are always places to get out on the water and learn to kiteboard! This unique characteristic allows us to maximize the number of days we spend on the water.
Don’t worry! You don’t need to be strong or super athletic to learn to kiteboard and you’re not going to get lifted off into space. All you need is a little finesse, a positive attitude and a strong desire to progress. We’ll do the rest for you!
SA Kitesurfing is the best! Dale is a great instructor and Skyway Beach is a great place to learn. Utilizing a jet ski and walkie talkie is so helpful when you’re learning and saved a lot of time! I was up and riding on day 2 (for a while at least!), and Dale’s patience as I repeated mistakes was inspiring. I’ve been watching Kitesurfers in awe for years and I finally got to do it! Go for it, Dale can get you there!
Dale was a great instructor. By the end of my 2nd lesson I was able to ride short distances on the board. The walkie-talkie communication was extremely helpful as he can constantly help you troubleshoot how to improve your skills while in the water. I had a lesson scheduled on a day where the winds just weren’t cooperating but he still took the time to meet me at the beach in the off-chance the forecast was wrong (which unfortunately it was not). 10/10 recommend
Me and my wife had a wonderful time. We both felt way more confident with our kite control. 10/10 would kite again with SA kitesurfing adventures.
Dale is the consummate instructor: experienced, knowledgeable, patient, and calm with an easy laugh that keeps things fun. I’m 72 years old, and I thought perhaps my time for learning to kite surf had passed. Thanks to Dale that wasn’t the case, and I now have a new sport I love.
Dale was great to work with. Had a ton of communication ahead time to coordinate the lesson and was incredibly patient and informative during our session. I definitely feel like I now have a great baseline to build from on my kiteboard journey!
Dale is the absolute best kiteboarding coach. He’s super kind, patient, and obviously loves what he does. He gives you very precise feedback to make significant progress during your learning process. Highly recommended for all your kiteboarding dreams!!
Had so much fun, and Every lesson just kept getting me hooked more to the sport. Thanks for being patient with me when teaching, but also thanks for making me always feel safe, and self rescue tips, cant wait until next time!
The only thing I regret is not trying this sooner.. The training was a lot of fun, good workout, plus Dale is genuinely a cool guy to be around. Good experience, I will be back and going to be shredding it like cheddar by the end of the season
Dale was an amazing instructor. Had multiple sessions with him after trying the sport in Greece. Referred my friends and they had a blast as well.
Had a blast taking lessons from Dale. His patience and knowledge are top notch! Not only did Dale help me build confidence with kite control, he also educated me on tons of kiting safety. Thanks Dale
SA Kitesurf with Dale was fantastic. Had a great experience for my first time kiteboarding (4-hours) and was able to get up and riding in that time.. highly recommend and can’t wait to get out there again!
Great time! Dale is a awesome instructor especially for me and my brother trying for first time, 5 stars!
Dale was great, very knowledgeable, and fun to work with. Highly recommend! Had a blast
SA Kitesurf Adventures is top notch! From our first lesson with Ivan and our subsequent lessons with Dale they place great emphasis on the safety aspects of the sport. Very important and highly respected. They coach clear and concise and help you understand the things you must improve to get riding. Can’t wait for our next lesson! Thank you for being amazing!
We’ve had a great experience learning to kitesurf with SA Kitesurf Adventures. Dale and Ivan are wonderful instructors as they are patient, knowledgeable and skilled. They had us riding a board by the 3rd lesson. We highly recommend SA Kitesurf Adventures.
Dale and team was great in teaching me basics of kite surfing. Very knowledgeable and great one-on-one attention. Successfully, got me up and riding the board. Definitely, will continue my lessons with them, when I am back in St Pete
I had a great time learning with Dale. He was a great teacher. He knew just what to say to make things click for me and get me going up-wind. The walky talkies were also clutch. I highly recommend this guy!!
Dale is the man. I traveled across the country just to learn to kiteboard in the tampa area for a week. I had one other well reviewed instructor in the area before meeting Dale. He squeezed me in on my last day and I learned more from him in one day vs three from others. He explains things well and can answer any kiteboarding question. He corrected my issue and had me riding upwind confidently. Highly recommended!
Such a great way to learn kiting in no time! So happy I took the lesson! The jetski support is extremely helpful! I had such a great time! Highly recommend ☺️
Dale turned me into an independent kiter in no time. Great and patient instructor, can’t recommend enough.
I had a superb refresher lesson with Dale at the St. Pete’s location. It might be the most ideal setup imaginable… shallow flat water with an outstanding instructor following you on a Jetski. I’ve had other lessons, but this was by far my most fun and beneficial.
Went out with Dale for beginner lesson. Only prior experience I have had related to kiteboarding was flying a trainer kite. By the end of the day Dale had me up for a few short rides. Great experience, good instruction. Will be back for more.
I have had a fabulous experience learning to kitesurf with SAKitesurf Adventures. Instructors are patient, knowledgeable and skilled. Most importantly, they take safety of everyone on and off the water very seriously. Lessons are tailored to individual needs and every bit of progress celebrated. There’s a lot to learn about kitesurfing and you can trust SAKitesurf to teach you!
Was my first time trying to kite surf it was lots of fun and I would recommend it 10/10. Dale was a great instructor and made it a lot of fun.
Dale did a great job instructing me on my first kite surfing lesson. He was knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and a pleasure to be around. Provided quality and functional equipment for the lesson. Highly recommend!
SA Kitesurf is a great group to train with. I had the opportunity to learn to kitesurf with 2 sessions in Lyle WA east of Hood River and just completed my 3rd near the Skyway in St Pete FL with Dale. I recommend getting into lessons if you think you’d enjoy the sport. I have no regrets!
