Overview
Welcome to Kitesurfing St Lucia!
The company was set up in 2005 by local rider Beth. “Kitesurfing has given me so much enjoyment over the past few years, I want to share this with people and show them how to learn this amazing sport”.
Having discovered this idyllic beach and pioneered kitesurfing here in the north of the island, our teaching methods are bringing together all of our experience and knowledge of the sport to give you the highest quality and professional tuition on the latest equipment. Kitesurfing is our passion, and it won’t take you long to realise this. Learning to kitesurf in a relaxed atmosphere is important, and there is nowhere better than a warm beautiful Caribbean beach.
Whether your a beginner or already know how to kitesurf, we have lessons to cater for your needs.
Learn to fly a power kite and body drag in the 2 hour Discover Kitesurfing.
Our Jetski Assisted lessons provide you with instant feedback while you are on the water to help with your learning progression, and also save the walk back upwind on the beach, giving you more time flying the kite and riding.
Are you learning to get up on a board? Is going upwind a problem? Want to learn to gybe? Can’t land your jumps? Do you have problems water relaunching? Want to learn advanced tricks? No worries, our Private Lessons can cater to your every need to help with your progress.
We are based on Cas en Bas beach towards the north end of the island of St Lucia.
A C-shaped bay, Cas en Bas is on the Atlantic side of the island benefitting from the constant breezy trade winds. It has protection from an outer reef, meaning the water is always flat inside the bay, with the swell breaking upwind outside the bay.
Only a short 10 minute drive away, passing the St Lucia golf course, from all of the main hotels and restaurants on the island.
It is in Cas en Bas where you will see most of the local riders out enjoying the fresh trade winds and beautiful Caribbean water. With only a few locals who kitesurf on the island, they are a pretty friendly bunch who are more than willing to help out at any time or share their knowledge of the island to help you enjoy your stay.
