Downwinders & Kite Adventures
Kiteboarding adventures
The Turks & Caicos Islands has some of the best conditions for kiteboarding in the world; both for those wanting to learn how to kiteboarding & for advanced riders. For more experienced kiters, The Turks & Caicos offers miles of backcountry kiting through uninhabited mangrove islands, lagoons, and secret shallow water bays.
Long Bay’s ‘kite beach’ on Providenciales is especially friendly to beginners of the sport and those taking lessons. The shallow flat water, consistent onshore winds and vast area make it one of the best beaches in the world to learn how to kiteboard.
Kite the Island
 With the correct wind direction and conditions, it’s possible to launch from Kite Provo’s Kiteboarding School on Long Bay’s Kite Beach and kite downwind for nearly 9 miles down the southern coast of Providenciales and end up at one of our favorite local restaurants, Boogaloos or Omar’s Beach Hut; both in Five Cays.
Highlights include kiting past all the luxury villas on Long Bay Beach, stunning rock outcroppings, secluded coves, and the house that was once owned by Prince. End your journey with good food and a cold drink at a local restaurant on the beach.Â
The famous shipwreck
If you’re looking to create an adventure right from Long Bay’s kite beach (and have serious stamina & skills), it’s possible to kiteboard or foil board upwind to the famous ‘La Famillia Express’ Shipwreck on Long Bay Beach. This is a 2 mile upwind journey- so be sure you take the necessary safety precautions.Â
Meet The KiteProvo Team
Stop by Long Bay’s kite beach and meet the KiteProvo team. We’re happy to help you in any way we can and love meeting new people. Our team of instructors is passionate about watersports. When we’re not teaching, we’re kiting, wingfoiling, and paddle boarding. Ask our instructors about their favorite kite spots and watch them practice new tricks. Some of our instructors are top-level riders and pretty incredible to see in action.
We look forward to meeting you!
Amazing learning conditions in Turks and Caicos
White sand, miles of knee-to-waist-deep turquoise water, and consistent winds make Long Bay Beach one of the most welcoming places to learn kitesurfing. You will always find enough space away from other kiters and be able to stand and relax when needed.

A great place for that 1st step – I’ve seen kite surfers in several different vacation spots but never had the option to take lessons. Being in Providenciales affords a great chance to take lessons on the… read more very flat shallow waters of Long Bay Beach. Kite Provo was great to work with prior to my arrival on island and Mark was a very informative & patient instructor for this group of 1st timers. This was a great experience & introduction to a fun sport.
July 14, 2022Steve YAlan, our instructor was amazing. The whole team was great! Wish we'd have booked the 10 hour package, cause we were so hooked, we scheduled two more lessons… read more after our first day. Clearly Kite Provo is the best, as we watched many other students and their instructors at other programs along the beach. None compared. We will be back!
April 1, 2022haleyh1234This is the place to learn kiteboarding! – 1. Lessons were easy to book! Questions were quickly addressed and directions to the kiteboarding location were very detailed and easy to understand.
2. The location can not be… read more beat! Nice sandy beach, beautiful warm clear shallow water, small waves, lots of space, uncrowded, and most importantlywind.
3. It was the most amazing and fun experience I’ve ever had!
I showed up with a few trials under my belt, but had never gotten up. Luckily, I was paired up with Mark as my instructor. He was extremely patient and had a great sense of humor which made every lesson a positive learning experience, with the perfect balance of professionalism and fun.
Mark was eager to share his love for kiting and knows how to get you to fly (even if you lack natural grace and finesse like me). I progressed from face planting to successful waterstarts and riding across the water. He even took some pictures and videos for me so I have proof!
I just can’t recommend Mark enough! He was so easy to get along with and enjoying his company in addition to the instruction took the experience to the highest level. I can’t wait to come back!

Is it possible to give Kite Provo and Mark, my spirited instructor, 6 stars? Tripadvisor doesn’t make that possible, but Mark deserves it. If you’re looking to sharpen your skills,… read more or you’re a beginner, be sure to request Mark for anything related to kiteboarding. Mark made me more confident, and taught me basic skills to get up, and keep moving! He’s patient and personable. You would be remiss if you didn’t request him as your instructor. Don’t forget to kite with conscience.

March 18, 2022BEST Kitesurfing and Mangrove Tour Experience! – This place deserves more than 5 stars! Both my kids did private lessons over Spring Break with Mati and Julie. They are both high school athletes and have a lot… read more of experience with MANY different kinds instructors and both said they were amazing instructors. The kids ended up going back for privates 2 more days (would have been 3 but there was no wind!) My husband even ended up doing a private with Antek because he was so impressed. All 3 had such a great time. Our biggest regret is not doing lessons the entire week we were in Turks and Caicos. And MY biggest regret is not joining in on the fun. The staff is super friendly. Don’t look anywhere else. These folks are the real deal. Also do the Mangrove Tour through Kite Provo. Mark, who is also a kiteboarding instructor, led this tour and it was FANTASTIC!
