Downwinder Ride Along Lesson

Downwinder Ride-Along Lesson

Take your kitesurfing skills to new heights with our Downwinder Ride-Along Lesson—a unique and exhilarating way to progress while enjoying the stunning coastline of La Ventana. This lesson offers a truly immersive experience, simulating the real conditions and freedom of an independent kitesurfing adventure, all while having the support and guidance of an experienced instructor.

Choose Your Downwinder Experience

We offer two dynamic downwinder options, each designed to maximize your learning and ensure a fun, skill-building session:

1. Kitesurfing Ride-Along (No JetSki Support)

• Price: $110 USD per hour
  For the more authentic experience, you and your instructor will both be on kitesurfing gear. You’ll follow their lead, mimic their techniques, and receive real-time feedback as you ride side-by-side. This method allows you to focus on practicing key skills, learning from your instructor's movements while riding downwind.

2. JetSki-Assisted Lesson

• Price: $280 USD for 2 hours
  Your instructor follows alongside you on a JetSki, providing safety and support throughout the ride. This option allows for:
• Quick board recovery: If you lose your board during the ride, the instructor can assist immediately, ensuring minimal downtime.
• Rest breaks: If you need a breather, you can swap with the instructor and take a break on the JetSki, allowing you to recover and refocus without ending the lesson early.

Both options ensure you get real-time coaching and the support needed to progress your kitesurfing skills in a dynamic environment.

Route Options

Each session requires a minimum of 2 hours, with two route options for your downwinder:

1. From North to Base Camp (1.5-2 Hours)

• Skill-building: The ride focuses on transitions, riding techniques, and following your instructor’s lead to improve your overall skillset.
• Continue practicing if early: If you reach base camp before the 2-hour session is complete, your instructor will ensure you continue practicing until the full session time is covered.

2. Extended Downwinder (End of the Bay)

• Break and continue: After reaching base camp, take a short break, then continue your ride all the way to the end of the bay, providing a longer session for more advanced skill practice.
• Pickup service: Once you reach the end of the bay, we’ll arrange for you to be picked up and brought back to base camp.

What’s Included?

• Premium Equipment: We provide North kiteboarding kites, boards, and harnesses, ensuring top-tier performance for your session.
• Real-Time Coaching: Our BbTalking Radio system keeps you connected with your instructor, delivering immediate feedback throughout the session.
• Wetsuits: Available at no extra charge, keeping you comfortable during your ride.
