Downwinders & Kite Adventures

  I had Alan as instructor, he is competant and was able to detect my mistakes rapidly and teach me how to correct it. Alan is a very nice guy, friendly… read more and good communicator. I also spoke with Mauwi, also a friendly guy. I recommend Provo Kite.

  Board Rental – Rented a board from them for few hours. Price was fair- plenty of kite boards to choose from, surfboards/twin tips.
Much easier than traveling with my own board-… read more had a great windy day mowing the lawn and practicing some flat water tricks. I’ve kited several other islands and their setup is top notch, only thing that would have made it better would have been some waves!

  Kiteboarding lesson – Great instructor, setting, weather and equipment for kiteboarding. Jay did an excellent job reviewing principles and moving through the lesson at our pace. Did a three hour… read more bring a friend lesson which brought us up to the point of rudimentary kite control and just starting to get up on the board. Left us wanting to return for the next step. Will be going back for more.

  BEST 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!

  New to kiteboarding and learned a great deal  – My husband and I didn’t know what to expect and ended up learning a great deal about flying the kite and getting started. I’d definitely like to go again.… read more The instructors with Kite Provo were top notch.

  This is the second year we wen to Kite Provo and had a wonderful time improving our kiting while minimizing frustration Mark was fantastic as an instructor and Astro was… read more a wonderful Supervision jet ski Meister, who by the way is hysterical if you ask him about winging vs kiting. Both were right there if you had any problems.

By the way, since our family of 8 ranged from my 91 year old mother to 25 year old kids, we stayed at Club Med and had all our meals together. Then with a rental car four of us would drive the 7 minutes to Long Bay for kiting each day. It worked out really well.

  3 friends and I went paddleboarding through the mangroves and it was beautiful. We saw tons of turtles and our guides were great!

  The best of long bay  – Provo is the oldest kite school on the island and it truly showed why! True professionals from the front office to the instructors. Would recommend whole heartedly to anyone interested… read more in learning this amazing sport

  I can't imagine a better program, location and instructor. I started in Dominican Republic, then Antigua, and finally Kite Provo in TCI. Knowing what I know now, I… read more would have skipped the first two. I progressed more in 1 day w/Mark at Kite Provo, than the others combined. Mark is not only a great kite-boarder and "natural" teacher, he is a great guy and genuinely enjoys watching you progress! Their process is unique. Because of the water depth, the instructor is out there with you. No shouting from the beach. AND, they can see your form up close to provide great immediate feedback. They are also able to demonstrate for you, right there. You could not design a better location to learn and progress : perfect winds; perfect depth; flat water. Tie that with great instructors, and you not only progress quickly, but have fun doing it!

  Great tour! The water was beautiful. Chris with SUP PROVO did an outstanding job showing us the wildlife and explaining how this wonderful eco system work. We… read more saw everything the tour promised; baby sharks (only 18 inches long) sea turtles, fish and even a couple of green herons. I would definitely recommend the paddle boards for the best views (SUP PROVO stands for Stand Up Paddle Providenciales), but the kayak worked very well also.

  SJ and the Kite Provo crew are friendly and offer fantastic instruction. The crew are great instructors. SJ helped me reach a breakthrough with transitions and the setup- including newer… read more gear in great shape along with shallow warm water is perfect for any kiteboarder. Top-notch!

  I had 5 two-hour lessons with the Kite Provo team in early December 2021 as a beginner kite boarder. Kite boarding can have a steep learning curve, especially for older… read more guys like me. With their excellent teaching (and a lot of patience), I got up during the 4th session, and look forward to moving beyond beginner stage. I booked my lessons directly with them through their site. Here is the thank you note I sent: Dear Chris, Kristen, SJ, Mawi, Astro, and Jerry (and everyone at Kite Provo): Thank you so much for doing a wonderful job helping me struggle through being a beginner kiteboarder. I am so impressed by the quality of your teaching, your patience, kindness, and care in making sure things get done right even with the inevitable chaos all around. I very much look forward to trying to go to the next level as soon as I can.
