Air Padre's Beginner Kiteboarding Camp is for anyone who has seen someone kiteboarding and said, "I want to do that para-kite-surf-wind-sail-board-thing too!" Our professional instructors will teach you how to kiteboard, starting from the beginning. We will inform you about proper gear selection and setup, safe kite handling, launching and landing, all the way through getting up and riding, changing direction and more!
This is also a great camp for anyone that has taken a lesson in the past but is still a little unsure about how to handle big kites, and is looking to get a comprehensive understanding from the beginning. Beginner Kiteboarding Camps includes 12 hours of instruction spread across 3 days. All camps have no more than two (2) students to every instructor, and kite time is shared evenly between the 2 students throughout the 12 hour camp. Scroll down for available beginner camp dates.

The Air Padre Beginner Kiteboarding Camp checks in at 9:00am at Air Padre Kiteboarding, to get geared up with radio helmets, kite harnesses, and to meet our coaches. From there, students and instructors depart to our beginner lesson location, one of the premier places to learn to kiteboard in the world, with a half mile wide soft sand beach, and hundreds of acres of warm waist deep, sandy bottom water. The first half of day one will take place high and dry on the beach, for the second half of the lesson students will be in the water.
On the second day of the Beginner Kiteboarding Camp students will meet at 9:00am at the Air Padre Shop, from where students and coaches will depart by boat to another premium shallow water, sandy beach destination where we will work on water start and riding techniques.
At any time during portions of a kiteboarding camp or lesson that take place in the water, students are free to hop in the boat to take a break, adjust equipment, watch their instructor demonstrate techniques from a great vantage point, or just watch their friends!
Day three of Air Padre's Beginner Kiteboarding Camp is another day of riding, where students will be coached according to their needs on the water. Our pro coaches will be able to help you brush up on anything that you need, including staying upwind, ripping smooth turns, maybe even catching some air!
We require a full deposit towards the kiteboarding camps to reserve the date and time. If camp is canceled by Air Padre Kiteboarding because of weather, no wind or other reasons, and not successfully rescheduled, we will refund your deposit. If you can't make your scheduled camp date, please inform us one week in advance and we will be happy to offer a rain check or apply the deposit towards store credit.
If only one person is signed up for a camp, that person will get nine (9) total hours of private lessons instead of the normal twelve (12) hours of group lessons.
