Learn Kitesurfing Safely
Kitesurfing is an extreme sport that uses a specially designed kite to harness the power of the wind and glide across the water on a board — whether twin-tip, directional, or foil.
Because of its nature, it requires professional and safe instruction.
At Yuckite, students learn with instructors certified by the International Kiteboarding Organization (I.K.O.), trained under international safety and teaching standards.
Each lesson is private, with personalized equipment and attention, allowing you to progress at your own pace and ensuring faster, more effective learning.
On average, 10–12 hours of training (in sessions of 2 to 4 hours per day) are needed to become an independent and confident rider.
We also offer group discounts, always maintaining the 1 student = 1 instructor ratio so each participant keeps an individual schedule and progress plan.
