# How to safely self-land your kite in any conditions
I have been using this self-landing technique for over 5 years now and it’s a really a simple and safe way to land your kite in any wind conditions while you are kiteboarding solo. The key is getting the timing just right. Remember to practice this technique in light wind conditions first until you feel like you have the timing super dialed in.
## Key Points
- Start with the kite at 12 o’clock locate which side the flag line is on
- Make sure the flag line is the one on top when you go to fly the kite down to land it.
- Use the trim line to depower the kite
- Fly the kite down to the edge of the wind window at a downward angle as you move towards the wind. We are trying to fly the kite out of the wind window
- Just before the kite gets to the ground let go the bar and use the quick release
- Immediately pull down hard on your safety leash to activate the flag system on your bar and flag the kite.
- Never do this with people around you incase it doesn’t work out as planned

# How to self launch and land a kite from a jet ski or boat
Let’s say you don’t have a good launching spot where you live or you have found a primo spot to kite but its only accessible by boat and there is no beach to launch from or maybe you just live on a lake and want to kiteboard where you live. The video below will teach you everything you need to know on launching and landing your kiteboarding kite from a jet ski or boat. I’ll outline the key points to remember when using the technique.
## Launching
- Setup your kite with the bar/lines downwind
- perform a very neat self-rescue, wrapping the flag line around the back of the bar
- Wrap all the lines around the front side of the bar
- secure your lines with a half hitch
- while keeping your struts inflated, deflate the leading edge
- Roll the kite up from one wing tip to the other, taking care your bar stays clear of the kite
- Load the kite on the vessel and head to a safe secluded spot somewhere upwind
- Anchor the vessel so that the bow is pointing into the wind
- Unroll the kite off the back of the vessel, keeping your bar away from the kite
- Pump up the leading edge and turn the over, lying it flat on the water
- Check and clear your lines for any tangles
- Now slowly and controlled, let out all the lines wrapped around the front side of the bar
- Now start unwinding the flag line, remember to hang onto the flag line until you get hooked in
- Once you are hooked in (Leash and chicken loop), start feeding the flagline until the kite powers up
- Now pull gently on the steering line to bring the kite to the edge of the wind window to launch it.
## Landing
- Bring the kite down to the edge of the wind window, let go the bar and use your quick release
- Now perform a neat self-rescue, Flagline on the back and all the lines on the front
- Once the lines are wrapped up, use a half hitch to secure the lines
- keeping the struts inflated, Deflate the leading edge
- Roll up the kite starting from the flagline side

# Kiteboarding St Petersburg Florida
St. Petersburg, Florida is a prime location for kitesurfing due to its warm climate and access to the shallow waters of Tampa Bay and the beautiful white sandy beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. The city boasts several kitesurfing spots that offer something for every level of kiteboarder, from beginners to experienced riders. Here are a few top kitesurfing spots in St. Petersburg, Florida.
[](https://goo.gl/maps/TGzCbj71sKDRf9V58)### [North Skyway Beach](https://goo.gl/maps/TGzCbj71sKDRf9V58)
**East Side:** Located on the East side of the freeway, the North Skyway Beach Rest Area is a favorite spot for kiteboarding among locals. When the North Easterly wind blows in from the bay, you can expect a lot of kite action going on. The area offers a wide, shallow beach for kiteboarding with plenty of space to launch and ride. The water is usually calm, making it a good spot for beginners and advanced riders to show case some cool tricks. The rest area also offers restrooms nearby for a convenient and excellent kitesurfing experience. You can expect 12-20knts on most North Easterly winds.
**West Side:** Located on the West side of the freeway, the North Skyway Beach is another favorite among locals and offers a smaller beach for rigging and a large shallow area for riding. During really low tide periods, the area can be two shallow to ride in some places. This is also another great easy spot for beginners with calm water. There is a channel for boats near by so be sure not to venture into the channel if you are still learning to kiteboard. There are also large trees near the launch site so be careful not to get too close. You'll see a lot of kite action at this location on the Southerly and North Westerly winds. You can expect 12-30 knots from the South and 12-20knts from he North West sea breeze coming from the Gulf of Mexico.
[](https://goo.gl/maps/GobN82LXfXTGXiNF7)### [Fort De Soto Park](https://goo.gl/maps/GobN82LXfXTGXiNF7)
**North Beach:** Located on the southern tip of St. Petersburg, North Beach at Fort De Soto Park is a popular spot for kitesurfing on the Westerly winds due to the small lagoon with shallow water and the wave swell on the Gulf side of the Beach area. The park offers a designated kitesurfing area, so you'll need to walk about 0.5 miles to the most Northern point of the beach and launch next to the lagoon. There are also nearby restrooms and family picnic areas for BBQing. The lagoon is ideal for beginners and advanced riders looking to pop tricks on flat water. The wave action on the outside of the lagoon can also be a blast for those looking to kitesurf and Wing Foil.
**East Beach:** Located on the opposite end of Fort De Soto Park is another popular spot for kitesurfing due to its shallow water and large grassy area for launching. Locals will kite this spot on Easterly or Southerly winds, 12-25 knots.
[](https://goo.gl/maps/duh6WFDy7oQNaSgH7)### [Pass-a-Grille and St. Pete Beach](https://goo.gl/maps/duh6WFDy7oQNaSgH7)
Located just south of St. Pete Beach, Pass-a-Grille Beach is a lesser-known spot for kitesurfing that offers a more secluded experience kiteboarding on the Gulf of Mexico. The beach is wide and offers plenty of space for riders to launch and ride. The water is usually pretty calm with the Southerly winds and a lot more choppy with the Northerly winds. Sometimes the current can be pretty strong and can make it a challenge to stay upwind if the wind is on the lighter side. You can also do a South to North downwinder from Pass-a-Grille to Treasure Island or the other way depending on the wind conditions. Expect Southerly, Westerly and Northerly winds from 12-25 knots on average. You'll need to pay parking $3.50 per hour.

# Lyle Washington Travel Guide
## Lyle WA near Hood River
There’s so much more to Lyle than just kiteboarding. Don’t get us wrong; Lyle is by far the best place in the Columbia River Gorge to learn to kiteboard and a popular spot for more advanced riders looking to escape crowds in Hood River, but that’s not all there is to this undiscovered gem.
Located on the north bank of the Columbia River at River Mile 181 where the wild and scenic Klickitat River joins the Columbia, sits a little unincorporated town (with a population of less than 500 people) with so much to offer. Whether you love outdoor adventure, food and wine, or simply relaxing with beautiful views, Lyle has something for everyone! Here’s what we love about this charming town (we’ll start with the kiteboarding, but read on to discover so much more).
**Many Opportunities to Explore the Great Outdoors!**
## KITEBOARDING
If you are reading this blog, it’s probably because you found us, and Lyle, through an interest in kiteboarding and/or learning to kiteboard. Lyle is home to SA Kitesurf (SAK) Adventures, one of only two International Kiteboarding Organization (IKO) affiliated schools in the Columbia River Gorge. SAK began kiteboarding operations in Lyle in 2014 and opened a brick and mortar shop the summer of 2017. SAK’s shop overlooks the Columbia River. It is the perfect place in Lyle to hang out, sit in the hammock, make new friends, and watch the kite action without having to trek down to the sandbar.
The Lyle Sandbar is exactly that – a large sandbar exposed on the west side of the Klickitat, where the river meets the Columbia. It’s our favorite place for many reasons. There is ample open space to safely and easily set-up, launch, and land kites. Water around the sandbar is shallow, so those new to kiteboarding can always stand. Similarly, new riders have plenty of space to kite without having to worry about getting stuck in the shipping channel. There will likely always be other kiteboarders out on a windy day, but the sandbar is never as crowded as its neighboring Hood River Event Site. Lyle feels rural and wild and the views from this location are stunning. The wind often comes through big in the evenings, so Lyle gets the best sunset sessions of anywhere around!
SAK has an open door policy and welcomes everyone into the Lyle kiteboarding community! Come see us! We are located at 34 State Street (Hwy 14)
## HIKING & CYCLING
Right from the heart of Lyle you can set out on three different trails!
Enjoy spring wildflowers and spectacular views of the Columbia River Gorge from the [Lyle Cherry Orchard Trail](https://gorgefriends.org/hike-the-gorge/lyle-cherry-orchard.html). This hike is five miles round trip, gains 1500 feet in elevation, and is moderately difficult.
For all you bird lovers out there, the [Balfour-Klickitat Loop](https://gorgefriends.org/hike-the-gorge/balfour-klickitat-loop.html) is for you. This ¾ mile loop is the perfect way to spend the morning admiring your favorite birds. An easy, yet rewarding hike!
The Klickitat Trail, set in an abandoned railroad bed, follows the Klickitat River for a total of 13 miles from Lyle to the town of Klickitat. This is a popular route for trail runners, mountain bicyclists, and families looking for a gentle riverbank stroll. Meander along the trail from [Lyle to Fisher Hill](https://gorgefriends.org/hike-the-gorge/klickitat-trail---lyle-to-fisher-hill.html) for a four-mile round trip day hike or continue on from [Fisher Hill to Klickitat](https://gorgefriends.org/hike-the-gorge/klickitat-trail---fisher-hill-to-klickitat.html) for a 26 mile round trip adventure. If you’re looking for something in between, shuttle a car to Klickitat for a 13-mile one-way cycle or hike. It’s up to you.
Follow our links from [Friends of the Columbia Gorge](https://gorgefriends.org/hike-the-gorge/find-a-hike.html) to learn more!
## Paddle Sports
Lyle sits directly above where the mouth of the wild and scenic Klickitat River joins the mighty Columbia. The upper Klickitat River is known for its outstanding whitewater rafting, while the lower Klickitat boasts Class II rapids suitable for inflatable kayaks and tubes. Further downstream, as you near the Columbia River, you will find Lyle Falls. **The Falls are not safe to pass, so it is essential that you take out above or put in below the Falls**.
The float below the Falls is the most gentle section of the Klickitat. It is ideal for a lazy afternoon of lounging on a tube and dipping in the icy water to escape the summer sun. Along this route you will find delicious blackberries ripe for eating and a rope swing for taking an exhilarating plunge. Check in at the SAK shop for specific instructions on safe places for tubing, rafting and boating along the Klickitat.
## Fishing
Beyond rafting, the Klickitat River is known for its amazing fishing! Whether you are into fishing or just the fish, the Klickitat River is an extremely vibrant place during salmon season. We love watching the salmon runs in late Spring and early Fall. The fish make their journey upstream from the Pacific Ocean to where they were hatched in the Klickitat to lay their eggs. It’s amazing to watch the strength and perseverance of these fish as they jump Lyle Falls!
Some make it home and some don’t. That’s the other side of the story that unfolds in Lyle. For thousands of years, tribal fishermen from the Yakama Nation have fished salmon from the Columbia and Klickitat Rivers. Lyle is one of the only places in the area where you can witness their traditional style of fishing. Where Lyle Falls tumbles through a steep narrow part of the Klickitat River Canyon, tribal fishermen stand on platforms and use dip nets to catch the jumping fish. Learn more from [OPB](https://www.opb.org/news/article/at-lyle-falls-tribal-fishermen-carry-on-a-longstanding-tradition/).
The fishing season opens June 1st and closes after the last day in November. Summer is known for its Steelhead Trout and the Spring and Fall for Chinook and Coho Salmon. There are many qualified guides that can host you for a few hours to several days for the fishing adventure of a lifetime. If you want a recommendation from us, let us know and we will put you in touch with our man Steve! He’ll give you way more than an ordinary experience – we promise!

Check in at the SAK shop for specific instructions on safe places for tubing, rafting and boating along the Klickitat.
## Camping
Why should you spend a night outside in Lyle? The stars! The night sky in Lyle is something that most of us rarely get to experience. Escape the light pollution of more developed areas; lay out a blanket; and plop down for an hour after dark. We promise you’ll be wowed, and we can almost guarantee a plethora of shooting stars – we always see them. Don’t forget to make a wish. We can’t give away our FREE camp secret in this blog, but there is a beautiful little spot along the Klickitat River that we are happy to share with you. Just ask and we’ll give you directions!
## Wine Tastings
You could easily spend an entire weekend in Lyle simply sipping wine. Lyle is home to some of the best wineries the Columbia River Gorge has to offer – and there’s not just two or three, but a grand total of five! Escape into the hills of Lyle to visit [Cor Cellars](https://www.corcellars.com/), [Syncline](http://synclinewine.com/), and [Domaine Pouillon](http://domainepouillon.com/) or stay right on Highway 14 to visit [Tetrahedron. ](http://www.tetrahedronwines.com/)Each and every winery has something unique to offer, and in this case, we cannot possibly recommend just one. You have to try them [ALL](http://www.wineriesoflyle.com/index.html)!
If you are coming to kiteboard and you have a friend or significant other that isn’t into the sport and/or the wind. SA Kitesurf’s shop is directly below the Domaine Pouillon Tasting Room. So whoever isn’t kiting can sit and enjoy an exquisite glass of wine, overlooking the Columbia River, without missing a second of the kiteboarding action.
## Shopping
If you need it, they’ve got it! The Lyle Mercantile is your one stop shop for anything you might need for a weekend away. It’s more of a general store than a convenience store. Not only can you get your typical snacks and light food items, forgotten toiletries, firewood, limited hardware and other camping supplies, but you can also pick up interesting used items (similar to those typically found in thrift shops) and much more. You can even rent movies. And don’t forget to pick up your Discover Pass. The Lyle Mercantile sells the State of Washington’s annual pass for all your outdoor recreation needs. The Discover Pass gives you access to millions of acres of state recreation lands and to our favorite little camping spot mentioned previously.
**If you’re looking for something to do or somewhere to go, thinking about kiteboarding or not, come see us in Lyle! We promise you won’t be disappointed!**

### [Why is Lyle WA The Best Kiteboarding And Wing Foiling Spot in The Gorge?](https://sakitesurfadventures.com/why-is-lyle-wa-the-best-kiteboarding-and-wing-foiling-spot-in-the-gorge/)

# Why is Lyle WA The Best Kiteboarding And Wing Foiling Spot in The Gorge?
- [ June 5, 2023 ](https://sakitesurfadventures.com/2023/06/05/)
Discover why Lyle, WA is the ultimate spot in “The Gorge” to learn kiteboarding. Here are the top 5 reasons why you should choose Lyle for your kiteboarding and wing foiling adventure:
## 1.Escape the Crowds in Hood River
One of the standout features of the Lyle sandbar, located in Lyle, Washington, is its less crowded beach and water. In the world of kiteboarding, where safety and enjoyment are paramount, having minimal crowds in the learning environment is crucial. This is precisely what sets the Lyle sandbar apart from the renowned event site in Hood River, making it the premier spot in “The Gorge” for learning kiteboarding and wing foiling.
The event site in Hood River has gained worldwide fame as a kiteboarding destination, attracting beachgoers and kiteboarding enthusiasts from near and far. While this popularity has its perks, such as a vibrant atmosphere and a sense of community, it also means that the site has become increasingly crowded. The combination of beachgoers and fellow kiters creates a potentially high-tension environment, which can compromise safety and hinder the learning experience.
Learning to kiteboard requires concentration, focus, and ample space to practice and maneuver safely. The Lyle sandbar offers precisely that. With fewer people on the beach and in the water, students have more room to spread out and navigate without the added pressure of navigating through a congested area. This allows for a stress-free and enjoyable learning environment, where students can fully immerse themselves in the learning process.
Not only does the uncrowded nature of the Lyle sandbar contribute to a more relaxed atmosphere, but it also enhances safety. Kiteboarding involves handling powerful kites and maneuvering on the water, which can pose risks if not done in a controlled environment. By learning at the Lyle sandbar, students can focus on mastering their skills without distractions or potential collisions with other kiteboarders. This creates a safer learning environment, where students can build confidence and progress at their own pace.
## 2.Convenient Location
## 3.Consistent Windy Conditions
Lyle, Washington, offers a convenient location for those seeking the best and safest conditions to learn kiteboarding and wing foiling. Just 9 miles away from Hood River, a quick 15-minute drive is all it takes to access the exceptional learning opportunities available in Lyle. Whether you’re based in Hood River or visiting from Portland, Oregon, a mere 1.5-hour drive will transport you to the kiteboarding haven of Lyle. Even from Seattle, you can reach Lyle in approximately 3.5 hours, making it easily accessible for enthusiasts from various locations.
With its strategic location, Lyle serves as a gateway to the breathtaking Columbia River Gorge and its reliable winds, offering kiteboarding and wing foiling enthusiasts an unparalleled playground. Students can benefit from the steady wind conditions and vast open spaces that Lyle has to offer, ensuring an optimal learning environment.
Additionally, Lyle’s proximity to major cities such as Portland and Seattle allows for convenient travel arrangements. Whether you’re embarking on a day trip or planning an extended stay, Lyle’s accessibility makes it a practical choice for kiteboarding and wing foiling enthusiasts seeking a memorable and rewarding experience.
When it comes to kiteboarding and wing foiling in the Columbia River Gorge, Lyle stands out as a premier location offering some of the smoothest and most consistent wind conditions in the area. Unlike the event site in Hood River, where gusty and unstable winds are prevalent, Lyle provides a safer and more predictable learning environment for kiteboarding and wing foiling enthusiasts of all levels.
The steady winds in Lyle are a game-changer for beginners and experienced riders alike. Learning to kiteboard in gusty and unsteady winds can be challenging and even dangerous, as the kite may lose lift during lulls, leading to unpredictable situations and potential risks. In contrast, the steadier wind in Lyle allows students to progress faster and in a more controlled manner. The reliability of the wind in this area creates a relaxed atmosphere during lessons, providing students with a more comfortable and enjoyable experience.
Moreover, the steady wind in Lyle enhances safety during kiteboarding and wing foiling lessons. With consistent wind conditions, students can focus on mastering basic control skills without the worry of sudden changes in wind speed or direction. This stability fosters confidence and enables students to build a strong foundation in kiteboarding and wing foiling techniques, setting them up for success as they advance to more complex maneuvers.
By choosing Lyle as your kiteboarding and wing foiling destination, you’re ensuring that every moment spent on the water is maximized for progress and safety. The combination of steady winds, a controlled learning environment, and expert instruction creates an optimal setting for honing your skills and embracing the exhilaration of kiteboarding and wing foiling.
Whether you’re a beginner eager to take your first steps in the sport or an experienced rider seeking a reliable spot to push your limits, Lyle’s consistent wind conditions offer unparalleled opportunities. Join us in Lyle and immerse yourself in the perfect blend of excitement, progress, and safety. Get ready to experience the joy of kiteboarding and wing foiling in one of the most reliable wind destinations in the United States.
## 4. The Lyle Sand Bar is Massive
The Lyle sandbar, located at the mouth of the Klickitat River, is renowned for its impressive size, providing ample space for kiteboarding lessons. However, during the early part of the season, typically around June, the water levels in the Columbia River tend to rise, partially submerging the sandbar. While this may sound like a limitation, it actually creates a unique advantage for teaching kiteboarding and wing foiling in Lyle.
With higher water levels, the sandbar expands, offering an even larger area for teaching beginner to advanced kiteboarding lessons. This means that instructors have more room to work with, allowing students to practice their skills in a spacious and comfortable environment. The waist-deep water conditions that prevail during this time are ideal for learning and progressing in kiteboarding and wing foiling.
The extended area provided by the sandbar, coupled with the optimal water depth, creates exceptional learning conditions. Students have more freedom to maneuver and practice without the constraints of crowded spaces. The expansiveness of the sandbar also minimizes the risk of collisions and entanglements between kiteboarders, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
## 5. Easy Accommodations
Located just 9 minutes away from Bingen, WA, and White Salmon, WA, the Lyle Sandbar is home to SA Kitesurf Adventures, a premier kiteboarding school in the United states in [Columbia River Gorge](https://sakitesurfadventures.com/kiteboarding-the-gorge-lyle-wa/) and in [Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg Florida](https://sakitesurfadventures.com/kiteboarding-tampa-bay-st-petersburg-florida/).

This converted schoolhouse offers surprises around every corner, with beautiful communal spaces where you can share moments with friends and fellow travelers. For ultimate relaxation, indulge in the underground sanctuary and brand-new spa.

## Our 2023 Trip Highlights
#### ABOUT THE GENADINES
The Grenadines are a chain of 32 unspoiled Caribbean islands stretching 48 miles between St Vincent and Grenada in the Lesser Antilles. Of the 32 islands, only nine are inhabited and open to the public, the most populated being Bequia, Union Island and Mustique. With a natural beauty synonymous with tropical islands of your wildest dreams, not to mention near perfect conditions, they are the ideal destination for both sailing and kitesurfing, with many choosing to combine the two for the ultimate on-water experience. Here are their absolute favorite kitesurfing locations in the Grenadines, all conveniently located within a short day sail of one another.
## SAMPLE ITINERARY
Day 1 - Port Louis Marina
Start the day with breakfast at your hotel. In the afternoon, enjoy a few hours on Grand Anse beach, or shop in bustling markets of St. George’s before heading to Port Louis Marina Board your luxury Catamaran between 5 – 6 pm for a relaxing evening learning the boat’s systems and amenities in preparation for departure the following day. Dine out in historic St. Georges.
Day 2 - Sandy island
After Breakfast, we'll leave Port St. Louis and cruise up the protected western edge of Grenada, we'll pass small fishing villages and stunning unspoiled beaches before passing through the outer circle of the Red Alert Exclusion Zone for “sometimes active” Kick ‘em Jenny underwater volcano. A quick lunch and snorkel stop at Ronde Island, before the final few miles to Sandy Island, just off quaint Hillsborough, Carriacou.
Day 3 - CliftonUnion island
Located on the east side of Union Island, Clifton offers kitesurfers shallow, clear turquoise water in a lagoon type location. Protected by an outer reef, complete with a bar made entirely of conch shells, Clifton is blessed with constant clean, undisturbed tradewinds from the east. It is also home to the popular JP Pro Centre, found on the eastern tip of the island.
Day 4 - Mayreau island
Salt Whistle Bay bay is fringed by a sandy beach overshadowed by coconut palms and is the epitome of the Caribbean, with its distinctive colours and vibe. There are several bars offering tropical cocktails in the afternoon sun, evening lobster BBQ’s, souvenirs and markets, while still maintaining that unspoiled laid back local ambience. A short walk up the hill will lead to a historic old stone church with the most impressive views over Tobago Cays Marine Park.
Day 5 - Tobago Cays
The Tobago Cays Marine Park is comprised of five small uninhabited cays, and one larger island used for BBQ’s, located only two nautical miles from Mayreau. The area is stunningly beautiful, with pure white sand, crystal clear turquoise waters, plentiful coral reefs, and a rich array of sea life. In the afternoon, after a morning of kitesurfing, we recommend re-anchoring in the anchorage off Petit Bateau for comfort and convenience. The sea is flatter, and the local lobster BBQ is a must. Enjoy lobster and rum punch with your feet in the sand or take the opportunity to explore the island and the local wildlife, including iguana & manicou.
Day 6 - Mopion – Petit St. Vincent
We set sail for Mopion, a tiny spit of sand near Petit St Vincent (PSV). This uninhabited slice of paradise is almost too cliche to be true. Fine white sand complete with one loan parasol, surrounded by glass-clear water and a fish-filled reef. Mopion is a very short sail to the private island of PSV, where you can arrive just in time for sunset cocktails.
Day 7 - Grenada Port Loius
We set sail for a downwind cruise southbound to where we began Port Louis Marina where we'll enjoy our final dinner at a preferred restaurant in historic St. Georges. Spend the last night aboard your luxury boat before disembarking at 9am the following day.

## Wing Lessons in The Gorge Lyle Washington
##### **The Gem of the Gorge Away from Hood River Crowds!**
##### **Why Choose Lyle vs. Hood River?**
- **Lyle, WA:** Offers a massive **shallow sandbar** and steadier, less gusty winds, making it significantly safer and faster for beginners to progress. Located 15 minutes East of Hood River, 1.5 hours from Portland Oregon and 4 Hours from Seattle Washington. Take a VIP boat ride up to the sand bar setup and go have fun in waist deep water with no crowds. You can also take advantage of our boat ride downwinders!
- **Hood River, OR:** The “Windsurfing Capital” is the cultural hub of the sport but can be **extremely crowded** during peak summer months, with training needing to be done in deeper water.
If you have questions. Chat with our virtual assistant or Call us [**+1 833 TRY KITE**](tel:8338795483) if you need assistance scheduling a lesson.

#### About Wing Foiling
Wing foiling is taking the world by storm! If you look out across the **Columbia River Gorge** on a windy day, you’ll see riders gliding effortlessly above the swells with massive smiles. This thrilling new sport blends the best of kitesurfing, windsurfing, and surfing into one “levitating” experience.
Why Try Wing Foiling?
- **Pure Sensation**: It’s less about chasing records and more about the flow. Imagine carving through water with the smoothness of skiing on **fresh powder**.
- **Light Wind Performance**: Thanks to **hydrofoil technology**, you can soar in less than 10 knots of wind.
- **Easy Setup**: It’s simpler to rig than other wind sports and much easier on your body.
- **Speed**: Even beginners can find themselves hitting up to **30 mph** with total ease.
A Quick History
The sport found its footing around **2015** when **Tony Logosz** began testing hand-held wings. This led to the release of the **Slingshot Slingwing**, paving the way for the specialized gear we use today.

#### About our lessons
Ready to fly? Our 2.5-hour sessions take you from zero to foiling! We start with the essentials on land—gear setup and wing control—before hitting the water. You’ll learn to stand, sail upwind, and eventually experience the thrill of riding on the foil.
Don’t worry about drifting away; our safety dinghy has your back! Plus, if the wind doesn’t show up, we’ll get you foiling with a tow-behind session. Everything is more fun with a buddy, so grab a friend and let’s get on the water!

Dale was absolutely incredible. Night and day instructor above any I have ever worked with. I’ve been Kiting since 2007 and got him set up to teach my son and he had him riding up wind his first lesson. He is considerate thoughtful. The location is absolutely epic and the spot is perfect for beginners. His location is night and day better than the event site and way better. I would recommend him and his team without hesitation.

Can be costly but it’s really worth it! Great instructions and awesome people. Sold me some quality gear as well. Patient when I asked many questions.
I came back for my first solo (non lesson) and the gusty winds threw me off my board. Alex tossed it 40feet my direction while demonstrating for his lesson.
[Zon Win](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107401871423986025008/reviews)3 months ago
Amazing place! This has to be the perfect place to learn wing foiling. Not the Hood River crowds, very laid back and easy in/out with sandbar to shelter on. It’s more upriver and dryer climate so there is more sun here even though only 18 minutes up the road. The wind is also steady and last all day! Plus there is a fantastic coffee shop and winery restaurant above!
My daughter and I took lesson with Dale. He’s very supportive, showed us the area. Great tips. My daughter is new to wing foiling and had great success. She was flying on her weaker side several times. I was also foiling as lesson went on.
They showed us how to access the area so we can come back other times to practice. I’m looking forward to more lessons! Thanks again!

This is a great school for learning to kite. I started my journey with them a year ago and I feel very confident with the skills I learned from them. Dale and the boys, Alex and Ayden, do a great job and go the extra mile to help you progress and enjoy your time in the process. I highly recommend going to SAK for leaning over some shady hoodriver kite schools, well worth the extra travel time if you are coming from Oregon.
[Ben Elliott](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105369427554538250144/reviews)3 months ago
Went in a group and took a lesson with Aiden, Dale and Alex–was a great experience, was great to work on kite control and try our turns at riding on the board. Great folks, highly would recommend if you’re thinking about pulling the trigger!
[Alan Chao](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113833094807079565984/reviews)1 year ago
Great setup and lesson. Dale is amazing in teaching wing foil with boat and radio assist. Learned so much from this lesson to get me progressing in this journey.
[Luke Krentel](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105951764959815903714/reviews)2 years ago
Dale was the best! Did a great job helping everyone in our group progress even though we were all different levels. Overall great time!
[Brian Plummer](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106059584366812111625/reviews)2 years ago
Great instruction! The site they teach at is not as crowded with great wind. Their instructors are incredible! I would highly recommend to anyone in the area looking to better their skills.

If you are looking for a kiteboarding school that combines expert, upbeat, and patient instructors, all the gear you need, and a stellar location; look no further than SA Kitesurf Adventures! Learning to kiteboard has been a decades-long dream for me. I remember getting my first kiteboarding magazine as a child and since then have longed for the opportunity to get into this exciting sport. I spent 3 days with Dale, Greta and the team learning the theory and practice of kiteboarding and by the end of those three days was kiting proficiently, riding the board downwind in both directions, honing my water starts, launching and landing the kite in various conditions, and having a blast while doing so. Both of my instructors were warm, explained things clearly and were stoked when I made incremental successes. Through the learning process, they would give me meaningful and clear feedback on how I could continue to improve and met me where I was as a student. Over the years I have had instructors in rock climbing, paragliding, scuba diving, and several other sports. I know what good instruction feels like and these guys really met and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them!!!
[M](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103882911973337346118/reviews)2 years ago
An excellent kiting school! It’s in a really chill spot, away from the event site, and is a beginner friendly spot. I’ve taken a number of lessons at other places before I came here and they were easily able to get up to speed with where I’m at with my kiting skills. My instructor was Aidan and he was able to help help me on riding upwind and doing transitions a lot more consistently. He even taught me to ride toeside which I didn’t even believe I could do since I’m a beginner. Prices are super reasonable as well. Dale is also great, fun to chat with, and super kind! Would definitely recommend this school!
[Ali MirRasekhian](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106024307384214549489/reviews)4 years ago
Took 2 days of lessons with Dale and had a great time. He got me up riding in our first session and just continued to help me improve through the weekend. Had an incredible time and he didn’t a great job with ongoing coaching. Couldn’t recommend enough
[Scott Hawken](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113856706681956271652/reviews)4 years ago
Highest recommendation for SA Kites, both for kiteboarding lessons and purchasing gear. They run a great business with an awesome sense of community. Everyone there is helpful and excited to make you better.
Three of us each took 5 lessons in Lyle as complete beginners. We made a ton of progress and had a lot of fun. Afterward, we felt safe and competent enough to go out on our own; we have since been kiting together and having a great time. We worked with several instructions, all of whom were excellent, and primarily with Dale, Edwin, and Tanner. Erika was super helpful and organized working with our schedules and wind conditions.
For gear, Dale gave us competitively priced quotes for new and gently used gear that got us started quickly and easily. As beginners, we’ve had a lot of questions, all of which have been answered thoroughly.
Overall, the team at SAK has been a valuable resource for getting us into a new sport and a joy to be around; I can’t recommend them highly enough.
[Stephen Kaczmarek](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112019925751915592465/reviews)4 years ago
This place is amazing! Flat water, huge sand bar, no consequences with onshore wind, great instructors, no crowds! Instructors were amazing and gear was top notch! Skip the event center in Hood River and take your lessons here! You won’t regret it!!!!
[Dwain Henderson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106367990209564625817/reviews)4 years ago
Had four classes with SA Kite Boarding and it was awesome. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient and like to see the students progress. Would suggest this company and instructors to anyone who is thinking of taking classes. Edwin was my primary instructor and he is a class act. Very professional, awesome humor and technically proficient in all aspects. Good work team, I’ll be back for sure.
[Scott Winters](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108427416418139656438/reviews)4 years ago
Great experience for a trio of first timers. Erika was excellent in communicating and explaining the classes and setting us up for success. Dale, Edwin, and Kathy were awesome getting all of us boarding in both directions. Will be coming back. Location was much less busy than up in Hood River. Nice sand bar.
[Ayman Zaki](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107883584427446037655/reviews)4 years ago
These guys are the real deal!! Super friendly staff and solid instructors. I was impressed with how much progress I was able to make during the session; they neither slack nor push beyond your limit and the session is tailored to your skill level and what you need to focus on. I highly recommend them & definitely going back whenever I’m around the area.
[Seth Andersen](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103644255335481699565/reviews)4 years ago
Just finished 3 days of instruction with SA Kite in Lyle. We had limited time in the area and they were great about working us in the schedule to get as much time on the water as possible. It was nice to have different instructors to be exposed to a variety of techniques and tricks. Edwin, Tanner, Dale and Erika were great!
[Paul winterton](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117882275208169317516/reviews)4 years ago
Spent three sessions under the expert tutelage of Dale. Outstanding, attentive, safe, and appropriately calibrated to my skill and needs. I’m already booked again to return at the end of summer, 2022.
Definite quantum leap in my learning curve, and so enjoyed the time I spent with Dale and Erika. Do not miss this opportunity with these experts.
[David Patrick Lorenz](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114533506301531118431/reviews)4 years ago
I had an awesome two days with Dale. This was my 8th time out kitesurfing but my first in Tampa with SAK. Dale was the best of the 4 instructors I have had. He had me confidently riding upwind and working on turns by the end of our second day. In addition to the excellent instruction, I appreciated the time spent on kite set up/take down and on safety. Amazing location, looking forward to coming back.
[Travis Hauan](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101043229553238765710/reviews)5 years ago
Absolutely amazing experience! Owners were super friendly and helpful, the instructor was a blast and was very good. I had done beginner lesson two years ago and did a back-to-back lesson this time. I was up, riding upwind and was starting to get smoother transitions by the end. Great place, highly recommended.
[Roman Bogza](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110360028085013152341/reviews)5 years ago
I really enjoyed learning to kiteboard with SA Kitesurf. Dale is an awesome instructor! Highly recommend.
[Judd Alexander](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115312474913210485192/reviews)6 years ago
Dale is a great guy and great teacher with a laid back personality. Had a great time learning to get up and ride.
After going out with another teacher from another school, I realized that Dale is in it for the money.
[Preston Morrison](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106364648771610965631/reviews)6 years ago
Took lessons with SA Kitesurf in Lyle, WA and had an incredible experience. The instructors are very experienced, patient, and they are very safety oriented. Dale and Erika were incredibly helpful and easy to work with. An absolutely beautiful location in the Columbia Gorge. I had Tanner for my first lesson and he went above and beyond in his guidance and feedback. You guys rock!!! I’d highly recommend them to anyone wanting to get into the sport.
[Darrin Clay](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112952269488618441222/reviews)7 years ago
I highly recommend SA Kitesurf Adventure Kiteboarding School. I was up riding in a weekend!
Coming from Seattle they were very flexible with the schedule and warned us in advance when the conditions were predicted to be not good for the first session, I opted to do a back to back afternoon and evening session on Saturday, which they didn’t recommend but I was stubborn because family came to watch. In retrospect it would have been better to move to another day or have at least a longer break between sessions. Because my brain knew what to do (thanks to Dale over the radio in the helmet) just my arms and legs were jelly by the second session. Whereas on the Sunday morning session I wasn’t as tired.
Dale was an awesome instructor. He has a calm reassuring voice like Crocodile Dundee when you’re about to panic. As well as having knowledge and tricks to learning that I had not seen anywhere on YouTube. I came in thinking I wasn’t going to learn more than what I already saw but I was very wrong and the instant situational feedback made me progress so much faster.
The equipment was great. The radio headset were a must when taking a class. I wouldn’t have thought that the zodiac would be as well. However it was because the zodiac made it so we could go way upwind in the deep water for nice long downwind runs where you’re up on the board, as it is whole another level to ride upwind. Without the zodiac you would have to walk upwind with the kite for every run, giving you less time, energy and distance to practice.
The Lyle location with its wide flat waist deep sand bar worked great for the first part of learning to control the kite with one hand while getting your feet on the board and getting the beginning water start. A short crowded beach like Hood River would have been a lot harder and less safe.
The photo option is well worth it too, all attached were taken by Dale.
## Weather Forecast
Take a look at the weather forecast and determine what days you may be available to do lesson. In the Gorge we typically need around 15kt+ to be able to Wing foil, so look for higher wind periods in the day and book through our online booking system accordingly. If you’re not sure, just give us call and we’ll be happy to help you book over the phone.

## Kiteboarding Lessons in The Gorge Lyle Washington
##### **The Gem of the Gorge Away from Hood River Crowds!**
##### **Why Choose Lyle vs. Hood River?**
- **Lyle, WA:** Offers a massive **shallow sandbar** and steadier, less gusty winds, making it significantly safer and faster for beginners to progress. Located 15 minutes East of Hood River, 1.5 hours from Portland Oregon and 4 Hours from Seattle Washington. Take a VIP boat ride up to the sand bar setup and go have fun in waist deep water with no crowds. You can also take advantage of our boat ride downwinders!
- **Hood River, OR:** The “Windsurfing Capital” is the cultural hub of the sport but can be **extremely crowded** during peak summer months, with training needing to be done in deeper water.
If you have questions. Chat with our virtual assistant or Call us [**+1 833 TRY KITE**](tel:8338795483) if you need assistance scheduling a lesson.

Dale was absolutely incredible. Night and day instructor above any I have ever worked with. I’ve been Kiting since 2007 and got him set up to teach my son and he had him riding up wind his first lesson. He is considerate thoughtful. The location is absolutely epic and the spot is perfect for beginners. His location is night and day better than the event site and way better. I would recommend him and his team without hesitation.

Can be costly but it’s really worth it! Great instructions and awesome people. Sold me some quality gear as well. Patient when I asked many questions.
I came back for my first solo (non lesson) and the gusty winds threw me off my board. Alex tossed it 40feet my direction while demonstrating for his lesson.
[Zon Win](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107401871423986025008/reviews)3 months ago
Amazing place! This has to be the perfect place to learn wing foiling. Not the Hood River crowds, very laid back and easy in/out with sandbar to shelter on. It’s more upriver and dryer climate so there is more sun here even though only 18 minutes up the road. The wind is also steady and last all day! Plus there is a fantastic coffee shop and winery restaurant above!
My daughter and I took lesson with Dale. He’s very supportive, showed us the area. Great tips. My daughter is new to wing foiling and had great success. She was flying on her weaker side several times. I was also foiling as lesson went on.
They showed us how to access the area so we can come back other times to practice. I’m looking forward to more lessons! Thanks again!

This is a great school for learning to kite. I started my journey with them a year ago and I feel very confident with the skills I learned from them. Dale and the boys, Alex and Ayden, do a great job and go the extra mile to help you progress and enjoy your time in the process. I highly recommend going to SAK for leaning over some shady hoodriver kite schools, well worth the extra travel time if you are coming from Oregon.
[Ben Elliott](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105369427554538250144/reviews)3 months ago
Went in a group and took a lesson with Aiden, Dale and Alex–was a great experience, was great to work on kite control and try our turns at riding on the board. Great folks, highly would recommend if you’re thinking about pulling the trigger!

Great setup and lesson. Dale is amazing in teaching wing foil with boat and radio assist. Learned so much from this lesson to get me progressing in this journey.
[Luke Krentel](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105951764959815903714/reviews)2 years ago

If you are looking for a kiteboarding school that combines expert, upbeat, and patient instructors, all the gear you need, and a stellar location; look no further than SA Kitesurf Adventures! Learning to kiteboard has been a decades-long dream for me. I remember getting my first kiteboarding magazine as a child and since then have longed for the opportunity to get into this exciting sport. I spent 3 days with Dale, Greta and the team learning the theory and practice of kiteboarding and by the end of those three days was kiting proficiently, riding the board downwind in both directions, honing my water starts, launching and landing the kite in various conditions, and having a blast while doing so. Both of my instructors were warm, explained things clearly and were stoked when I made incremental successes. Through the learning process, they would give me meaningful and clear feedback on how I could continue to improve and met me where I was as a student. Over the years I have had instructors in rock climbing, paragliding, scuba diving, and several other sports. I know what good instruction feels like and these guys really met and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them!!!

An excellent kiting school! It’s in a really chill spot, away from the event site, and is a beginner friendly spot. I’ve taken a number of lessons at other places before I came here and they were easily able to get up to speed with where I’m at with my kiting skills. My instructor was Aidan and he was able to help help me on riding upwind and doing transitions a lot more consistently. He even taught me to ride toeside which I didn’t even believe I could do since I’m a beginner. Prices are super reasonable as well. Dale is also great, fun to chat with, and super kind! Would definitely recommend this school!

Took 2 days of lessons with Dale and had a great time. He got me up riding in our first session and just continued to help me improve through the weekend. Had an incredible time and he didn’t a great job with ongoing coaching. Couldn’t recommend enough
[Scott Hawken](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113856706681956271652/reviews)4 years ago
Highest recommendation for SA Kites, both for kiteboarding lessons and purchasing gear. They run a great business with an awesome sense of community. Everyone there is helpful and excited to make you better.
Three of us each took 5 lessons in Lyle as complete beginners. We made a ton of progress and had a lot of fun. Afterward, we felt safe and competent enough to go out on our own; we have since been kiting together and having a great time. We worked with several instructions, all of whom were excellent, and primarily with Dale, Edwin, and Tanner. Erika was super helpful and organized working with our schedules and wind conditions.
For gear, Dale gave us competitively priced quotes for new and gently used gear that got us started quickly and easily. As beginners, we’ve had a lot of questions, all of which have been answered thoroughly.
Overall, the team at SAK has been a valuable resource for getting us into a new sport and a joy to be around; I can’t recommend them highly enough.
[Stephen Kaczmarek](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112019925751915592465/reviews)4 years ago
This place is amazing! Flat water, huge sand bar, no consequences with onshore wind, great instructors, no crowds! Instructors were amazing and gear was top notch! Skip the event center in Hood River and take your lessons here! You won’t regret it!!!!
[Dwain Henderson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106367990209564625817/reviews)4 years ago
Had four classes with SA Kite Boarding and it was awesome. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient and like to see the students progress. Would suggest this company and instructors to anyone who is thinking of taking classes. Edwin was my primary instructor and he is a class act. Very professional, awesome humor and technically proficient in all aspects. Good work team, I’ll be back for sure.
[Scott Winters](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108427416418139656438/reviews)4 years ago
Great experience for a trio of first timers. Erika was excellent in communicating and explaining the classes and setting us up for success. Dale, Edwin, and Kathy were awesome getting all of us boarding in both directions. Will be coming back. Location was much less busy than up in Hood River. Nice sand bar.
[Ayman Zaki](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107883584427446037655/reviews)4 years ago
These guys are the real deal!! Super friendly staff and solid instructors. I was impressed with how much progress I was able to make during the session; they neither slack nor push beyond your limit and the session is tailored to your skill level and what you need to focus on. I highly recommend them & definitely going back whenever I’m around the area.
[Seth Andersen](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103644255335481699565/reviews)4 years ago
Just finished 3 days of instruction with SA Kite in Lyle. We had limited time in the area and they were great about working us in the schedule to get as much time on the water as possible. It was nice to have different instructors to be exposed to a variety of techniques and tricks. Edwin, Tanner, Dale and Erika were great!
[Paul winterton](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117882275208169317516/reviews)4 years ago
Spent three sessions under the expert tutelage of Dale. Outstanding, attentive, safe, and appropriately calibrated to my skill and needs. I’m already booked again to return at the end of summer, 2022.
Definite quantum leap in my learning curve, and so enjoyed the time I spent with Dale and Erika. Do not miss this opportunity with these experts.
[David Patrick Lorenz](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114533506301531118431/reviews)4 years ago
I had an awesome two days with Dale. This was my 8th time out kitesurfing but my first in Tampa with SAK. Dale was the best of the 4 instructors I have had. He had me confidently riding upwind and working on turns by the end of our second day. In addition to the excellent instruction, I appreciated the time spent on kite set up/take down and on safety. Amazing location, looking forward to coming back.
[Travis Hauan](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101043229553238765710/reviews)5 years ago
Absolutely amazing experience! Owners were super friendly and helpful, the instructor was a blast and was very good. I had done beginner lesson two years ago and did a back-to-back lesson this time. I was up, riding upwind and was starting to get smoother transitions by the end. Great place, highly recommended.
[Roman Bogza](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110360028085013152341/reviews)5 years ago
I really enjoyed learning to kiteboard with SA Kitesurf. Dale is an awesome instructor! Highly recommend.
[Judd Alexander](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115312474913210485192/reviews)6 years ago
Dale is a great guy and great teacher with a laid back personality. Had a great time learning to get up and ride.
After going out with another teacher from another school, I realized that Dale is in it for the money.
[Preston Morrison](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106364648771610965631/reviews)6 years ago
Took lessons with SA Kitesurf in Lyle, WA and had an incredible experience. The instructors are very experienced, patient, and they are very safety oriented. Dale and Erika were incredibly helpful and easy to work with. An absolutely beautiful location in the Columbia Gorge. I had Tanner for my first lesson and he went above and beyond in his guidance and feedback. You guys rock!!! I’d highly recommend them to anyone wanting to get into the sport.
[Darrin Clay](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112952269488618441222/reviews)7 years ago
I highly recommend SA Kitesurf Adventure Kiteboarding School. I was up riding in a weekend!
Coming from Seattle they were very flexible with the schedule and warned us in advance when the conditions were predicted to be not good for the first session, I opted to do a back to back afternoon and evening session on Saturday, which they didn’t recommend but I was stubborn because family came to watch. In retrospect it would have been better to move to another day or have at least a longer break between sessions. Because my brain knew what to do (thanks to Dale over the radio in the helmet) just my arms and legs were jelly by the second session. Whereas on the Sunday morning session I wasn’t as tired.
Dale was an awesome instructor. He has a calm reassuring voice like Crocodile Dundee when you’re about to panic. As well as having knowledge and tricks to learning that I had not seen anywhere on YouTube. I came in thinking I wasn’t going to learn more than what I already saw but I was very wrong and the instant situational feedback made me progress so much faster.
The equipment was great. The radio headset were a must when taking a class. I wouldn’t have thought that the zodiac would be as well. However it was because the zodiac made it so we could go way upwind in the deep water for nice long downwind runs where you’re up on the board, as it is whole another level to ride upwind. Without the zodiac you would have to walk upwind with the kite for every run, giving you less time, energy and distance to practice.
The Lyle location with its wide flat waist deep sand bar worked great for the first part of learning to control the kite with one hand while getting your feet on the board and getting the beginning water start. A short crowded beach like Hood River would have been a lot harder and less safe.
The photo option is well worth it too, all attached were taken by Dale.

### FAQ's
##### Most frequent questions and answers
Who can kiteboard?
You should be at least 12 years of age to learn to kiteboard, and you are never too old. In regard to fitness, people of all shapes and sizes kiteboard. Strength (especially in the core), flexibility, and endurance will help you to progress more quickly in the sport, but are not prerequisites for learning. In fact, kiteboarding is a great way to get into shape! The only physical requirement is the ability to swim. Beyond that, we match the appropriate kite to your size and the wind conditions. In a nutshell, with the same wind speed, the bigger the person, the bigger the kite, the smaller the person, the smaller the kite. Don’t worry, you’re not going to fly away. You’ll be perfectly safe as long as you listen to your instructor.
Do you provide equipment for lessons?
Yes! We provide all the latest equipment including, kites, harnesses, floatation vests, wetsuits, shoes and kiteboards for all your kiteboarding lessons. We also provide two way radio communication so that you stay connected to your instructor at all times and either a boat or a jet ski to transport you upwind when you get to the water start stage. We do recommend bringing your own wetsuit and water shoes if you have your own.
What do I need to bring?
We do provide wetsuits but we recommend bringing your own as sizing can be an issue for some people. Also, water shoes (if you own them), hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and water. We provide the rest!
Why should I take lessons from an IKO affiliated kiteboarding center?
IKO, International Kiteboarding Organization, is the world’s largest kiteboard training organization. To become an IKO affiliated center, kiteboarding schools must meet high standards of set criteria that ensure their commitment to quality and safety. IKO instructors are trained to teach using IKO’s safe, progressive method which helps you to reach your goals faster and with confidence. We do not recommend taking lessons from your kiteboarding friends or schools without certified instructors.
How long will it take me to ride on the board?
That all depends on you! Each person’s kiteboarding progression is different. If you excel at the sport, we will not hold you back, and if you need more time to feel comfortable, we will not push you. On average it takes about 6 hours to stand up on the board and ride a short distance. We recommend 12.5 hours, however, to increase your confidence, ensure safety and become fully independent.
The IKO progression is as follows: In your first lesson you will learn kite setup, safety and begin to master your kite control. In your second lesson you will begin to use the power of the kite to pull your body through the water and learn the body dragging technique. In your third lesson you will put the board on your feet and attempt your first water starts. Most people can only ride in one direction at this point and don’t necessarily feel confident to go out on their own. After 12 hours of training you should be riding in both directions and will fully understand safety and self-rescue techniques to avoid emergency situations.
Short on time? We can combine two lessons into one day and fast track you to the board!
What are the differences between private, semi-private and group lessons?
Private lessons consist of one student, one instructor, and one kite. Semi-Private lessons consist of two students, one instructor, and two kites. Group lessons consist of two students, one instructor, and one kite. Group lessons cost less than private lessons, so bring your friends, family members, or partners! A maximum of three people on a discovery lesson. All equipment is provided for your kiteboarding course.

My husband and I took our first kite boarding lesson with Dale. He was an amazing teacher and explained everything so clearly. We had a blast learning and it was an incredible experience. Would highly recommend trying a lesson from Dale and learning the kite boarding experience!!!
[Poindexter](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109404828870117029409/reviews)5 months ago
My 15 year old son had an incredible 3 day experience with SA Kitesurf Adventures. After just 3 lessons he went from never having kitesurfed to sailing across the water like a pro. Our instructor Dale was amazing and our son came off the water each day totally excited from his experience. He can’t wait to go back kitesurfing with Dale. We would give 6 stars if we could.
[Brian K.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113696057558048723886/reviews)5 months ago
Great experience. Have had an interest in trying kite surfing for a while. Found out I was going to Sarasota recently for a trip that was going to have some down time around required events. On a whim, I contacted Dale to see if there was a way to fit some lessons in around my (fairly constrained) schedule and he was very helpful in figuring out how to make some intro lessons work. Dale’s instruction is top-notch. I am brand new to the sport and being tethered to the kite took a little mental getting used to. Dale took time to make sure I remained comfortable as we advanced through the lessons and I felt thoroughly prepared for each step up. For anyone even thinking about kite surfing, I recommend you go try. It was a great experience and I plan to stick with it.
[Nick M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105712668995031153821/reviews)5 months ago
Amazing experience with Dale! Great instructor, very knowledgeable, and made me feel completely safe on the water. With his help, I landed my first jumps — huge milestone for me. 100% recommend!
[Henry S.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117474960521845647737/reviews)6 months ago
If you want to learn kitesurfing Dale at SA Kitesurf Adventures is the person to see. He is very patient and clear with instructions, he has excellent equipment and his safety training is outstanding! I would highly recommend him !!
[Hayden R.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115168898210208577453/reviews)7 months ago
I just finished my first Foil lesson and it was an awesome experience. Dale had me up and riding way faster than I expected. He broke everything down in a simple, easy-to-understand way.
His coaching, patience, and ability to explain technique made all the difference. If you’re thinking about getting into foiling, I highly recommend taking a lesson with him. It will save you time and frustration.
[Tom M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110789184058697690766/reviews)7 months ago
One of the best sessions I’ve had on the water was with Dale coaching me through toe side riding and basics of jumps. Great resource for lessons – I will be back!
[Anna S.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101438546355852146484/reviews)10 months ago
Probably my most favorite kite lesson I had so far! Even though the wind wasn’t the strongest or maybe just because I was able to learn many new things and improve a lot!
Thanks again for another amazing day out on the kite board.
[Melanie D.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114252339722302925750/reviews)11 months ago
Unbelievably fun experience!!! I’m a total beginner and as a woman, kitesurfing felt a little challenging but Dale made everything (including my many mistakes) funny and doable. Got up for a few seconds a few times on my second lesson and I’m hooked! I highly recommend SA Kitesurf!.
[David R.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111010417440147081512/reviews)2 years ago
Dale was excellent!
[Stewart P.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100285456603723779640/reviews)2 years ago
I’ve had 3 or 4 lessons in several countries and nothing compares to lessons with SAK
Dale is in direct communication while your kiting via as small walkie-talkie on your vest. This leads to instant feedback on your riding and prepping for a turnaround which I needed to learn. I can confidently say I got it after 1 lesson and perfected on the second. Also brushed up on safety procedures which I needed.
[David L.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114321307904688745807/reviews)2 years ago
Dale is the man!! He really cares about his students and does his best to make sure that they complete their goals for each session!
[Patrick M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101313480370516300592/reviews)2 years ago
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!
[Craig L.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109266576002062960536/reviews)2 years ago
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
[Ari M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101993509590422405284/reviews)2 years ago
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.
[Jill B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108966870941428358845/reviews)2 years ago
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.
[Gregg B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113248618411813920910/reviews)2 years ago
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!
[FreeLance Dog T.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106620808885995158287/reviews)3 years ago
Great instructor! Made lots of improvement in two lessons.
[David G.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104114578520685772823/reviews)3 years ago
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!!
[Ic g](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101503979896201208947/reviews)3 years ago
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!
[Elijah B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117694247979996430088/reviews)3 years ago
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
[Wayne Y](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/118115253334848107456/reviews)3 years ago
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.
[Cathryn B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113742534968287202885/reviews)3 years ago
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
[Nick T.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116000763263737816178/reviews)3 years ago
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!
[James B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108609659741928347294/reviews)3 years ago
Great time! Dale is a awesome instructor especially for me and my brother trying for first time, 5 stars!
[Dennis M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100346665340928659292/reviews)3 years ago

[Shanae C.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112531940460101349720/reviews)3 years ago
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!
[Melissa M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/118345818335941229388/reviews)3 years ago
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.
[Drew Z.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102923460998972022843/reviews)3 years ago
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
[Paul K.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117332026999333630276/reviews)4 years ago
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!!
[Ryan L](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105333461587435181384/reviews)4 years ago
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!
[Maria D.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112986477224828347678/reviews)4 years ago
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 ☺️
[Jared K.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107736436249905751767/reviews)4 years ago
Dale turned me into an independent kiter in no time. Great and patient instructor, can’t recommend enough.
[Brian H.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103119398009586589699/reviews)4 years ago
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.
[Gareth T.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112387269530096374310/reviews)4 years ago
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.
[Gretchen P.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112049520947769201276/reviews)4 years ago
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!
[Joseph K.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113062869808794941704/reviews)4 years ago
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.
[Lee E.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111518493730704877800/reviews)5 years ago
SA is awesome. We proved you could teach old dogs new tricks!!!😂 Thanks Dale
[D D.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112758037398554610395/reviews)5 years ago
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!
[Jeff M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110055776086758477732/reviews)7 years ago
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!

What is Wing foiling?
Wing Foiling has captivated enthusiasts worldwide! Look out across Tampa Bay on a windy day, and you’ll see wing foilers smoothly sailing over the waves, their joy evident in their beaming smiles. This exhilarating new wind sport is a sight to behold.
**Let’s explore wing foiling in Tampa Bay**: What is Wing Foiling? It’s a fusion of kitesurfing, windsurfing, and surfing.The main draw? Utilizing the ocean’s energy to carve through the water and have a blast. It’s less about speed or high jumps and more about the sheer pleasure of water riding. Picture yourself almost levitating as you glide above the water, hitting speeds up to 30 mph with ease.
Why Wing Foiling? Hydrofoil technology lets you soar even in under 10 knots of wind. Setting up for wing foiling is easier than other wind sports, reducing strain on your hands and body. It’s likened to skiing on fresh powder—silent, simple, and thrilling.
**A Bit of History:** Tony Logosz initiated hand-held wing tests in 2015, enabling immediate foiling without traditional windsurfing sails or kites. Soon after, Slingshot released the Slingwing, and other models followed, establishing wing foiling as a unique sport.
**Get Ready to Ride:** Sign up for a lesson, collect your equipment (wing, foil, board), and venture into the waters. Master wing handling on land, learn to tack against the wind, and activate the foil. Before long, you’ll be soaring with ease, navigating Tampa Bay’s tranquil waters and the Gulf of Mexico’s swells. If you’re seeking an exciting escapade, wing foiling is calling your name.
Secure a spot in our beginner wing foiling course, and we’ll outfit you with all the specialized equipment, customized for your size and weight to match the wind conditions. Each lesson spans at least two hours, encompassing a wide array of skills—from setup and dry land wing handling to understanding wind theory and sailing points. We’ll support you as you learn to cruise on your knees, transition smoothly to standing, and manage your speed and direction while aboard. Plus, you’ll experience the exhilaration of your first foil lifts.
Every lesson is enhanced with Jetski support, included at no extra charge, to boost your learning and ensure your safety. With our commitment to quality instruction and the latest gear, you’ll see why we’re the go-to destination in the Tampa Bay St Petersburg area for wing foiling enthusiasts. Reserve your beginner lesson now and start your wing foiling adventure with us!
How do the lessons operate?
**Lesson 1**
In the very first lesson, we’ll spend the first 45min on the beach teaching you how to setup the gear, manage the wing and how to position your body on the board. Once you feel comfortable with that, we’ll head into deep water and your instructor will train you from a Jet ski while he teaches you how to taxi the board upwind. You will most likely go downwind at first, once you get too far downwind, your instructor will bring you back upwind to continue training.
**Lesson 2**
We highly recommend setting up a tow foil session behind the jet ski on a no wind day to really dial in the skills needed to ride the foil. Once you have masters this we go back to the wing on another windy day.
**Lesson 3**
At this stage, we’ll be working more on upwind taxi riding and how to generate enough speed to try to ride the hydrofoil. This can take a little time and so we just keep working with you, bringing you back upwind each time you go downwind until you learn to stay upwind with your gear and you start riding the hydrofoil more consistently.
What makes us the best in the business?
- The only official IKO affiliated center in the Tampa Bay area, that adheres to all the IKO safety standards providing all the necessary gear and support for lessons at no extra cost.
- You are getting personal training from a highly experienced instructor who has had thousands of hours or training, this means a much faster, safer progression for you.
- We are the only outfit in the area that provides radio communication support, this means your instructor is never shouting at you while you are learning and you can get instruction even if you are over a mile away from your instructor.
- We can provide you with top quality gear at a reasonable cost and the knowledge you’ll need, once you are ready to start training on your own with your own equipment.
- We provide jet ski support for all intermediate and advanced lessons at no extra cost.
- We provide wetsuits, booties, flotation vests and helmets for all your lessons at no extra cost!
- We will never hold you back during a lesson, if you progress faster than the average person, we will keep pushing you to get you the fastest progression for your skill level, keeping safety first!
## Weather Forecast
Take a look at the weather forecast and determine what days you may be available to do lesson. In the Gorge we typically need around 15kt+ to be able to Wing foil, so look for higher wind periods in the day and book through our online booking system accordingly. If you’re not sure, just give us call and we’ll be happy to help you book over the phone.

My 15 year old son had an incredible 3 day experience with SA Kitesurf Adventures. After just 3 lessons he went from never having kitesurfed to sailing across the water like a pro. Our instructor Dale was amazing and our son came off the water each day totally excited from his experience. He can’t wait to go back kitesurfing with Dale. We would give 6 stars if we could.

Great experience. Have had an interest in trying kite surfing for a while. Found out I was going to Sarasota recently for a trip that was going to have some down time around required events. On a whim, I contacted Dale to see if there was a way to fit some lessons in around my (fairly constrained) schedule and he was very helpful in figuring out how to make some intro lessons work. Dale’s instruction is top-notch. I am brand new to the sport and being tethered to the kite took a little mental getting used to. Dale took time to make sure I remained comfortable as we advanced through the lessons and I felt thoroughly prepared for each step up. For anyone even thinking about kite surfing, I recommend you go try. It was a great experience and I plan to stick with it.

Amazing experience with Dale! Great instructor, very knowledgeable, and made me feel completely safe on the water. With his help, I landed my first jumps — huge milestone for me. 100% recommend!

If you want to learn kitesurfing Dale at SA Kitesurf Adventures is the person to see. He is very patient and clear with instructions, he has excellent equipment and his safety training is outstanding! I would highly recommend him !!

I just finished my first Foil lesson and it was an awesome experience. Dale had me up and riding way faster than I expected. He broke everything down in a simple, easy-to-understand way.
His coaching, patience, and ability to explain technique made all the difference. If you’re thinking about getting into foiling, I highly recommend taking a lesson with him. It will save you time and frustration.
[Tom M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110789184058697690766/reviews)7 months ago
One of the best sessions I’ve had on the water was with Dale coaching me through toe side riding and basics of jumps. Great resource for lessons – I will be back!
[Anna S.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101438546355852146484/reviews)10 months ago
Probably my most favorite kite lesson I had so far! Even though the wind wasn’t the strongest or maybe just because I was able to learn many new things and improve a lot!
Thanks again for another amazing day out on the kite board.

Unbelievably fun experience!!! I’m a total beginner and as a woman, kitesurfing felt a little challenging but Dale made everything (including my many mistakes) funny and doable. Got up for a few seconds a few times on my second lesson and I’m hooked! I highly recommend SA Kitesurf!.

Dale was excellent!
[Stewart P.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100285456603723779640/reviews)2 years ago
I’ve had 3 or 4 lessons in several countries and nothing compares to lessons with SAK
Dale is in direct communication while your kiting via as small walkie-talkie on your vest. This leads to instant feedback on your riding and prepping for a turnaround which I needed to learn. I can confidently say I got it after 1 lesson and perfected on the second. Also brushed up on safety procedures which I needed.
[David L.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114321307904688745807/reviews)2 years ago
Dale is the man!! He really cares about his students and does his best to make sure that they complete their goals for each session!
[Patrick M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101313480370516300592/reviews)2 years ago
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!
[Craig L.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109266576002062960536/reviews)2 years ago
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
[Ari M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101993509590422405284/reviews)2 years ago
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.
[Jill B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108966870941428358845/reviews)2 years ago
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.
[Gregg B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113248618411813920910/reviews)2 years ago
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 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!

[Brian H.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103119398009586589699/reviews)4 years ago
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.
[Gareth T.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112387269530096374310/reviews)4 years ago
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.

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!

### FAQ's
##### Most frequent questions and answers
Who can kiteboard?
You should be at least 12 years of age to learn to kiteboard, and you are never too old. In regard to fitness, people of all shapes and sizes kiteboard. Strength (especially in the core), flexibility, and endurance will help you to progress more quickly in the sport, but are not prerequisites for learning. In fact, kiteboarding is a great way to get into shape! The only physical requirement is the ability to swim. Beyond that, we match the appropriate kite to your size and the wind conditions. In a nutshell, with the same wind speed, the bigger the person, the bigger the kite, the smaller the person, the smaller the kite. Don’t worry, you’re not going to fly away. You’ll be perfectly safe as long as you listen to your instructor.
Do you provide equipment for lessons?
Yes! We provide all the latest equipment including, kites, harnesses, floatation vests, wetsuits, shoes and kiteboards for all your kiteboarding lessons. We also provide two way radio communication so that you stay connected to your instructor at all times and either a boat or a jet ski to transport you upwind when you get to the water start stage. We do recommend bringing your own wetsuit and water shoes if you have your own.
What do I need to bring?
We do provide wetsuits but we recommend bringing your own as sizing can be an issue for some people. Also, water shoes (if you own them), hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and water. We provide the rest!
Why should I take lessons from an IKO affiliated kiteboarding center?
IKO, International Kiteboarding Organization, is the world’s largest kiteboard training organization. To become an IKO affiliated center, kiteboarding schools must meet high standards of set criteria that ensure their commitment to quality and safety. IKO instructors are trained to teach using IKO’s safe, progressive method which helps you to reach your goals faster and with confidence. We do not recommend taking lessons from your kiteboarding friends or schools without certified instructors.
How long will it take me to ride on the board?
That all depends on you! Each person’s kiteboarding progression is different. If you excel at the sport, we will not hold you back, and if you need more time to feel comfortable, we will not push you. On average it takes about 6 hours to stand up on the board and ride a short distance. We recommend 12.5 hours, however, to increase your confidence, ensure safety and become fully independent.
The IKO progression is as follows: In your first lesson you will learn kite setup, safety and begin to master your kite control. In your second lesson you will begin to use the power of the kite to pull your body through the water and learn the body dragging technique. In your third lesson you will put the board on your feet and attempt your first water starts. Most people can only ride in one direction at this point and don’t necessarily feel confident to go out on their own. After 12 hours of training you should be riding in both directions and will fully understand safety and self-rescue techniques to avoid emergency situations.
Short on time? We can combine two lessons into one day and fast track you to the board!
What are the differences between private, semi-private and group lessons?
Private lessons consist of one student, one instructor, and one kite. Semi-Private lessons consist of two students, one instructor, and two kites. Group lessons consist of two students, one instructor, and one kite. Group lessons cost less than private lessons, so bring your friends, family members, or partners! A maximum of three people on a discovery lesson. All equipment is provided for your kiteboarding course.

Dale was absolutely incredible. Night and day instructor above any I have ever worked with. I’ve been Kiting since 2007 and got him set up to teach my son and he had him riding up wind his first lesson. He is considerate thoughtful. The location is absolutely epic and the spot is perfect for beginners. His location is night and day better than the event site and way better. I would recommend him and his team without hesitation.

Can be costly but it’s really worth it! Great instructions and awesome people. Sold me some quality gear as well. Patient when I asked many questions.
I came back for my first solo (non lesson) and the gusty winds threw me off my board. Alex tossed it 40feet my direction while demonstrating for his lesson.

Amazing place! This has to be the perfect place to learn wing foiling. Not the Hood River crowds, very laid back and easy in/out with sandbar to shelter on. It’s more upriver and dryer climate so there is more sun here even though only 18 minutes up the road. The wind is also steady and last all day! Plus there is a fantastic coffee shop and winery restaurant above!
My daughter and I took lesson with Dale. He’s very supportive, showed us the area. Great tips. My daughter is new to wing foiling and had great success. She was flying on her weaker side several times. I was also foiling as lesson went on.
They showed us how to access the area so we can come back other times to practice. I’m looking forward to more lessons! Thanks again!

This is a great school for learning to kite. I started my journey with them a year ago and I feel very confident with the skills I learned from them. Dale and the boys, Alex and Ayden, do a great job and go the extra mile to help you progress and enjoy your time in the process. I highly recommend going to SAK for leaning over some shady hoodriver kite schools, well worth the extra travel time if you are coming from Oregon.
[Ben Elliott](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105369427554538250144/reviews)3 months ago
Went in a group and took a lesson with Aiden, Dale and Alex–was a great experience, was great to work on kite control and try our turns at riding on the board. Great folks, highly would recommend if you’re thinking about pulling the trigger!

Great setup and lesson. Dale is amazing in teaching wing foil with boat and radio assist. Learned so much from this lesson to get me progressing in this journey.

If you are looking for a kiteboarding school that combines expert, upbeat, and patient instructors, all the gear you need, and a stellar location; look no further than SA Kitesurf Adventures! Learning to kiteboard has been a decades-long dream for me. I remember getting my first kiteboarding magazine as a child and since then have longed for the opportunity to get into this exciting sport. I spent 3 days with Dale, Greta and the team learning the theory and practice of kiteboarding and by the end of those three days was kiting proficiently, riding the board downwind in both directions, honing my water starts, launching and landing the kite in various conditions, and having a blast while doing so. Both of my instructors were warm, explained things clearly and were stoked when I made incremental successes. Through the learning process, they would give me meaningful and clear feedback on how I could continue to improve and met me where I was as a student. Over the years I have had instructors in rock climbing, paragliding, scuba diving, and several other sports. I know what good instruction feels like and these guys really met and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them!!!

An excellent kiting school! It’s in a really chill spot, away from the event site, and is a beginner friendly spot. I’ve taken a number of lessons at other places before I came here and they were easily able to get up to speed with where I’m at with my kiting skills. My instructor was Aidan and he was able to help help me on riding upwind and doing transitions a lot more consistently. He even taught me to ride toeside which I didn’t even believe I could do since I’m a beginner. Prices are super reasonable as well. Dale is also great, fun to chat with, and super kind! Would definitely recommend this school!
[Ali MirRasekhian](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106024307384214549489/reviews)4 years ago
Took 2 days of lessons with Dale and had a great time. He got me up riding in our first session and just continued to help me improve through the weekend. Had an incredible time and he didn’t a great job with ongoing coaching. Couldn’t recommend enough
[Scott Hawken](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113856706681956271652/reviews)4 years ago
Highest recommendation for SA Kites, both for kiteboarding lessons and purchasing gear. They run a great business with an awesome sense of community. Everyone there is helpful and excited to make you better.
Three of us each took 5 lessons in Lyle as complete beginners. We made a ton of progress and had a lot of fun. Afterward, we felt safe and competent enough to go out on our own; we have since been kiting together and having a great time. We worked with several instructions, all of whom were excellent, and primarily with Dale, Edwin, and Tanner. Erika was super helpful and organized working with our schedules and wind conditions.
For gear, Dale gave us competitively priced quotes for new and gently used gear that got us started quickly and easily. As beginners, we’ve had a lot of questions, all of which have been answered thoroughly.
Overall, the team at SAK has been a valuable resource for getting us into a new sport and a joy to be around; I can’t recommend them highly enough.
[Stephen Kaczmarek](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112019925751915592465/reviews)4 years ago
This place is amazing! Flat water, huge sand bar, no consequences with onshore wind, great instructors, no crowds! Instructors were amazing and gear was top notch! Skip the event center in Hood River and take your lessons here! You won’t regret it!!!!
[Dwain Henderson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106367990209564625817/reviews)4 years ago
Had four classes with SA Kite Boarding and it was awesome. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient and like to see the students progress. Would suggest this company and instructors to anyone who is thinking of taking classes. Edwin was my primary instructor and he is a class act. Very professional, awesome humor and technically proficient in all aspects. Good work team, I’ll be back for sure.
[Scott Winters](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108427416418139656438/reviews)4 years ago
Great experience for a trio of first timers. Erika was excellent in communicating and explaining the classes and setting us up for success. Dale, Edwin, and Kathy were awesome getting all of us boarding in both directions. Will be coming back. Location was much less busy than up in Hood River. Nice sand bar.
[Ayman Zaki](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107883584427446037655/reviews)4 years ago
These guys are the real deal!! Super friendly staff and solid instructors. I was impressed with how much progress I was able to make during the session; they neither slack nor push beyond your limit and the session is tailored to your skill level and what you need to focus on. I highly recommend them & definitely going back whenever I’m around the area.
[Seth Andersen](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103644255335481699565/reviews)4 years ago
Just finished 3 days of instruction with SA Kite in Lyle. We had limited time in the area and they were great about working us in the schedule to get as much time on the water as possible. It was nice to have different instructors to be exposed to a variety of techniques and tricks. Edwin, Tanner, Dale and Erika were great!
[Paul winterton](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117882275208169317516/reviews)4 years ago
Spent three sessions under the expert tutelage of Dale. Outstanding, attentive, safe, and appropriately calibrated to my skill and needs. I’m already booked again to return at the end of summer, 2022.
Definite quantum leap in my learning curve, and so enjoyed the time I spent with Dale and Erika. Do not miss this opportunity with these experts.
[David Patrick Lorenz](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114533506301531118431/reviews)4 years ago
I had an awesome two days with Dale. This was my 8th time out kitesurfing but my first in Tampa with SAK. Dale was the best of the 4 instructors I have had. He had me confidently riding upwind and working on turns by the end of our second day. In addition to the excellent instruction, I appreciated the time spent on kite set up/take down and on safety. Amazing location, looking forward to coming back.
[Travis Hauan](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101043229553238765710/reviews)5 years ago
Absolutely amazing experience! Owners were super friendly and helpful, the instructor was a blast and was very good. I had done beginner lesson two years ago and did a back-to-back lesson this time. I was up, riding upwind and was starting to get smoother transitions by the end. Great place, highly recommended.

I really enjoyed learning to kiteboard with SA Kitesurf. Dale is an awesome instructor! Highly recommend.

Dale is a great guy and great teacher with a laid back personality. Had a great time learning to get up and ride.
After going out with another teacher from another school, I realized that Dale is in it for the money.
[Preston Morrison](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106364648771610965631/reviews)6 years ago
Took lessons with SA Kitesurf in Lyle, WA and had an incredible experience. The instructors are very experienced, patient, and they are very safety oriented. Dale and Erika were incredibly helpful and easy to work with. An absolutely beautiful location in the Columbia Gorge. I had Tanner for my first lesson and he went above and beyond in his guidance and feedback. You guys rock!!! I’d highly recommend them to anyone wanting to get into the sport.
[Darrin Clay](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112952269488618441222/reviews)7 years ago
I highly recommend SA Kitesurf Adventure Kiteboarding School. I was up riding in a weekend!
Coming from Seattle they were very flexible with the schedule and warned us in advance when the conditions were predicted to be not good for the first session, I opted to do a back to back afternoon and evening session on Saturday, which they didn’t recommend but I was stubborn because family came to watch. In retrospect it would have been better to move to another day or have at least a longer break between sessions. Because my brain knew what to do (thanks to Dale over the radio in the helmet) just my arms and legs were jelly by the second session. Whereas on the Sunday morning session I wasn’t as tired.
Dale was an awesome instructor. He has a calm reassuring voice like Crocodile Dundee when you’re about to panic. As well as having knowledge and tricks to learning that I had not seen anywhere on YouTube. I came in thinking I wasn’t going to learn more than what I already saw but I was very wrong and the instant situational feedback made me progress so much faster.
The equipment was great. The radio headset were a must when taking a class. I wouldn’t have thought that the zodiac would be as well. However it was because the zodiac made it so we could go way upwind in the deep water for nice long downwind runs where you’re up on the board, as it is whole another level to ride upwind. Without the zodiac you would have to walk upwind with the kite for every run, giving you less time, energy and distance to practice.
The Lyle location with its wide flat waist deep sand bar worked great for the first part of learning to control the kite with one hand while getting your feet on the board and getting the beginning water start. A short crowded beach like Hood River would have been a lot harder and less safe.
The photo option is well worth it too, all attached were taken by Dale.

## FAQ's
##### Most frequent questions and answers
Who can kiteboard?
You should be at least 12 years of age to learn to kiteboard, and you are never too old. In regard to fitness, people of all shapes and sizes kiteboard. Strength (especially in the core), flexibility, and endurance will help you to progress more quickly in the sport, but are not prerequisites for learning. In fact, kiteboarding is a great way to get into shape! The only physical requirement is the ability to swim. Beyond that, we match the appropriate kite to your size and the wind conditions. In a nutshell, with the same wind speed, the bigger the person, the bigger the kite, the smaller the person, the smaller the kite. Don’t worry, you’re not going to fly away. You’ll be perfectly safe as long as you listen to your instructor.
Do you provide equipment for lessons?
Yes! We provide all the latest equipment including, kites, harnesses, floatation vests, wetsuits, shoes and kiteboards for all your kiteboarding lessons. We also provide radio communication so that you stay connected to your instructor at all times and either a boat or a jet ski to transport you upwind when you get to the water start stage. We do recommend bringing your own wetsuit and water shoes if you have your own.
What do I need to bring?
We do provide wetsuits but we recommend bringing your own as sizing can be an issue for some people. Also, water shoes (if you own them), hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and water. We provide the rest!
Why should I take lessons from an IKO affiliated kiteboarding center?
IKO, International Kiteboarding Organization, is the world’s largest kiteboard training organization. To become an IKO affiliated center, kiteboarding schools must meet high standards of set criteria that ensure their commitment to quality and safety. IKO instructors are trained to teach using IKO’s safe, progressive method which helps you to reach your goals faster and with confidence. We do not recommend taking lessons from your kiteboarding friends or schools without certified instructors.
How long will it take me to ride on the board?
That all depends on you! Each person’s kiteboarding progression is different. If you excel at the sport, we will not hold you back, and if you need more time to feel comfortable, we will not push you. On average it takes about 6 hours to stand up on the board and ride a short distance. We recommend 12.5 hours, however, to increase your confidence, ensure safety and become fully independent.
The IKO progression is as follows: In your first lesson you will learn kite setup, safety and begin to master your kite control. In your second lesson you will begin to use the power of the kite to pull your body through the water and learn the body dragging technique. In your third lesson you will put the board on your feet and attempt your first water starts. Most people can only ride in one direction at this point and don’t necessarily feel confident to go out on their own. After 12 hours of training you should be riding in both directions and will fully understand safety and self-rescue techniques to avoid emergency situations.
Short on time? We can combine two lessons into one day and fast track you to the board!
What are the differences between private, semi-private and group lessons?
Private lessons consist of one student, one instructor, and one kite. Semi-Private lessons consist of two students, one instructor, and two kites. Group lessons consist of two students, one instructor, and one kite. Group lessons cost less than private lessons, so bring your friends, family members, or partners! A maximum of three people on a discovery lesson. All equipment is provided for your kiteboarding course.

Amazing place! This has to be the perfect place to learn wing foiling. Not the Hood River crowds, very laid back and easy in/out with sandbar to shelter on. It’s more upriver and dryer climate so there is more sun here even though only 18 minutes up the road. The wind is also steady and last all day! Plus there is a fantastic coffee shop and winery restaurant above!
My daughter and I took lesson with Dale. He’s very supportive, showed us the area. Great tips. My daughter is new to wing foiling and had great success. She was flying on her weaker side several times. I was also foiling as lesson went on.
They showed us how to access the area so we can come back other times to practice. I’m looking forward to more lessons! Thanks again!

Great team, great spot to learn – sandbar was such a huge help. All the instructors were very patient, knowledgeable, and articulate.

If you are looking for a kiteboarding school that combines expert, upbeat, and patient instructors, all the gear you need, and a stellar location; look no further than SA Kitesurf Adventures! Learning to kiteboard has been a decades-long dream for me. I remember getting my first kiteboarding magazine as a child and since then have longed for the opportunity to get into this exciting sport. I spent 3 days with Dale, Greta and the team learning the theory and practice of kiteboarding and by the end of those three days was kiting proficiently, riding the board downwind in both directions, honing my water starts, launching and landing the kite in various conditions, and having a blast while doing so. Both of my instructors were warm, explained things clearly and were stoked when I made incremental successes. Through the learning process, they would give me meaningful and clear feedback on how I could continue to improve and met me where I was as a student. Over the years I have had instructors in rock climbing, paragliding, scuba diving, and several other sports. I know what good instruction feels like and these guys really met and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them!!!

An excellent kiting school! It’s in a really chill spot, away from the event site, and is a beginner friendly spot. I’ve taken a number of lessons at other places before I came here and they were easily able to get up to speed with where I’m at with my kiting skills. My instructor was Aidan and he was able to help help me on riding upwind and doing transitions a lot more consistently. He even taught me to ride toeside which I didn’t even believe I could do since I’m a beginner. Prices are super reasonable as well. Dale is also great, fun to chat with, and super kind! Would definitely recommend this school!

Took 2 days of lessons with Dale and had a great time. He got me up riding in our first session and just continued to help me improve through the weekend. Had an incredible time and he didn’t a great job with ongoing coaching. Couldn’t recommend enough
[Scott Hawken](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113856706681956271652/reviews)4 years ago
Highest recommendation for SA Kites, both for kiteboarding lessons and purchasing gear. They run a great business with an awesome sense of community. Everyone there is helpful and excited to make you better.
Three of us each took 5 lessons in Lyle as complete beginners. We made a ton of progress and had a lot of fun. Afterward, we felt safe and competent enough to go out on our own; we have since been kiting together and having a great time. We worked with several instructions, all of whom were excellent, and primarily with Dale, Edwin, and Tanner. Erika was super helpful and organized working with our schedules and wind conditions.
For gear, Dale gave us competitively priced quotes for new and gently used gear that got us started quickly and easily. As beginners, we’ve had a lot of questions, all of which have been answered thoroughly.
Overall, the team at SAK has been a valuable resource for getting us into a new sport and a joy to be around; I can’t recommend them highly enough.
[Stephen Kaczmarek](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112019925751915592465/reviews)4 years ago
This place is amazing! Flat water, huge sand bar, no consequences with onshore wind, great instructors, no crowds! Instructors were amazing and gear was top notch! Skip the event center in Hood River and take your lessons here! You won’t regret it!!!!
[Dwain Henderson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106367990209564625817/reviews)4 years ago
Had four classes with SA Kite Boarding and it was awesome. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient and like to see the students progress. Would suggest this company and instructors to anyone who is thinking of taking classes. Edwin was my primary instructor and he is a class act. Very professional, awesome humor and technically proficient in all aspects. Good work team, I’ll be back for sure.
[Scott Winters](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108427416418139656438/reviews)4 years ago
Great experience for a trio of first timers. Erika was excellent in communicating and explaining the classes and setting us up for success. Dale, Edwin, and Kathy were awesome getting all of us boarding in both directions. Will be coming back. Location was much less busy than up in Hood River. Nice sand bar.
[Ayman Zaki](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107883584427446037655/reviews)4 years ago
These guys are the real deal!! Super friendly staff and solid instructors. I was impressed with how much progress I was able to make during the session; they neither slack nor push beyond your limit and the session is tailored to your skill level and what you need to focus on. I highly recommend them & definitely going back whenever I’m around the area.
[Seth Andersen](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103644255335481699565/reviews)4 years ago
Just finished 3 days of instruction with SA Kite in Lyle. We had limited time in the area and they were great about working us in the schedule to get as much time on the water as possible. It was nice to have different instructors to be exposed to a variety of techniques and tricks. Edwin, Tanner, Dale and Erika were great!
[Paul winterton](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117882275208169317516/reviews)4 years ago
Spent three sessions under the expert tutelage of Dale. Outstanding, attentive, safe, and appropriately calibrated to my skill and needs. I’m already booked again to return at the end of summer, 2022.
Definite quantum leap in my learning curve, and so enjoyed the time I spent with Dale and Erika. Do not miss this opportunity with these experts.
[David Patrick Lorenz](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114533506301531118431/reviews)4 years ago
I had an awesome two days with Dale. This was my 8th time out kitesurfing but my first in Tampa with SAK. Dale was the best of the 4 instructors I have had. He had me confidently riding upwind and working on turns by the end of our second day. In addition to the excellent instruction, I appreciated the time spent on kite set up/take down and on safety. Amazing location, looking forward to coming back.
[Travis Hauan](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101043229553238765710/reviews)5 years ago
Absolutely amazing experience! Owners were super friendly and helpful, the instructor was a blast and was very good. I had done beginner lesson two years ago and did a back-to-back lesson this time. I was up, riding upwind and was starting to get smoother transitions by the end. Great place, highly recommended.
[Roman Bogza](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110360028085013152341/reviews)5 years ago
I really enjoyed learning to kiteboard with SA Kitesurf. Dale is an awesome instructor! Highly recommend.
[Judd Alexander](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115312474913210485192/reviews)6 years ago
Dale is a great guy and great teacher with a laid back personality. Had a great time learning to get up and ride.
After going out with another teacher from another school, I realized that Dale is in it for the money.
[Preston Morrison](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106364648771610965631/reviews)6 years ago
Took lessons with SA Kitesurf in Lyle, WA and had an incredible experience. The instructors are very experienced, patient, and they are very safety oriented. Dale and Erika were incredibly helpful and easy to work with. An absolutely beautiful location in the Columbia Gorge. I had Tanner for my first lesson and he went above and beyond in his guidance and feedback. You guys rock!!! I’d highly recommend them to anyone wanting to get into the sport.
[Darrin Clay](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112952269488618441222/reviews)7 years ago
I highly recommend SA Kitesurf Adventure Kiteboarding School. I was up riding in a weekend!
Coming from Seattle they were very flexible with the schedule and warned us in advance when the conditions were predicted to be not good for the first session, I opted to do a back to back afternoon and evening session on Saturday, which they didn’t recommend but I was stubborn because family came to watch. In retrospect it would have been better to move to another day or have at least a longer break between sessions. Because my brain knew what to do (thanks to Dale over the radio in the helmet) just my arms and legs were jelly by the second session. Whereas on the Sunday morning session I wasn’t as tired.
Dale was an awesome instructor. He has a calm reassuring voice like Crocodile Dundee when you’re about to panic. As well as having knowledge and tricks to learning that I had not seen anywhere on YouTube. I came in thinking I wasn’t going to learn more than what I already saw but I was very wrong and the instant situational feedback made me progress so much faster.
The equipment was great. The radio headset were a must when taking a class. I wouldn’t have thought that the zodiac would be as well. However it was because the zodiac made it so we could go way upwind in the deep water for nice long downwind runs where you’re up on the board, as it is whole another level to ride upwind. Without the zodiac you would have to walk upwind with the kite for every run, giving you less time, energy and distance to practice.
The Lyle location with its wide flat waist deep sand bar worked great for the first part of learning to control the kite with one hand while getting your feet on the board and getting the beginning water start. A short crowded beach like Hood River would have been a lot harder and less safe.
The photo option is well worth it too, all attached were taken by Dale.

### FAQ's
##### Most frequent questions and answers
Who can kiteboard?
You should be at least 12 years of age to learn to kiteboard, and you are never too old. In regard to fitness, people of all shapes and sizes kiteboard. Strength (especially in the core), flexibility, and endurance will help you to progress more quickly in the sport, but are not prerequisites for learning. In fact, kiteboarding is a great way to get into shape! The only physical requirement is the ability to swim. Beyond that, we match the appropriate kite to your size and the wind conditions. In a nutshell, with the same wind speed, the bigger the person, the bigger the kite, the smaller the person, the smaller the kite. Don’t worry, you’re not going to fly away. You’ll be perfectly safe as long as you listen to your instructor.
Do you provide equipment for lessons?
Yes! We provide all the latest equipment including, kites, harnesses, floatation vests, wetsuits, shoes and kiteboards for all your kiteboarding lessons. We also provide two way radio communication so that you stay connected to your instructor at all times and either a boat or a jet ski to transport you upwind when you get to the water start stage. We do recommend bringing your own wetsuit and water shoes if you have your own.
What do I need to bring?
We do provide wetsuits but we recommend bringing your own as sizing can be an issue for some people. Also, water shoes (if you own them), hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and water. We provide the rest!
Why should I take lessons from an IKO affiliated kiteboarding center?
IKO, International Kiteboarding Organization, is the world’s largest kiteboard training organization. To become an IKO affiliated center, kiteboarding schools must meet high standards of set criteria that ensure their commitment to quality and safety. IKO instructors are trained to teach using IKO’s safe, progressive method which helps you to reach your goals faster and with confidence. We do not recommend taking lessons from your kiteboarding friends or schools without certified instructors.
How long will it take me to ride on the board?
That all depends on you! Each person’s kiteboarding progression is different. If you excel at the sport, we will not hold you back, and if you need more time to feel comfortable, we will not push you. On average it takes about 6 hours to stand up on the board and ride a short distance. We recommend 12.5 hours, however, to increase your confidence, ensure safety and become fully independent.
The IKO progression is as follows: In your first lesson you will learn kite setup, safety and begin to master your kite control. In your second lesson you will begin to use the power of the kite to pull your body through the water and learn the body dragging technique. In your third lesson you will put the board on your feet and attempt your first water starts. Most people can only ride in one direction at this point and don’t necessarily feel confident to go out on their own. After 12 hours of training you should be riding in both directions and will fully understand safety and self-rescue techniques to avoid emergency situations.
Short on time? We can combine two lessons into one day and fast track you to the board!
What are the differences between private, semi-private and group lessons?
Private lessons consist of one student, one instructor, and one kite. Semi-Private lessons consist of two students, one instructor, and two kites. Group lessons consist of two students, one instructor, and one kite. Group lessons cost less than private lessons, so bring your friends, family members, or partners! A maximum of three people on a discovery lesson. All equipment is provided for your kiteboarding course.

# About South Africa
South Africa has been famously referred to as the rainbow nation because it is made up of so many diverse cultures and religions. Contained within South Africa’s borders are Zulu, Xhosa, Pedi, Tswana, Ndebele, Khoisan, Hindu, Muslim, and Afrikaner people to name but a few. All of these people are united by calling South Africa home, and therefore their lives all contribute to forming a part of the country’s heritage, identity and culture. Understanding that South Africa is composed of all these various influences is essential for helping South Africans to understand and respect each other and to learn from each other’s cultural practices. This is part of the healing that democracy has brought after culture was used to divide South Africans in the past.

#### About Wing Foiling
Wing Foiling has captivated enthusiasts worldwide! Look out across the Columbia River on a windy day, and you’ll see wing foilers smoothly sailing over the swell, their joy evident in their beaming smiles. This exhilarating new wind sport is a sight to behold.
**Let’s explore wing foiling in The Gorge**: What is Wing Foiling? It’s a fusion of kitesurfing, windsurfing, and surfing. The main draw? Utilizing the ocean’s energy to carve through the water and have a blast. It’s less about speed or high jumps and more about the sheer pleasure of water riding. Picture yourself almost levitating as you glide above the water, hitting speeds up to 30 mph with ease.
Why Wing Foiling? Hydrofoil technology lets you soar even in under 10 knots of wind. Setting up for wing foiling is easier than other wind sports, reducing strain on your hands and body. It’s likened to skiing on fresh powder—silent, simple, and thrilling.
**A Bit of History:** Tony Logosz initiated hand-held wing tests in 2015, enabling immediate foiling without traditional windsurfing sails or kites. Soon after, Slingshot released the Slingwing, and other models followed, establishing wing foiling as a unique sport.
**Get Ready to Ride:** Sign up for a lesson, collect your equipment (wing, foil, board), and venture into the waters with SAK. Master wing handling on land, learn to tack against the wind, and activate the foil. Before long, you’ll be soaring with ease, navigating the Columbia Rivers swells. If you’re seeking an exciting escapade, wing foiling is calling your name.
Secure a spot in our beginner wing foiling course, and we’ll outfit you with all the specialized equipment, customized for your size and weight to match the wind conditions. Each lesson spans at least two and a half hours, encompassing a wide array of skills—from setup and dry land wing handling to understanding wind theory and sailing points. We’ll support you as you learn to cruise on your knees, transition smoothly to standing, and manage your speed and direction while aboard. Plus, you’ll experience the exhilaration of your first foil lifts.
Every lesson is enhanced with dingy support and radio communication, included at no extra charge, to boost your learning and ensure your safety. With our commitment to quality instruction and the latest gear, you’ll see why we’re the go-to destination in the Columbia River Gorge area for wing foiling enthusiasts. Reserve your beginner
#### About our lessons
Our lessons are about 2.5 hours long. We start by teaching you all the basics of how to setup the gear and handle the wing on land. Once you feel comfortable, we’ll start training you on how to stand on the foil board and how to sail in an upwind direction. If you go downwind, we have a dingy to help bring you back upwind. Once you are maintaining balance on the board, your instructor will teach you how to start riding on the foil. If you choose a wing course, we’ll have the opportunity to try a tow foil lesson behind the dingy on a no wind day. Lessons can be a lot more fun with a buddy so encourage a friend to join you.

Dale was absolutely incredible. Night and day instructor above any I have ever worked with. I’ve been Kiting since 2007 and got him set up to teach my son and he had him riding up wind his first lesson. He is considerate thoughtful. The location is absolutely epic and the spot is perfect for beginners. His location is night and day better than the event site and way better. I would recommend him and his team without hesitation.

Can be costly but it’s really worth it! Great instructions and awesome people. Sold me some quality gear as well. Patient when I asked many questions.
I came back for my first solo (non lesson) and the gusty winds threw me off my board. Alex tossed it 40feet my direction while demonstrating for his lesson.
[Zon Win](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107401871423986025008/reviews)3 months ago
Amazing place! This has to be the perfect place to learn wing foiling. Not the Hood River crowds, very laid back and easy in/out with sandbar to shelter on. It’s more upriver and dryer climate so there is more sun here even though only 18 minutes up the road. The wind is also steady and last all day! Plus there is a fantastic coffee shop and winery restaurant above!
My daughter and I took lesson with Dale. He’s very supportive, showed us the area. Great tips. My daughter is new to wing foiling and had great success. She was flying on her weaker side several times. I was also foiling as lesson went on.
They showed us how to access the area so we can come back other times to practice. I’m looking forward to more lessons! Thanks again!

This is a great school for learning to kite. I started my journey with them a year ago and I feel very confident with the skills I learned from them. Dale and the boys, Alex and Ayden, do a great job and go the extra mile to help you progress and enjoy your time in the process. I highly recommend going to SAK for leaning over some shady hoodriver kite schools, well worth the extra travel time if you are coming from Oregon.

Went in a group and took a lesson with Aiden, Dale and Alex–was a great experience, was great to work on kite control and try our turns at riding on the board. Great folks, highly would recommend if you’re thinking about pulling the trigger!

Great setup and lesson. Dale is amazing in teaching wing foil with boat and radio assist. Learned so much from this lesson to get me progressing in this journey.

If you are looking for a kiteboarding school that combines expert, upbeat, and patient instructors, all the gear you need, and a stellar location; look no further than SA Kitesurf Adventures! Learning to kiteboard has been a decades-long dream for me. I remember getting my first kiteboarding magazine as a child and since then have longed for the opportunity to get into this exciting sport. I spent 3 days with Dale, Greta and the team learning the theory and practice of kiteboarding and by the end of those three days was kiting proficiently, riding the board downwind in both directions, honing my water starts, launching and landing the kite in various conditions, and having a blast while doing so. Both of my instructors were warm, explained things clearly and were stoked when I made incremental successes. Through the learning process, they would give me meaningful and clear feedback on how I could continue to improve and met me where I was as a student. Over the years I have had instructors in rock climbing, paragliding, scuba diving, and several other sports. I know what good instruction feels like and these guys really met and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them!!!

An excellent kiting school! It’s in a really chill spot, away from the event site, and is a beginner friendly spot. I’ve taken a number of lessons at other places before I came here and they were easily able to get up to speed with where I’m at with my kiting skills. My instructor was Aidan and he was able to help help me on riding upwind and doing transitions a lot more consistently. He even taught me to ride toeside which I didn’t even believe I could do since I’m a beginner. Prices are super reasonable as well. Dale is also great, fun to chat with, and super kind! Would definitely recommend this school!

Took 2 days of lessons with Dale and had a great time. He got me up riding in our first session and just continued to help me improve through the weekend. Had an incredible time and he didn’t a great job with ongoing coaching. Couldn’t recommend enough
[Scott Hawken](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113856706681956271652/reviews)4 years ago
Highest recommendation for SA Kites, both for kiteboarding lessons and purchasing gear. They run a great business with an awesome sense of community. Everyone there is helpful and excited to make you better.
Three of us each took 5 lessons in Lyle as complete beginners. We made a ton of progress and had a lot of fun. Afterward, we felt safe and competent enough to go out on our own; we have since been kiting together and having a great time. We worked with several instructions, all of whom were excellent, and primarily with Dale, Edwin, and Tanner. Erika was super helpful and organized working with our schedules and wind conditions.
For gear, Dale gave us competitively priced quotes for new and gently used gear that got us started quickly and easily. As beginners, we’ve had a lot of questions, all of which have been answered thoroughly.
Overall, the team at SAK has been a valuable resource for getting us into a new sport and a joy to be around; I can’t recommend them highly enough.
[Stephen Kaczmarek](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112019925751915592465/reviews)4 years ago
This place is amazing! Flat water, huge sand bar, no consequences with onshore wind, great instructors, no crowds! Instructors were amazing and gear was top notch! Skip the event center in Hood River and take your lessons here! You won’t regret it!!!!
[Dwain Henderson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106367990209564625817/reviews)4 years ago
Had four classes with SA Kite Boarding and it was awesome. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient and like to see the students progress. Would suggest this company and instructors to anyone who is thinking of taking classes. Edwin was my primary instructor and he is a class act. Very professional, awesome humor and technically proficient in all aspects. Good work team, I’ll be back for sure.
[Scott Winters](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108427416418139656438/reviews)4 years ago
Great experience for a trio of first timers. Erika was excellent in communicating and explaining the classes and setting us up for success. Dale, Edwin, and Kathy were awesome getting all of us boarding in both directions. Will be coming back. Location was much less busy than up in Hood River. Nice sand bar.
[Ayman Zaki](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107883584427446037655/reviews)4 years ago
These guys are the real deal!! Super friendly staff and solid instructors. I was impressed with how much progress I was able to make during the session; they neither slack nor push beyond your limit and the session is tailored to your skill level and what you need to focus on. I highly recommend them & definitely going back whenever I’m around the area.
[Seth Andersen](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103644255335481699565/reviews)4 years ago
Just finished 3 days of instruction with SA Kite in Lyle. We had limited time in the area and they were great about working us in the schedule to get as much time on the water as possible. It was nice to have different instructors to be exposed to a variety of techniques and tricks. Edwin, Tanner, Dale and Erika were great!
[Paul winterton](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117882275208169317516/reviews)4 years ago
Spent three sessions under the expert tutelage of Dale. Outstanding, attentive, safe, and appropriately calibrated to my skill and needs. I’m already booked again to return at the end of summer, 2022.
Definite quantum leap in my learning curve, and so enjoyed the time I spent with Dale and Erika. Do not miss this opportunity with these experts.
[David Patrick Lorenz](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114533506301531118431/reviews)4 years ago
I had an awesome two days with Dale. This was my 8th time out kitesurfing but my first in Tampa with SAK. Dale was the best of the 4 instructors I have had. He had me confidently riding upwind and working on turns by the end of our second day. In addition to the excellent instruction, I appreciated the time spent on kite set up/take down and on safety. Amazing location, looking forward to coming back.
[Travis Hauan](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101043229553238765710/reviews)5 years ago
Absolutely amazing experience! Owners were super friendly and helpful, the instructor was a blast and was very good. I had done beginner lesson two years ago and did a back-to-back lesson this time. I was up, riding upwind and was starting to get smoother transitions by the end. Great place, highly recommended.

Dale is a great guy and great teacher with a laid back personality. Had a great time learning to get up and ride.
After going out with another teacher from another school, I realized that Dale is in it for the money.
[Preston Morrison](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106364648771610965631/reviews)6 years ago
Took lessons with SA Kitesurf in Lyle, WA and had an incredible experience. The instructors are very experienced, patient, and they are very safety oriented. Dale and Erika were incredibly helpful and easy to work with. An absolutely beautiful location in the Columbia Gorge. I had Tanner for my first lesson and he went above and beyond in his guidance and feedback. You guys rock!!! I’d highly recommend them to anyone wanting to get into the sport.
[Darrin Clay](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112952269488618441222/reviews)7 years ago
I highly recommend SA Kitesurf Adventure Kiteboarding School. I was up riding in a weekend!
Coming from Seattle they were very flexible with the schedule and warned us in advance when the conditions were predicted to be not good for the first session, I opted to do a back to back afternoon and evening session on Saturday, which they didn’t recommend but I was stubborn because family came to watch. In retrospect it would have been better to move to another day or have at least a longer break between sessions. Because my brain knew what to do (thanks to Dale over the radio in the helmet) just my arms and legs were jelly by the second session. Whereas on the Sunday morning session I wasn’t as tired.
Dale was an awesome instructor. He has a calm reassuring voice like Crocodile Dundee when you’re about to panic. As well as having knowledge and tricks to learning that I had not seen anywhere on YouTube. I came in thinking I wasn’t going to learn more than what I already saw but I was very wrong and the instant situational feedback made me progress so much faster.
The equipment was great. The radio headset were a must when taking a class. I wouldn’t have thought that the zodiac would be as well. However it was because the zodiac made it so we could go way upwind in the deep water for nice long downwind runs where you’re up on the board, as it is whole another level to ride upwind. Without the zodiac you would have to walk upwind with the kite for every run, giving you less time, energy and distance to practice.
The Lyle location with its wide flat waist deep sand bar worked great for the first part of learning to control the kite with one hand while getting your feet on the board and getting the beginning water start. A short crowded beach like Hood River would have been a lot harder and less safe.
The photo option is well worth it too, all attached were taken by Dale.

Dale was absolutely incredible. Night and day instructor above any I have ever worked with. I’ve been Kiting since 2007 and got him set up to teach my son and he had him riding up wind his first lesson. He is considerate thoughtful. The location is absolutely epic and the spot is perfect for beginners. His location is night and day better than the event site and way better. I would recommend him and his team without hesitation.

Can be costly but it’s really worth it! Great instructions and awesome people. Sold me some quality gear as well. Patient when I asked many questions.
I came back for my first solo (non lesson) and the gusty winds threw me off my board. Alex tossed it 40feet my direction while demonstrating for his lesson.

Dale is a great guy and great teacher with a laid back personality. Had a great time learning to get up and ride.
After going out with another teacher from another school, I realized that Dale is in it for the money.

Took lessons with SA Kitesurf in Lyle, WA and had an incredible experience. The instructors are very experienced, patient, and they are very safety oriented. Dale and Erika were incredibly helpful and easy to work with. An absolutely beautiful location in the Columbia Gorge. I had Tanner for my first lesson and he went above and beyond in his guidance and feedback. You guys rock!!! I’d highly recommend them to anyone wanting to get into the sport.

I highly recommend SA Kitesurf Adventure Kiteboarding School. I was up riding in a weekend!
Coming from Seattle they were very flexible with the schedule and warned us in advance when the conditions were predicted to be not good for the first session, I opted to do a back to back afternoon and evening session on Saturday, which they didn’t recommend but I was stubborn because family came to watch. In retrospect it would have been better to move to another day or have at least a longer break between sessions. Because my brain knew what to do (thanks to Dale over the radio in the helmet) just my arms and legs were jelly by the second session. Whereas on the Sunday morning session I wasn’t as tired.
Dale was an awesome instructor. He has a calm reassuring voice like Crocodile Dundee when you’re about to panic. As well as having knowledge and tricks to learning that I had not seen anywhere on YouTube. I came in thinking I wasn’t going to learn more than what I already saw but I was very wrong and the instant situational feedback made me progress so much faster.
The equipment was great. The radio headset were a must when taking a class. I wouldn’t have thought that the zodiac would be as well. However it was because the zodiac made it so we could go way upwind in the deep water for nice long downwind runs where you’re up on the board, as it is whole another level to ride upwind. Without the zodiac you would have to walk upwind with the kite for every run, giving you less time, energy and distance to practice.
The Lyle location with its wide flat waist deep sand bar worked great for the first part of learning to control the kite with one hand while getting your feet on the board and getting the beginning water start. A short crowded beach like Hood River would have been a lot harder and less safe.
The photo option is well worth it too, all attached were taken by Dale.
## Schedule Lessons
**Note:** Our booking calendar does not reflect our actual schedule for the season.

### FAQ's
##### Most frequent questions and answers
Who can kiteboard?
You should be at least 12 years of age to learn to kiteboard, and you are never too old. In regard to fitness, people of all shapes and sizes kiteboard. Strength (especially in the core), flexibility, and endurance will help you to progress more quickly in the sport, but are not prerequisites for learning. In fact, kiteboarding is a great way to get into shape! The only physical requirement is the ability to swim. Beyond that, we match the appropriate kite to your size and the wind conditions. In a nutshell, with the same wind speed, the bigger the person, the bigger the kite, the smaller the person, the smaller the kite. Don’t worry, you’re not going to fly away. You’ll be perfectly safe as long as you listen to your instructor.
Do you provide equipment for lessons?
Yes! We provide all the latest equipment including, kites, harnesses, floatation vests, wetsuits, shoes and kiteboards for all your kiteboarding lessons. We also provide two way radio communication so that you stay connected to your instructor at all times and either a boat or a jet ski to transport you upwind when you get to the water start stage. We do recommend bringing your own wetsuit and water shoes if you have your own.
What do I need to bring?
We do provide wetsuits but we recommend bringing your own as sizing can be an issue for some people. Also, water shoes (if you own them), hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and water. We provide the rest!
Why should I take lessons from an IKO affiliated kiteboarding center?
IKO, International Kiteboarding Organization, is the world’s largest kiteboard training organization. To become an IKO affiliated center, kiteboarding schools must meet high standards of set criteria that ensure their commitment to quality and safety. IKO instructors are trained to teach using IKO’s safe, progressive method which helps you to reach your goals faster and with confidence. We do not recommend taking lessons from your kiteboarding friends or schools without certified instructors.
How long will it take me to ride on the board?
That all depends on you! Each person’s kiteboarding progression is different. If you excel at the sport, we will not hold you back, and if you need more time to feel comfortable, we will not push you. On average it takes about 6 hours to stand up on the board and ride a short distance. We recommend 12.5 hours, however, to increase your confidence, ensure safety and become fully independent.
The IKO progression is as follows: In your first lesson you will learn kite setup, safety and begin to master your kite control. In your second lesson you will begin to use the power of the kite to pull your body through the water and learn the body dragging technique. In your third lesson you will put the board on your feet and attempt your first water starts. Most people can only ride in one direction at this point and don’t necessarily feel confident to go out on their own. After 12 hours of training you should be riding in both directions and will fully understand safety and self-rescue techniques to avoid emergency situations.
Short on time? We can combine two lessons into one day and fast track you to the board!
What are the differences between private, semi-private and group lessons?
Private lessons consist of one student, one instructor, and one kite. Semi-Private lessons consist of two students, one instructor, and two kites. Group lessons consist of two students, one instructor, and one kite. Group lessons cost less than private lessons, so bring your friends, family members, or partners! A maximum of three people on a discovery lesson. All equipment is provided for your kiteboarding course.

## Kiteboarding Lessons Near Sarasota Florida
Take kiteboarding lessons near Sarasota and 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!

My husband and I took our first kite boarding lesson with Dale. He was an amazing teacher and explained everything so clearly. We had a blast learning and it was an incredible experience. Would highly recommend trying a lesson from Dale and learning the kite boarding experience!!!

My 15 year old son had an incredible 3 day experience with SA Kitesurf Adventures. After just 3 lessons he went from never having kitesurfed to sailing across the water like a pro. Our instructor Dale was amazing and our son came off the water each day totally excited from his experience. He can’t wait to go back kitesurfing with Dale. We would give 6 stars if we could.

Great experience. Have had an interest in trying kite surfing for a while. Found out I was going to Sarasota recently for a trip that was going to have some down time around required events. On a whim, I contacted Dale to see if there was a way to fit some lessons in around my (fairly constrained) schedule and he was very helpful in figuring out how to make some intro lessons work. Dale’s instruction is top-notch. I am brand new to the sport and being tethered to the kite took a little mental getting used to. Dale took time to make sure I remained comfortable as we advanced through the lessons and I felt thoroughly prepared for each step up. For anyone even thinking about kite surfing, I recommend you go try. It was a great experience and I plan to stick with it.

Amazing experience with Dale! Great instructor, very knowledgeable, and made me feel completely safe on the water. With his help, I landed my first jumps — huge milestone for me. 100% recommend!
[Henry S.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117474960521845647737/reviews)6 months ago
If you want to learn kitesurfing Dale at SA Kitesurf Adventures is the person to see. He is very patient and clear with instructions, he has excellent equipment and his safety training is outstanding! I would highly recommend him !!
[Hayden R.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115168898210208577453/reviews)7 months ago
I just finished my first Foil lesson and it was an awesome experience. Dale had me up and riding way faster than I expected. He broke everything down in a simple, easy-to-understand way.
His coaching, patience, and ability to explain technique made all the difference. If you’re thinking about getting into foiling, I highly recommend taking a lesson with him. It will save you time and frustration.
[Tom M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110789184058697690766/reviews)7 months ago
One of the best sessions I’ve had on the water was with Dale coaching me through toe side riding and basics of jumps. Great resource for lessons – I will be back!
[Anna S.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101438546355852146484/reviews)10 months ago
Probably my most favorite kite lesson I had so far! Even though the wind wasn’t the strongest or maybe just because I was able to learn many new things and improve a lot!
Thanks again for another amazing day out on the kite board.
[Melanie D.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114252339722302925750/reviews)11 months ago
Unbelievably fun experience!!! I’m a total beginner and as a woman, kitesurfing felt a little challenging but Dale made everything (including my many mistakes) funny and doable. Got up for a few seconds a few times on my second lesson and I’m hooked! I highly recommend SA Kitesurf!.
[David R.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111010417440147081512/reviews)2 years ago
Dale was excellent!
[Stewart P.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100285456603723779640/reviews)2 years ago
I’ve had 3 or 4 lessons in several countries and nothing compares to lessons with SAK
Dale is in direct communication while your kiting via as small walkie-talkie on your vest. This leads to instant feedback on your riding and prepping for a turnaround which I needed to learn. I can confidently say I got it after 1 lesson and perfected on the second. Also brushed up on safety procedures which I needed.
[David L.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114321307904688745807/reviews)2 years ago
Dale is the man!! He really cares about his students and does his best to make sure that they complete their goals for each session!
[Patrick M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101313480370516300592/reviews)2 years ago
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!
[Craig L.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109266576002062960536/reviews)2 years ago
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
[Ari M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101993509590422405284/reviews)2 years ago
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.
[Jill B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108966870941428358845/reviews)2 years ago
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.
[Gregg B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113248618411813920910/reviews)2 years ago
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!
[FreeLance Dog T.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106620808885995158287/reviews)3 years ago
Great instructor! Made lots of improvement in two lessons.
[David G.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104114578520685772823/reviews)3 years ago
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!!
[Ic g](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101503979896201208947/reviews)3 years ago
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!
[Elijah B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117694247979996430088/reviews)3 years ago
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
[Wayne Y](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/118115253334848107456/reviews)3 years ago
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.
[Cathryn B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113742534968287202885/reviews)3 years ago

[Nick T.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116000763263737816178/reviews)3 years ago
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!
[James B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108609659741928347294/reviews)3 years ago
Great time! Dale is a awesome instructor especially for me and my brother trying for first time, 5 stars!
[Dennis M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100346665340928659292/reviews)3 years ago

[Shanae C.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112531940460101349720/reviews)3 years ago
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!
[Melissa M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/118345818335941229388/reviews)3 years ago
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.
[Drew Z.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102923460998972022843/reviews)3 years ago
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
[Paul K.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117332026999333630276/reviews)4 years ago
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!!
[Ryan L](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105333461587435181384/reviews)4 years ago
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!
[Maria D.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112986477224828347678/reviews)4 years ago
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 ☺️
[Jared K.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107736436249905751767/reviews)4 years ago
Dale turned me into an independent kiter in no time. Great and patient instructor, can’t recommend enough.
[Brian H.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103119398009586589699/reviews)4 years ago
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.
[Gareth T.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112387269530096374310/reviews)4 years ago
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.
[Gretchen P.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112049520947769201276/reviews)4 years ago
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!
[Joseph K.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113062869808794941704/reviews)4 years ago
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.
[Lee E.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111518493730704877800/reviews)5 years ago
SA is awesome. We proved you could teach old dogs new tricks!!!😂 Thanks Dale
[D D.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112758037398554610395/reviews)5 years ago
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!
[Jeff M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110055776086758477732/reviews)7 years ago
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!

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!
[Maria D.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112986477224828347678/reviews)4 years ago
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 ☺️
[Jared K.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107736436249905751767/reviews)4 years ago
Dale turned me into an independent kiter in no time. Great and patient instructor, can’t recommend enough.
[Brian H.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103119398009586589699/reviews)4 years ago
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.
[Gareth T.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112387269530096374310/reviews)4 years ago
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!
[Joseph K.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113062869808794941704/reviews)4 years ago
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.
[Lee E.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111518493730704877800/reviews)5 years ago
SA is awesome. We proved you could teach old dogs new tricks!!!😂 Thanks Dale
[D D.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112758037398554610395/reviews)5 years ago
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!
[Jeff M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110055776086758477732/reviews)7 years ago
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!
## Weather Forecast
Take a look at the weather forecast and determine what days you may be available to do lesson. We typically need around 12kt+ to be able to fly a kite, so look for higher wind periods in the day and book through our online booking system accordingly.

## Kiteboarding Lessons Near Bradenton Florida
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!

My husband and I took our first kite boarding lesson with Dale. He was an amazing teacher and explained everything so clearly. We had a blast learning and it was an incredible experience. Would highly recommend trying a lesson from Dale and learning the kite boarding experience!!!
[Poindexter](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109404828870117029409/reviews)5 months ago
My 15 year old son had an incredible 3 day experience with SA Kitesurf Adventures. After just 3 lessons he went from never having kitesurfed to sailing across the water like a pro. Our instructor Dale was amazing and our son came off the water each day totally excited from his experience. He can’t wait to go back kitesurfing with Dale. We would give 6 stars if we could.
[Brian K.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113696057558048723886/reviews)5 months ago
Great experience. Have had an interest in trying kite surfing for a while. Found out I was going to Sarasota recently for a trip that was going to have some down time around required events. On a whim, I contacted Dale to see if there was a way to fit some lessons in around my (fairly constrained) schedule and he was very helpful in figuring out how to make some intro lessons work. Dale’s instruction is top-notch. I am brand new to the sport and being tethered to the kite took a little mental getting used to. Dale took time to make sure I remained comfortable as we advanced through the lessons and I felt thoroughly prepared for each step up. For anyone even thinking about kite surfing, I recommend you go try. It was a great experience and I plan to stick with it.
[Nick M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105712668995031153821/reviews)5 months ago
Amazing experience with Dale! Great instructor, very knowledgeable, and made me feel completely safe on the water. With his help, I landed my first jumps — huge milestone for me. 100% recommend!
[Henry S.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117474960521845647737/reviews)6 months ago
If you want to learn kitesurfing Dale at SA Kitesurf Adventures is the person to see. He is very patient and clear with instructions, he has excellent equipment and his safety training is outstanding! I would highly recommend him !!
[Hayden R.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115168898210208577453/reviews)7 months ago
I just finished my first Foil lesson and it was an awesome experience. Dale had me up and riding way faster than I expected. He broke everything down in a simple, easy-to-understand way.
His coaching, patience, and ability to explain technique made all the difference. If you’re thinking about getting into foiling, I highly recommend taking a lesson with him. It will save you time and frustration.
[Tom M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110789184058697690766/reviews)7 months ago
One of the best sessions I’ve had on the water was with Dale coaching me through toe side riding and basics of jumps. Great resource for lessons – I will be back!
[Anna S.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101438546355852146484/reviews)10 months ago
Probably my most favorite kite lesson I had so far! Even though the wind wasn’t the strongest or maybe just because I was able to learn many new things and improve a lot!
Thanks again for another amazing day out on the kite board.
[Melanie D.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114252339722302925750/reviews)11 months ago
Unbelievably fun experience!!! I’m a total beginner and as a woman, kitesurfing felt a little challenging but Dale made everything (including my many mistakes) funny and doable. Got up for a few seconds a few times on my second lesson and I’m hooked! I highly recommend SA Kitesurf!.
[David R.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111010417440147081512/reviews)2 years ago
Dale was excellent!
[Stewart P.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100285456603723779640/reviews)2 years ago
I’ve had 3 or 4 lessons in several countries and nothing compares to lessons with SAK
Dale is in direct communication while your kiting via as small walkie-talkie on your vest. This leads to instant feedback on your riding and prepping for a turnaround which I needed to learn. I can confidently say I got it after 1 lesson and perfected on the second. Also brushed up on safety procedures which I needed.
[David L.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114321307904688745807/reviews)2 years ago
Dale is the man!! He really cares about his students and does his best to make sure that they complete their goals for each session!
[Patrick M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101313480370516300592/reviews)2 years ago
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!
[Craig L.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109266576002062960536/reviews)2 years ago
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
[Ari M.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101993509590422405284/reviews)2 years ago
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.
[Jill B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108966870941428358845/reviews)2 years ago
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.
[Gregg B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113248618411813920910/reviews)2 years ago
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!!
[Ic g](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101503979896201208947/reviews)3 years ago
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!
[Elijah B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117694247979996430088/reviews)3 years ago
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
[Wayne Y](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/118115253334848107456/reviews)3 years ago
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.
[Cathryn B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113742534968287202885/reviews)3 years ago
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
[Nick T.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116000763263737816178/reviews)3 years ago
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!
[James B.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108609659741928347294/reviews)3 years ago

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!

##### About The Spots
## Go on Take the Leap
#### Cape Town South Africa - Jan/Feb
Cape Town is a port city on South Africa’s southwest coast, on a peninsula beneath the imposing Table Mountain. Slowly rotating cable cars climb to the mountain’s flat top, from which there are sweeping views of the city, the busy harbor and boats heading for Robben Island, the notorious prison that once held Nelson Mandela, which is now a living museum.

### [Ozone Contact Water Bar V5](https://sakitesurfadventures.com/product/ozone-contact-water-bar-v5/)
**Published:** June 24, 2023
**Author:** admin
**Excerpt:** A clean and simple design, the Ozone Contact V5 Water Freeride Control Bar features an easy-to-use trim system and features our latest innovation - the Ozone Click-In Loop.
Design Inspiration - What’s the first thing you do when you get in a car? You click in your seatbelt, hearing that ‘click’ sound makes you feel secure that you are safely buckled up, and you know instinctively how to release it. The design of our innovative quick release system, the Click-In Loop, was inspired by the same principle. In the same way fastening your seatbelt has become a natural action when getting into a car, riders should activate and reload their release systems before and after every use. Although this important safety check is often overlooked, checking your release before each session will ensure it is functioning properly. We developed the Click-In function to be simple and intuitive, so activating and reloading will become second nature.
**Content:**
**Ozone Contact Water Bar V5**
**What’s New:**
- **NEW ERGONOMIC EVA GRIP** – 3D pressed EVA with ergonomic shaping and a lightly sanded finish provide the ultimate bar grip. It is colour coded with the leader lines and flying lines for an added visual safety feature.
- **UPDATED SOFT BAR ENDS WITH LEADER LINE ADJUSTMENT** – An updated design with reduced bulk and reduced stainless steel leader line pin height improves bar feeling. The leader lines are adjustable via knots inside the float, simply pull out from the opening to access and adjust to your preference.
- **NEW CLEAT BASE** – All V5 control systems feature our new custom designed cleat base for extra strength, fitted with an anodized low abrasion Clamcleat.
- **NEW BIO-BASED DYNEEMA MODULAR FLYING LINES** – Colour coded lines are precision cut, pre-stretched, spliced and sewn in our own production facility to guarantee accuracy. We use the highest quality Bio-based Dyneema – this material has the same performance as conventional Dyneema® with a carbon footprint that is 90% lower than generic HMPE fiber.
- **New Pigtails / Line Connectors** – Our modular design makes adding or removing extensions quick and easy via removable pigtail end line connectors.
**Key Features:**
- Click-In Loop – Push-away quick release with an innovative one-step Click-In reload function that is incredibly intuitive. The release handle fits comfortably in the hand, it is quick and easy to activate the release by pushing the handle away. A self-positioning release mechanism locates automatically, ready to be re-loaded by simply ‘clicking’ in the loop. The Click-In Loop is AFNOR NF S52-503 certified.
- Bio-based Dyneema Modular Flying Lines – Colour coded 500kg front / 300kg back lines are precision cut, pre-stretched, spliced and sewn in our own production facility to guarantee accuracy. We use the highest quality Bio-based Dyneema® – this material has the same performance as conventional Dyneema® with a carbon footprint that is 90% lower than generic HMPE fiber.

- Ergonomic EVA Grip – 3D pressed EVA with ergonomic shaping and a lightly sanded finish provide the ultimate bar grip. It is colour coded with the leader lines and flying lines for an added visual safety feature.
**Features:**
- Two Release Modes – The Click-In Loop offers riders a choice of two release modes, the recommended Standard or the optional Expert mode.-
- – Standard mode offers 100% flag out in all situations by releasing the Click-In Loop or letting go of the bar when un-hooked.
- – Expert mode offers 100% flag out only when the Click-In Loop is released whilst hooked in, allowing riders practicing handle passes to miss the bar without releasing the kite to flag out (not recommended).
- Three Loop Size Options – Small, Medium and Large size harness loops are available for the Click-In Loop. Choose the Small if you ride hooked in only, have a shorter arm reach or prefer the bar closer to your body. The Medium size is perfect for most riders. The Large size is designed for unhooking or riders with a longer arm reach.
- Spinning Head with Anti-twist Flag Out Line – Our custom Stainless Steel Swivel Ring locates into the Click-In Loops rotating internal core. When manually turning the Spinning Head to un-twist front lines, the Flag Out Line rotates in unison with the core keeping all lines twist free
- Soft Bar Ends with Leader Line Adjustment – Soft bar ends for comfort and are less likely to damage lightly constructed boards. The leader lines are adjustable via knots inside the float, simply pull out from the opening to access and adjust to your preference.
- Stainless Steel Leader Line Pin – Superior strength is achieved with a Stainless pin running through the bar. This creates an ultra strong and direct connection between the control bar to flying lines.
- Light Weight Aluminium Centre Piece – CNC cut Aluminium centre piece reduces weight. The low friction design reduces wear.
- PU Covered De-power Line – The tough PU covered de-power line significantly reduces wear when sheeting in and out.

#### **The Gambit V2**
Introducing the next generation PLKB Gambit kiteboarding package V2 – the ultimate all-around kite for every rider. This kite has been redesigned from the ground up to provide a better, more responsive flying experience with a range of new features and improvements.
Firstly, we’ve made some changes to the plan view, resulting in a lighter and faster steering experience with less bar pressure. The new profile provides better performance, stability and hangtime, allowing for more confidence when riding. Using Teijin materials on the leading edge and canopy, resulting in a more direct feeling with less stretch over the span.
The new Gambit V2 also has a more rounded tip for a better relaunch and is lighter, allowing it to fly in even less wind. We’ve adjusted the LE thickness for a lighter feel with less drag while ensuring stiffness is maintained where it matters. With fewer bridle lines, there’s less drag and a shorter piece of unsheathed Dyneme line to keep the kite in better tune for longer.
But that’s not all – the Gambit V2 also provides more lift, is better at looping, and is more versatile than ever before. This kite truly is an all-around performer, providing endless fun for riders of all skill levels, while larger one-pump valves and tubes make it easy to set up and inflate. Finally, Kevlar reinforcements on spots that get a lot of abrasions ensure that the Gambit V2 is built to last.

After almost 80 prototypes, the Flux flies faster than any wing we’ve ever made.

When flagged out the Aviator drifts smoothly without getting in the way. Yet, even when completely depowered, the wing maintains its responsive nature, switching from drift to acceleration as the rider commands.
An elliptical leading-edge shape and an S-shaped strut provide balanced weight and power distribution. Separate filler valves allow for precise inflation control. The Aviator’s handles – ergonomically shaped and positioned for efficient power delivery – reduce fatigue on the forearms and allow for longer sessions.
The aspect ratio of the Aviator varies through the size range so that the wing feels the same in all conditions.

Impulse wing boards are designed for those looking to start winging and progress quickly! With their ample width, generous volume and inflatable construction, these boards are super stable under feet and quick to take off. The nose rocker has an extra kick that makes touchdown softer and safer. Impulse is built around a long rigid carbon plate positioned under the foot straps area. This technology – combined with Fusion Composite Drop stitch construction – helps the Impulse to achieve a level of stiffness that is more often reserved for composite boards, but with all advantages of an inflatable board. The deck pad is covered with diamond and directional grooves that provide the rider with maximum grip. Impulse wing board is supplied with Unifiber Comfort Foot straps that can be bolted into the embedded inserts. Bigger 6’0 model features a baseplate insert meaning that it can also be used as a wing foiling board.

- Long Carbon Composite Skeleton Plate makes for a very stiff board

- 6’0 only: Use a cardan type baseplate to connect a windsurf rig
- Comes in two sizes 5’4 – 110L and 6′ – 145L

#### The Unifiber Navigator Hydrofoil
Designed to lift off early in minimal breeze, the Navigator is a perfect hydrofoil for beginner and intermediate riders. With its voluminous shape and powerful profile, the front wing is tailored toward a comfortable, safe flight at low speeds. To give rider more control over the flight and reduce the severity of any wipe-outs, the foil is mounted on a 75 cm aluminum mast. Carbon layup for both the front wing and tail stabilizer minimizes flex and weight. All foil components are assembled with 8 mm countersunk hex-head stainless screws that are resistant to corrosion and mechanical damage. The Navigator comes equipped with a plate mount as standard.

### [PLKB HOOK V3 II](https://sakitesurfadventures.com/product/plkb-hook/)
**Published:** June 20, 2023
**Author:** admin
**Excerpt:** The Hook V3 II comes with the new Teijin Triple Ripstop fabric and will bring you to new heights. The key of going to new heights is massive depower, higher flying speed and a super steady kite in stormy conditions. That’s when you’re able to take up a size bigger and keep your edge longer. Pulling on the bar should give you a massive boost to shoot you right in the sky.
**Content:**
With the new Hook, we achieved just this. The best part of it is that you get a kite that is super comfortable to ride with a huge wind range. It’s quick and playful through its turns and perfect for most conditions.
Every size has a unique design. In the bigger picture, the sizes below 10 meter are made for stronger winds while the 10m and up are made for a bit less wind creating more lift with lower speed. As a plane, lift is generated by wing profile and speed. Bigger kites have less speed than smaller kites and therefore require a different wing profile and shape to get more height.
The new Hook is a playful ride to cruise around, jump high and enjoy the view. – Never Stop going higher!

The new Nova is made of Skytex 32 making it a very lightweight wing that flies even in the lightest breeze. Developed for foil riders that want maximum stability with only little wind, while progressing in speed and racing.
The Nova’s innovative Dynamic profile makes the kite adjustable across its entire depower reach. Depowering the Nova creates a full reflex profile for more stability and control. Powering the Nova will release something spectacular resulting in a superfast and agile wing.
Every size has been developed individually to maximize performance. Each size comes with a different Aspect Ratio, Cell count and profile. This year we also introduce the 15- and 18-meter ‘SuperNova’. These performance wings were developed with more race behavior for foil- and buggy riders in mind.
The Nova has been thoroughly tested, in many different conditions; on Twin-tips, by Foil riders, Buggy riders and even on ski’s in a 2000km endurance trip in the Artic circle by Eric Leegwater, all to make sure that you get the best. A versatile and intuitive wing that makes you want to Never Stop Playing.
The Nova is made of durable Skytex 32 and with a weight starting at 1.11 kg, it gets you up on the water with only a few knots. The one-way inlets were redesigned to create an even more airtight foil that makes water relaunches effortless, even in low wind conditions.
