Kiteboarding Lessons
for Chicago Travelers

  It was a 5. I had two different instructors for my 6 lessons. They were very good and very patient. And very competent. And very flexible.

  We booked a paddle boarding tour from 8:15-10:15am. After a long paddle across the channel, we made it to the mangroves and saw all kinds of wildlife: conch, lemon... read more sharks, and many sea turtles. It was really amazing.

  Great for beginners! Excellent instructor (named SJ) for 3 of us. She moved the fast track class (3 hours) along so that we each got on the board... read more a few times in the last hour (a lot to learn that was all enjoyable before that!). Location was perfect with low tide, warm water, ability to walk out into the water & stay together.

  This 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!

  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.

  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.

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.

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

  Turtles!!!! - Awesome tours even on a windy day. Mark guided us safely across the choppy water to the calm and beautiful mangroves. We saw a plethora of turtles, several different fish,... read more and a few baby nurse sharks. Mark was also very knowledgeable about the environment and provided water for the entire party. Great time!!!
