Kite Boarding on Long Bay – TCI

Kitesurfing—harnessing the power of the wind to slide through the water and into the air on a kiteboard— guaranteed to help free your soul and lift your spirts.

Few places rival the Turks and Caicos for beginners, with its shallow bays and constant onshore winds it is rated one of the best places in the world to learn to Kiteboard.

Turks and Caicos is truly an island that is “beautiful by nature,” as its license plates proclaim. If you include locals the who have a very relaxed, friendly vibe, and you have everything you need for a perfect vacation.

First steps:

You land on the main island of Providenciales (or Provo, as it’s locally known), then swing over to for Long Bay. You will see the kites as you approach what as been called the top location in the world to learn to Kiteboard! Still tons of room for you!

Lessons: You begin by learning to fly a kite from the beach  harder than you might think!) then progress to using the kite to pull yourself through the water. Once you’ve gotten the hang of the kite, you can start learning how to get up on the board—usually on day two. – Tanning and enjoying the turquoise waters all included with each training package!

When to Visit:

The trade winds blow on shore from November through June, making the winter months the best time to visit!
