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.
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.
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.

David Bobrowsky2023-07-14 We had Jay as the instructor for my 15 year old daughter and myself and we had a great time and learned a lot. We had never done kite boarding before today and we learned enough basic controls of the kite, how to get it out of the water when we crashed it into the water and started to get up on the board. Jay was very patient even when I did not do what he said, my daughter listened so she was his favorite. If we have time we will probably do another lesson. I would highly recommend using the Kite Provo Kiteboarding school. Update: We went back to Turks and Caicos this summer and had Alan as our instructor and he was great, just refreshed us on the skills we learned last year and moved us forward. We had a great time and I do not know how to say this any better but Kite Provo Kiteboarding School is GREAT. Michael Swiatocha2023-07-06 Great experience- SUPs were delivered on time and we used them for our entire trip. Nisha Khanna2023-06-29 Lovely morning with lots of wildlife, and a fantastic naturalist as guide and teacher! My daughters and I are fairly new to SUP, having only been once before, several years ago, with the same organization. The other participants cancelled at the last minute, and we had a private tour with Mark. He was absolutely the best we could possibly expect. Patient and calm, constantly keeping an eye on us to see that we felt safe, encouraging us to try and stand up where the water and wind were calm, etc. He is also very knowledgeable and caring about the marine ecosystem and sea-life. We saw lots of turtles, baby sharks, and various other creatures. We especially appreciated that he was focused on preserving the ecosystem, even at the expense of providing us with additional "thrills". He is also very honest about what he does and doesn't know. Thanks, Mark, for an exceptional experience. Andy Brijmohansingh2023-06-19 Service was excellent. Instructor was patient and very friendly.

There will provide you with excellent equipment, but I brought my own and the instructor showed me some things about my equipment I didn’t even know . antoine planque2023-04-06 Just finished a 10 lesson course (20 hrs) with Sarah Jane. Extremely satisfied, SJ has been very patient and helpful, and thanks to this I have been able to improvement considerably in all areas. Thanks also to Julie for the first lesson, also an excellent coach. And finally thanks also to Alan and the other coaches, they are a superb team for anyone who wants to improve and progress, Long Bay in Turks & Caicos is certainly one of the best places to learn and improve kitesurfing.
