We work with every level of kiter from those just being initiated and intermediate riders seeking certification to seasoned enthusiasts of the sport who want to refine their techniques, learn new tricks or elevate their game. We use the latest equipment to teach, including two-way radio communication.
The exhilaration of harnessing the wind is what every kiter lives for, and our raison d’etre is to help each student cultivate the skills, finesse and confidence to soar. And the fun isn’t limited to the water! We also teach landkiting… be it scudding, landboard or buggy… and even snowkiting. Being proficient in each of these disciplines allows all of us to kite here in Chicago year around!
