Unlock Your Full Kiteboarding Potential - Join Our Intensive Camps
July 4 to July 6
July 18 to July 20
August 1 to August 3
Tired of slow progress from scattered lessons? These kiteboarding camps are designed for those who are ready to commit and become truly independent riders.
Typical kite lessons run for just 2 hours a day, which can stretch your learning curve for months or years! From my experience, the riders that learn fastest are the ones who can dedicate several consecutive days to nothing but kiteboarding.
Our camps are structured around exactly that. Over three FULL days, you'll build a solid foundation of independence and confidence on the water. Once you're comfortable, we’ll tailor the experience to your goals. Whether experiencing your first rides, jumping higher, riding strapless, learning to foil, or simply progressing faster in a supportive, high stoke environment.
Conditions to Progress
Sherman Island is one of the best kiteboarding locations in California. It usually has warm weather and consistant winds. Many Bay Area kiters enjoy sessioning here, but sometimes it can be crowded.
Don't worry, we will be taking you to an island that is away from the crowds and has plenty of room to practice. Perfect to try your first body drags, riding strapless, or jumping in the air. Maybe at the end of your three days you will do a downwinder and land your own kite at Sherman Island launch site.
