No Wind?No Charge!If we do not have suitable conditions for a kiteboarding lesson, you will not be charged and will be rescheduled for another day at your convenience.We only teach our kiteboard lessons in safe, suitable locations and conditions, and do not teach in winds over 25 mph. Our goal at Kiteboarding Tampa Bay is to provide the safest, most educational kiteboarding lesson possible that will put you on the fast track to becoming a safe, independent kiter. An instructors priority is your safety and has the right to reschedule your kiteboarding lesson if conditions are not adequate for a beginner.
Booties are highly recommended at most launch sites in the area. You will be doing plenty of walking and standing in the water and also getting pulled around by the kite. Our riding spots have plenty of things that will cut you, including rocks, glass, shells, oyster beds, and stingrays. Pick up some neoprene booties with rubber soles, your feet will thank you for it!
Our Lesson Policy- Things You Should Know
1. An instructors priority is your safety. KTB does not teach in winds over 25 knots for your safety and the safety of beach goers. It is the instructor's call to decide if the conditions are suitable for a lesson. You will gladly be re-scheduled to your next available date.
2. We do not control the wind or the weather, and the conditions are subject to change whenever they feel like it. That is reality in the sport of kiteboarding, so get used to it.
3. We always speak the morning of the lessons to verify the wind, weather conditions, and teaching location for the day. (Make sure to call us BEFORE you drive to the beach) Phone reception is not always reliable at our riding spots- please get directions and make all arrangements before you head out.
4. Students who book their lessons online get priority service. You are encouraged to book online to avoid the waiting list during peak times.
5. As everyone leads busy lives, scheduling is most effective for you to stay in touch by phone and let us know your schedule. Keeping up with 30 or 40 students schedules at once is impossible- please call us any time you are available and the conditions look good, as we are here 7 days a week to take care of you.
