The Caribbean

• Beginner riders should feel comfortable booking in the Caribbean because of good, consistent wind and shallow, clear waters. The shallow bays make it easy to stand up when you need to and accerlate the learning process. Looks for a stay/school directly near the beach in a shallow bay for the ideal learning conditions. 

• Consider entry requirements and flights when selecting an island. The Caribbean is many nations and territories, all with different requirments and advantages. Europeans will find it easier to book and pay in the Caribbean Netherlands, while Americans can enjoy easy flights into Turks and Caicos. Depending on your country of origin, each island has unique advantages. 

• Plan to book at least 3-4 days of consequetive riding. A kite vacation is a great time to accelerate learning. The only way to do that is comfort an familiarity. Unfortunately, most of us don't live right down by the beach, so this might be your only chance for a while to get some serious riding in. If you're just starting out or a seasoned expert trying to work on kite loops or foiling, the same rules apply. 

White, sandy beaches and crystal clear blue waters make the Caribbean a popular spot for tourists of all kinds. But the consistent winds is what brings kiters back each year. Combine that with luxury accommodations, rich culture and history unique to each island, and you can see why this region has become a crowd favorite. The Caribbean is also home to some of the most trusted and longest standing kite operators in the world. Many of them have been helping people learn to kite for decades. They also know the islands like the back of their hand, and can take you to secret spots and unique locations that others couldn't access. 

There is an incredible diversity of kite spots, schools and accommodations to fit any group. For non kiters, there is also plenty to do, making the Caribbean a great choice for families and large groups, where some people may want to kite in the morning, and then meet up later in the afternoon with everyone. This is also home to a wide range of villas and resort properties that make for an upscale stay that you can't get in other parts of the world where the kiting is good. You'll enjoy 5 start service, in mostly English speaking countries, and everything will be taking care of for you.
