10 hours of classes Riohacha, Mayapo Beach

What to expect

10 hours of classes in 3 days

You will have between 3 and 4 hours of practice daily, divided into a morning session and another in the afternoon.
During the first few hours (1h30), your private instructor will help you familiarize yourself with the equipment, safety, and kite handling.
Once you've mastered the basics, and during 1h30, you enter the water pulled by your kite (first with the instructor, then on your own using a walkie-talkie installed in your safety helmet) to understand more about how your equipment reacts to the wind.
You then repeat the exercise with the board in your hands and learn how to recover the board if you lose it (3 hours). The next hour is dedicated to learning self-rescue (1 hour).
Then, it will be time to get on your board and start sailing in both directions (3 hours).

Our review

Why choose this option:

To start kitesurfing in good wind and safe conditions.
Start with quality equipment and certified instructors.
Accommodation in Riohacha can be economical,l and classes are affordable.

What may disappoint:

Staying in Mayapo. The accommodation options are poor, very expensive and disappointingly good value for your money. You'll be far from everything and dependent on the hotel restaurant for food.
Riohacha is not the country's most attractive city, nor is its beach.
