We have also added additional tips and tricks to the courses, based on our many years of experience teaching kiteboarding in the Tampa Bay area.

Not only do we have great kiting, there's plenty of off the water action going on too! Live local music can be heard at several beachside bars and clubs 7 nights a week, and we are happy to help you plan your vacation according to your tastes. Give us a call and we'll help you out!
