Benefits of Kiteboarding

For all fitness & strength levels

Kiteboarding is technical, not physical. You don’t have to be super strong or athletic. You can do this, and we’ll teach you how!

For all ages

Our kiters range from ages 8 to 74, but we’re always ready to set new records. It’s a great sport for families to enjoy together.

For all experience levels

There’s something for everyone. We teach beginners to ride safely and independently. We teach advanced riders more technical skills and advanced tricks.

Safe

Each lesson is conducted with a safety-first approach. Our goal is for every student to become a safe, independent rider with confidence in their kite skills.

Affordable

Kiteboarding doesn’t have to break the bank. Pure Kiteboarding provides the most affordable instruction in the area.

Spreading the Joy of

Kiteboarding

“Stanley is a great instructor! I was looking for snowkite lessons when I found him.
He was awesome, I told him that I have been kiteboarding for 12 years in Brazil but I have
never snowkiting/snowboarding before. So he adapted the lessons regarding my previous knowledge,
teaching me more about what was new for me. He also gave me autonomy to discover
and explore with safety and responsibility.”

“Amazing experience with an amazing instructor!
Even if I am not so young, Stanley provided a
step by step experience with all safety needed,
I recommend the experience for everybody,
thank you Stanley!”

Emmanuel D.

“ I had such a great experience learning from Stanley. We went out on a calm day and I learned to get up on the board behind a
boat, then I had 2 sessions learning kite control and riding the board. He has a heavy focus on safety, and his passion for
the sport is addictive. He genuinely seems excited when watching a student progress.
I also went out with him once in the winter to learn differences in launching and landing for snowkiting.”
I would (and frequently do) recommend Stanley at Pure Kiteboarding.”

Jonathan G.

“My son started snowkiting with Pure Kiteboarding this winter and it’s
been great! Stanley is an awesome coach – patient, knowledgeable,
engaging, and passionate. He made the whole experience, safe, fun,
and enjoyable. After only a couple lessons he had my son up and
riding independently and full of stoke.”

Bronwyn Y.

“Great experience. Stanley is
steady and responsible as well
as helpful and easy going.
Makes you feel comfortable
and at ease.”
