Baja Board (El Sargento, Mexico)

ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

 We are located beside Los Palmas in an area of La Ventana not currently used by many other kiters or kite schools so we have a bit of a private beach to offer you the best lessons possible!

 Beginner, Intermediate

My name is Nicole Eden I have owned Girl On A Board Kite School since 2013. I love the concept of an all female team and us being here to empower you. However, there are too many amazing men out there to focus on just women. We are opening our market to the other half of the world. Haha and we hope you still enjoy the same welcoming vibe, friendly smiles, top of the line equipment we have always had.

I love La Ventana and so happy to have this place to share with an already amazing community of kiters, kite schools and future kiters. Let us help you plan your vacation we have all the services at our finger tips from accomodations, transportation, and more!

SURF COURSE AND ACTIVITIES

Kite Lessons
Professional Kite School we are focused on your success! We adapt our lessons plans for your skill sets and learning speed! Our lesson plan is structured to teach you all of the essential skills so that you can safetly practice on your own after the lesson is over. We buy new kites every year so the gear will be the best quality to maximize your safety. We offer atv assisted and jet ski assisted lessons.

Day 1 What we cover
We have found the quickest way to teach is to start with land training. We skip the trainer kite as it can develop bad habits instead we use a 5 meter kite and short lines so that you are able to develop the confidence, muscle memory and learn the theory while you are flying the kite. On day one we teach you how to set up the gear properly, to read the wind and weather/ beach conditions to identify when it is safe to kite. At the end of the lesson we teach you how to launch and land the kite and self rescue

Day 2 What we cover and btw if you learn fast we speed up to do Day 3 on Day 2 and if you learn slow we take is slower..
Customized for you my friends!

Everything you learned on day one we get to practice in the water Tandem. This is usually the most fun as we get to play in the water together. We use full size kites and short or long lines depending on the weather. There are a few additional skills that you need to learn such as body dragging up wind and getting in and out of the water on your own.

Day 3
This is the day!! You will be on your own with the kite and with a radio helmet or with jet ski support depending on what you book. You get to show off your kite control with adding the new element of the board. For some just coordinating the kite and the board is enough while others are able to control the kite and the board and are able to practice water starts and riding! Book your advanced lesson to practice riding upwind or to learn new tricks
